Too few price-backed calls to draw a conclusion yet.

What “return vs sector” means
Each call's stock vs its own sector — beating the sector, not just going up, is the fair test of skill. Averaged across 10 deduplicated bets. Calls that named their own timeframe are judged over that window (as a per-month rate); the rest over 1 month.
Indistinguishable from luck

Across 10 bets, @IAMYellowCake's average call trailed its sector by 2.5%t = -0.3, not enough to tell skill from chance.

could be luckt = 2almost certain

t = -0.3 — the strength of the evidence. Above 2, there's under a 5% chance it's luck.

How the t-value works

Each call is one bet, scored by how much it beat its own sector (fairer than the whole market). The t-value is the average beat divided by its uncertainty:

t = x̄ ⁄ ( s ⁄ √M ) x̄ = avg beat · s = how much the bets vary · M = number of bets

Same-week, same-sector calls ride one move, so they prove less than fully independent wins — the 10 bets count as 7 effective ones. That's why the honest t is -0.3, not the raw -0.3. Full breakdown on the analysis page.

@domsawyerOG @AltcoinDaily This BTC cycle is expected to deliver the cleanest treasury growth window we have seen. Strategy Inc’s moves just emphasize how much capital will chase treasury narratives. We are positioning directly in that flow.

@alphacryptosign I hope you are shorting it then. More liquidity for the longs. Do you even know what a rejection is? When something acumulates near the resistance, it has a higher likelihood of continuing up. The people want 1K $ZEC.

I have a thesis on a $ZEC play. Highly speculative, but that zone carries a massive concentration of liquidation-flow potential. It’s a soft pair to move, and there is over 6B in forced-order flow clustered right above. https://t.co/o7Vv0GpltA

BTC has reclaimed its range and momentum is building. 121K–122K acting as support again, structure pointing to higher highs. Liquidity’s compressing before expansion — next breakout likely sends us into fresh ATH territory. Traders should be watching this level closely. When volatility returns, ecosystems like $MANYU and $MANYUP start catching flow. #Bitcoin #Crypto #MANYUPTOBER #BTC

How we measured this · download the raw data

We pull @IAMYellowCake's posts, use AI to extract each call (ticker, direction, conviction), and backtest it against real prices. A call wins only if it beat its own sector over the month after — not just if the stock rose. Headline numbers use deduplicated bets.
