Scroll inside the table for the full history. Forward 60-day SPY is measured from each run’s start date; a reader cannot trade off a start-date they only identify in hindsight, so this is a transparency log, not an alpha claim. Asterisked (*) returns are partial. The run is less than 60 trading days old. The full 60-day comparable fills in as more data arrives.

What this measures

The SI Wavelet Coherence Dollar 22d Lag signal captures a distinct silver market regime driven by its underlying mechanism; the engine produces a tanh-bounded composite between minus one and plus one. The composite is z-scored against a trailing baseline and bounded through tanh.
