The EskiSignal Framework
Every EskiSignal article follows one analytical framework:
Source → Signal → Context → Uncertainty → What to Watch Next
We do not start with a conclusion. We start with what a verifiable source confirms, identify the signal that source represents, add broader market context, acknowledge what remains uncertain, and point to the next observable data point.
How We Identify Catalysts
A catalyst is a specific, source-confirmed event or data point that coincides with a market move. We use the following hierarchy:
- Primary confirmation: Official filing, earnings release, government data, exchange announcement, or central bank statement that directly explains the move.
- Secondary context: Market reaction data (volume, sector correlation, VIX, options activity) that supports the primary catalyst.
- Pattern overlay: Historical context — does this type of event typically produce this type of reaction?
If no primary source confirms a catalyst, we say: “No confirmed catalyst was found at the time of writing.” We do not invent reasons.
How We Handle Uncertainty
Market signals are probabilistic, not deterministic. EskiSignal content uses language that reflects this:
| We use | We avoid |
|---|---|
| “The move appears tied to…” | “This proves…” |
| “Traders may be reacting to…” | “Will definitely go up…” |
| “The data suggests…” | “Guaranteed to…” |
| “One possible explanation…” | “The only reason is…” |
| “Source shows… as of [date]” | “Everyone knows that…” |
Why We Don’t Give Buy/Sell Advice
EskiSignal covers YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) financial topics. Personalized financial advice requires a licensed professional who knows your specific goals, risk tolerance, tax situation, and time horizon. EskiSignal knows none of these things about our readers.
Explaining why a stock moved is informational. Telling a reader to buy that stock is advice. We do the former; we never do the latter.
Data Delays and Limitations
Market data on EskiSignal may be delayed by 15 minutes or more depending on the source. Intraday prices, liquidation totals, and on-chain figures can change rapidly. We note data timing where known and link to real-time primary sources so readers can verify current figures themselves.
Conflicting Sources
When data providers disagree — different yield figures, different liquidation totals, different dividend amounts across aggregators — we note the conflict explicitly and reference the most authoritative primary source. We do not pick the number that fits a narrative.
