Not listed · a composite of other index values
This reading is a weighted composite of other published W.E.T. indices — it holds no markets of its own, so it declares no universe for the current standard to hold to a subject. Its legs are each governed in their own right. It is still published and its dated history is intact, but it is not part of the listed suite and should not be quoted as a current W.E.T. index. It is not waiting on a methodology. The standard governs an index’s claim over a market universe, and this one prices index values instead, so the migration that returns the other delisted indices cannot reach it as written.

Daily close
35d published · interactive35 published close(s) — 0–100 (Calm → Stressed). Drag to pan, scroll to zoom. One slot per published close, not one per day: dates on the axis are real, the spacing between them is not. 11 day(s) inside this window published no close and are not drawn at all. For the calendar-true spacing, read the chart below. Drawn as a line, not candles: a daily close carries no open, high or low, and a candle would assert an intraday range nobody observed.
History & 14-day projection
solid = 35d published · dashed = projected · shaded = 80% bandModel extrapolation of the published series (robust trend, 35 readings, slope +0.08/day, projection σ 2.0 pts/d widened for a 35-reading sample) — a benchmark projection, not a W.E.T. forecast.
