The signed-out demo at /try

What the demo actually runs

The demo is not a recording, a sample payload or a trimmed model. It calls the same analysis pipeline the paid desk calls, and renders the result through the same verdict component. A grade produced at /try is the grade the account would have produced on the same bars.

This matters more than it sounds. A demo that renders a canned result is a claim about the product rather than an instance of it, and on a financial tool that claim is unfalsifiable by the person it is aimed at. Running the real engine means the demo can be wrong in public, which is the only version of a demo worth trusting.

One thing is deliberately withheld: the risk arithmetic. Position size, dollar risk and the daily budget all derive from an account size and a risk percentage that a signed-out visitor has never given, so the demo renders the read without them rather than inventing an account to size against.

Why the demo is crypto-only

Crypto candles come from public exchange endpoints that cost nothing to call and require no key. That is genuinely free to serve to an anonymous visitor, so it is served.

Stocks, ETFs, forex and metals come from a metered vendor feed that ORIN pays for. The allowance is shared across every user, which is why those markets need an account — not as a growth tactic but because an anonymous request cannot be attributed to anyone, and an unattributable request against a metered feed is an open drain.

The refusal says so in those terms. A signed-out attempt at a stock names the metering as the reason rather than showing a generic upsell, because the reason is the truth and the truth is more persuasive than the upsell.

The demo allowance

The demo grants 1 chart per calendar day, counted against the visitor's own local date and stored in their browser. It is deliberately not the account allowance: an account gets 2 reads per UTC day on the free tier, and the two counters never touch.

The local-date choice is the honest one for a counter a visitor can see. A UTC day rolls over at an hour that means nothing to most people, and a demo that resets at 5pm local time reads as broken rather than as principled.

Adoption at signup

The demo read is held in the browser until the moment an account exists, and is then adopted into it. The effect is that the first chart in a new account's history is the chart that convinced them to open it, rather than an empty desk.

An adopted read carries a flag marking its origin. That flag excludes it from the shadow-resolution sweep — the background pass that resolves untaken reads against later bars — because a demo read was graded without risk inputs and would enter the statistics on different terms from every other row.

What an account adds

Four things, and they are the whole difference: the metered markets (stocks, ETFs, forex, metals), the risk arithmetic that turns a read into a position, a rulebook of your own that the grade is checked against, and a history that persists.

• Markets beyond crypto — the metered vendor feed, attributable to an account.
• Risk arithmetic — position size, dollar risk and the daily loss budget, computed from your account size and risk percentage.
• Your own rulebook — strategy rules and rule packs the grade is measured against.
• A kept record — every read, decision and outcome, instead of one chart that vanishes with the tab.

Frequently asked

Why does the signed-out demo only grade crypto?

Crypto candles come from keyless public exchange endpoints, so they are genuinely free to serve to an anonymous visitor. Stock and forex data is metered vendor data that ORIN pays for, so it needs an account it can be attributed to. That is the stated reason rather than an upsell.

Does the demo chart count against my account allowance later?

No. The demo has its own allowance of 1 chart per local calendar day, held in the browser. The adopted read carries a flag marking its origin and is excluded from the shadow-resolution sweep, so it never enters the outcome statistics.
