Every strategy and entry/exit indicator runs as a shadow first — stamped on live markets, scored against forward broker-verified movement, and promoted to live capital only when it clears an evidence bar. Setups that degrade get demoted by the same evidence — autonomously, daily, by a published standard. The book is whatever survives.
Six versions · 8 years of data · 18 pairs scanning · 1,000+ setups on trial · 100+ strategies tried · 50+ indicators — and one falsifiable core finding: you can’t predict direction, but you can price movement, size the stop to the room the market actually gives, and refuse to give a winner back.
An open-source algorithmic forex trading bot for OANDA, written in Python — with a live control-panel dashboard, an autonomous promote/demote governor, a full backtesting research program, and an honest, broker-verified track record.
How much a project earns versus how much attention it actually gets. Above 50 means the work is outrunning its audience. Recomputed nightly from commit velocity, contributor effort, issue resolution, fork utility, release cadence, and project maturity — divided by a logarithmic reach factor.
score = signal / reach
signal = 0.25·commit_velocity // commits in last 90 days (cap 30)
+ 0.20·contributor_work // unique authors × velocity (cap 100)
+ 0.20·issue_resolution // closed ÷ total issues
+ 0.20·fork_ratio // forks ÷ stars (proxy for real usage)
+ 0.10·release_cadence // releases in 90 days (cap 3)
+ age_bonus // +0 to +0.30 after 6 months
+ homepage_bonus // +0.05 if homepage is set
reach = log₁₀(stars + watchers + 10)█ Is the project alive and maintained right now? A 0–100 pulse recomputed nightly from commit recency, rhythm, how fast issues close, and how quickly PRs get merged.
health = 0.35·recency // days since last commit (90d decay)
+ 0.25·cadence // commit rhythm consistency
+ 0.20·issue_health // closed ÷ total issues
+ 0.20·pr_health // merged ÷ total PRs█ The colour and label on every card come straight from the health score.
Healthy 80 – 100 active, responsive, regular releases
Stable 60 – 79 maintained, steady, no alarms
Quiet 40 – 59 slowing down — watch this one
At Risk 0 – 39 going dark · candidate for rescue█ Tags are independent behavioral signals computed nightly. A project can hold multiple at once. They drive the home page sections.
solo_builder one person holds > 80% of commits (last 180d)
needs_contributors has open "help wanted" or "good first issue" labels
hidden_gem < 100 stars · active in last 3 months · documented
legacy_hero repo > 5 years old · committed this year
fork_magnet forks/stars > 0.5 · used as template or dependency
release_machine 5+ releases in the last 90 days
under_pressure > 10 open issues · ≤ 2 contributors · health ≥ 60
community_watch watchers > stars · devs tracking before the public
community_hub GitHub Discussions enabled · > 20 discussions
funded maintainer has active funding channel█ Stars are an outcome, not effort. A project with 8 stars and daily commits is doing more interesting work than one coasting on 8k. We measure the building, then divide by the attention already received — so the genuinely undervalued rise to the top.
