## What is CoatTail?

CoatTail is the smart-money tracker for people who want to know what insiders, politicians, fund managers, and crypto whales are doing — and helps you decide what's worth a closer look.

• Conviction Backtest — simulate a portfolio of high-Conviction picks vs SPY on-device

COPYCAT SIMULATOR — replay any entity's disclosed trades ($1,000 each) into an equity curve vs SPY. See their real win rate.

SIGNAL CALLS — practice reading the signals: log a 30-day call on any setup, build a track record, compare it to the Conviction Score's read. No real money.

CUSTOM ALERT RULES — build your own triggers ("3+ buyers on one ticker in 7 days", "score crosses 80", "insider buy over $1M") plus a full alert inbox so you never lose a notification.

WIDGETS EVERYWHERE — Lock Screen widgets, a StandBy widget, Control Center shortcut, and an interactive Home Screen widget with one-tap refresh.
