The Story
Dynatrace crossed into an OPPORTUNITY signal on 2025-02-07 at $59.83, an enterprise software name with the kind of quality and trend profile our system rewards. It did not work out. By early 2026 the stock was down about 36%, while SPY rose roughly 16% over the same window. This is a real dollar loss, not just underperformance: a $100 position would have been worth around $64. Software valuations compressed and growth expectations reset, and a point-in-time signal cannot see that coming. One caveat applies to every entry we publish: backtests do not include sentiment scoring. In live daily screening, AI news analysis adds 0 to 10 points based on recent coverage. Sentiment can change which signals fire, but it does not change how the stock performed.
Signal Log: All 1 Days
Every day DT passed our 5-stage pipeline, with the signal level and score breakdown. How scoring works →
Returns measured from entry price to 2026-02-01. Split-adjusted OHLCV. Score breakdown: Q=quality (0–60), E=entry (0–20), S=sentiment (0–10), B=sector bonus (0–10). Sentiment scores show as 0 because backtests use historical data, AI news sentiment analysis is only available in our live daily screening. In live mode, positive news coverage typically adds 5–10 points. Past performance does not indicate future results.
What If You Invested $10,000 at the First Signal?
Hypothetical buy-and-hold from first signal date to 2026-02-01. Not investment advice.
What This Teaches
Not every signal works, and we show the ones that lost money outright. Dynatrace had the profile, the system flagged it, and the position lost about a third of its value while the market rose. This is the cost side of a strategy that wins far more often than it loses. It is also why position sizing and diversification matter. A single losing signal absorbed across dozens of others is survivable; concentrating into any one of them is not how the system is meant to be used.
