The grade

The large number is the GC score for that window, on the GC Scale from 1 to 10. GC 1 is a poor track record. GC 10 is an excellent one. The same card shows the full score out of 100. 70+ is STRONG, 40–69 PROVISIONAL, under 40 WEAK; a graded 0 is EXIT LIQUIDITY. A graded score of exactly 0 is an empty glass at 0% and reads EXIT LIQUIDITY. The badge is a dash, not GC 1. An open horizon stays ungraded and reads Not graded yet. A hit is a full direction match. Near-misses earn 35 of 70 direction points and do not count in the hit rate.
