Edge decays. This engine watches the live board continuously and fires when a market crosses the model's fair price — steam moves, injury repricing, prop line shifts and closing-line reports — so you know whether you beat the number or missed it.
The schedule this engine runs on. Every run writes a heartbeat, so if a cycle is late you can see it on the status board rather than guessing.
6 weighted inputs, published in full. Weights sum to 1.0 and are refit against out-of-sample periods — never against the window being reported.
Signed move per unit time since publication is measured on every tracked market.
Books moving the same direction inside five minutes separate a repricing from an error correction.
The rate at which the published edge is being priced away decides whether the value still exists.
Injury and lineup releases are matched to the move so a known cause is labelled as such.
Whether limits widened or tightened afterwards shows how confident the books are in the new number.
Every alert states how long the number is expected to remain available.
What members ask before unlocking Live Edge Alerts.
A move fast enough to matter, confirmed across enough books to rule out one book correcting itself, on a market where the published edge is either eroding or improving.
Steam confirmation counts how many books move the same way inside five minutes, and news attribution checks whether an injury or lineup release explains it. Unexplained one-book moves are usually liquidity.
No. It tells you what moved, by how much, across how many books, and how long the window is open. No alert engine knows results.
Continuously, not once a day. Its freshness window on the status board is a few hours, so a stalled scanner is flagged as degraded quickly.
Ascend publishes quantitative research, not investment or betting advice. Every published call can lose, past model performance does not predict future results, and sizing is your decision. Never risk capital you cannot afford to lose.
