Frequently asked questions

How the alerts work, how the numbers are counted, and what you get for the membership — including the parts most alert services leave out.

What is a stock alert service?

A stock alert service posts trade ideas in real time — the ticker, the price you would enter at, and the price targets to watch. ClassifiedTrades calls small-cap and momentum setups live in a members-only Discord room, so members see the entry and targets before the move rather than reading about it afterwards. Alerts are educational: you decide whether to take any of them.

What does entry, target and never-triggered mean on an alert?

The entry is the price the setup becomes valid at — usually a breakout level above where the stock is trading when the call goes out. Targets are the levels to watch on the way up. If price never reaches the entry, the call never triggered: there was no trade, because you were never filled. We report those separately instead of counting them as wins or losses, which is why our published hit rate is measured only over trades that actually filled.

How is the ClassifiedTrades hit rate calculated?

A call counts as a trade only once price reaches the called entry. Of those filled trades, a 'hit' is one that reached at least one called target. The hit rate is hits divided by filled trades. Calls that never triggered are excluded from that calculation and published separately in the weekly recaps, because you were never in them. Alerts that have not been scored yet are left out until they are.

Are the results verified or self-reported?

Every alert is timestamped when it is posted and scored afterwards against real market data from the fill onward, not from the best price of the day. The weekly recaps on this site are generated straight from that alert log, including the flat weeks and the calls that never triggered. Nothing is hand-picked.

What does membership cost and what do I get?

Membership is $499.95 per month and includes the live alert room, entries and targets on every call, the market-scanner stream, members chat and one-to-one Q&A. Access is granted after payment and you can cancel any time.

How do I join the Discord room after paying?

After checkout you land on an access page with the Discord invite. Join the server, then open a support ticket and send the email address you paid with so your membership can be matched and the members-only channels unlocked. Use a ticket rather than a public channel so your email stays private.

What kind of stocks does ClassifiedTrades alert on?

Small-cap and momentum names — stocks moving on volume, news or a technical breakout, usually intraday. It is an active style: alerts are time-sensitive and the entry matters more than the ticker. It is not long-term investing and it is not suited to someone who cannot watch the market during the session.

Is this financial advice?

No. Everything posted is educational and informational only. Nothing on this site or in the members room is a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Trading is risky, most traders lose money, and past results are not typical or indicative of future results. Always do your own research and never risk money you cannot afford to lose.

Can I see results before joining?

Yes. The weekly recaps on this site show every week's calls, how many were entered, how many hit a target and how many never triggered. Individual alert cards with the entry, targets and chart are published on the homepage, and calls are posted publicly on StockTwits and X as they happen.

How do I cancel?

Membership is billed monthly through PayPal and can be cancelled at any time from your PayPal account under automatic payments, or by contacting support. Cancelling stops future billing; access runs to the end of the paid period.
