The weekly report that goes out to subscribers isn't hand-written, and it isn't a different, softer set of numbers than what's on the live pages. It's generated straight from the same fee-netted, fillable-size-corrected data behind the order book widget — the report is a summary view of it, not a separate estimate.
What's in it
- Spread trend — where the fee-netted breakeven sat this week against last week, and roughly what moved it.
- Best-paying rail — which payment method carried the widest genuinely fillable spread, not just the widest top-of-book average.
- Merchant behavior — notable reliability shifts among the advertisers actually active on that market, not a generic leaderboard.
Why automated, not written
Hand-writing a market report doesn't scale past one or two markets, and it introduces exactly the kind of inconsistency a maker shouldn't have to second-guess. An automated report is evergreen and repeatable across every market this site covers, at zero marginal cost per additional market — which is also why it doubles as the natural anchor for the mailing list rather than a one-off content piece.
Why per-market, not one global report
A single global report would have to either drown makers in markets they don't trade, or generalize across markets that don't behave the same way — MAD and NGN have different rail structures, different competition levels, and different fee schedules in practice. A report scoped to the market you actually subscribed for is the only version of this that's useful every single week.
