Questions readers actually ask
What is the MCAFax Top Trades list?
A daily pre-market tally of public stock calls from investors we track on X. It ranks the top options moves and day-trade ideas by a weighted vote.
How are callers weighted?
By their record on the matching scoreboard: Options for options moves, Day Trading for day trades. Positive and building callers vote with weight 0.50 x 10/(n+10) + clip(2 x hit rate, 0.25, 1.75) x n/(n+10), x1.10 if ranked. Callers with a negative record (15+ scored calls, shrunk win rate 50% or lower) cannot put a trade on the list; they add 0.15 each when they agree with a positive caller, 0.50 at most, and subtract nothing when they disagree.
What counts as a win?
For day trades and options, a call wins if the stock moved in the called direction by the close or within 5 trading days, or by the stated option expiry. Our Long-Term scoreboard keeps the 180-day beat-the-S&P 500 rule.
Why are there fewer than 10 trades on a list?
We only list calls that were actually posted in the window. If fewer than 10 qualify, we show fewer instead of making trades up.
How do you tell an options move from a day trade?
A call is an options move if the post names calls, puts or a spread. We record the strike and expiry only when stated. Other long or short calls on US-listed stocks go in the day-trader list.
What window does the list cover?
Calls posted in the 48 hours before the 9:30 a.m. ET open on the publish date.
Is this investment advice?
No. This page tallies public calls by other people and reports their track records. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
Where can I see each caller's full record?
On the three MCAFax Market Calls ranking pages: Day Trading, Options and Long-Term. Each links to the original posts.

Who is actually right on Wall Street: investors ranked on how their public stock calls turned out, and a paper portfolio that trades the best of them against the S&P 500. Not investment advice.
