A new post is queued in the drip schedule: "Even at 80%, a bad month is part of the deal" — the math behind why even strong strategies must have ugly stretches, plus four diagnostic questions you can run during a drawdown to figure out whether to hold steady or actually act. Includes an interactive calculator that tells you how statistically unusual your current month is, and a 3-question self-assessment that scores your situation. Lands at /blog/is-your-edge-broken when its slot opens.

• Cross-link audit pass — every blog post and every tool now links inline to the two or three most-related items in the same topical cluster. Reading one piece naturally surfaces the next without forcing it. No "related reading" footer block; the links read as part of the paragraphs.
• /legal corrected from "Singapore" to "Amsterdam, Netherlands" — earlier today's regen inferred the region from a response header that actually pointed at the proxy edge serving the request, not the actual deployment region. The data has been in the EU all along; the legal page now reflects that, and notes that EU storage puts the platform directly inside GDPR scope.

The legal page is AI-regenerated from a re-audit of the actual code, on a cadence triggered by material changes shipping. Today's regen catches up to the platform's current state — payments are now live (USDT on Tron), hosting region is Singapore (was previously listed as US — corrected), the cookie name is rt_session, and the third-party-services list now correctly includes TronGrid, Fastly CDN, and Google Fonts (loaded client-side for the Victor Mono webfont). Also expanded the in-app-data list to include Trade Log and Holdr alongside the existing Tasks and Gym. Read it at /legal.

• The /subscribe page shows a 30-minute countdown so you have a clear window to send. If you miss it for any reason — slow exchange withdrawal, wrong network selected first, you stepped away — the unique cents-tag on your invoice is still honored by our payment watcher for 24 hours after you create it. Pay any time within that window and your access activates automatically, no email required.
• Fixed a wrapping issue on the pricing card where one bullet rendered with awkward whitespace.

• The coin and experience pickers on the signup wizard were sometimes nudging cards onto a second row at the wrong width. They now lock to two rows (3 cards + 3 cards for coins, 2 cards + 2 cards for experience) regardless of label length. "None yet" → "None" so every coin label is short and consistent.

• The "Retired Today" wordmark in the header no longer underlines on hover. It's still clickable (returns home); it just looks cleaner now.
• Icons in the bottom dock on /app, the search row, and the floating orbital tiles all render at hairline weight, matching the rest of the platform.

• Setups fire as market orders, so the position is open the instant the row appears. The status pill now reads Active while the trade is live, then Win, Loss, or Breakeven once it closes — instead of carrying limit-order language ("pending") that didn't match what's actually happening on-exchange.
• Colors match the meaning: gold for Active, green for Win, red for Loss, muted for Breakeven, red for Expired / Cancelled, muted for Skipped.

• We sell one-time 6 or 12-month access windows paid in USDT, no auto-renew. The copy across docs, legal, the homepage, /pricing, /swap, /signals, and /subscribe has been swept to match — "subscription" is gone, "access" / "access window" / "members" replace it.
• Nothing about how the platform works changes — same plans, same payment flow, same /account.

• A small line right after the "free with account" cards said "Live signals are paid · everything else is yours when you sign up · see pricing." Pulled it — too sales-y for that point on the homepage. /pricing already covers that conversation.
• The Menu button was missing from the homepage header. It's back, with the same hamburger that every other page has.

• Every blog post and tool page now drops a small in-article CTA roughly halfway through the read, in addition to the bigger one at the bottom. We pick the copy and the destination from the article's tags — a piece on signals points you at the live feed, a piece about a tool points you at /tools, a piece about portfolio tracking points you at /holdr, and so on.
• Subscribers don't see the CTA — they're already in.
• The duplicate "sign up free" link that used to sit in the post footer is gone — back-to-list link is all that remains down there.

• The "earn it back" calculator on /pricing now uses the same real last-6-months trade data as the homepage projection, so the two pages line up at any account size you slide to.
• Two new cells joined the existing four: Win rate · last 6mo and Avg R · per signal. You can see the math, not just the projection.
• The paid card has been tidied — one over-long bullet was breaking the visual rhythm against the cleaner one-line bullets around it. Split into two short bullets that read as one thought.
• A new FAQ answer explains why we sell 6 or 12 months of access rather than a monthly subscription: the strategy needs a sample-size of trades to play out, and we suggest compounding profits inside the account for a month at a time, withdrawing once a month, and logging every trade in /log so you can compare your execution to ours.

• No more flash of the signed-in UI when you open /holdr or /log without an account. Both pages now wait for the session check before showing anything beyond the landing card.
• Holdr never overwrites what you typed. When you log a buy or sell, we save the fiat amount and coin amount exactly as entered — no auto-fill against the live price, no rounding behind your back. The "Now value" column still shows what it's worth right now.
• Date inputs are easier to tap. Tapping anywhere inside a date field on /holdr or /log now opens the picker (where the browser supports it), instead of requiring a click on the tiny calendar icon.
• /log anonymous landing now says CSV export is yours any time — no commitment.

• We swept the platform so notification copy says "phone alerts" / "your phone buzzes" instead of naming a specific app in the lead. Push delivery is going to grow beyond a single app (email and web push are on the roadmap), and we want the user-visible language to stay accurate when that happens.
• The /account walkthrough still names the app you currently set up — that's the page where you actually configure it, so there's no point being coy.
• Nothing about delivery itself changes today: alerts still fire the same way, on the same devices.

• Import CSV button in the /log toolbar. Drop a file from any tracker or spreadsheet; we read the headers and figure out which column is the date, the symbol, the entry price, and so on.
• Common formats just work — Open Time / Entry Date / Time all become Date; Buy / Long both mean Long; Stopped Out / SL both mean Loss. ISO and DD/MM/YYYY dates both parse. Currency symbols and thousand-separators in the numeric columns are stripped automatically.
• Live preview: the modal shows "45 ready · 2 skipped" with the reason next to each skipped row, so nothing imports silently.
• Default destination is a new cycle named after your file, so the import stays grouped (and reversible if you change your mind). You can also pick an existing cycle from the dropdown.
• Need a template? Hit Download sample.csv in the drop zone.

• Group your trades into cycles — months, market regimes, or strategy experiments. Pick the cycle right inside the wizard, or hit "+ New" to start a fresh one mid-session.
• New filter chips above the table: All / 7D / 14D / 30D, plus a per-cycle dropdown. The summary numbers, the comparison card, and the CSV export all reshape to whatever you have selected.
• New Cycles view (toggle in the top right of the filter bar) — a stacked list of per-cycle cards showing trade count, win rate, average R, and total R. Click the eye icon on any card to dive into just that cycle's trades. Rename or delete from the same row.
• Legacy logs migrate cleanly — every existing trade lands in a default "Cycle 1" automatically.

• /swap is open to everyone now. Hero pitches the strategy in one sentence — no leverage, no margin calls, no liquidations, spot-only, self-custody. Four value-prop cards back it up.
• New backtest tool right on the page: pick your account size and one of four threshold presets (5/5 tight, 7/5 balanced, 10/7 measured, 15/10 patient). We run the strategy across the last two years of daily BTC closes and show you the strategy result vs holding, the edge in dollars, and how many swap signals would have fired. Equity curve chart with markers for each swap.
• Below the backtest, the page adapts to who you are: anonymous gets a free-signup CTA, free users get a subscribe CTA, paying members get the live config form and history.

• Account: a new Profile section at the top — set your first name + avatar (upload or auto-generated initials), used to greet you across the dashboard.
• Tooltips: hover (or tap on mobile) any underlined term — SL, TP, R, Risk, Drawdown — and a small panel explains it. R-multiples and drawdown specifically have plain-language definitions everywhere they appear.
• Signals: a new visualisation strip above the table shows the last 60 days as four swim lanes (BTC / ETH / SOL / XRP) with a coloured marker per setup. Green = win, red = loss, gold = open, grey = skipped. The whole 60 days lights up at a glance.

• New paid feature: BTC↔USDT swap alerts at /swap. Tell us your reference price and your up/down thresholds; we ping you on Pushover when the market moves past either trigger. The page has a live state card with a visual trigger ladder, a clean config form, and a history of past signals.
• Smarter copy across the platform — every public surface has been swept so we describe outcomes, not internals.
• Phemex referral link is now driven by an env var, so it's a single source of truth across landing, pricing, subscribe, and the docs.

• Sticky header and the mobile floating CTA on the homepage now have an inline email field — drop your address, click "Free account", land on the password screen. Same friction as a waitlist; same outcome as a signup.
• Signup wizard reorders. Step 1 is just email. Step 2 is two optional questions (which crypto + how long trading) plus an optional first name — the cards are equal height now and BTC/ETH/SOL/XRP get their brand colour swatches. Step 3 is just the password. Cleaner mental model: who, what, secret.
• New users no longer see a "Legal pages updated" notice on first visit — the wizard auto-acknowledges the current legal version on success.
• Pricing: removed the "/mo equivalent" line (we don't bill monthly, calling it that was confusing). Earn-it-back projection is always 6 months now with a new "Avg per month" cell. Cleaned up the paid-card features description.
• Homepage section flow: "In your free account" + "The rules" both moved up. There's a new "The paid product" intro that sets up everything below as the paid pitch.

• Account: a new "Step-by-step" button next to "Send test alert" opens a 5-step walkthrough that gets you from zero to receiving live alerts on your phone — download links, signup, where to find your User Key (with an illustrated mockup), one-click test.
• Docs: a new /docs/phemex-setup guide for anyone who's never used a derivatives exchange. 8 sections covering account opening, KYC, USDT deposit, finding perpetuals, placing a trade from a signal, fees, and withdrawing profits.

• Trade log: a "Log a trade" 4-step wizard. Pick symbol + side, fill entry / SL / TP and watch the R-multiple update live with a visual price ladder, set risk + outcome, save. The spreadsheet stays for browsing; the wizard is the new way to enter.
• Holdr: brand-new portfolio hero with a live composition donut chart and a per-coin breakdown grid. New 3-step "Add holding" wizard auto-fills whichever side (fiat amount or coin amount) you leave blank using live prices.
• Empty states across both apps now show a friendly illustration + clear primary action instead of a single line of grey text.
• /app: a one-time welcome strip greets new accounts with three quick-tour links — trade log, Holdr, signal feed. Dismissible; never returns.
• Polish: smooth wizard slide-in, save-pulse animation on freshly-added rows.

• Drop your email in the homepage hero, click "Create free account" — a 3-step wizard takes it from there. No 3-field wall of text on screen one.
• Step 1: email + password. Step 2: first name (skip if you'd rather not). Step 3: two quick questions about which crypto you trade and how long you've been at it (skip too — both fully optional).
• Email mistakes are fixable mid-flow now. Skip buttons mean you can finish in 30 seconds if you want.

• The whole platform now leads with the free account. Homepage CTA: "Create free account." Inside, you've got a trade log, a portfolio tracker, the full tools cluster, and weekly performance recaps — none of it costs anything.
• Pricing page rebuilt: free plan + paid plan side by side, a 6 / 12 month toggle (12 saves $100), and an "earn it back" calculator that shows how the math looks at your account size.
• Live signals page now shows a real-looking locked preview — same table you'd see as a subscriber, but every price is asterisks. Click the lock to see pricing.
• Trade log: when you log your first trade, a "from the moment you started logging" card surfaces showing what our strategy did over the same window — your numbers, our numbers, side by side. No upgrade banner; the comparison speaks for itself.
• Account page: notification toggles for live signals and drawdown alerts are visibly locked unless you're subscribed. Weekly summary stays free for everyone. Pushover setup is hidden until you have a paid plan — no clutter.
• Subscribe page: random amount per invoice (e.g. $249.07, $250.21) so concurrent payments don't collide, plus a clear cancel button and 5-step payment instructions with the Tron-only network warning highlighted.
• Settings is gone — everything's at /account now.
• Menu has a Subscribe button in gold for free users — extra one-tap shortcut to /pricing.
• Trade log mobile: Date / Symbol / Side / Status come first on phones; prices scroll right. Symbol field has autocomplete for the top 30 crypto tickers.
• Polish: every row-delete icon is the standard × close icon now, not a trash can.

• The floating button on the homepage and the sticky header CTA now adapt to who you are. New visitors see "Get trading alerts" and the path takes them to free signup, then straight into the live signal feed. Signed-in non-subscribers see "Unlock alerts" → pricing. Subscribers see "Live signals" → the feed.
• Less cold-pricing-page first contact, more product-led flow.

• Live signals are running, so the "Join waitlist" CTAs across the platform are retired.
• Landing page hero, sticky header, and bottom CTA all link to /pricing now.
• Every blog post and tool page shows an auth-aware "Live trade signals" card — anonymous gets See pricing + Free signup; signed-in subscribers see no card at all.
• Every converter page shows a small subscription card instead of an email-capture form.
• Russian + Indonesian translations updated.

• The six new subscription pages now use the same burger menu as the rest of the platform — Pricing, Signals, Holdr, Trade log, Account, Subscribe. Cross-page navigation, profile, settings, and logout all reachable from the menu instead of inline header links.

• The paid signal feed at /signals is live. Subscribers see every BTC / ETH / SOL / XRP signal the moment it fires, with full entry / stop / target / R-multiple. Pushover delivery on the same instant.
• Pricing at /pricing — $250 / 6 months or $400 / year. USDT-Tron only. No monthly billing, no card on file. No refunds, but if we ever suspend the feed your time pauses.
• A new free Holdr at /holdr — a portfolio tracker with live BTC / ETH / SOL / XRP prices. Log every coin you bought or sold and watch what your stack is worth right now.
• A new free trade log at /log — journal your own trades, watch your win-rate and average R unfold over time, export as CSV. With at least 25 active subscribers, a "How you compare" card appears below your log so you can see your numbers next to ours last 30 days.
• A new account page at /account — set up Pushover delivery, configure a custom drawdown alert that pings you when your equity drops 30% from peak, manage your subscription.
• Docs covering all of this — see /docs/signals, /docs/holdr, /docs/trade-log, /docs/account, /docs/payments.

• /tools/btc-dca-backtest — pick a monthly amount and a start month, see exactly what disciplined Bitcoin DCA would have done. Total invested, current value, profit, ROI, CAGR, avg buy price, plus an equity-curve chart of dollars-in vs portfolio value.
• Tasks (admin): fixed a bug in the Sort tab where typing through a long line produced multiple partial-save versions of the same line as separate items. Save logic now correctly distinguishes our own writes from cross-device conflicts.

• A long-form post on why dollar trade journals are misleading and how R-multiples (multiples of risk per trade) are the only metric that compounds cleanly across position sizes and account stages. Includes a live "convert dollar trades to R" widget. Drips into the queue per the 10-hour cadence rule.

• /tools/losing-streak-odds — type a win rate, total trades, and streak length, see the actual probability of hitting that cold streak somewhere across the run. The answers are bigger than your gut tells you.
• /legal, blog posts, and crypto-crypto converter pages now use the same 1180px width as everything else — content column no longer jumps when you navigate between pages.
• BTC logo on the /tools hub redrawn (the previous path looked crooked).

• Homepage now uses the same 1180px max width as every other content page — gutters scale identically across the platform.
• Perp PnL calculator: dropped the LONG/SHORT side toggle. Inputs renamed to "Bought at" and "Sold at" — fill them in the way you actually transacted, the math handles direction by sign. Cleaner, fewer clicks.
• Hub-card crypto orbs on /tools now use real SVG logos (Bitcoin's B with crossbars, Ethereum diamond, Solana stripes, XRP curves) instead of text glyphs.

• Every content page (blog, tools, changelog, docs, tasks, investor, trading) now uses the same 1180px max width — content fills the screen on smaller windows and stays comfortable on big ones.
• Page gutters scale with viewport everywhere — 10px on tight phones to 22px on desktop, smooth in between.
• Crypto-fiat converter hub card on /tools redesigned — 4 brand-coloured crypto glyphs (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP) with their own particle clouds, matching the homepage's orbital style.

• Icon strokes are now 1px across the platform — menu hamburger, search icons, dock glyphs, FAQ chevrons, navigation arrows. Matches the calmer, finer brand voice. Chart lines kept their existing weights so price plots stay readable.

• The Legal page is now linked from the footer of the homepage, blog, tools, and updates pages — not from the main menu. Same page, less prominent placement.
• Admin world map on /insights got proper continent shapes — actually looks like a world map now.

• The floating waitlist button on the homepage now appears on mobile from the moment the page loads, not only after scrolling past the hero.
• Recent signals on the homepage always show real activity from the last 30 days plus a locked preview of the older 12-month history — the section never looks empty even on quiet weeks.
• Page gutters now scale with the viewport — 10px on tight phones, 22px on desktop, smooth in between. Applies across /tools, /blog, converter pages, blog posts, and other content surfaces.

• New floating search bar at the bottom of /tools and /tools/converters — type any crypto, fiat, pair, or tool name and jump straight there. Works the same as the blog search.
• Fiat rates now refresh every hour instead of every 12 hours. More accurate for volatile currencies like the ruble, rupiah, lira, and real.
• The "Crypto-fiat converters" hub card on /tools got a visual refresh — floating currency-symbol constellation in the background, cleaner live-rate pills, prominent "See all 48 pairs" call-to-action.

• BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP against the Russian ruble now have a Russian-language variant at /tools/ru/btc-to-rub (and the three siblings) — title, hero, intro, and FAQ are in Russian, regional context stays in English.
• Same shape for the Rupiah pages — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP against IDR have an Indonesian variant at /tools/id/btc-to-idr and siblings.
• Both English and localized pages declare hreflang for each other so search engines know they're the same page in different languages.
• Sitemap and Bing/Yandex submission updated with the 8 new URLs.

• India 30% tax + 1% TDS — how the rules actually work, and why the framework reshaped the Indian crypto market.
• Turkey lira-hedge — why Turks use crypto as a savings tool, and how the rules treat it.
• Japan crypto tax — why gains can be taxed at up to 55% under the miscellaneous-income framework.
• Australia 12-month CGT discount — how the 50% discount works, and what the ATO knows about your activity.
• EU MiCA framework — what the regulation actually changed, and how member-state taxes still vary.
• All 10 regional posts now publish on a staggered schedule across April 28 → May 24 — one every 2-3 days rather than a single dump.
• Each post links to the matching live converter pages; the converter pages link back. INR / TRY / JPY / AUD / EUR pages now show "Related reading" cross-links too.

• How to buy Bitcoin in Indonesia — exchanges, bank rails, and Bappebti tax rules.
• Ethereum tax in the UK — HMRC framework, allowances, and reporting.
• The kimchi premium explained — why Korean BTC trades higher than the rest of the world.
• How Russia's crypto market reorganized after 2022 sanctions — P2P shift, RUB pricing, mining rails.
• Brazil's R$35,000 monthly tax exemption — how the small-sales rule actually works.
• Each post links to the matching live converter page (BTC → IDR, ETH → GBP, BTC → KRW, BTC → RUB, BTC → BRL); the converter pages now link back, so you can flip between live rate and regional context in one click.

• Each converter page now shows the crypto's all-time-high in the page's specific fiat (e.g. BTC ATH in rupiah, ETH ATH in won) — high-intent search target most aggregator sites only show in USD.
• Non-English-default region pages (Japanese yen, Korean won, Indonesian rupiah, Russian ruble, Indian rupee, Brazilian real, Turkish lira) now have native-language keyword phrases in the meta description so Korean speakers searching "비트코인 시세" find the BTC-KRW page even though the body is English.
• New /tools/converters hub lists all 48 pairs grouped by crypto so the converter cluster is browsable from the main /tools index.
• Plus: PAA-format question H2s on each page ("How much is 1 BTC worth in EUR today?" etc.), hreflang tags for regional English variants, and ExchangeRateSpecification structured data for AI answer engines.

• Each converter page now shows a 24h change pill (green/red) and price range under the live rate, plus a small sparkline of the last 24 hours of price action.
• Below the converter widget, a pre-calculated table of common amounts (e.g. 0.001 / 0.01 / 0.1 / 0.5 / 1 / 5 BTC at the live rate) — useful when you want a quick reference without typing into the converter.
• All driven by the existing 1-minute Phemex price feed, no new external dependencies.

• Each of the 48 converter pages now has three new sections per fiat: countries that use the currency, a brief currency history (when it was introduced, central bank, peg history), and how that country/region approaches crypto culturally and regulatorily — Korean kimchi-premium speculation, Turkish lira-hedge utility, Japanese rule-bound conservatism, Indian P2P workarounds, Indonesian remittance use, etc.
• Every converter page now has a small green waitlist card: drop your email, get notified when live trading alerts ship. Same waitlist as the homepage, dedups across both surfaces.
• When alerts launch, the card copy will switch from "Get trading alerts when they ship" to "Get live alerts" — same email pipe, different copy.

• Every BTC/ETH/SOL/XRP price in 12 major fiats now has its own page: USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, CAD, INR, IDR, RUB, BRL, TRY, KRW. URL pattern is /tools/<crypto>-to-<fiat>. Each page has its own live rate, bidirectional converter, regional context (exchanges and tax shape for that fiat), and a 5-question FAQ tailored to that pair.
• Live USD-fiat rates refresh every 12 hours from a free public API; crypto-USD comes from the same Phemex feed the trading dashboard uses.
• All 48 pages auto-included in sitemap and pinged to IndexNow (Bing, Yandex, Naver, Seznam) on deploy.

• The list now shows ~6 rows by default; scroll for the rest of the window. Fade-edge hints at top and bottom.
• Taken trades pull from up to 90 days back so winners are always present in the merged list, even if the last 30 days have been skip-heavy. Skipped/expired/cancelled events still cap at 30 days. Sorted newest-first overall.

• New /legal page at https://retired.today/legal covering terms, privacy, and how the page stays accurate. One page, three sections, no separate "click to read more" page tree.
• The page is AI-regenerated and openly says so. When the platform changes materially (new payment provider, new third-party service, new data captured), the page is rewritten and a tiny one-line notice surfaces in /app the next time you open it. No email spam, no surprise modal.
• No cookie banner — the platform sets one strictly-necessary session cookie and runs no third-party trackers, so a banner would be ceremony for nothing. The Privacy section explains exactly what's stored.
• New "Legal" link in the menu.

• The Recent signals list on the homepage now shows the actual last 30 days from the live feed instead of three real trades plus three synthetic skipped rows. Taken trades show their R outcome; skipped, expired, and cancelled signals show without their reason. Scroll the list to see the full window.
• The reason column still stays locked — that's the part the subscription unlocks alongside the entry/stop/target prices.

• Drop in two candles' OHLC and the tool tells you whether they form a true bullish or bearish engulfing — plus the body-overlap percentage and a yes/no on each of the four classical criteria.
• Live SVG redraws both candles to scale as you type, with the previous body's top and bottom marked so you can eyeball whether the current body covers them.
• Three presets (bullish / bearish / near-miss) demo each verdict in one click.

• Long read on what a market order does behind the scenes — the order book, how slippage builds level by level, and when a limit order is the better choice. The animation in the middle replays a 1.2 BTC market buy as you scroll, with the avg fill price and slippage badge updating live.

• Tapping a search result on the home screen sometimes did nothing when the app was installed to the home screen on iPhone. Navigation now fires on the press itself instead of waiting for the click event, which was racing the dropdown close timer.

• Removed the gold "Keep reading" banner that pushed you into your last in-progress post. The per-card progress bars, read checkmarks and overall read summary stay so you can still see what you've started; the page just doesn't try to send you somewhere specific anymore.

• Citation footers at the end of posts (Sources, References, Further reading) now collapse into a small expandable card so they don't compete with the closing FAQ and CTA. Click once to see the references; the in-page anchor links still work.

• Posts and tools now cross-reference each other when they cover the same topic. The post on stop-loss placement points to the position-size calculator; the post on win-rate sample size points to the Wilson interval tool; the BTC live-converter tools point back to the relevant analysis posts.
• Nine blog posts and four tools got new inline cross-links in this pass, plus a habit logged so new content always ships with the relevant pairing.

• New read: What 60 trades at 80% win rate and 2% risk actually look like. The honest equity-curve picture: 1,000 Monte-Carlo paths, the 5-95 percentile spread, the gap between the deterministic projection most strategies advertise and what any single 60-trade run actually produces. Live simulator inside the post — slide the inputs, re-roll the paths.
• Fixed: the R-multiple calculator and the Annual return projection tool were rendering with empty outputs on first load — a JS SyntaxError prevented the script from initialising. Both now work.
• Engineering: added an inline-script syntax checker to the pre-commit workflow so that class of bug can't reach production again.

• New tool: Annualized return projection from strategy stats. Type win rate, R:R, trades per year, risk per trade. Get the median expected annual return — plus 5th and 95th percentile bands from a 1,000-path Monte-Carlo so you see the range of years you're actually signing up for, not just the central estimate.
• The deterministic projection (multiply expectancy × N × risk) over-states what compounding actually delivers. The Monte-Carlo median tracks the honest geometric-mean answer.
• Re-roll button to stress-test the percentile stability.

• New tool: Perpetual futures PnL calculator (with fees). Type entry, exit, position size, leverage, fee. Get gross PnL, total fees (computed correctly against entry AND exit notionals, not just one side), net PnL, plus ROI on margin and ROI on notional side by side.
• Why both ROIs: the margin ROI is what your account experienced (leverage amplified). The notional ROI is what the underlying move actually was (invariant to leverage). They differ by exactly the leverage factor, and showing both keeps the leverage trade-off honest. Most retail calculators silently pick one and hide the other.
• Side toggle, fee presets (0.01% maker / 0.06% taker / 0.10% retail), leverage warning if you set it above 50× with the liquidation distance.

• New tool: BTC distance to all-time high. One headline percentage plus a 12-hour sparkline showing the recent path toward or away from the prior peak. Refreshes every page load.
• New tool: R-multiple calculator. Type entry, stop, exit. Get the gain or loss as a multiple of the risk taken. The unit that lets you compare trades meaningfully across position sizes and instruments — what serious trade journals log instead of dollars.
• Homepage tools strip now shows 4 tools at a time instead of 3 — fits the grid better.
• Fixed: the "Latest reads" section on the homepage was stuck on Loading… for everyone. A widget tag referenced inside a JavaScript comment was getting substituted with its full HTML, which broke the script. Tightened the rule and the homepage works again.

• New tool: Required reward-to-risk ratio to break even at any win rate. One slider for win rate; the curve and the hero number show the smallest R:R your trades have to clear before edge starts. Pre-cost math, plus a contextual verdict per regime (low-win trend territory / balanced / high-win mean-reversion).
• Fixed: six interactive widgets across the blog and the latest tool were overflowing on mobile because of fixed-pixel-width labels with no breakpoint. All six now stack cleanly on narrow screens.
• Fixed: the position-size calculator was showing empty outputs on first load — now ships with sensible defaults so the four output cards populate immediately.
• Fixed: a wording error in the 80%-win-rate post claimed the math "forbids" certain win-rate / R:R combinations. The math constrains the geometric baseline; real edge loosens it. The post now states the constraint accurately.
• Changelog: future-dated entries no longer appear publicly until their date arrives — keeps the changelog in sync with scheduled tool/blog releases.

• New tool: Win rate confidence interval calculator. Type wins and total trades. Get the actual range your true win rate could be hiding inside given your sample. Uses the Wilson score interval (more honest than the textbook formula at small samples or extreme proportions).
• A 95% confidence band around the observed rate plus a five-tier verdict that says whether your sample size is too small, suggestive, reasonable, solid, or strong.
• Tools also pick up a 10-hour cadence going forward — same rule the blog uses — so the index doesn't whiplash with five at once. Scheduled for later today; goes live automatically.

• New tool: Crypto position size calculator. Type your account size, risk percentage, entry, and stop. Get the exact position size to take so a stop-out loses no more than the chosen percent. With auto-detected direction, dollar notional, stop distance, dollars at risk, and contextual warnings for over-aggressive risk (above 5%) or excessive leverage (above 10x).
• Risk presets: 0.5 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 5%. Defaults to a 2% workflow.

• Auto-resume: when you re-open a blog or tool post you've started, the page now scrolls you straight to where you left off — including from the "Continue reading" banner on /blog. A small toast confirms with a "back to top" link if you'd rather start over.
• Share button: every blog and tool post has a Share button in the header. On phones (and supporting desktops) it opens the native share sheet with the post's preview image; otherwise it copies the link with a "Copied" confirmation.
• Account-synced reading state: if you're signed in, your read progress and "marked as read" badges now sync across devices via the server. Anonymous reading still works the same way locally and merges into your account when you sign up.
• Pill copy: the progress pill on /blog cards now reads "Read 42%" instead of just "42%" — clearer at a glance, on both mobile and desktop.

• The "A specific entry window" guardrail card now spans the full width on desktop (was orphaned in the right-hand column).
• The "What an alert looks like" preview now fills the section width instead of sitting at 520px.
• The "Recent signals" section is now one merged list of 6 events — a mix of taken trades (real outcomes) and skipped setups (rule-driven), with the reason blurred for both. No more two-table split.
• The "Not financial advice" disclaimer is now the absolute last thing on the page, below the footer copyright.

• New tool: BTC → EUR live converter. Live BTC price in EUR with the same instrument-panel feel as the others — quiet 12-hour sparkline, two-way converter, six BTC presets including the 21 BTC milestone. Completes the BTC/ETH × USD/EUR grid alongside BTC→USD and ETH→EUR.

• New tool: BTC → USD live converter. Live BTC price in USD from Phemex spot, a quiet 12-hour sparkline, and a two-way converter. Six presets including 21 BTC for the satoshi-million milestone. Same shape as the ETH→EUR converter without the FX leg.
• Fixed: the ETH→EUR converter was silently clearing the EUR field when you typed an ETH amount. Cause: number formatting added thousand-separators (commas) which <input type="number"> rejects. Both directions now use comma-free decimals.

• /tools index is now an instrument-panel layout — each tool has a monospace mark on the left (Ξ€ for ETH→EUR, €t for save-to-buy, etc.) and a compact body. Removed the description paragraph and tag pills. Distinct from the blog list on purpose: tools are things you use, not things you read.
• Homepage tools strip now embeds live data inside the cards instead of a static blurb. The ETH→EUR card shows the current price, 12h change, and a tiny sparkline; the save-to-buy card shows a representative timeline as a teaser. The cards peek at the tool before you click.
• Live indicator dot (● live) on cards whose state actually moves.

• New tool: ETH → EUR live converter. Live ETH price in EUR with a quiet 12-hour sparkline and a two-way converter. Type any amount in either side and the other updates immediately. Six presets including the 32-ETH validator threshold. Updates each page load.
• The argument the tool is making: the ETH/EUR price you see anywhere is always a derived number — ETH/USDT × USD/EUR — and different apps use different rates for the FX leg. The converter shows what rate is being applied so the math is transparent.

• New read: What an 80% win rate forces you to give up. The five concrete things a high-winrate strategy is mathematically forced to trade away — reward size, tail-event vulnerability, cost-floor margin, sample-size demands to detect degradation, and psychological asymmetry. Includes the geometric proof that an 80% win rate caps reward-to-risk at 1:0.25, the typical equity-curve shape with cliff drawdowns, and when a high-winrate strategy is genuinely the right answer (market-making, capital-retention contexts, traders who need frequent feedback).
• Trade-off explorer widget — one slider for win rate. Outputs forced R:R, how many wins a single loss erases, probability of a loss in the next 10 trades, sample size needed to detect a 5-percentage-point strategy break, cost-floor share of gross win, and equity-curve skew direction. Each metric colour-coded by severity.
• Cites Taleb's Black Swan, Mandelbrot's (Mis)behavior of Markets, Bookstaber on financial-system risk, Vince and Pardo on the math of trade evaluation.

• New read: Win rate, profit factor, expectancy — the three numbers and which one to ignore. Every backtest report shows three performance metrics. Two of them can look great while the strategy loses money. The math of what each measures, three worked-out scenarios where they disagree completely, and the one metric that actually survives the move from spreadsheet to live trading. Plus how Sharpe, Sortino, and Calmar fit in for sizing decisions.
• Trade-outcome calculator — paste a list of wins and losses (or pick a preset: scalper, balanced, trend, negative-edge). Get all three metrics + extras + a colour-coded verdict on whether the strategy has real edge or is just optically profitable.
• Cites Tharp's Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom (the book that popularised expectancy in retail trading), Vince's Mathematics of Money Management, Pardo's standard text on backtest evaluation, the original 1966 Sharpe paper, and Lo's 2002 paper on how Sharpe ratios get inflated by small samples.

• New read: Why mean reversion wins more often than trend following. Two valid trading edges with completely different win-rate signatures and identical long-run expectancy. Walks the DeBondt-Thaler reversal research, Jegadeesh-Titman momentum, Asness-Moskowitz-Pedersen value-and-momentum-everywhere, the Hurst century-of-evidence study, and the regime-dependence that punishes mean reversion in trending markets and punishes trend in ranging ones.
• Live Monte-Carlo simulator — slide trade count, win rate, and edge. Watch both equity curves diverge in shape while converging in result. Re-roll to see how variable the path is even at fixed underlying probabilities.
• Fixed: seven recent posts had illustrative SVG diagrams that were rendering as raw text instead of as the actual chart. Wrapped them in the right fence — diagrams now display correctly.

• New read: Today's BTC in one number — the anti-candle-chart approach. The case for low-resolution price displays. Walks Tufte's data-ink ratio applied to candle charts (typically 5-10% — most pixels are decoration), the cognitive-load cost of high-density displays, and the research showing simplified balance displays produce fewer panicked allocation decisions in volatile periods.
• Live widget at the top of the post — the actual current BTC price, direction over the last 12 hours, change in dollars and percent, and a range bar showing where the current price sits within the 12h band. Renders fresh each page load. The argument the post is making, demonstrated.
• Cites Tufte's Visual Display of Quantitative Information, Stephen Few on dashboard design, Sweller's 1988 cognitive-load theory paper, and the Lurie & Mason 2007 paper on visual representation in financial decisions.

• New read: Where to put the stop loss — and what it costs your win rate. The geometry that decides every win rate before any analysis does — wider stops produce higher win rates with smaller average wins; tight stops do the opposite, and the expected value at every setting is the same unless your strategy adds real edge. Covers the four common placement methods (fixed-distance, ATR-based, structure-based, volatility-targeted) plus why obvious stops get hunted and why trailing/break-even stops usually reduce expectancy.
• Stop-distance simulator — slide stop %, target %, edge above the geometric baseline, and round-trip cost. Watch win rate, avg R per trade, and per-trade expectancy move together with a contextual verdict for each configuration.
• Cites Welles Wilder's original ATR formulation, Lo & MacKinlay on technical-level predictability, and Kissell on liquidity-pool stop-hunt mechanics.

• New read: How many trades before a win rate is real. Why a 16-and-4 record doesn't mean an 80% win rate — it means a guess with a ±18 percentage point error bar around that 80%. The funnel of how confidence narrows with sample size (±18% at 20 trades, ±8% at 100, ±3.5% at 500), the doubling rule heuristic, and how to compare two strategies properly.
• Confidence-interval calculator — type in wins and total trades, see the actual range your true win rate sits inside with 95% confidence. Uses the Wilson score interval, which doesn't break down at small samples or extreme proportions like the simpler formulas do.
• Cites Kahneman & Tversky's 1971 paper on the "law of small numbers", the original Wilson 1927 paper, the 2001 Statistical Science review of interval methods, and Taleb's Fooled by Randomness.

• New read: The minimum edge that survives commissions and slippage. The two costs every strategy pays — exchange fees on the way in and out, plus a smaller cut to the order book each side — and how much edge per trade you actually need just to break even. Real Phemex perp numbers (0.01% maker, 0.06% taker), realistic retail slippage, and three worked examples showing why three strategies all with 80% win rates can end up profitable, neutral, or money-losing depending on the size of the average move.
• Edge-after-cost calculator — six sliders (win rate, avg win/loss, trades per year, order mix, slippage). Tells you what your strategy's net per-trade edge is after the round-trip costs and what that compounds to annually, with a colour-coded verdict and advice.
• Cites Hasbrouck's Empirical Market Microstructure, Almgren-Chriss on optimal execution, Glosten-Milgrom on why bid-ask spreads exist, the BIS June 2020 liquidity review, and Phemex's official fee schedule.

• New read: FOMO trading — the 30-second checklist that catches it before you click. The neuroscience of why FOMO fires harder in trading than almost anywhere else (three reward-and-loss circuits firing simultaneously while the prefrontal cortex gets suppressed), the five behavioural signs that distinguish a FOMO entry from a planned one, and why crypto amplifies the effect compared to equities.
• Five-question checklist widget — step-by-step yes/no flow that scores any trade you're about to take. Walks you to a colour-coded verdict (clean / watch / pause / walk away) with tailored advice and a per-question breakdown of where the FOMO signals fired.
• Cites the Przybylski 2013 paper that named the phenomenon, Kahneman & Tversky on prospect theory, the Coates & Herbert London-floor cortisol study, and Andrew Lo's Adaptive Markets.

• New read: USDT is not exactly a dollar — and other things your balance hides. The three layers between a USDT balance and the fiat number your tracker shows — USDT's actual market price (which has historically dipped as low as $0.85 and risen as high as $1.05), the FX reference rate, and the per-leg exchange spread. Real depeg history with dates, the comparison with the 2023 USDC/SVB event, and a side-by-side of USDT vs USDC vs DAI vs FDUSD risk profiles.
• Conversion-path simulator — slide the USDT/USD rate, the USD/EUR rate, and per-leg exchange spread. Watch how a "ten thousand USDT" balance turns into a different number than the naive multiplication suggests, and how the gap widens during stablecoin stress.
• Cites the Wikipedia USDC entry, ECB and Open Exchange Rates as common FX sources for crypto trackers, and the Lyons & Viswanath-Natraj stablecoin paper.

• New read: Confirmation bias on charts and how to disagree with yourself. Why a chart starts looking like whatever trade you've already half-decided to take, the three patterns the bias shows up as (indicator shopping, news-after-thesis, candlestick pareidolia), and a four-step protocol borrowed from intelligence-analysis tradecraft for disagreeing with yourself before you click.
• Bias-flip widget — same price line, two annotation layers. Toggle between BULL and BEAR and watch the chart "tell" you opposite stories. Cleanest way to see your own bias is to watch it fire on demand.
• Cites Wason's 1960 selection task, Nickerson's 1998 review, the 1979 Stanford biased-assimilation study, the CIA's Heuer (Analysis of Competing Hypotheses), and Tetlock's Superforecasting.

• New read: Where BTC sat for the longest today. A live time-at-price histogram of the last 12 hours of BTC, with the four kinds of price levels that hold attention (round numbers, recent extremes, liquidity clusters, moving-average convergence) and the academic research behind the round-number-magnetism effect.
• The histogram redraws every time you reload the page — magnetic level today won't be magnetic level tomorrow.
• Cites Harris (Review of Financial Studies 1991), Sopranzetti & Datar (2002), and Donaldson & Kim (JFQA 1993).

• New read: How long it actually takes to get over a losing trade. The research-backed recovery window after a loss, why "I feel fine" is unreliable for about an hour, and the math of why the next trade is more dangerous than the one you just lost. Cites Coates & Herbert (London trading-floor cortisol study, PNAS 2008) and Andrew Lo's Adaptive Markets.
• Includes a "wait-at-least-this-long" calculator — three inputs (loss size, stress level, streak yes/no), gives you a defensible minimum minutes before the next setup.
• Recovery curve SVG showing where "I feel fine" lands inside the still-impaired zone.

• New read: Why most traders lose money — the five mental traps that cause it. The five cognitive biases — loss aversion, anchoring, confirmation, recency, overconfidence — that actually cause most retail trading losses, with the research behind each, the chart-side symptom, and the one structural fix that consistently works.
• Self-assessment widget at the bottom — five short questions, one per trap. Tells you which one fires loudest in your own head so you know which fix matters most for you.
• Custom SVG of the Kahneman & Tversky value function showing why losses register at roughly 2× the magnitude of equivalent gains.

• The landing page is rebuilt around the strategy. Win rate, average R, drawdown, every trade in the 2-year backtest, an interactive calculator, the trade lifecycle drawn out — same numbers we'd show in private, now public.
• Waiting list. Drop your email at the bottom and you'll be told the day the trade signal feed goes live. No payment now. The dashboard, trade log, and price/swap alerts will stay free.
• Tagline: "We're retired today. What about you?"

Retired Today is now a crypto-trading dashboard. We found a strategy that's worked for us and we're opening up the tooling around it — log your trades, track a portfolio, get price and long-term swap alerts. Our live trade signals will eventually be available as a paid feed; everything else is free.

You can sign up free now to take a spot on the waiting list for the signal feed. No payment.

• Tightened the "About N more minutes" phrase on the Keep-reading banner. It now reads as one phrase, not three scattered words.
• Read state stays in your browser as before. It updates automatically when you scroll through a post — nothing to manage.

• Tightened the "About N more minutes" spacing on the Keep-reading banner. Now reads as one phrase, not three scattered words.

• "Keep reading" banner on the blog. If you started a post and didn't finish, the top of the page shows the one you left off on — title, a big percentage, a progress bar, and roughly how many minutes you have left. One tap and you're back in.
• Percentage pill on each card. In-progress posts now show a gold NN% in the corner — much easier to glance at than the thin bar at the bottom.
• Live progress chip on the post you're reading. A small NN% pill tucks in the top-right corner as you scroll, so you always know where you are without looking down.
• All of it still lives in your browser — nothing synced yet, nothing shared.

• Tools is live — a small library of interactive pages that do one thing and get out of the way. Calculators, converters, references. No padding, no fluff, no loading screens.
• First tool: How long to save to buy it outright. Pick Bitcoin, a Porsche, a small house, or type your own number. Pick what you can save per month. See the answer in years-and-months, the end date, and what % of income that is. No loans, no financing tricks — just the real number.
• Different from the blog on purpose. Blog posts explain; tools give you a number. Each tool is focused enough to bookmark and use again.
• Every tool page has a FAQ at the bottom for the edge cases, and lives at its own short URL so you can share it directly.

• Thin gold progress bar at the top of every post page, filling as you scroll. Hits the bottom, turns green, a small "Marked as read ✓" toast confirms — and that's logged in your browser so the blog remembers next time.
• ✓ badge on posts you've finished. On in-progress ones, a slim bar at the bottom of the card shows how far you got. The card dims slightly once a post is marked read, so the unread ones stand out.
• "Read X of Y" summary chip at the top of the blog index. Small nudge.
• All of this lives in your browser only — no account needed.

• New read: BTC and ETH move together, except when they don't. How to read a normalised dual-line chart, why the two coins are usually so tightly correlated, the three ways they diverge, and how long each type of divergence typically lasts.
• Live dual-line chart at the top of the post — same 2.5-minute price sampling as the London-session post, different view. Both lines rebased to 0% at the start of a 12-hour window so you can compare relative performance at a glance.
• Peak-divergence marker shows the widest gap during the window, with a leading/trailing indicator in the stats row.

• New read: The London session runs crypto, not New York. What the "London session" actually is, why 3am–9am ET moves crypto more than any other window, and a live chart of today's BTC path in exactly that window.
• The chart in the post is genuinely live — BTC price from this site's own 2.5-minute sampling, refreshed every time you reload the page. Session high, low, open, close, range, and direction all update automatically.
• First post to pull live market data into the body. The same pattern unlocks future pieces on volatility, session handoffs, and whatever else the data shows.

• Floating search on the blog — opens on any blog page. Searches titles, descriptions, and headings across every post. Keyboard-navigable (↑/↓/Enter).
• Reading time on each post — quick glance for whether to read now or save for later.
• "Read next" block at the bottom of each post — surfaces related posts sharing tags, with their social card as the thumbnail.
• RSS feed at /blog/rss.xml for anyone using a reader, plus auto-discovery link in the blog head.
• Deeper SEO groundwork — FAQ schema on posts that have one, breadcrumb schema site-wide, images in the sitemap. None of this is visible on the page but it all helps the blog show up in search.

• Fixed blog social cards — the first version rendered the background and shapes but not any text, because the server didn't have any fonts available. Now ships Victor Mono with the site so every card has the title, description, and tag labels.
• RT mark on each card is back to the proper logo shape (was rendering as disconnected pieces).
• General tidy on the card layout — cleaner wordmark with a gold divider, better typographic balance.

• Every blog post now gets its own custom social card — unique 1200×630 image generated from the post's title and tags, so sharing a link on Slack, iMessage, X, or anywhere else shows the article's own preview instead of a generic site icon.
• Hero image at the top of each post. Same card you'd share on social is now the banner on the post page itself, with alt text for screen readers.
• Short, clean URLs. Posts use short keyword-focused slugs (e.g. /blog/london-session-crypto) instead of long descriptive ones. Easier to share, easier to remember.
• Sign-up buttons that know you. If you're already signed in, CTAs in blog posts now say "Open the dashboard" instead of "Sign up". No more being nagged to create an account you already have.

• Settings page now has its own Docs entry — the "How it works" link in the Settings menu actually goes somewhere now.
• Logo mark in every in-app header is now the white RT glyph (no dark square around it).
• Header titles made consistent across pages — no more redundant bold "Retired X" heading below the brand.
• Mobile layout scales horizontal padding smoothly from 20px down to 5px as the screen narrows, instead of snapping at one breakpoint.

• Dashboard now self-heals. If the server process ever crashes mid-session (the "Application failed to respond" page), it restarts itself within 3 seconds. No more manual redeploy.
• Added proper error logging so we can track down the actual crash cause next time it happens.

• The Timeline sidebar on /changelog now groups entries under little date headers — see at a glance how much shipped on a given day.

• "On this page" sidebar on every post now — sticky list of section headers on desktop (highlights as you scroll), inline card on mobile.
• Fixed the user-count number on the first post (was showing 0 — now counts every account, not just self-signups).

• Admins can now publish, schedule, or unpublish posts from the editorial dashboard at /creator without editing markdown by hand.

A new blog at /blog — notes on crypto, market structure, and using simple tools to live a simpler life.

• Browse posts at /blog, filter by topic via the tag pills, or jump straight to a category page like /blog/tag/crypto.
• Latest posts now show on the home page — three most recent, automatically.
• The blog is fully indexed — posts are SSR with proper meta + JSON-LD so search engines can find every page. No newsletter, no follow prompt; visit when you want.

Posts are written with AI assistance — the disclaimer in the footer of every post says so. The platform itself is written by hand.

• New install guide at /docs/install — step-by-step for iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac (Safari), and desktop browsers. The install prompt that pops up on the site now points there too.
• Updates page got a sidebar. On desktop, every release is now in a vertical timeline on the left — click to jump, the active entry tracks as you scroll. Mobile keeps the existing "Jump to update" card.

On mobile, Retired Docs and Retired Updates now show a gold-tinted "On this page" card at the top — a compact scrollable list of sections (Docs) or updates (Updates) to jump to. Shows about 5 rows by default, scrolls if there are more. Hidden on desktop, where the sidebar already covers it.

• The docs page is now called Retired Docs (page title, heading, brand wordmark).
• The changelog page is now Retired Updates.
• Both pages keep a pinned header as you scroll so the menu is always one tap away.

The header on Retired Docs and Retired Updates stays pinned at the top while you scroll, and it no longer sits behind the iOS status bar in standalone PWAs. Small thing; much easier to reach the menu from anywhere on the page.

• Retired Docs — per-app sidebar nav with a built-in search bar (press /). Every part of the platform gets a page here.
• Retired Updates — the timeline you're reading. Tag filters, dated entries, deep-linkable.

Both pages are public and linked from the menu under Learn.

A subtle toast appears at the bottom of every page when a new version of Retired Today has been deployed. Tap it to refresh — no more wondering why your screen looks different from your friend's.
