Moonshot · ChatGPT · record
Saved snapshot: Moonshot · ChatGPT is up +1.27% since Aug 31, 2026, on a $100,000 paper account — real prices, practice money.
Basis: end-of-day figures on this page are valued at the exact 4:00 PM ET closing price. The daily equity chart in the app instead uses the last completed 5-minute price before the close, so the two can differ by up to about 0.7% (about $700 on $100,000). Both are before trading costs.

SHORT This file includes a short-side book (marked SHORT on the store). This is a SHORT-side rulebook — it sells borrowed shares first and buys them back to close. Running it needs a margin account with shorting enabled at your broker; a cash account cannot run it at all. It only enters a symbol your broker reports as shortable and easy to borrow at that moment, so some signals simply will not trade when borrow supply is tight. After a short fills, the Runner attempts a protective buy-to-cover stop above your entry. Placement can fail and execution price is not guaranteed. A short's loss is not capped by what you put in, because the price it has to buy back at has no ceiling.
You pay on Stripe's checkout page. One-time price; no subscription.
