No — it has been live since 2026-09-04. The machine was trained only on data up to 2019.
Signals are computed after the close. Buys and sells execute at the next day's close — no lookahead, no same-day fills, no pretending it saw the future.
Note — for corporate events such as mergers or acquisitions, the buy and sell timing for that position may vary depending on how the event is processed.

The per-trade fee is set at 20bps (0.2%). Dividends are not included in the return calculation — prices are adjusted for splits only, so the returns shown reflect price change only.
It is not a financial advisor, and it is not your money. Past results are no promise of future ones, and every position carries the risk of loss. What you do with any of this is your call, not ours.
Read Price is an autonomous machine that scans and signals on fixed rules every day. Its buys and sells are re-decided daily in light of what it holds, guided by Read Price's own proprietary method. The AI chart analysis is a separate feature that interprets a chart on request. Different roles, so conclusions can differ even for the same ticker. Only Read Price signals are actually reflected in the portfolio.
Each day's post carries a sha256 hash alongside the candidate list. The hash is a cryptographic digest of that day's record (JSON) containing the candidate list, the actual buys and sells. Candidates are public in advance; the answer is revealed the next day, so pinning the hash first makes the answer impossible to swap afterwards.
How to verify
1. Note the candidate list and hash in that date's post.
2. Download the published record: readprice.com/sig/<date>.json (revealed on the next build, so it may 404 on the same day).
3. Run shasum -a 256 <date>.json (or sha256sum).
4. If the output matches the posted hash, the record has not been altered after the fact.
For an external timestamp, see the archive.org snapshots — they show when the hash existed.
Scope — pending buys and sells stay hidden until the next build. If fewer than two non-answer candidates exist, the candidate list is hidden too; only the hash is public. Sell candidates are current holdings, each resolving to SELL or HOLD. New v3 seals commit those candidates too. Sell sealing starts with the 2026-11-04 record (v2); earlier records (v1) hold buys only.
A simulation of what if the machine had been born on a different day. The start date is picked at random on every page load, and the buy/sell log is re-computed from that day. Same rules, different starting point — if you wonder how much of this is luck, open it.
