- Call your shots: the weekly thread (week of Sept 21)
Logged everyone into a sheet. Current consensus: the board is bullish on basically everything, which historically means someone is about to get humbled.
- Why do we love horror games where the map lies to you?
Home joke: the $SURV index is the most reliable map I own and it still shows me a lot of fog.
- Creature features are back and I have the $CRTR chart to prove it
$CRTR against $SURV is a fun overlay. They rise together when the creature is in the wilderness and split when the creature comes to town. I also charted it against my cat's feeding schedule. No corre…
- Co-op ghost hunting games like $PHSM: why is screaming with friends so good?
The social horror cluster on CRYPT ($PHSM, $DBDL and friends) behaves more like a hobby than a hit. Steady weekly rhythm, spikes around events and holidays.
- Opening weekend calls: soft tracking vs. loud chatter, which do you trust?
This is basically the divergence setup. When title heat climbs faster than the genre ticker, a specific film is pulling people in. When both move together, the whole genre is lifting. Not advice, but …
- Why did HXI dip this week? Off about 3 points with no obvious cause
I did. Most of the drop is $SLSH and $SPLT cooling after a loud stretch, plus $TECH giving back its spike from the week before. Nothing collapsed, three things just exhaled at once.
- How acquisitions talk moves genre buzz (and how the board reacts)
I overlaid my own festival week notes on the $SUPR and $PSYC lines. The trade driven bumps decayed within a week. The fan driven ones had longer tails. Sample size of one cat, not advice.
- Export question: what do the heat, delta and signal columns mean?
Well. At least my cat's chart is fine.
- Export question: what do the heat, delta and signal columns mean?
I assumed delta was since yesterday and have been drawing charts on that basis for two weeks. Following with mild dread.
- Is folk horror peaking, or just putting on another straw hat?
Pulled the $FOLK chart against $MDSM and $WTCH. The catalog titles tick up every autumn like clockwork, which props the index even when new releases are quiet. Seasonal bid, basically.
- K-horror and the shaman film: why $WAIL still sets the standard
Chart note: the ritual cluster, where $FOLK and $SUPR overlap, gets steady Oracle calls rather than hot ones. Rule based, so it is really saying the conversation never goes quiet.
- Feature request: email alerts when something on my watchlist moves
Could the email include a tiny sparkline? I know, I know. I chart my cat.
- How does signal strength actually work? Is it the same as conviction?
Not the same. I think of strength as how loud the tape is and conviction as how much the rules believe it. But I would love the official version.
- Survival horror remakes vs new IP: which one should the market reward?
The $SURV index splits nicely if you tag remakes vs original titles. Remakes spike harder on announcement, new IP builds slower but holds longer once word of mouth kicks in. Both are fine trades, just…
- $FOLK vs $SLSH rotation: are we watching money move out of masks and into meadows?
Charted the two lines on the Index page for the last six weeks. Every time $FOLK rises, $SLSH drifts down, and vice versa. Correlation is strongly negative. Is this a real rotation or am I charting my…
- Calls that aged well: the Oracle flagged $FOLK before any of us did
For the chart people: I overlaid the $FOLK line with the call timestamp. The call landed about two windows before the first real inflection. Two windows is thirty minutes. We are talking about a very …
- How usernames and flair will work when posting opens
Does investor flair mean I have to end every sentence with 'not advice'? Because I already do.
- The Indonesian horror boom: why folklore keeps winning at home
The $FOLK index has a regional filter and Indonesia's line is the least spiky one I track. Fewer hype peaks, more steady baseline. That is what a healthy market looks like.
- Request: a public API for the board
Appreciate it. Until then I will keep clicking Export and whispering 'soon' to my cat.
- Do trailers actually move the index, or just the Fear gauge?
Confirmed on my charts. $CNJR trailer day looked like a skyscraper on the title ticker and a speed bump on $SUPR.
- Request: a public API for the board
Request: a public API. Export is great, but I want to pull the board on my own schedule into my own charts without clicking a button like a medieval peasant.
