Research limits & results

What it does

CryptoBuddy organises market observations into educational research. Reports, scores, zones and AI chat are not personal investment advice and not instructions to trade. Crypto assets are high risk; you could lose all the money you put in.

Results shown on the website are selected top-rated published picks, each coin counted once. The call price is the card price for Gems, or the lowest price reached at a level the report named (buy zone, strong-buy zone or support) before invalidation; Spot Buys and Trades count only once price reaches a named level (NOT FILLED otherwise). The peak is the highest price after the call within the call's lifetime window (until it expires or is invalidated), from stored hourly prices. Invalidated and lost calls are recorded as such and never counted as a peak. They are not a representative success rate, a typical outcome or a realised return.

How it works

1. Check the publication time, the asset identity, the original setup state and the observation time on any result.
2. Generation-price and reached-buy-zone tracking use different entry assumptions; never combine them into one return.
3. Fees, slippage, funding, liquidity and incomplete observations change what could actually have been achieved.
4. Every report is tracked against what the market then does. While a record is young it reads “tracking live” rather than a made-up figure.
5. Suggested Trades: Win = reached the first target before the stop. Loss = stop first. A target and stop inside the same finest price candle (re-read down to 1-minute candles where available) is ambiguous and never a win.
6. Spot Buys: Win = reached the first trim within 45 days before any daily close below the structure stop (invalidation); intraday wicks ignored. Loss = a daily close below the structure stop (invalidation). Neither by day 45: judged by the day-45 return.
7. Gems: Win = reached the first trim within 90 days before two daily closes in a row below invalidation. Loss = two consecutive daily closes below invalidation. Neither by day 90: judged by the day-90 return.
8. Micro Gems: Win = reached the first trim at any point within 90 days, whatever happened before it. Otherwise judged by the day-90 return.
9. Spot Buys, Gems and Micro Gems stay “tracking” until one of these rules fires or the window ends, and every result shows the biggest drop from the publication price along the way.

Why it helps

• Clear limits make the research more useful, not less: you know exactly what each number claims.

What you’ll see

Tracking live

A record that is still too young for a meaningful figure.

Ambiguous

A trade whose target and stop fall inside the same price candle, even re-read down to 1-minute candles, so the order cannot be known. Never counted as a win.

Biggest drop along the way

The lowest price after publication versus the publication price, shown beside every Spot Buy, Gem and Micro Gem result so a lenient rule never hides the pain.
