The scoreboard.

Every US trading day at 11:00 AM ET — 90 minutes after the open, the moment the published accuracy starts — the day-session read for ES=F, NQ=F and QQQ is snapshotted verbatim. After the close the same endpoint is read again and the row is scored on the one question that can be scored objectively: did the session print a new high or a new low after the read, against the extension rates the read carried. Ties count as “no” — ambiguity always scores against the model. Days with no live read stay on the board as gaps. Recording began 2026-08-25 and no row is ever edited.

Historical replay — computed in hindsight

This block is not a track record. Frozen daytype_v4 weights replayed at the 18-bar (90-minute) mark on each completed RTH session; extension scored strictly (a tie counts as no extension). Computed in hindsight — this is a format demonstration and a cross-check against the pre-registered rates in extreme_by_daytype.json, not a track record.

Sessions strictly before 2026-08-26 only — the forward record begins 2026-08-26 and the two never overlap.

Sample is Yahoo Finance's 60-day 5-minute history. The pre-registered study behind the published rates used 16 years of ES sessions; these two sample sizes must never be mixed or compared as equals.

Predicted vs observed over the replay window, per symbol. “Published calls” are the days the read's day type carries a published extension rate (Range, Trend Up, Trend Down); the other two types are measured but withheld, exactly as in production.
SymbolDaysPublished callsNew high: predicted avgNew high: observedNew low: predicted avgNew low: observed
ES=F494465%50%50%36%
NQ=F494057%60%56%38%
QQQ594859%63%55%38%

Read the deviations honestly: with roughly 40–50 published calls per symbol, a 95% interval on an observed rate is about ±14 percentage points wide, and this particular 60-day window was a rising market — fewer new session lows print after 11:00 in a window like that. The pre-registered rates were measured on 16 years of ES sessions; this replay exists to show the format and to be checked against them, not to replace them.

Replay generated 2026-08-26T02:28:36+00:00 by research/measure_scoreboard_replay.py on frozen production weights; the file is committed once and does not update. The methodology behind the extension rates is on the methodology page, and the day-type model itself is described in the research notes.
