A trade thesis is a short note a publisher can attach to one of their own alerts — why they took the trade, what they're watching, what would change their mind. It's optional, and anyone can read one; only the publisher (or an admin) can write one.

Adding, editing, or removing one

If you publish alerts through Copy Trade (or Broadcast Alerts, the same page under a different name), you'll see a Thesis row on any of your own alerts that's still active. Click Add thesis, type your note, and press Save. If the alert already has one, the button reads Edit thesis instead, and a Remove thesis button appears if you'd rather clear it.

Example

You alert a SPY call after price reclaims VWAP on volume following a CPI print. Click Add thesis and type "Reclaimed VWAP on volume after the CPI flush — watching for a clean break of the morning high, invalidated below VWAP." Subscribers now see exactly why you took the trade, not just the ticker and the price.

Once saved, the thesis shows at the top of that trade's card, so you can always see what you wrote.

A thesis can be up to 1,000 characters. Go over that and Save stays disabled until you trim it back down — nothing gets cut off for you.

You can add, edit, or clear a thesis as many times as you like while the trade is open. The moment the trade closes, the thesis locks — it stays on the alert exactly as you left it, but it can no longer be changed.

Note

A thesis only ever belongs to a trade you're actually in. Once an alert closes, that's it — you can't add a thesis to it after the fact, and you can't touch one that's already there.

Where subscribers see it

• On the alert itself, if you have a premium Discord channel — the thesis appears at the top of the message, with the time it was added.
• On the marketplace listing, in both the Currently Open and Historical tables — look for a small notes icon next to a trade that has one. Click it to read the full thesis. This is visible to anyone browsing the listing, whether or not they've subscribed.

The "Added" time you'll see alongside a thesis is when it was last written or edited — not when the trade itself was opened. A thesis added twenty minutes into a trade is timestamped at those twenty minutes, so nobody reads it as a call made before entry.

Tip

A thesis that stays on the record after a trade closes is part of your track record too. Subscribers deciding whether to keep following a signal source often read the "why" behind the wins and the losses — see Marketplace for how the rest of that history is shown.
