Make live context truthful—and catalysts harder to miss

Candle persistence, honest event timing, and high-impact NEXT behavior converge in the v0.6 Catalyst Awareness checkpoint.

Several related changes converged on one principle: NOWEDGE should say only what the available market and event data can support, while making the most consequential upcoming events easier to notice.

Preserve valid Candle context through live transitions

Current-price visibility now follows the live connection’s actual state. Valid Today VWAP references survive temporary refresh gaps, can be reconstructed after launch, and persist into After Hours while current price continues to update.

Represent event timing honestly

The agenda distinguishes exact times, date-only events, holidays, and earnings reported before market, after market, or at an unknown time.

Conflicting source information becomes a data-quality condition instead of being flattened into false precision.

Surface high-impact catalysts in NEXT

Major employment, inflation, and Federal Reserve events can temporarily take priority in NEXT during a defined attention window.

The interface explains why an event matters without predicting direction, and critical safety states retain priority.

Establish the catalyst-awareness baseline

With Candle truthfulness, event-data semantics, and high-impact NEXT behavior accepted together, the project reached the v0.6 Catalyst Awareness checkpoint.

WHAT WE LEARNED

Dependability comes from consistent treatment of uncertainty.

  • Truthfulness affects what remains visible as well as what is omitted.
  • Uncertain event timing should remain uncertain.
  • Attention should decay after a catalyst instead of occupying the display indefinitely.
NEXT

Protect the baseline while expanding the system.

  1. Continue closed-day validation.
  2. Make review and handoff more repeatable.
  3. Begin shaping personalized awareness without inventing candidates.
