From signup to reading the book.

EVA docs · September 2026

The beta is a reading seat, not a brokerage account: you see Eva's market read as it updates, the ideas as they publish, the books as they evolve, and the case studies as trades close. This guide covers what you get and how to read it.

1. Join the beta

Request access on the beta page with your email. Places open in small batches while the record is young; we onboard in order. No capital is requested or accepted through this site, and the beta never asks for exchange keys or wallet access.

2. What arrives once you're in

  • The market read. Eva's stance on BTC and ETH across three timeframes, the four-year cycle phase and thesis, and the live macro posture — the same artifacts every book is built on. A preview sits on the intelligence page.
  • Idea cards, live. Every published idea, at publication time — before the outcome is known.
  • The books. The live sleeve, the paper books, the daily NAV marks, and the experiment lane, each labeled as what it is.
  • Case studies. The system's annotated close chart on every fully closed live trade, winner or loser.

3. How to read an idea card

Every card carries the same fields. Nothing is published without all of them.

FieldWhat it means
Direction & marketLong or short, and the product (for example ETH-USD). Cards state whether the order is resting at a level or going on at market — a resting order may never fill, and the card says so.
EntryThe price the system wants, usually a pullback into a structure level rather than a chase.
StopThe invalidation level, set beyond real structure. If price trades here, the idea was wrong and the position exits. This is written down before entry and never widened.
Targets (TP1–TP3)Staged exits. Part of the position banks at each level, and the stop trails behind paid targets — a half-worked idea tends to end flat-to-green.
ThesisThe written read: which structures, sweeps or zones justify the trade. Every cited level has been re-checked against the raw data before publication.

4. Why the read updates more often than the cards

Eva forms a view every 30 minutes and publishes a card far less often — 97.3% of cycles end with no trade, either because the read found nothing worth risking or because validation rejected the proposal. That gap is the point: the stance grid and the cycle phase keep moving whether or not there is anything to trade, so a quiet week still tells you what the system thinks. If the card stream feels slow, check the read — it is rarely idle at the same time.

5. How to judge the record

  • Count the sample before the percentage. A 57% win rate on seven trades is a coin still in the air. We print the n next to every figure so you never have to ask.
  • Paper is paper. Simulated fills flatter reality — no slippage, no missed fills. Paper books are for studying the reads at volume, not for projecting returns.
  • Watch the losers. The most informative cards are the stop-outs: they show whether risk was actually bounded where the card said it would be. Ours are published unedited, like this one.

6. What the beta is not

Not investment advice, not a managed account, and not a signal service promising outcomes. It is a working system publishing its whole record — the read, the ideas and the results — while the edge is still being established. Early by design, and honest about it.
