Every read from the News Weighting Terminal — graded by the market itself.
Every read below was published to our Telegram feed at the moment shown — then left untouched. What the market did next is shown beside each one, including the reads it disagreed with. No cherry-picking. That's the point.
All times ET. Every card is graded the same way the app grades it: the price at the read, and the price at the 24-hour mark, or the last price before the close if the market is shut at that mark, and the card says so. A read with no real price at both ends is not graded at all. Verify any timestamp against the post in t.me/pulsevane. Updated 2026-10-26 09:10.
Reads appear here at least 24 hours after publication, once they can be graded — Pro members get them live.
Weekly distribution of the strong reads graded at the 24-hour mark, the same mark the app uses. Reads graded at a market's close instead appear as cards only and are not counted here. The newest month is still being graded and is not shown until it is settled. Judge for yourself.
Method corrected Sep 15, 2026, in two parts made together: every strong read now counts once (earlier versions left out reads the feed had already retired), and every read counted here is graded at the 24-hour mark. Both changes moved the numbers. The earlier files are kept, and the rule for these totals is fixed from here.
Same rule as above, applied to every month since the system went live. A closed month is settled once and left alone — with one exception, below, when we found the rule itself was wrong.

How to read this table. This is the most hostile metric we could publish about ourselves: every strong read, graded at one fixed horizon, pass/fail. It deliberately ignores what the product actually does — weigh a dozen stories against each other, track each one as it fades, and update the net read as the picture changes. A read that "went the other way" at the fixed mark often faded on our feed long before it did. We publish the table anyway, because a record you can't audit is a record you shouldn't trust — and no one selling certainty will ever show you theirs.
