Prediction record · locked before results

Every prediction has a buy time and a sell time.

Eight paper predictions fix their direction, entry time, exit time, stop rule and result rule before the outcome is known. The original five stay locked. Alphabet, Bitcoin and Meta were added later without changing them. BUY and SELL are test records, not personal financial advice.
