A delisting announcement is not an account-completion receipt
A notice can describe when trading is intended to stop and how a venue expects to handle orders or positions. Those statements do not show what happened to a particular order or balance. This register gives each stage its own evidence state so that an announcement, an appointment and an observed result cannot collapse into a single completed label.
Choose one exact venue, product, instrument series and notice version. Record only the stages that the source or your evidence actually supports. This page does not tell you to close a position, predict a settlement price or apply one venue’s rules to another. It helps you see which conclusions remain unsupported before you interpret a saved record.
Four states answer four different questions
Announced means a supplied notice describes an action without a sufficiently specific schedule in this record. Scheduled means the notice supplies a date or instant. Observed means you supplied a matching type of observation with its own timestamp and reference. Unknown keeps missing evidence visible. These are worksheet labels, not a replacement for the source’s exact wording.
An expired scheduled instant stays scheduled. The computer clock cannot prove that trading stopped, orders were cancelled or funds arrived. Conversely, an observation before the planned instant is shown as a discrepancy for review rather than silently moved to the expected time. The notice may have changed, or the record may refer to another event; the worksheet cannot decide which explanation applies.
Read publication and effective dates separately in an Australian notice
ASX notice 0792.22.07 concerns the historical Wallumbilla GJ/GK futures delisting. It gives 28 July 2022 as publication date and 29 July 2022 as the effective date. The inspected page also carries a later update date. Those fields describe different things; the update date is not a new delisting effective date.
The notice describes removal from trading and notes that data feeds will no longer include those products. It does not provide evidence about a reader’s own order cancellation or cash settlement. We use it to demonstrate careful reading of a dated Australian source. The synthetic tool example is separate and makes no claim about the present availability, positions or procedures of those historical contracts.
| Historical ASX field | Source value | What it establishes here |
|---|---|---|
| Publication date | 28 July 2022 | Date printed on the notice |
| Effective date | 29 July 2022 | Effective date stated in the notice |
| Page update | 20 March 2026 | Later page metadata, not a new event |
| Own-order / own-settlement outcome | Not established by this notice | Needs separate evidence |

Keep venue status, orders, positions and cash evidence apart
A supplied venue-status record may describe whether an instrument was available for trading at the observed moment. An own-order record concerns the particular order it identifies. A position record concerns the supplied position scope. A settlement record concerns the particular movement or account entry. None of these automatically proves the other three stages.
The tool therefore expects different evidence kinds for its observed rows. A venue notice entered as own-order evidence leaves that observation unresolved. Even a structurally complete own-order row does not verify that every active or conditional order was cancelled. All-orders completion and current contract status remain unknown in the report because this worksheet has not inspected the account or queried the venue.
The worked case contains only one supplied observation
The DEMO-AU-1 notice is fictional. Its trading-stop row has a planned instant of 20 October 2026 at 13:30 UTC and a supplied venue-status observation one minute later. The other rows intentionally differ: order cancellation has no observation, position closure is only announced, and settlement has a Sydney date but no exact instant.
The resulting count is one stage with supplied scoped observation. It is not a percentage of the delisting completed, because the stages have different meanings and the list may be incomplete. The report neither changes the unknown cancellation to yes nor assumes the settlement occurred because its calendar date matches the journal day.
| DEMO stage | Supplied state | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Trading stop | observed | Supplied venue-status observation only |
| Order cancellation | unknown | No own-order outcome established |
| Position close | announced | Notice statement, not observation |
| Settlement | scheduled, date only | No settlement instant or amount established |
Sydney can put the same instant on the following date
The fictional 13:30 UTC instant falls at 00:30 on 21 October in Australia/Sydney. Entering 20 October in the intended Sydney-date cell produces a mismatch. This is a useful local check because the notice’s UTC date, a file name and an Australian journal date can differ while referring to the same instant.
The NSW Government identifies 4 October 2026 as the start of daylight saving, with clocks moving from 02:00 to 03:00. The named Sydney zone incorporates the applicable offset; do not use one fixed Australian offset for every date or state. The tool preserves the original timestamp and uses the converted display only as a journal aid, not as a claim about a venue’s trading session.

A calendar date does not contain an hour
If a source gives only a date, keep that precision. A blank precise-time field remains unknown and does not become 00:00. The scheduled-instant-passed check is therefore also unknown for a date-only row. A source date whose time-zone basis is not established should be retained in your source reference rather than relabelled as a Sydney date.
For a known instant, include seconds and a real Z or numeric offset. An unqualified local clock reading can be ambiguous around daylight-saving changes. The form rejects invalid dates, impossible offsets and observations later than the report’s as-of time. Its clock checks cannot authenticate the timestamp printed in a source; they only reveal contradictions in the supplied record.
Preserve exact contract identity and notice version
A familiar asset ticker is not enough to identify a derivative series. Keep the full instrument or series label that the source uses, and repeat it in each stage row. A row for another identifier stays unresolved even if its times look plausible. The tool compares the exact text, without silently dropping leading zeroes or changing case.
A revised notice needs a new retained version of the report. This compact form allows one row per stage, so duplicate stage rows are rejected instead of choosing one as authoritative. Save the old source reference and explain which schedule changed. A newly published notice does not retroactively prove the observation history of the old schedule.
Export a list of evidence gaps, not a completion promise
The CSV keeps notice identity, source references, original instants, UTC and Sydney displays, planned dates, supplied observation kinds and unresolved reasons. Spreadsheet-formula-like text is escaped. Editing any input removes the old export until the record is checked again. The report remains usable when several stages are unknown; those gaps are part of the result.
No orders, withdrawals, support messages or account requests are sent. Settlement amount, actual current instrument state and account-wide cancellation remain unmeasured. The complete guide and local worksheet are available without using the optional offer link. That link leads to the existing English-language crypto signals and updates page on this domain, not to an exchange or a settlement service.

}Questions about the method
Does a passed deadline mean the stage happened?
No. A scheduled row remains scheduled until distinct observation evidence is supplied.
Can one cancelled-order record prove all orders were cancelled?
No. Its scope is limited to the order evidence supplied; account-wide completion remains unknown.
Does this impose one delisting order on every venue?
No. The stages are separate evidence categories. The actual notice and product rules must be read in their own scope.
