A record of beginnings, not advice.
See the whole record →Every coin Aureus tracks has a record like this, and every line carries the source it came from.
How every coin began
The block, the date, the first transaction, and who the project says made it — each line marked with where it came from and when Aureus last checked.
See the records →An explanation of the facts
Aureus can write a short, plain-English explanation of what a coin's record actually means — from the facts on the page and nothing else. It never says whether a coin is worth owning.
How explanations work →Practice trades, with your reason
Trade at real market prices with practice money, and write down why before the order goes in. The journal keeps the reason next to what happened.
