How we know
Where the numbers come from.
Every course in this corner of the market repeats the same rules. Almost none of them say where the rules came from, and the honest answer is usually that somebody was told them by somebody else. This page is the answer for ours.
The census
Most figures in these lessons come from one dataset we built and keep: every US-listed day, 2021 to 2026, where a small cap doubled intraday on at least $1M traded. That is 5,925 runner-days. It is assembled mechanically from a whole-market scan — not hand-picked — so the duds and the disasters are in it alongside the ones people post screenshots of.
A second, wider dataset — 43,738 runner-days from 2023 to 2026 — backs the VWAP material. When a lesson quotes a number it names which one it came from, because they are not interchangeable and we have already crossed them once by accident.
What we do with a rule that fails
We keep teaching it, next to the evidence that killed it. Shorting the open on a gapper runs a profit factor of 0.11 in our own testing. The naive double-top short looked strong until a real stop and realistic slippage were applied, and then it lost money. Both are still in the course, because the reason a popular rule fails is more useful than never having heard of it.
The same applies to us. Room 10 teaches the published Limit Up-Limit Down band rules and then shows you 16,227 measurements from the tape where the published rule does not hold — including the part where we had to correct our own code.
What the census cannot tell you
This is the limitation that matters, and it is not a small one. A day only enters the census after it has already doubled. So a statistic like “37% of day-highs are in by the opening bell” describes a group you can only be certain you are standing inside at four o’clock. It does not mean 37% of the gappers on your screen at 09:30 have topped — most of those never become runners at all.
Figures like that describe the shape of the thing once it happened. That is genuinely useful: it is how you recognise a runner day while you are in one. It is not a forecast, and the lessons say so where it matters.
Who writes it
One person, working from their own scanner, their own trade history and the datasets above. Not a firm, not a room of analysts, and not a signal service — there is nothing to subscribe to here except the course itself. That is a limitation as much as a boast: a single set of eyes has a single set of blind spots, which is part of why the evidence blocks quote their sample sizes and why the failures stay in.
▪ What that adds up to
17 rooms and 106 lessons — 89 taught, plus a recap closing each room — with the measured evidence attached to the claims it supports. It is educational material — not advice, not signals, and not a promise you will make money. Most people who trade this lose money.
