The ones I got wrong.

The Verdict posted 17 July graded the 12 July gold floor claim a pass. The published kill, a weekly close beneath 4,098, had in fact fired at 4,018.44. The correct grade is a miss and the ledger carries it. A third claim from the same map, the stair at 4,305.32, went ungraded in that Verdict and is stated here as no test. The erroneous grades, this correction, and the grading process failure behind them are all logged and all remain.

Friday 7 August close (TradingView TVC, 23:00 CET): gold 4,342, silver 63.45. The standing ceiling claims at gold 4,098.275 and silver 61.02 both had their kills fire; both are graded wrong and stay on the page. Gold 3,942.430 was never reached and is stated as no test. Gold has been bearish since 13 March. That structure ended on the 7 August close above the 464 swing slow mean at 4,268. From that close the swing clock in gold turns bullish; a weekly close back below 4,268 now kills the new call. Silver remains below its own swing line and continues under the prior claim. Graded per metal under the ruling made before the close. Two rulings disclosed: the swing kill that named both metals in one sentence is graded per metal, and silver 61.02 receives its grade under the same standard applied to every gold restatement. Both rulings taken in the direction that costs this desk more. Tally after this close: twelve correct, three wrong, three never tested.

The directional position runs on a longer clock than a level and resolves on a different question, so it is stated separately and graded separately. Standing calls never enter the tally: averaging a call that runs for months with one that resolves on a Friday would flatter both. Each carries the close that ends it, and every figure beside it carries the date it is measured from. When one ends it stays, with the date and what ended it.

Friday 28 August close (TradingView TVC, market shut, read 02:02 to 02:04 CEST on 29 August): gold 4,453.670, silver 66.3700, platinum 1,821.80. Three floors were named on Sunday 23 August with the market shut, each published with the weekly close that would kill it. The gold call passes; the 464 swing slow mean read 4,308.037, the same read as 21 August, and the close sat 145.63 above it. The platinum call passes on the first platinum row this page has ever carried; the line read 1,790.84, the same read as the level named on Sunday, and the close sat 30.96 above it, same method, same rule, third metal. The silver call fails; the line read 66.6600 and the close printed 66.3700, 0.29 under it, so the kill fired exactly as it was published on Sunday night. The row grades wrong and it stays, where every wrong row on this page stays. The standing week-to-week call is restated, not ended, and on 29 August it was restated a second time by a ruling that reached it and not the rows. THE SWING CLOCK TURNS ON A CROSS, NOT A PRICE CLOSE: what dates a turn is the epoch midline crossing the slow mean reversion line, and position against the line is the confirmation, never the trigger. That is not a new idea on this page, it is the standard already applied to the secular clock since 1 August under note 06, extended by the founder to the swing clock and read on his own chart on 29 August. Under it, silver's swing claim did not end on the 28 August close. Silver closed 0.29 under its line and the structure never turned, so the standing direction stands in all three metals. THE RULING DOES NOT REACH THE ROW, and the distinction is the reason this note is long. The weekly rows are a different object on a different clock: each names a level before the week and publishes a price close as the kill, and each is graded on exactly what it published. The silver row of 23 August named a weekly close back below 66.66 as its kill, the close printed 66.3700, and that kill fired. The row grades WRONG and it stays wrong. Note 01 has said since 3 July that no grade is ever restamped to fit a rulebook written after it, and note 03 is the precedent where this desk applied that in the direction that cost it a win. A desk that re-reads its own rulebook on a Saturday and finds its Friday loss was never a loss has stopped keeping a record. The tally is unchanged by the ruling: eighteen correct, four wrong. What the ruling does change, and this is the process defect worth naming, is that the Sunday rows have been publishing a kill that does not match the method the desk actually trades. The row's kill was honest, published and fired; it was also the wrong question to ask of a swing claim. From the next Sunday call, a row naming swing direction states the event that truly ends it, and a row naming a price level keeps a price kill and says which of the two it is. Gold's mark is 2.57% above the 7 August close, down from 6.00% last week. The entry keeps the status live and keeps its stated date of 21 August because nothing was newly stated tonight. Two disclosures with it. First, the paragraph under the standing calls told every reader that silver continues under its own line. That sentence was written on 7 August and was true then. It stopped being true on the 21 August close and was not moved with the entry that night, so it stood stale for one week. It is corrected tonight and logged rather than tidied. Second, platinum's close and its line read were entered separately from gold's and silver's, off the founder's own chart, because the capture taken at the close had the chart's own label covered. Platinum's swing clock is dated from the 19 August close, read off the same chart and supplied on 29 August; for one day this page carried platinum with a graded row and no dated clock, and said so rather than inventing a start. The grade was never in doubt; the two prints were, and they were read before this note published. Tally after this close: eighteen correct, four wrong, five never tested, twenty-seven rows, nothing open.

Friday 11 September close, read off the founder's 8h TVC charts stamped 12 September with the market shut, 03:09 CEST for gold and 03:10 for silver and platinum: gold 4,347.760, silver 64.4810, platinum 1,791.50. Two floors were named on 6 September before the week opened, each published with the weekly close that would kill it, and both kills fired. GOLD. The floor was 4,357, taken from a line labelled 4,357.307 and rounded down to the dollar. The close printed 4,347.760, which is 9.24 under the number as published and 9.547 under the line as it reads tonight, unchanged from Sunday. MISS. The rounding is disclosed because the Sunday session raised it as a standard question: rounding a floor down makes the test easier by the cents dropped, 30.7 of them this week. It did not decide anything tonight, because the close sat under the label as well as under the number, and it has not decided any grade on this page. Whether floors round up or print to the cent from here is the founder's ruling and it will be logged as its own note when he makes it; it changes no grade already written. PLATINUM. The floor was 1,797.40, named on 30 August, held on 4 September, and kept for a second week although the line had drifted five cents under it, because a floor does not follow a line down. The close printed 1,791.50, which is 5.90 under the number as published and 5.85 under the line. MISS. Third row for platinum, first wrong. SILVER, THE ROW THAT IS STILL NOT HERE. The door published on 30 August was a weekly close above 66.80. Tonight silver closed 64.4810 with the line reading 66.6878, so the close sat 2.319 under the door and 2.207 under the line. The condition is not met for a third week and silver carries no row again, stated here rather than left as a gap, for the reason note 17 gave. THE STANDING CARD. All three metals closed under their lines on the same night, gold and platinum for the first time since their clocks turned and silver for the third week running. Under the ruling of 29 August that is confirmation moving against the claim and not the event that ends it; the event is the epoch midline crossing the slow mean reversion line, read off the founder's chart and dated. No such read has been ruled tonight, so the card stands as last read and says so in its own words. If the founder rules a cross on any metal, the state, the date and the reason go on the card and this note is not edited. THE TALLY. Twenty-six rows resolved, twenty held, six wrong, five never reached, none open. The six wrong rows sit in the ledger below in the same type as the twenty, and misses.html lists them alone. THE TICK BOOK. The first rows in the second ledger, tick.html, are written from Monday 14 September, each posted before the trade and graded on that day's 23:00 close, under note 25 and the rule printed on that page.

Friday 11 September close, read off the founder's 8h TVC charts stamped 12 September with the market shut, 03:09 CEST for gold and 03:10 for silver and platinum: gold 4,347.760, silver 64.4810, platinum 1,791.50.

The close printed 1,791.50, which is 5.90 under the number as published and 5.85 under the line. MISS. Third row for platinum, first wrong. SILVER, THE ROW THAT IS STILL NOT HERE. The door published on 30 August was a weekly close above 66.80. Tonight silver closed 64.4810 with the line reading 66.6878, so the close sat 2.319 under the door and 2.207 under the line. The condition is not met for a third week and silver carries no row again, stated here rather than left as a gap, for the reason note 17 gave. THE STANDING CARD.

Friday 25 September close, read off the founder's 4h TVC charts stamped 25 September with the market shut, 23:07 CEST for gold and 23:08 for silver and platinum: gold 4,284.130, silver 64.2560, platinum 1,777.80. Three floors were named on 20 September, each an edge of the box its metal opened the week of 14 September in, each published with the weekly close that would kill it. GOLD. The floor was 4,337. The close printed 4,284.130, 52.87 under it. MISS. Gold printed under the line on Monday, closed back over it on the 8h chart on Tuesday night at 4,357.68, and went back under on Wednesday, bars carried by the founder's 8h export of 23 September. SILVER. The floor was 64.08. Silver traded under it during the week, 63.8480 on the founder's chart at 08:21 CEST on Friday, and the weekly close printed 64.2560, 0.176 above it. PASS, at arm's length, and the row says so. PLATINUM. The floor was 1,746. Platinum went through it on Wednesday, a low of 1,740.486 on the 8h export, 5.51 under it, and the weekly close printed 1,777.80, 31.80 above it. PASS. THE LAST ROWS IN THE OLD WORDS. These three are the last rows this page grades as held, wrong or never reached. From 28 September every row is named under the call grammar of note 34, with its side, its room and its odds, and graded HIT, HELD or WRONG on the close. THE BANK BOARD AND THE CROWD. The September window of the UBS target of 6,200, the crowd row of 23 September, shut on the same close: 4,284.130, 1,915.87 under the line. No weekly close at or above 6,200 printed inside the window. Wrong, on the board and in the crowd, in the same word this page gives itself, and the desk's own gold row graded wrong on the same close. Tonight's two rows give gold's high of 2026 from the founder's weekly chart, 5,598.75, in the week of 26 to 30 January; the March and June rows still carry it as reported, 5,589.38 on 28 January, and no grade turns on the difference. THE STANDING CARD. The charts read tonight carry no read of the standing line, so the card stands as last read and says so. THE TALLY. Twenty-nine rows resolved, twenty-two held, seven wrong, five never reached, none open. Neither the bank board nor the crowd is in it.

Friday 9 October close, read off the founder's TVC charts stamped 9 October with the market shut: gold 4,194.085 and silver 60.7790 on the 10 minute charts at 23:00 CEST, platinum 1,686.90 on the 8h chart at 23:14 CEST. Three lines were named on 5 October under the call grammar of note 34: the high of the box gold and silver opened the week in and the low of platinum's, each with its side, its room, its odds at naming and the weekly close that would make it wrong. Each is graded by arithmetic on the close: through the line, WRONG; at or through the room, HIT, counted once as held; otherwise HELD. GOLD. Stays below 4,170.41, room 4,124.48, odds at naming 61. The close printed 4,194.085, 23.675 above the line and 69.605 above the room, 4,124.48. WRONG. SILVER. Stays below 62.036, room 60.326, odds at naming 60. The close printed 60.7790, 1.257 under the line and 0.453 above the room, 60.326. HELD. PLATINUM. Holds above 1,699.00, room 1,740.40, odds at naming 59. The close printed 1,686.90, 12.10 under the line and 53.50 under the room, 1,740.40. WRONG. The two wrong rows are the first under the grammar, and they stay on this page as graded, as every wrong row has since 30 June. THE ODDS BOARD. Six rows graded under the grammar, four held, two of them hits, and two wrong. The odds they were named at add up to 4.00. Held against that sum is read over many weeks; this is two weeks, six rows. THE BANK BOARD. No window shut on this close. THE STANDING CARD. The charts read tonight carry no read of the standing line, so the card stands as last read and says so. THE TALLY. Thirty-five rows resolved, twenty-six held, nine wrong, five never reached, none open. Neither the bank board nor the crowd is in it.
