FAQ
What is Final Trades Today?
Final Trades Today is an unofficial scoreboard of the final trades from CNBC's Fast Money. It records who picked what on each episode and marks those picks from the air-date close. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to CNBC.
How is the entry price set?
The entry is the regular-session close on the US air date, because the show airs after the bell. If that date was a market holiday, the entry is the prior session within five days.
What do 1D, 1W, 1M, and 3M mean?
One day, one week, and three months use the first close on or after the entry plus that amount of calendar time. The one-month window starts on the air date itself: from the air-date close to the first close on or after the air date plus one month.
How are shorts scored?
Short and bearish calls win when the price falls. The return on a card is that direction-adjusted result, so a long that rises and a short that falls both show a gain.
Do you know when a trader exits?
No. The show does not publish an exit. The checkpoints are calendar marks from the entry close, not a closed trade. A pick can be ahead or behind by the time the trader is actually out.
Why does a new pick have no chart?
A chart needs a later close. On the air date, before that next session exists, the card shows the entry price and a NEW mark. The path appears after the next close is in.
Is this investment advice?
No. Prices are regular-session closes from public market data and can be missing or revised. Nothing on the site is a recommendation to buy or sell.
When does the scoreboard update?
Episodes are added after Fast Money airs. Closes are scored after the US cash close. A weekday price refresh runs at 22:30 UTC, after the bell in New York. During the session, a newer quote can move the latest point on a card.
