The Wagner Daily vs the Trade Desk: two published records, side by side
Both publish their losers, which is rarer than it should be. The Trade Desk has 133 closed trades since 14 Nov 2025, 71 of them losers, every one published with its entry, stop and exit: +46.2R in total, profit factor 1.70. The Wagner Daily (Morpheus Trading) says it has published every call since 2002 and sends 3 to 4 stock and ETF alerts a week. The real differences are the unit each record is kept in, the markets covered and the price.
The record first
Every closed Trade Desk trade is on the public record: the asset, the direction, the entry, the stop and the target as they were published before the trade triggered, then the exit, the dates and the result in R. The worst single loss is −1.03R, and the losing trades sit in the same table as the winners; every loss, published walks through them one by one. The win rate is 44%, and the record still finished positive because the average winner is about twice the size of the average loser.
What the Wagner Daily sends
The Wagner Daily alerts page (checked 20 Oct 2026) describes 3 to 4 new swing alerts a week on average, sent during market hours as each setup triggers, with fewer in bear markets. Each alert carries an entry price, a stop-loss level and a size call (full, half or quarter), with a profit target or a trailing stop. Members also get a live chatroom, a market timing model, a model portfolio and a watchlist updated every Sunday evening.
Its home page describes rule-based swing trading in stocks and ETFs, holding days to weeks, and says over 3,100 calls have been published since 2002, winners and losers. It shows each closed position as the price move from entry to exit, with size as a percent of a $100,000 model portfolio. A free Telegram channel carries the same alerts on a four-day delay.
What the Trade Desk sends
The plan goes up on Sunday before the open: swing setups in large-cap stocks, forex and metals levels, crypto, a short squeeze screen and a 200-week buy-zone scanner, each setup with its entry, stop and target. The levels are watched every 10 minutes through the week and an alert goes out by push and email when one triggers. The paid Substack letters explain the reasoning three times a week.

Which record tells you more
The Wagner Daily’s history is far longer, and that counts for a lot. What a percent move on a model portfolio does not show directly is how big each loss was against the risk that was planned for it. The Desk’s record answers that one question on every row: a loser stopped where it was meant to is close to −1R, and anything worse shows up. Whichever you pick, take one losing trade from last month and check that the stop you would have seen before the entry is the one the loss was graded against.
