Known limitations
Where ora-fin1 is weaker or narrower than you might expect today, and what to do instead. Reviewed 2026-10-31.
| Limitation | What you see | Instead |
|---|---|---|
| Daily bars only | Rules have no intraday bars, timeframes (@5m), vwap() or opening range. | Write the rule on daily bars; compute intraday signals in your own code. |
| One symbol per rule | A rule cannot reference another symbol (no "stronger than SPY"). | Ask each symbol and compare the answers in code. |
| Rules need a covered symbol | Numbers you send in state.context cannot be used in ask. | Ask by symbol for rules; use forecasts on your own numbers. |
| English compiles only what it recognises | Some "now" questions go to the forecast model instead: "Is it at a 52-week high?" on TSLA came back without a rule (0.533). | Check for rule in the answer, or write the rule. |
| Wording moves forecasts | On TSLA, three wordings of the same 5% drawdown question answered 0.638, 0.593 and 0.184. | Use the standard wordings from the Examples, and ask important questions two or three ways. |
| Ties and missing history answer 0.50 | An exact tie, a positive offset or a window longer than the ~1,500 sessions loaded all read as "not known". | See Common mistakes. |
| Previous session during the day | Answers use the latest completed session; during the trading day that is yesterday. | Run after the close (about 16:40 New York) for today's session. |
| Market engine is yes_no only | choice and score are answered by the text engine, on text. | Use several yes_no questions for a market judgment. |
| Email delivery is not live | Email actions evaluate and dry-run, but are not sent yet. | Use Slack or a webhook. |
| Corporate-event facts are not live | Earnings, dividends and splits facts for rules are planned. | See Earnings, dividends and splits facts. |
