Financial astrology is not one method. It is a set of competing schools, each with its own inputs, time horizon and way of delivering results. We reviewed the most established of them, tested their core inputs against gold market data, and built our engine from the parts that held up.
For each school: how it works, how it reaches readers, what we took from it, and why it cannot stand alone.

Each approach's inputs were turned into a numeric score and run against a 90-day walk-forward window of gold price and macro history. A layer stayed only if it added information out of sample, after the macro and technical layers were already in the model.
No single school explained gold on its own. The combination did better than any one part.
That is why the index blends five layers instead of following one method, and combines them with a weighted score.
