Trading Lab — Live Reward:Risk, After Real Costs

Reward:risk now recalculates live from the current price and subtracts real trading costs, plus a new timeframe filter.

Sep 7, 2026
Alpha Factory updates can mention product signals, indicators, or portfolio workflows. They are educational product context, not financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any asset.

Trading Lab got a reliability pass this week.

The reward:risk number next to every setup — and inside Score a coin — now recalculates live from the current price instead of staying frozen at the original signal. It also subtracts assumed trading costs (0.22% per leg), so what you see is what's realistically left to gain from here, not the number the setup started with.

Also new:

  • Filter the setup list by timeframe (15m / 1h / 4h) instead of scrolling everything
  • A count of how many setups currently have levels in range
  • A warning banner if the grading queue falls behind, instead of silently stale stats
  • Setup direction now reads "Spot long" or "Short study" for clarity, and status labels are stricter about what's confirmed versus still just research

We also fixed grading and paper-execution bugs in how outcomes were recorded. The paper track record now excludes results computed under the old, buggy rules — the numbers you see are the corrected ones.

Find it at Trading Lab — the timeframe filter sits above the setup list.
