Not every activity is a signal
Market activity becomes analytically relevant only after several contextual checks.
Methodology
A signal is a reason to investigate, not an instruction to trade
Trade Buddy separates raw activity from decision-ready context. The platform asks what changed, who may be involved, whether the behavior repeats, what event can reprice the contract, and whether the position can be managed responsibly.
Core principles
Participant context requires history
One successful entry does not establish participant quality. Repeated behavior, exits, realized outcomes, and noise matter.
The event matters as much as the flow
Market rules, deadlines, debates, games, releases, court dates, and other catalysts can invalidate a purely chart-based interpretation.
Exit conditions are part of the thesis
Potential upside is incomplete without available liquidity, slippage, time to resolution, hedge exposure, and a plan for changing evidence.
The evidence considered during research
| Market evidence | Observable changes in price, liquidity, pace, and capital activity. | Shows what changed and whether it deserves closer research. |
|---|---|---|
| Participant context | Visible history and repeated behavior where the exchange exposes identity. | Adds context without treating one action as proof of quality. |
| Event context | Market rules, dates, catalysts, and scenarios that can change the thesis. | Keeps market activity tied to the underlying event. |
| Position context | Personal exposure, available liquidity, and possible exit constraints. | Connects research with position and risk management. |
| Research record | Notes, reminders, targets, and new evidence saved by the user. | Maintains continuity as the market changes. |
What Trade Buddy helps surface
Unusual capital activity
Entries or flows that differ from ordinary market behavior.
Repeated participant behavior
Visible activity that becomes more informative when it repeats over time.
Accelerating market flow
Changes in pace or density that deserve closer event research.
Event-driven repricing
Market movement evaluated beside rules, timing, and external catalysts.
Concentration risk
Activity that may look strong but depends heavily on limited participants or liquidity.
Position and exit risk
Changes that can affect personal exposure, liquidity, or an exit decision.
