November 12, 2026 — Prismatic Algos is announcing the Algo Consistency Index (ACI), a publicly accessible research dashboard designed to help algorithmic traders examine recent conditions for trend/breakout, mean-reversion and session-clock strategies. The ACI section and two companion guides were added to PrismaticAlgos.com on November 6, 2026.
The index gives traders a framework for investigating whether an algorithm's recent results coincide with changes in reference patterns, account-panel performance or measured market conditions. It is a descriptive research tool. Its published tests have not established that the current readings predict future strategy returns or improve position-sizing and trading-halt decisions.
ACI's reference layer uses twelve frozen textbook trading recipes across seventeen symbols with stated cost assumptions and random-entry comparisons. These probe results are hypothetical. Separate cards report account-panel observations, descriptive market-state features, benchmark-relative comparisons and an external panel of hypothetical model-account records. The sources are labeled separately so readers can distinguish simulated research from account observations.
A public methodology records the validation questions, results and limitations. The research includes an internal trend-family tracking result with limited scope, failed external-family tracking tests, and unsuccessful forecasting and trading-overlay tests. The proposed sizing multiplier was removed from the product on October 28, 2026.
The dashboard also exposes data dates and coverage limitations. Recent external-panel observations can be revised as strategies report, and some layers can lag publication. Readers are encouraged to check each card's as-of date, sample size and methodology before drawing conclusions.
ACI is intended for research reviews, performance investigations and maintaining a dated record of strategy conditions. It does not provide an automatic instruction to buy, sell, increase leverage or halt a trading system.
The dashboard and methodology are available at https://thecryptocrat.github.io/algo-consistency-index/ . Information about Prismatic Algos is available at https://prismaticalgos.com/ .
