Every call can be checked.

Contra doesn’t offer opinions — it offers claims you can test. Every pattern it reads carries four things: a named trigger (what set it off), a clear way to be proven wrong, a strength rating (a nudge, a signal, or a strong signal), and a time horizon (does this play out over months or years). If a call can’t be wrong in a way you could check, it isn’t on the tape.

No single pattern gets the last word. Before Contra puts a verdict on a name, it weighs everything firing on it together — one bearish flag never overrides a strong bullish picture, and vice versa. And it keeps checking: a call you saved months ago gets flagged when the facts behind it have quietly changed.

When the tape has nothing readable on a name, Contra says so. A framework that knows when it has no view beats one that always has an opinion — so “no view” is a first-class answer, not a gap.

Education, not investment advice.
