I Built a $0.99 Market Brief That Grades Itself in Public
I went looking at what AI stock forecasting costs.
The big name is VantagePoint. Its own package page lists its forecasting software at $2,900, $5,900, and $10,900 — one-time licenses, with extra markets and extra tools sold on top of that. The headline claim is "up to 87.4% accuracy."
Here is my problem with that. Before I pay $2,900, I cannot scroll through the full call-by-call record behind the 87.4%. I am asked to trust the number first and check later.
So I built the opposite.
CrossTide Signals is my daily market-direction brief. Every trading morning it calls SPY, QQQ, AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, gold, oil, and Bitcoin up or down, and gives a probability for each call. Every call goes into a public log BEFORE the outcome is known. Afterward it gets graded, in public. The misses stay on the page next to the hits.
The record so far, stated exactly: 10 calls graded, 50.0% hit rate, Brier score 0.253, on calls issued November 6 through November 9, 2026. The service is on Day 2 of a 20-trading-day public warm-up.
50.0% is not a brag. It is a starting line that anyone can watch grow, day by day. That is the whole idea. No slogan to trust — the record IS the product.
And the price matches the size of it. CrossTide Pro is $0.99 a month. The annual plan is $490 a year, and Founding Lifetime is $499 one time. The brief itself is free to read, so you can check every graded call before you spend a cent.

One honest note: CrossTide is a brief, not software. It does not connect to a brokerage, and it is not financial advice. Trading and investing involve substantial risk of loss, and forecasts are probabilistic estimates that are frequently wrong. What it offers is simple: a small forecasting record you can audit yourself, at a price that does not ask you to take anything on faith.
