I sometimes alert via Twitter a day or two before I publish the article.
But actual performance is measured from the closing price as of the date article is published.
I'll update the YTD performance at flose today- it's much better than 49% now actually.
My business partner and I took some time off in February (travel, family time, etc.) and should have 2 picks out in March with HOTR being the 1st. Most of our subscribers are buy/hold types so we keep our picks down to 2 or so/month.
