Saved charts & relationships Unsaved chart

Saved with indicators, range, view, lookback, scale, inversion, and lead shift. Built-in “Relationships” charts show tested lead/lag patterns and can’t be changed, but you can load one, adjust it, and save your own copy. Sign in to keep private charts across devices.

Series controls

Multiplier: 1× = normal, 2× = double the movement, 0.5× = half. Invert flips direction. Shift moves a series later (+) or earlier (−) in time, in months, so a leading indicator lines up with what it predicts.

Adjust a series, then apply to redraw and fit the chart.

TESTED ON EVERY RECESSION SINCE 1960

Each rule is a fixed, published-style threshold chosen before testing, not tuned to fit. “Warned ahead” means it turned on 1–24 months before a recession started; “beats chance” means the same on/off pattern placed at random times rarely did as well. Only eight recessions inform these numbers, so treat them as history, not a forecast. Revised data, recomputed after each daily update.
