// HOW TO READ THE CARD

An honest bar, not a prediction

Each row of the card is one statistic about sessions like today's. Here's exactly what the pieces mean.

THE CI BAND

Each bar is a 95% confidence interval (Wilson), not a prediction. The shaded band is the honest uncertainty around the historical rate. Wide band = small sample, less certainty.

THE POINT TICK

The bright tick inside the band is the historical rate itself — how often this outcome occurred across all matched sessions.

THE 50% LINE

The thin center line is 50% — a coin flip. If the whole band sits to one side of it, history leans that way. If the band straddles it, history is telling you it doesn't know.

RECENT-250 DIVERGENCE

"Recent" compares the last 250 sessions against full history. When they disagree, the row turns amber and the card says so. We flag when our own stats look unstable — that's the point.

MATCHED-SESSION COUNTS

The header shows how many past sessions matched today's condition. Small samples get wide bars or get dropped entirely — if we can't say something honest, we say nothing.

WHAT THIS IS NOT

No trade signals. No entries, exits, or targets. No DMs, ever — anyone DMing you from a similar handle is a scammer. Historical statistics, not advice.

// THE LAB

Sealed before tested. Published either way.

Occasionally we test a trading hypothesis properly: pre-registered, then evaluated out-of-sample. The registration is hashed and posted before testing. Failed hypotheses get published in full. Survivors get a topline only. Most ideas fail; you'll see those too.

01 / REGISTER

The full test plan — hypothesis, data range, gates — is frozen as a document before any test runs.

02 / SEAL

The document's SHA-256 hash is posted publicly. The post's timestamp is the seal date. The document itself stays sealed.

03 / TEST

The hypothesis is evaluated out-of-sample, against the pre-registered gates. No moving the goalposts — any edit to the document breaks the hash.

04 / PUBLISH

The verdict and the sealed document are published — pass or fail. Verify yourself: sha256sum the document and compare.

SEAL DATEIDSHA-256STATUSLINKS
No public seals yet. The first pre-registration will appear here the day its hash is posted — and its verdict will follow, pass or fail. We don't fake entries, which is rather the point of the whole mechanism.
