Publish first. Measure second.
No simulated trade enters the official record after the favorable price move has already happened.
MARKET ATLAS + FINANCE DESK
Hypothetical money. Real timestamps. Every position is published before the result is known, then measured against the market instead of remembered selectively afterward.
Simulation starts with $100,000. Performance begins prospectively with the first published trade. We do not backfill a greatest-hits album and call it a track record.
OPEN POSITIONS
Each position must point back to a published thesis and state what evidence would invalidate it.

CLOSED LEDGER
Closed positions remain in the public record with entry, exit, return, and the reason the position was closed.

RULES OF THE GAME
No simulated trade enters the official record after the favorable price move has already happened.
Entries, exits, thesis changes, and corrections live in version history. Silent retroactive editing is prohibited.
The portfolio is compared with SPY from the first official trade so a rising market cannot masquerade as analytical genius.
A 200% winner in a microscopic allocation does not erase a concentrated loser. Portfolio contribution is measured in dollars and percentage points.
Before entry, state what evidence would weaken or kill the thesis. Otherwise every failure can be rewritten into a long-term vision quest.
Closed losers, abandoned theses, dilution, opportunity cost, and bad timing remain part of the public performance record.
