Citable statistics from Fin45's AI trading experiment. All data is forward-tested on live markets — not backtested.
The following statistics are derived from Fin45's Sentinel signal system processing live market data across 618+ sources. Unlike most trading research, these numbers are forward-tested — signals were generated in real time and price outcomes were measured after the fact. No hindsight bias.

Signals confirmed by 3+ independent sources (e.g., insider buying + dark pool accumulation + positive earnings NLP) show win rates 15-25 percentage points higher than single-source signals. This is the core thesis of the Sentinel system: any single data source is noisy, but independent confirmation creates reliable signals.
When 3+ corporate insiders purchase open-market shares within a 30-day window, the stock outperforms over the following 7-30 days at rates significantly above random. Single insider buys are noisy; clusters represent coordinated conviction from people with the deepest knowledge of the business.
Fin45's deception scoring system analyzes live earnings call audio, not just transcripts. Vocal cues (hesitation, pitch changes, stress patterns) contain information that text analysis misses entirely. Academic research (Hobson et al., 2012) found vocal cues predict SEC investigations even when transcript sentiment appears normal.
Not all congressional stock trades are equal. Trades where the member sits on a committee regulating the stock's industry (e.g., Armed Services member buying defense stocks) show different performance patterns than trades in unrelated industries. The informational advantage is structural — these members set policy and attend classified briefings in the relevant sector.
Extreme retail bullishness (social media, YouTube) on a stock is a negative forward predictor. Extreme bearishness, when contradicted by insider buying, marks potential bottoms. The crowd is most useful as a signal source when it's most extreme — and when you bet against it.
