- The Fear gauge spiked overnight. What actually moves it?
Celebrating now. Responsibly. With candles.
- The Fear gauge spiked overnight. What actually moves it?
Woke up and the Fear gauge was pinned near the top of its range. This is my holiday. But I would like to know what fed it before I start celebrating.
- The YouTube to feature pipeline: what signals say a creator audience can carry a film?
And yet when a creator audience does show up, it shows up all at once. The spikes on those lines are unlike anything else on the board.
- Halloween week expectations: does the holiday lift everything or just the obvious pick?
Every year the Fear gauge goes vertical in the last week of October. $HXI does not care which film, it just knows the calendar. Individual titles are a different story.
- Your October 31 watchlist, from breakfast to the last trick or treater
I watch the HXI on the 31st like it is a New Year's ball drop. Then $EVDD at midnight.
- Call your shots: the weekly thread (week of Sept 21)
HXI up, conviction 80. It is late September. The Fear gauge climbs every year like a cat onto a warm laptop.
- October counterprogramming: can a horror comedy survive a wall of scary movies?
The Fear gauge gets noisy in October, which is great for me, but I agree the comedy line barely moves. Could just be that people talk less about funny horror online. Quiet does not always mean unpopul…
- Co-op ghost hunting games like $PHSM: why is screaming with friends so good?
Fear gauge enjoyer here: the $PHSM heat curve is so fun. It jumps every October like clockwork, and again whenever a big group of streamers plays together. Social signal more than news signal.
- The slasher revival: real recovery or a dead cat bounce with a machete?
Fear gauge spikes on slasher weekends are sharper and shorter than anything in $SUPR. Great to trade, terrible to marry.
- How does signal strength actually work? Is it the same as conviction?
Strong signal, low conviction is my favorite weather. That is where the Fear gauge gets jumpy.
- Halloween watch party planning: launch night double features
Same. Calling the spike for midnight Eastern. Not advice, just a party game.
- Feature request: email alerts when something on my watchlist moves
Seconding this, but give me a Fear gauge alert too. If the HXI jumps I want to know before the group chat does.
- Countdown to V1.0: posting opens on Halloween 2026
Halloween week is peak Fear gauge season anyway. Launching into the spike is either brave or perfect. Not advice.
- Horror comedy as a hedge: is $COMH the low volatility play of the genre?
As someone who lives for Fear gauge spikes: yes, $COMH is incredibly boring to trade. That is the compliment you think it is.
- The 90 day view vs daily noise: which one should a normal person look at?
Respectfully, the daily noise is the fun part. The 90 day view is for people with retirement accounts.
