Performance methodology

What Counted

• Signals that were generated by the production signal pipeline for a public tier.
• Entry, stop, target, invalidation, and halal context attached at send time.
• Time-stamped signal records, price snapshots, and the matching tier context.
• Closed trades or measured open-trade snapshots where the measurement date is labeled.

What Did Not Count

• Backfilled ideas that were not available to subscribers at the time.
• Unsent research drafts, duplicate ticker rows, and manually cherry-picked examples.
• Broker fills, slippage, taxes, zakat, purification, position sizing, and user execution.
• Assets that later failed the halal screen unless the page explicitly marks them as historical.

Return Calculation

Percentage return is measured from the published entry reference to the exit, target, stop, or labeled snapshot price. The public leaderboard pages rank market movement inside current passlists only; they are separate from subscriber signal performance and are suppressed when timestamps, signs, or data freshness do not validate.
