Every number here has a shadow.
We grade our levels, our bands and our alerts every night — and every rate is printed beside what a random level of the same distance did. Anyone can publish a percentage. The control column is the part that costs something.
Yesterday cannot be rewritten.
Each morning's levels are hashed at 9:12 ET, and each day's seal contains the previous day's — a chain. Edit one historical level and every seal after it breaks. These are the real, current seals:
Why this matters: we measured that the industry's favorite level "walks to price" intraday — evening charts show price at the level 55% more often than the morning's actually did. So ask any levels service for their morning level. Ours is math; it can't move.
The test that kills most level claims: compare every touch against a random strike the same distance from price. What survives it, we show. What doesn't, we say so below.
| the claim | measured | the control | sample |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Lid holdsheaviest level overhead — price stays under it | 84.8% | 75.5%random level, same distance · +9.3 pts (next session), +11.3 (two) | 70,562 boards · 5 years |
| The gate blocks the patha low-gamma pocket between price and a near target — the target rarely trades | 9.2% | 22.1%reach with no gate, target 1–1.5% out · far targets (3.5–4%): sign flip in the path 5.6% vs 8.8% | 459,322 day-symbol rows |
| The board's edges fadetouch the extreme node, fade it | 56–60% | ≈50%midpoint of the same board — coin flip | both sample halves |
| All three index books negative → range expandsthe day-type read on the strip | 75% | 35%every other configuration | matched on prior range |
A band that claims 80% and delivers 80.3% is calibrated. One that delivers 95% is padded; one at 60% is broken. The claim is its own control — walk-forward, per symbol, refused where history is thin.
Entries are stamped from the real trade nearest the post — not the day's convenient print. The board grades the same population Discord received. Peaks are the move that was there, not a result: entry, size and exits are yours.
The moat is the disproof. Each claim below is sold as a feature somewhere in this market today — and each one died against its control in our data. That's why you won't find them here.
