They are not a record of values originally published on each date. The current UTC day is provisional.","historical_comparison":"Thirty-day outcomes shown for similar historical index zones are descriptive, reconstructed and overlapping observations. They are not independent trades, a strategy backtest or an out-of-sample probability forecast.","version_basis":"The current history uses the stated methodology version.
