  "account": "The LAB tab on gex.live now features a new rightmost rail called IDEA FEED. This feed is a stream of short, rule-shaped trading ideas about SPX dealer positioning, collected daily by a scanner from the discussions people actually have. The ideas are rewritten into a format that the Lab compiler can understand and then published without any testing. This lack of testing is a key feature, as the feed refuses to provide any verifiable statistics like win rates or success percentages. Each card in the feed simply states that the idea has been translated into a rule that the compiler can run without errors and that it has not yet been tested against the archive. If you want to try the idea, one click adds it to the Lab conveyor, and the compiler handles the translation. Running the backtest costs one Lab credit, but if you don't have any credits, the button will change to show how many credits you have remaining and allow you to try again later. There are no source attributions on the cards, and the feed is updated daily with new ideas from the scanner. The archive contains over 1,000 completed SPX sessions, and the Lab tests each idea against all of them using an out-of-sample split, revealing that very few ideas survive. This honest test is what sets this feed apart from others, as it allows anyone to run the ideas themselves without any pre-assigned success rates or assumptions about market behavior.",

It is a stream of short, rule-shaped trading ideas about SPX dealer positioning — \"fade the first touch of the call wall after a gap up\", that kind of thing — collected daily by a scanner from what people actually discuss, rewritten into something the Lab compiler can parse, and published untested .…",
