🟢hypothesis_ledger(query, group, asset, limit)
Search INDICIA DESK's public registry of BTC/ETH market beliefs tested on its own data, including the rejected ones. Use when someone asks whether a popular crypto trading belief holds, e.g. "does max pain attract price?", "do whales lead the move?", "is selling volatility after a fear spike profitable?". Returns verdict status and a plain-language teaser; exact thresholds are not public.

}🟢market_state(asset)
Current dealer gamma regime (positive = hedging dampens moves, negative = amplifies), zero-gamma flip, call/put walls, DVOL and its 1-year rank, implied-minus-realized volatility, IV term structure and the INDICIA Fear & Greed index, with how long the regime has lasted in our daily archive. Descriptive context, not a direction call. Data refreshes about every 2 hours; the result carries as_of.

}🟢expiry_record(asset, limit)
How often BTC/ETH Deribit options settled at max pain, inside the market-maker breakeven corridor, and whether OI walls held, over hundreds of expiries — plus the most recent settled expiries (Deribit and Bybit max pain side by side) and the current max pain of upcoming expiries. Use for "will price pin to max pain on Friday?" type questions: it answers with the historical hit rate, not a prediction.

}🟢decision_journal(strategy, asset, limit)
INDICIA DESK's decision journal: options strategies tracked at real Deribit bid/ask prices (paper account), with every closed trade, wins and losses. Returns per-strategy trade counts, win rate and average result, and the latest closed trades. Use to show how rule-based options strategies actually performed. Live entry signals and exact structures are not available here.
