How to read a record
- Hit rate
- The share of scored calls with a positive excess return in the direction of the call.
- Excess return vs SPY
- How far the stock beat or trailed SPY over the same window, counted in the direction of the call and averaged across scored calls.
- Scored calls
- Calls old enough to measure at that horizon. Newer calls join as their window closes.
- 90% interval
- A Wilson score interval: the range the true hit rate likely sits in, given how many calls there are.
Why keep score
- Calls get deleted or edited after they miss.
- Nobody shows the losing calls next to the winners.
- Hot takes arrive faster than anyone can check them.
How a call is scored
- Counts
- A post in the account's own words that names a ticker and a direction, long or short. When a post is ambiguous, it is left out.
- Doesn't count
- Vague sector talk, questions, retweets of other accounts, and after-the-fact “I told you so” posts.
- Measured
- The stock's return minus SPY's return over the same window, at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after the post.
- Hit
- A positive excess return in the direction of the call. Anything else is a miss.
| Call | Stock | SPY | In the call's direction | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Long | +6.0% | +2.0% | +4.0% | Hit |
| Long | +1.0% | +2.5% | −1.5% | Miss |
| Short | −3.0% | +1.0% | +4.0% | Hit |
Any scored call can be disputed and goes to human review. The 90% interval around each hit rate is a Wilson score interval, so a record built on few calls shows how uncertain it is.
