changelog

What changed, including what we corrected and what we withdrew

A dated record of changes to the platform. Corrections and withdrawals are here on the same footing as new features: a figure corrected without saying so stops being trustworthy.

    Public status page, changelog and method results

    The state of each part of the service, past incidents and this log are now open to anyone. The methodology gains a page with what we measured and what did not work.

  • Withdrawn

    The 'trade plan' card in Active setups, switched off

    Measured out of sample and net of costs it showed no advantage; it is withdrawn until it is rebuilt on a measured expectancy.

  • Withdrawn

    Supply and demand zones report, withdrawn

    Compared with what happens on any day, its result did not hold; it no longer appears in Reports, the Ranking or the AI's answers.

  • Withdrawn

    Old day-type table, removed from the guide

    It classified the near-24-hour day instead of the regular session; the guide now uses the table measured on the regular session, with a dated correction note.

  • Corrected

    London → New York report, corrected

    The two windows shared hours, which inflated the agreement. London is now measured up to the open of the market's own session; the corrected figure sits close to that of any day.

  • Corrected

    Day-type report, measured on the market's own session

    The near-24-hour candle was being classified, which changed the split between types. Corrected in ten markets; the rest change with the next nightly update.

  • Corrected

    Active setup cards show the rate for their state and time of day

    They used to print the rate of all cases even when the card said 'active' or 'back inside'. The figure now matches what the card shows, with its sample and interval, and the overall rate sits beside it as the base.

  • Method

    Readings with no measured directional information, folded and without the words bullish or bearish

    Weekday bias, month, day of month and overnight direction move to a separate group that shows what was stated and what was observed. Context describes the size of the move, not its direction.

  • Method

    Hypothetical-results notice and data delay, always in view

    Every simulated figure carries the hypothetical-results notice beside it. The in-session reading is described as what it is: data delayed by up to 15 minutes, for reference only. The portal footer shows the session the data runs through.

  • New

    Profile big picture

    Profile across several timeframes, where the market stands in the auction and what followed in similar situations, measured against a control at the same distance. Navigation and the report catalogue are ordered by moment of the day.

  • New

    Market Profile guide: three new tables with their control

    Profile levels against any price at the same distance, the size of the range after a sequence of lows or highs, and whether the first half hour sets the day's extreme.

  • Corrected

    Profile reports: the day's range is taken from the session

    Several profile reports used the calendar day's high and low instead of the session's, which shifted their figures (for example, the Initial Balance's share of the day). They were recalculated with each market's own session.

  • Corrected

    Stop-entry simulators: fills respect the open

    Three simulators filled the order at the level even when the session opened beyond it, which cannot happen in practice. Corrected: the favourable result they showed came from that defect.

  • Corrected

    Active setups reads each market's own session

    In metals, energy, bonds and currencies the page detected the gap and opening ranges on the index timetable, different from the one behind the printed figure. Detection and figure now use the same session.

  • Corrected

    COT positioning indexes calculated over three real years

    The 0-100 index was calculated from the current year's reports only, not the three years the page stated. It now uses the full three years of weekly reports.

  • Method

    The base rate beside every conditional figure

    Weekday tables open with the 'All days' row and mark the cells that cannot be told apart from it. In directional reports the all-days rate leads; the weekday breakdown stays for range and structure reports.

  • Method

    One sample rule and a selectable period in reports

    Every rate carries its sample and 95% interval; with very few cases the figure is not shown and with few it is marked as a small sample. A badge says whether the rate was stable between two stretches of history, and the report can be recalculated for a period.

  • Method

    Change-of-behaviour note on the currency and bitcoin gap

    In those markets gap fill behaves differently in recent years than in earlier ones. The gap reports say so in their first note instead of blending the two stretches without warning; the cause is not established.

  • New

    COT positioning for 30 markets, with what happened afterwards

    Positioning index per group for the 30 futures, net-position chart and the outcome of past extreme readings compared with random entries.

  • New

    Key levels for the day, macro regimes and session reports for 19 more futures

    Next session's levels with how often the market has travelled that far, macro regimes with what followed in each future, and session reports for metals, energy, grains, currencies and crypto on their own timetable.

  • New

    Journal with replay for 29 futures, reordered portal and a guide to rolling contracts

    The Journal replays each trade over the day's candles and receives trades through a link unique to each user. The portal comes down to fifteen destinations in the order of a trader's day, and there is a new guide on when to roll contracts.

  • Corrected

    Retail sales dates, corrected

    For ten of the years the calendar picked the annual revision instead of the monthly report. The dates were corrected and, with them, the retail sales row of the table in the macro data days guide, which carries its correction note.

  • Corrected

    The nightly update now includes the session data that had fallen behind

    Four pages stayed on 5 October data from the 5th to the 9th. Their files are now rebuilt every night and the download retries on its own after temporary errors. The details are in the incident log on the status page.

  • Corrected

    Calendar: what a user pastes is saved for that user only

    Pasting events into the calendar replaced the shared events file that the daily briefing also reads. Each user now has their own.

  • Method

    95% interval drawn on the bars and backtests net of costs by default

    Report rate bars draw their interval and flag small samples. The backtest lab shows results after commission and slippage, with the gross figure beside them and a chronological out-of-sample split.

  • New

    When does it happen?, expected range for the day and carry between contracts

    The time of day at which the gap fill and the Initial Balance break usually happen, and how likely they remain if they have not happened by a given time; today's expected range with its out-of-sample calibration; and the premium or discount of the next contract.

  • New

    Journal: trade import and each trade's excursion; volume profile

    The Journal imports files from the most used execution platforms, measures how far each trade went for and against, and adds risk rules with a compliance score. Market Profile adds the volume profile and a period-by-period replay of the session.

  • New

    New seasonality, with honesty checks

    Seasonal patterns for 29 futures adjusted at contract rolls. Each pattern is compared with every window of the same length, split into an older and a recent half, adjusted for the number of stretches looked at, and shown net of costs.

  • New

    Letter Market Profile, pace of the roll and reaction to macro data

    Letter profiles for 29 futures, how much volume has already moved to the next contract compared with earlier rolls, and how the indexes moved after each macro release.

  • New

    New guides: bots on funded accounts, yesterday's range measured from the level, and the overnight range

    Which funding firms allow automation, with the rules read on their official pages and the unconfirmed ones marked as such; and two guides with their dated table, their sample and what the figure does not say.

  • Method

    Guide tables are pinned to the date they were published

    Each guide is a dated study: its tables no longer change when the data is updated, so text and figures never contradict each other. Nine tables went back to the snapshot their text was written against. A table is only changed together with its text and with a correction note.

  • Method

    One figure per question

    The day's colour (up or down) is measured against its own open on every page; before, two screens could answer the same question differently.

  • New

    Automatic nightly data update

    Each session's data is added automatically in the early hours of the next day and every report is recalculated. If an essential step fails nothing half-built is published: the platform keeps the previous day's data.

Statistical figures are not repeated here: they live in the dated tables of the guides and on the method results page.
