Hit rate follows the benchmark's TP/SL/expiry outcome rules; it is not simply the asset's price direction at the end of the forecast horizon. The weekly and monthly metrics shown here use the 1h, 4h and 1d horizons; stability runs have their own test coverage.

Calibration

Stated confidence against realised accuracy. The pooled all-model row of the same table is printed next to Claude Opus 5's, because a gap only means something against the population it was measured in.

By asset

The Model Watch issues print a best-pairs and a worst-pairs table — the model-instrument cells that stood out in the window. Only Claude Opus 5's own rows are listed; a model that made neither list simply has no row there.

Paper trading (scored separately from prediction quality)

What a mechanical paper-trading rule made of Claude Opus 5's forecasts in the same windows. These figures are kept apart from the accuracy and calibration figures above: a model can be well calibrated and unprofitable, or profitable and badly calibrated.

Published history

Every window Claude Opus 5's slot has been published in, oldest first. Model Watch supplies the count, the hit rate, the interval and the rank; Calibration adds Brier, the gap and the mean stated confidence. The two cadences are separate tables because a month and a week are different windows over the same forecasts, and a window an older issue also filed under a superseded id keeps that reading on its own line: no issue published the two as one figure.

Each figure is the one its issue froze.

Definitions & method

Quoted from the issues these figures come from.

  • Hit. direction: exit tp1/tp2 -> hit, sl -> miss, expiry -> sign of gross pnl
  • Reading the hit rate. Hit rate follows the benchmark's TP/SL/expiry outcome rules; it is not simply the asset's price direction at the end of the forecast horizon. The weekly and monthly metrics shown here use the 1h, 4h and 1d horizons; stability runs have their own test coverage.
  • Scored pool. directional forecasts resolved inside the FH gate (1h/4h/1d) since Jul 11, at the issue cutoff
  • Gap and Brier. Gap pp = mean stated confidence minus hit-rate, in percentage points; positive means overconfident.
  • Coverage. calls scored divided by the mature calls available to that model
  • Confidence buckets. Models report confidence at discrete levels, not a continuous scale; the buckets reflect those natural breakpoints. Cells below N=10 are marked insufficient.
  • Wilson intervals. 95% Wilson CIs shown are descriptive, not inferential: observations inside one window are dependent, so read them as a range, not a formal coverage guarantee.
  • Weekly title. >=5pp gap AND non-overlapping 95% CI, N>=10
  • Paper trading. A mechanical simulation on Binance USDT-M futures, scored separately from prediction quality and reported on its own. The starting bank, the per-trade notional and the taker fee are set out on Benchmarks methodology.
