How NOBASL works
The rules
- Where the signals come from. NOBASL uses 6 scanner strategies, each with two entry options. Every trading day after the US close, the strategies scan weekly charts of US-listed stocks (NYSE, Nasdaq, NYSE American), US-listed warrants and the larger cryptocurrencies. Each strategy is a fixed set of chart conditions; nobody picks or filters the results by hand.
- What a signal becomes. Each signal becomes one limit buy order at the low of the signal week (scanner IDs 2, 4, 9, 10, 17 and 18), and one more order 10% below that low (IDs 102, 104, 109, 110, 117 and 118). These are 12 scanner IDs for six strategies. An order works for 60 days; an unfilled order is then cancelled.
- Position size and slots. Each model order uses $125. At most four orders per ticker and per scanner are open or filled at the same time; a fifth signal is cancelled at once. Equal model entry sizes do not eliminate concentration, liquidity or market risk.
- How a stock or crypto trade ends. The target is a double (+100%). If the price first falls 35% below the buy price, the trade is set to breakeven and sold when the price comes back to the buy price. A position that reaches neither is sold 150 days after the fill.
- How a warrant trade ends. The target is a quadruple (+300%). From 120 days before the warrant's expiry the trade is set to breakeven and sold when the price touches the buy price again; 60 days before expiry it is sold at the market; an expired warrant is a total loss.
- Splits and delistings. A position in a stock with a split is sold on the last close before the split. A stock that stops trading is sold at its last price, or written off when there is none. Every such case is named in the track record with its reason.
- How results are calculated. The track record calculates outcomes from recorded signals and market prices using a $125 model position per order, before fees and slippage. Open positions are marked at the last close. These figures are not verified brokerage returns and actual execution may differ. The same trades are also run through the index funds (buy the fund on the fill date, sell on the exit date), so every scanner is compared with the market over exactly the same days.
Frequently asked questions
What is NOBASL?
NOBASL publishes daily long-only trading signals for US-listed stocks, warrants and crypto, produced by algorithmic scanners on weekly charts. The public model track record shows recorded orders and outcomes for selected strategies, including wins and losses; its trade lists exclude cancelled unfilled orders.
When are the signals published?
Signals are updated daily after the previous US trading day has been processed, normally before the next US session. Publication can be delayed; a signal timestamp is not a guarantee of simultaneous delivery or execution.
What does a signal contain?
The ticker, the scanner, the buy limit price, the target and the status of the order (open, filled, sold, cancelled) with the reason. Subscribers see the same orders the book follows.
Does the track record show actual account returns?
The operator trades for its own account, but the published track record calculates signal outcomes using market prices and $125 model positions. It is not a verified brokerage statement or a customer return. Fees and slippage are excluded, actual fills may differ, and historical data may be corrected.
What does "10% lower" mean?
Every signal exists twice: as a limit order at the low of the signal week, and as a second order 10% below it. The lower entry fills less often but at a better price. Both are separate lines in the track record (scanners 102 to 118).
How big is a position?
$125 per order in the published book, with at most four orders per ticker and scanner. In your own account you choose your own size per asset class or per scanner.
Are the signals personalised?
No. NOBASL publishes general signals and research, without assessing your finances, objectives or risk tolerance. It does not manage customer portfolios or execute customer trades. The operator trades for its own account and has financial interests in the instruments discussed. Trading involves risk of loss, including your entire investment.
