Today's read
Waiting for first data pull…
This line is composed automatically from the tape and the signal feed: biggest price move, plus the top critical headline. It is a summary of fetched facts, not a prediction.
Price tape
Sparklines show the last month of daily closes. The pill spread is calculated locally from the two tape prices — Brent minus WTI is the market's read on Atlantic vs US crude balance.
Signals
Background items
Priority is keyword-rule based (see config.yml), so you always know why something is red. Blue chips under a headline are the markets that kind of event usually hits — a starting checklist, not a conclusion.
Catalystsconfig.yml
Maintained by hand on purpose — knowing what's scheduled is a discipline, not a feed.
Positioning — CFTC COT
Weekly futures positioning, straight from the regulator.
Net non-commercial (speculative) positions. Extreme net length is a crowded trade — fuel for reversals. Free, official, weekly.
Corridor conditions
Live weather at the chokepoints.
Hormuz/Fujairah wind affects tanker and bunkering ops; Mumbai and Delhi heat is a real-time power-demand proxy — the bridge to GRYD.
US inventories — EIA

Data honesty
Prices: Yahoo (delayed) + ECB fallback. News: GDELT + RSS. Failures show as errors — never invented numbers. Dubai/Oman assessments need licensed feeds and are deliberately absent.
Thesis journal
No theses yet. Logging one snapshots the whole tape at that moment — a timestamp nobody can backdate.
Each entry stores the date and every tape price at creation, then tracks the move since. Closing asks what happened and what you learned. Six months of this is interview evidence no CV line can match.
