Read at 1 minute before the move.

Minutes like this appeared 100 times in the 43,201 minutes searched (0.2%). What followed was close to a coin flip: 51 rose and 49 fell over the next 30 minutes (100 of the 100 matches have a complete 30 minutes forward).

Of the 100 fires, 77 came before the move began and 11 happened while it was already under way. A fire during the move sees it; it does not telegraph it.

About 3.2 a day, on 16 of 31 days: spread through the record rather than one event.

Hourly candles. The marked lines are the minutes the readings came from: 1 minute, 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours and 24 hours before the move began. Every one of them sits before the move, never inside it.

A reading stands out when it sits outside the range it usually holds. The rules are fixed: the same ones the moment reader on the research page uses.

At 1 minute before the move, 3 of the 39 readings stood out. 2026-08-01 17:59 UTC

Read at 15 minutes before the move.

Minutes like this appeared 30 times in the 43,181 minutes searched (<0.1%). What followed was close to a coin flip: 16 rose and 14 fell over the next 30 minutes (30 of the 30 matches have a complete 30 minutes forward).

Of the 30 fires, 19 came before the move began and 4 happened while it was already under way. A fire during the move sees it; it does not telegraph it.

About 1 a day, on 13 of 31 days: spread through the record rather than one event.

Fires often arrive as clusters of consecutive minutes, and forward windows overlap. A cluster is one episode, not many independent trials.

If these counts read weaker than the move suggested, that is the tool working: the lead-up of a picked move always looks special until it is counted everywhere else.

Every night the record counts what fired and what usually followed: the daily brief.
