Week 1 of paper-testing Square signals: 13 closed, 5 wins, −11.84 USDT on 130 USDT of paper margin.
The rules: 10 USDT paper margin per signal at the caller's leverage (10x if none given), real Binance 1h candles, fees included, exit at TP1 or the stop.
The split that matters:
• picked BEFORE the result (my clean score): 9 closed, 3 wins, −17.59 USDT
• picked AFTER I'd seen the result: 4 closed, 2 wins, +5.75 USDT
Signals look far better when you choose them after the fact. That's what most recap posts do.
My "makes sense" screen (stop before liquidation, reward at least 1.5x the risk): PASS 4 closed, +6.17. FAIL 9 closed, −18.01. Looks great, until you notice 3 of the 4 PASS trades were hindsight picks. In the clean set only one passed, and it lost.
After week 1: no gold nuggets. My bar is 20 clean PASS signals before any verdict.
Which signal account should I add to the test next week? 👇
