Is any of this real money?
No. Every trade tinycorp.ai runs is paper-traded against the live order book — we read prices but never place orders. P&L is hypothetical.
Why a 14-day out-of-sample window?
To prevent curve-fitting. Strategies must prove themselves on data that didn't exist when you designed them. No backtests on the leaderboard, ever.
How are unlock prices set?
The creator picks any price from $5 to $25. We suggest based on Sharpe, sample size, and current demand, but the creator has final say.
Do I keep access to a strategy if the creator unpublishes it?
Yes. An unlock is forever — you keep the rules and the trade history. If the creator pushes a revision, you get that too at no additional cost.
Can I cancel Pro anytime?
Yes, instantly. Your strategies stay live on the free tier (the most recent live one) and your unlocked library remains permanently accessible.
Where does my $9 go?
Stripe processing, market-data infrastructure, paper-trading engine compute, the WX Lookup data pipeline, and keeping the lights on. We don't take a creator-share cut from your $9 — creators on the marketplace get 80% of unlock revenue separately.
