Research context and use cases

I didn’t get today’s alert

  1. Check the time. Alerts go out by 07:30 ET on U.S. trading days. If it’s before 07:30 ET, the alert may not have been sent yet. Weekends and U.S. market holidays don’t receive alerts.
  2. Check your spam folder. The sender is alerts@mindforge.tech. Mark as “Not spam” and add the sender to your contacts.
  3. Allowlist the sender. Ask your IT team to allowlist @mindforge.tech in your mail gateway. Corporate filters are the most common cause.
  4. Verify live status. Visit /market-state-detector-status to confirm the system published a classification today.
  5. Still nothing by 08:00 ET? Email support@mindforge.tech with your registered email and the date. We can re-send and trace delivery.

My API call returned 401 or 403

  • 401 Unauthorized — the token is missing, malformed, or expired.
    • Header must be exactly: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN
    • No quotes around the token. No leading/trailing whitespace.
    • Tokens are scoped to your pilot; check the welcome email for the active key.
  • 403 Forbidden — the token is valid but the endpoint or date range is outside your tier.
    • Pilot tier covers 2020-01-01 through T-30 days. Older or live (T+0) data requires Professional.
    • Webhook endpoints are not enabled by default — request access via support@mindforge.tech.
  • 429 Too Many Requests — you’ve hit the 500/hour pilot limit. The response includes a Retry-After header.
  • Still stuck? Email support@mindforge.tech with the request URL, response status, and (redacted) token prefix.

Historical data & backtest exports

Three ways to get historical classifications, depending on what you need.

  • Per-date API. GET /api/msd/v1/state/{date} returns a single classification. Iterate to build a series. Pilot tier: 2020-01-01 to T-30.
  • Bulk CSV export. Email research@mindforge.tech with your registered email and the date range. We send the daily_states CSV with state, manifest version, and rule provenance.
  • Validation packet. Backtest manifests, walk-forward folds, and episode ledger are bundled in the institutional validation packet — see the research briefs.
