World events
World events are things that happened outside crypto markets, such as a rate decision or a jobs report. Terminal records each one and the prices that came after it.
What a world event is
A world event is one item from a public source: a central bank decision, an economic release, a bank failure, a weather warning, or an official post. Each event has a category, a title, a time, and the source it came from.
Every event carries two times: when it happened, and when Terminal first knew about it. Terminal never uses an event before it knew about it. An event that arrives after an alert fired is marked "known after the alert".
After each event, Terminal records what BTC, ETH, SOL and gold did at fixed later times. A price that is not stored is shown as missing. It is never filled in.
The World screen lists recorded events, newest first, with a filter by category. Each event opens to its own page with its figures, its source, and the prices after it. From there, "Record of this type" opens the Event record screen. It lists every recorded event of that type and the range of moves after them.

A source can stop answering. Status names any source that is not collecting right now.
Titles are written by code from the source's own fields, not by a model. A news burst counts articles in a short window. Article titles belong to their publishers and link to them.
Event alerts
An event alert is the "World event and a move" alert type on New alert. You choose an event type, a coin or your watchlist, the size of the move, its direction, and a time window.
The alert fires when an event of that type happens and the coin moves at least that much within the window. It fires once for each event. It is ready again when a newer event of that type arrives.
Before you save, the preview shows the record of recent events of that type and the moves after them. That record is measured at the end of the window. It is labelled "not a forecast".
Event alerts are on every plan. Each one counts toward your plan's alert limit.
What Terminal does not do
Terminal records what happened in the same window. It does not say an event caused a move, and it does not forecast.
Terminal does not show forecasts or consensus figures for economic releases.
Event records are counts and ranges. They are not hit rates or scores. Terminal does not tell you to buy, sell or hold.
