57 stocks & ETFs · 16 crypto · checked every daily close
Two trading rules that survived the test.
We tested 20 popular indicator signals on 2017–2026 data. They lost to random entries. Two rules didn't, so that's all Vantum sends.
Each signal is a full trade: an entry plan when the daily close confirms the setup, and an exit alert when it's time to get out. Every result is logged in public.
Example: one trade, two alerts
NVDA pulled back sharply inside an uptrend: RSI(2) 3.8, price $214.13 above its 200-day average ($202.97). Plan: buy at the next open, sell after the first close above the 5-day average (now $221.50), or after 10 trading days.
It closed above its 5-day average, so the bounce has played out. Exit at the next open.

Backtest 2017–2026 after estimated costs; rules were chosen on data up to 2022 and confirmed on 2023–2026 and on 54 tickers the research never used. Hypothetical results have inherent limitations. Full methodology and results →
Why only two
We tested our own signals, and they failed
Vantum started with 20 classic signals: RSI levels, MACD and moving-average crosses, Bollinger touches, candlestick patterns. Before asking anyone to pay for them, we ran them through 31,485 historical trades.
After costs they lost 0.08% per trade and did worse than buying and selling at random. So we threw them out and kept the only rules that held up on data they hadn't seen.
How a trade works
- 1The scanner checks every market after its daily close.
- 2A setup triggers: Pro members get the entry and the exit rule right away.
- 3When the exit rule fires, Pro gets an exit alert for the next open.
- 4The result goes into the public track record, win or lose.

Questions
What do the signals do?
Two rules. Pullback: buy a stock or coin that drops sharply (RSI(2) under 10) while it's above its 200-day average, and sell on the first close above its 5-day average or after 10 trading days. Breakout: in crypto, trade a close beyond the 20-day range with a 2 ATR stop, and exit on a close through the opposite 10-day range.
Why only two rules?
We tested 20 classic indicator signals on 2017–present data and they did worse than random entries after costs. These two were the only rules that beat random entries on data they were not chosen on, and on 54 tickers the research never used.
How many signals are there?
About 12 a week across 73 markets, but it's uneven: sell-offs produce several pullbacks at once, quiet weeks produce few. Each one comes with a plan and, later, an exit alert.
When do signals arrive?
Shortly after the daily close: crypto closes at 00:00 UTC, and US stocks are evaluated on the previous session's close before the next open. The plan is to act at the next open.
What's the difference between Free and Pro?
Free accounts see every signal 24 hours after it fires, on the website and the free Telegram channel. Pro ($19/month, 7-day free trial) gets each entry the moment it's confirmed and an alert when it's time to exit, by Telegram, email or webhook.
How good is the track record?
Every trade is logged at /accuracy with its entry, exit and result, including the losers. The backtest numbers there are hypothetical and include estimated costs; the live record starts with these rules.
Does it work with trading bots?
Yes. The JSON API and Pro webhooks send structured entries and exits, so a bot can follow the trade plan without parsing text.
Is this financial advice?
No. These are rule-based signals for education and research. Past performance, real or simulated, does not guarantee future results.
