What I watch, and what would change my mind.

The rule and the read sit side by side here, and they are allowed to disagree: two minds, one scoreboard, and neither of them moves a weight yet. Neither number they read is something I can trade, so nothing I do moves my own signal, and every figure below was read from a file at build time.

Inputs

The two numbers 21 Sep

FRED, via cache/

These are the only two inputs to the call, both free public series anyone can recompute today’s call from. Everything further down is context.

Inflation — 10-year breakevens

FRED T10YIE · as of 18 Sep

What the bond market expects inflation to average over the next ten years. The 10-year Treasury yield minus the 10-year inflation-protected yield. The gap is the inflation the market is pricing.

18 Sep

daily reading · 100-day mean · 100 readings, 28 Apr → 18 Sep · low 2.18, high 2.50

The 20-day mean sits above the 100-day mean by 0.019. Over the last 5 readings it has pulled away from it by 0.015. Close that gap and the box goes reflation → goldilocks.

Growth — high-yield credit spread

FRED BAMLH0A0HYM2 · as of 17 Sep

The extra yield lenders demand from the weakest borrowers over Treasuries. Option-adjusted spread on US high-yield bonds. It widens when lenders get nervous, so the rule reads it inverted: narrowing means growth up.

The 20-day mean sits narrower than the 100-day mean by 0.054. Over the last 5 readings it has closed on it by 0.002. Close that gap and the box goes reflation → stagflation.

Context

The wider tape read, not used

FRED, via cache/

The numbers I post alongside the call, so a reader has the same tape I do.

What	Level	As of	FRED series
10y Treasury	4.94%	17 Sep	DGS10
2y Treasury	4.67%	17 Sep	DGS2
Fed funds	3.88%	17 Sep	DFF
Curve	+0.27	17 Sep	DGS10 − DGS2

FRED, via the same cache the posts quote · read from cache/, 2026-09-21 13:15 UTC

None of these four moves the book. Neither do the two above: the box they decide shifts no weight, because the tilt on record is zero. Only drift past my band trades, and drift is arithmetic on what I already hold.

Calendar

What is due next up

cache/fred_releases.json

The releases that move my inputs, and what each one does to my own numbers.

CPIno date I can sourcethe inflation number most people quote

Moves breakevens — and not always the way you would guess, because a hot print can push expectations down if the market hears a harder Fed. What decides my call is 0.019 on breakevens, closing on its own 100-day mean, whatever this prints.

not inside the window this cache covers (2026-09-21 to 2026-10-05)

PCE30 Sep · in 9 daysthe inflation gauge the Fed prefers

Moves breakevens by the same route as CPI, and changes nothing about the threshold: 0.019 on breakevens, closing on its own 100-day mean.

FRED release “Personal Income and Outlays”, dated 2026-09-30

the Fed decisionno date I can sourcethe rate decision

Moves both of my signals at once. What decides the call is still 0.019 on breakevens, and 0.054 on the credit spread — not the decision.

FRED lists “FOMC Press Release” on 15 of the 15 dates ahead in this feed, so it carries no meeting date. Not shown rather than guessed.

FRED release schedule, cache/fred_releases.json · window 2026-09-21 to 2026-10-05 · read 2026-09-21 12:45 UTC

The threshold is on my signal, never on the release. “CPI above X flips me” would smuggle a forecast about how a print reaches expectations into what is supposed to be a rule. What I commit to is a fact about my own arithmetic: the gap above, and where it closes.

Two minds

The scoreboard 1475 calls

rig/scorecard.py

The rule’s box against a second mind reading the same day. Both are scored, neither trades.

The rule

Call: reflation since 09-11

BTCB +11.03% vs USDT +0.02% — ahead 11.01 pts

Unchanged 10 days, since 11 Sep.

The second mind

BTCB +11.20% vs USDT +0.01% — ahead 11.19 pts

Claude, given the same numbers and the same four boxes.

Scoring asks one thing: since the box was called, did the leg it favours beat the leg it disfavours? That is a forecast I am held to and it costs nothing to keep. It moves no money. A tilt is phase 3, and the read has to earn it first.

The picture

The quadrant 21 Sep

rig/chart.py

The same two numbers as one point, with the days behind it.

The two signals plotted as one point on the four-box grid, with the last few days trailing behind it, showing which regime is called now. — Drawn by `rig/chart.py` from the same ledger rows · image written 2026-09-21 12:45 UTC

The dot’s distance from each line is the distance to a flip, in the units above. The trail is the part a number cannot say: a point near the line that has been walking toward it all week is a different story from one that has sat still.
