Setting the 8th Rule Free
The indicator that started this whole publication is now public on TradingView. Thank you for being early.
Quick one, but an important one.
The original 8th Rule.. the indicator that kicked off this entire publication, the one a lot of you paid Substack access for over the last year.. is now live on TradingView as a free, public-protected script.
Anyone can find it, favorite it, run it on their own charts. No invite, no subscription required.

Before anything else.. thank you. Sincerely.
You paid for access to the 8th Rule when it was the only thing in the toolbox, and the trust you put in early-stage Durden is the reason every newer engine exists.
The MRE. The Arsenal suite. The Macro Weather, Stress & Liquidity dashboards. The diagnostic charts. The entire lot of it.
None of it gets built without you funding the runway when it was just me, a Hull MA, and a Gaussian filter trying to time Bitcoin.
The reason I can release the 8th Rule into the wild now is because the members area at DurdenBTC.com is a different animal than it was a year ago.
The MRE is doing the heavy macro work across 26 voters. The Arsenal engines (BTC, ETH, Gold, and the US equity factor sleeves) are each running asset-specific decision trees with the new “no black box” diagnostic charts so you can read every signal day-by-day instead of trusting the output blind.
The suite you get inside the members area is 10x stronger than anything the 8th Rule alone can or would provide.
The 8th Rule was step one. The current stack is step ten.
And step eleven is already in flight.. I’m building Arsenal engines for $NVDA, $GOOG, and $AAPL right now.
Single-name factor work, same hysteresis discipline, same diagnostic output. They’ll drop into the members dashboard as they come online over the next few weeks.
If you’ve been on the fence about upgrading to the paid tier.. the 8th Rule going public is the friendliest possible introduction to how I think about markets.
Run it on whatever you trade. If the discipline behind it makes sense to you, the full suite is one click away in the members area.
Have a great week. Get off the screen. The signals will be here daily.
— Durden out.
