Take a reading

Read any station.

The same pass the sweep runs: authorities straight from the chain, market shape from the pair. Nothing is cached for you — the instruments are read now.

What a reading is, and is not
  • It is a snapshot. Twelve instruments read at one moment. A pair that reads CLEAR now can read GALE in an hour, and the office will say so when it re-reads.
  • It is arithmetic, not opinion. The reading starts at 5.0 and every instrument that registers moves it by a published weight. Add them up yourself — the numbers are on the card.
  • It is not advice. A high reading means the instruments found little wrong, not that a pair is a good trade. Those are different claims and we only make the first.
  • Blind instruments stay blind. When a source omits a field, that instrument does not fire and is listed as unread. It is never scored as zero.
