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. Each card is measured across the engine's own position window — open at the read, closed when the engine closed — not on an arbitrary clock. Reads still working show what the price has done so far. Verify any timestamp against the post in t.me/pulsevane. Updated 2026-09-11 08:28.
This page runs on a 4-hour delay — Pro members get every read live.
Weekly distribution — the chart runs a deliberately different ruler from the cards above: every read graded on one blunt 4h clock (standardized Jul 2026; frozen months before that were graded on each market's measured clock). The cards are measured on the engine's own position window; the chart is not, on purpose — so neither method can flatter the other. Nothing filtered, nothing hidden. Judge for yourself.
Same rule as above, applied to every month since the system went live. Each month is frozen once it closes — never edited, never trimmed.
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.
