Objective
Explore the distinct RecessionAlert Lowry buy-the-dip inventory row from checked-in offline sources without live requests, credentials, private data, raw source republication, or SQLite mutation.
Source and provenance
Page https://recessionalert.com/the-lowry-buy-the-dip-indicator/ is bound to SHA256 sha256:9bfe2d823ba7871ba7e0f6366b277ea88a4c0af7c01e41f61e8752ff9132d4cc. Chart GIF embeds and the cited Desmond PDF are uncrawled (linked_assets=0). Only derived daily signals and metrics are published.
Approach and results
Twenty-one labeled variants across five families used a daily SPY/IEF overlay on USI:UVOL/USI:DVOL. Primary claims require lag_bars >= 1; lag 0 is control-only. Documented-intent Class-B lag-1 overlay trailed SPY buy-hold; looser panic floors and unlike NADC combinations raised activity. Native Lowry parity remains NO-GO.
Disposition
exploratory_tested_proxy — Other/Research publication only. NO-GO for native Lowry fidelity or promotion to a playable Indicator because the source omits named SP-500 issues/volume series, sell/hold mapping, publication lag, and asset SHA256.
