Quick answers

What is the Closelook Signal section?

The signal desk of the Closelook research diary: the live trade log across the five model portfolios, the analyst and earnings wires, the Directional Flow leading-indicator scan, the Tech Board, the Print Record and the Pattern Engine — eight tools, each on its own page.

Where is the live trade log?

At /signals/trades/ — every Add, Reduce, Roll and Exit across the five model portfolios with the reasoning in plain English. The latest free-tier entries are previewed on this page.

How often do the signal tools update?

The wires refresh multiple times per trading day; Directional Flow, the Tech Board and the Pattern Engine re-scan nightly after the US close; the Print Record adds one card per docket day in earnings season; the trade log records entries at end of day.

Is any of this investment advice?

No. Closelook publishes an investment research diary, not investment advice. The tools describe what our engines measure and what our own books did. Past performance may not be an indication of future performance.
