Public record
How BlackOut grades every setup — and the aggregate numbers behind the homepage claims.
Most trading services show you the wins and quietly forget the rest. BlackOut does the opposite: every setup is logged, graded, and timestamped — winners and losers alike. This page is the receipts desk: how we grade outcomes, what each product measures, and the live aggregate numbers you can verify before you subscribe.
The headline rule: three products, three grading systems, never blended. SPX Slayer, Night Hawk, and 0DTE Command each publish their own win/loss ledger with an explicit methodology. Mixing them into one "overall win rate" would be dishonest — we don't do it anywhere on the site.
SPX Slayer grades closed SPX plays from the play ledger — every opened signal, no cherry-picking. Outcomes are measured in index points against the published entry, stop, and target structure. Cold-buy and watch→promote paths are tracked separately so you can see how each entry style performs.
Scratch/breakeven rows count in the denominator but not as wins or losses. Adaptive gating may tighten or loosen the desk's selectivity based on recent ledger performance — when active, the summary line on the card below reflects it.

Win rate
Night Hawk grades published edition plays against their printed target and stop levels. Returns reflect next-session underlying stock movement from the entry-range midpoint — not option-premium P&L. Actual option results depend on strike, expiry, and implied volatility at entry.
Plays that never traded back into the entry band (unfilled), were invalidated pre-open (pulled), or were graded under a superseded rule set are excluded from the headline record — they stay on the row for calibration but do not pad the win rate. Ratio stats (win rate, profit factor) only render once the decided sample reaches 30 plays.

Win rate
0DTE Command grades every committed scanner setup on the option's own premium. The headline number is the as-managed exit — the ratchet, thesis-break, flat-timeout, or plan stop/target the member was live-guided to take. A fixed mechanical plan grade (-50% / +100% / 15:50 ET) rides beside it as a labeled comparison, never blended in.
These are option-premium returns — not SPX point results and not Night Hawk stock-move percentages.
0DTE Command results are AS-MANAGED grades: the exit the member was live-guided to take (profit-ratchet, thesis-break, flat-timeout, or the printed plan's stop/target), on the option's own premium, from the scanner ledger (every committed setup, no cherry-picking). A win is positive realized P&L. The fixed -50%/+100%/15:50-ET plan grade is reported beside it as a labeled hold-to-stop/target comparison, never blended in. These are option-premium returns — not SPX Slayer point results and not Night Hawk stock-move returns; the three methodologies are never blended.
SPX Slayer results are graded from the closed play ledger (every opened play, no cherry-picking). Night Hawk results are resolved target/stop outcomes from published editions. Night Hawk returns reflect next-day underlying stock price movement from the published entry range midpoint — not option-premium returns. Actual option P&L will differ based on strike selection, expiry, and implied volatility at entry. 0DTE Command results are plan-outcome grades on the printed contract plan (stop -50% / trim +100% / hard exit 15:50 ET) against the option's own premium, from the scanner ledger (every committed setup). The three methodologies measure different things and are never blended into one win rate. Scratch/breakeven counts appear in the embed and desk panels where applicable.
