The backtest
We ran the five-a-day method over Oct 7 – Nov 5, 2026 one day at a time. Each day it saw only what existed that day: sales up to that day and fair values up to that day — nothing researched afterwards. These picks were made by that run, not published live; the live record is kept separately.

Signals used: sales pace and sealed prices, recomputed for each day. Weights are the starting priors, and expected moves come only from catalysts that took effect before the window. No curated research, upcoming calendar or later outcome was an input. The movers lists are measured afterwards, to grade the run. The live record starts on Oct 29, 2026.
Forecast is research, not financial advice. Card prices can fall as easily as they rise; past picks do not promise future returns. Every price is Tradewind's fair value from real sales, never a listing.
