Cold-Blooded Mathematics Work in progress

Cold-Blooded Mathematics // C13M.com

Market claims, checked against every trading day.

Win rates, “key levels”, can't-miss setups: trading is full of numbers nobody checks. We test them on every trading day, not the handful that make a good screenshot, and publish what holds up and what doesn't. No signals. No hype. Facts side by side, so you make your own call.

New, free: The Math of Enough. What $100 a day adds up to over a year, and why the same average can end the year very differently.

The Dissection Free Monthly

The Dissection, November 2026: Who's paying for the midterms?

The Dissection, November 2026: Who's paying for the midterms? $137 million in crypto super PAC spending; a third of it into one Ohio Senate race; 98% of Fairshake's donations from three donors; $23 million on one Manhattan House primary.

Crypto and AI super PAC money, followed through the FEC filings: who's paying, who it's helping, and what they want from the next Congress.

The Dissection is a monthly deep dive built from primary public documents (company filings, official reports, published price lists and terms), with every claim linked to its source. Each issue takes one subject apart; after each earnings season it also carries a short AI-financing check-in.

The Math of Enough

A daily-target calculator over 252 trading days, and a labeled model of two traders with the same average per trade: how often each ends a year down, and how often one is wiped out. Plain arithmetic, in your browser.

What we're building

We're starting with the S&P 500 (SPX and SPY) and adding more as each one passes the same tests. This site is being built in the open; these tools are in testing and not yet open to the public.

In testing

The Morning Brief

Before the open: the levels to watch, the day's events, and what yesterday's numbers got right and wrong.

In testing

The Dispatch

A morning map of outstanding S&P 500 options contracts (open interest), and how often price has reacted at levels like them.

In testing

The Weekend Review

The week in plain numbers: what moved, what held, and what changed in the bigger picture.

04 // How we work

The rules we hold ourselves to

  1. Every trading day counts.No cherry-picked days, no hidden losing months. If the data has it, the test uses it.
  2. Tests are written down before they run.So you can compare the question we asked with what we actually tested.
  3. Misses get published too.When an idea fails the test, we show it and work out why: the conditions it needs, what it costs, and where it breaks.
  4. Research, not advice.The same numbers for everyone. We never tell anyone what to buy or sell.
