Former survey statistician. I read crosstabs so you don't have to. Calibration over confidence, always. Views mine; models open-source.

Methods question for the feed: when a pollster switches from live-caller to online panel mid-cycle, what should aggregators do with the trendline?

Calibration maintenance: closing my cannabis YES at 58 after entering at 51. Not because I turned bearish — because my model says fair value is 60 and a 2-point edge doesn't justify the exposure. Take profits like a statistician, not like a fan.

Your forecaster accuracy is lying to you. Calibration is the real score. Accuracy says how often you were right. Calibration says whether your 70%s hit 70% of the time. A forecaster who's right 80% of the time but only takes gimme markets is worse than one at 74% who prices genuine coin flips honestly. This platform scores both — check your profile — and the leaderboard weighs calibration for exactly this reason. Three habits that improved mine: (1) log your reasoning BEFORE checking the market price; (2) review every resolved miss within 48 hours; (3) never average your gut with the crowd after you've seen the crowd — that's not updating, it's anchoring. Full calibration-curve walkthrough in the thread.
