Buy/Sell EMA CandleThis indicator is designed to display various technical indicators, candle patterns, and trend directions on a price chart. Let's break down the code and explain its different sections:
Exponential Moving Averages (EMA):
The code calculates and plots five EMAs of different lengths (13, 21, 55, 90, and 200) on the price chart. These EMAs are used to identify trends and potential crossovers.
Engulfing Candle Patterns:
The code identifies and highlights potential bullish and bearish engulfing candle patterns. It checks if the current candle's body size is larger than the combined body sizes of the previous and subsequent four candles. If this condition is met, it marks the pattern on the chart.
s3.tradingview.com
EMA Crossovers:
The code identifies and highlights points where the shorter EMA (ema1) crosses above or below the longer EMA (ema2). It plots circles to indicate these crossover points.
Candle Direction and RSI Trend:
The code determines the trend direction of the last candle based on whether it closed higher or lower than its open price. It also calculates the RSI (Relative Strength Index) and determines its trend direction (overbought, oversold, or neutral) based on predefined thresholds.
s3.tradingview.com
Table Display:
The code creates a table displaying trend directions for different timeframes (monthly, weekly, daily, 4-hour, and 1-hour) for candle direction and RSI trends. The trends are labeled with "L" for long, "S" for short, and "N/A" for not applicable.
High Volume Bars (HVB):
The code identifies and colors bars with above-average volume as either bullish or bearish based on whether the price closed higher or lower than it opened. The color and conditions for high volume bars can be customized.
s3.tradingview.com
Doji Candle Pattern:
The code identifies and marks doji candle patterns, where the open and close prices are very close to each other within a certain percentage of the candle's high-low range.
RSI-Based Candle Coloring:
The code adjusts the color of the candles based on the RSI value. If the RSI value is above the overbought threshold or below the oversold threshold, the candles are colored yellow.
Usage and Interpretation:
Traders can use this indicator to identify potential trend changes based on EMA crossovers and candle patterns like engulfing and doji.
The RSI trend direction can provide additional insight into potential overbought or oversold conditions.
High volume bars can indicate potential price reversals or continuation patterns.
The table provides an overview of trend directions on different timeframes for both candle direction and RSI trends.
Keep in mind that this is a complex indicator with multiple features. Users should carefully evaluate its performance and consider combining it with other indicators and analysis methods for more accurate trading decisions.
The table is designed to provide a consolidated view of trend directions and other indicators across multiple timeframes. It is displayed on the chart and organized into rows and columns. Each row corresponds to a specific aspect of analysis, and each column corresponds to a different timeframe.
Here's a breakdown of the components of the table:
Row 1: Separation.
Row 2 (Header Row): This row contains the headers for the columns. The headers represent the different timeframes being analyzed, such as Monthly (M), Weekly (W), Daily (D), 4-hour (4h), and 1-hour (1h).
Row 3 (Content Row): This row contains labels indicating the types of information being displayed in the columns. The labels include "T" for Trend, "C" for Current Candle, and "R" for RSI Trend.
Row 4 and Onwards: These rows display the actual data for each aspect of analysis across different timeframes.
For each aspect of analysis (Trend, Current Candle, RSI Trend), the corresponding rows display the following information:
Monthly (M): The trend direction for the given aspect on the monthly timeframe.
Weekly (W): The trend direction for the given aspect on the weekly timeframe.
Daily (D): The trend direction for the given aspect on the daily timeframe.
4-hour (4h): The trend direction for the given aspect on the 4-hour timeframe.
1-hour (1h): The trend direction for the given aspect on the 1-hour timeframe.
The trend directions are represented by labels such as "L" for Long, "S" for Short, or "N/A" for Not Applicable.
The table's purpose is to provide a quick overview of trend directions and related information across multiple timeframes, aiding traders in making informed decisions based on the analysis of trend changes and other indicators.
Buy/Sell SignalsThe indicator is built using Supertrend, RSI, and Ema Crossovers.
What is the best way to use the indicator?
Indicator can be used in two ways:
First : If a signal appears on the chart, you can enter immediately the stoploss is the candle's low with a Small Buffer.

MULTIPLE TIME-FRAME STRATEGY(TREND, MOMENTUM, ENTRY) Hey everyone, this is one strategy that I have found profitable over time. It is a multiple time frame strategy that utilizes 3 time-frames. Highest time-frame is the trend, medium time-frame is the momentum and short time-frame is the entry point.
Long Term:
- If closed candle is above entry then we are looking for longs, otherwise we are looking for shorts
Medium Term:
- If Stoch SmoothK is above or below SmoothK and the momentum matches long term trend then we look for entries.
Short Term:
- If a moving average crossover(long)/crossunder(short) occurs then place a trade in the direction of the trend.
Close Trade:
- Trade is closed when the Medium term SmoothK Crosses under/above SmoothD.
You can mess with the settings to get the best Profit Factor / Percent Profit that matches your plan.
Best of luck!

Game Theory Trading StrategyGame Theory Trading Strategy: Explanation and Working Logic
This Pine Script (version 5) code implements a trading strategy named "Game Theory Trading Strategy" in TradingView. Unlike the previous indicator, this is a full-fledged strategy with automated entry/exit rules, risk management, and backtesting capabilities. It uses Game Theory principles to analyze market behavior, focusing on herd behavior, institutional flows, liquidity traps, and Nash equilibrium to generate buy (long) and sell (short) signals. Below, I'll explain the strategy's purpose, working logic, key components, and usage tips in detail.
1. General Description
Purpose: The strategy identifies high-probability trading opportunities by combining Game Theory concepts (herd behavior, contrarian signals, Nash equilibrium) with technical analysis (RSI, volume, momentum). It aims to exploit market inefficiencies caused by retail herd behavior, institutional flows, and liquidity traps. The strategy is designed for automated trading with defined risk management (stop-loss/take-profit) and position sizing based on market conditions.
Key Features:
Herd Behavior Detection: Identifies retail panic buying/selling using RSI and volume spikes.
Liquidity Traps: Detects stop-loss hunting zones where price breaks recent highs/lows but reverses.
Institutional Flow Analysis: Tracks high-volume institutional activity via Accumulation/Distribution and volume spikes.
Nash Equilibrium: Uses statistical price bands to assess whether the market is in equilibrium or deviated (overbought/oversold).
Risk Management: Configurable stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) percentages, dynamic position sizing based on Game Theory (minimax principle).
Visualization: Displays Nash bands, signals, background colors, and two tables (Game Theory status and backtest results).
Backtesting: Tracks performance metrics like win rate, profit factor, max drawdown, and Sharpe ratio.
Strategy Settings:
Initial capital: $10,000.
Pyramiding: Up to 3 positions.
Position size: 10% of equity (default_qty_value=10).
Configurable inputs for RSI, volume, liquidity, institutional flow, Nash equilibrium, and risk management.
Warning: This is a strategy, not just an indicator. It executes trades automatically in TradingView's Strategy Tester. Always backtest thoroughly and use proper risk management before live trading.
2. Working Logic (Step by Step)
The strategy processes each bar (candle) to generate signals, manage positions, and update performance metrics. Here's how it works:
a. Input Parameters
The inputs are grouped for clarity:
Herd Behavior (🐑):
RSI Period (14): For overbought/oversold detection.
Volume MA Period (20): To calculate average volume for spike detection.
Herd Threshold (2.0): Volume multiplier for detecting herd activity.
Liquidity Analysis (💧):
Liquidity Lookback (50): Bars to check for recent highs/lows.
Liquidity Sensitivity (1.5): Volume multiplier for trap detection.
Institutional Flow (🏦):
Institutional Volume Multiplier (2.5): For detecting large volume spikes.
Institutional MA Period (21): For Accumulation/Distribution smoothing.
Nash Equilibrium (⚖️):
Nash Period (100): For calculating price mean and standard deviation.
Nash Deviation (0.02): Multiplier for equilibrium bands.
Risk Management (🛡️):
Use Stop-Loss (true): Enables SL at 2% below/above entry price.
Use Take-Profit (true): Enables TP at 5% above/below entry price.
b. Herd Behavior Detection
RSI (14): Checks for extreme conditions:
Overbought: RSI > 70 (potential herd buying).
Oversold: RSI < 30 (potential herd selling).
Volume Spike: Volume > SMA(20) x 2.0 (herd_threshold).
Momentum: Price change over 10 bars (close - close ) compared to its SMA(20).
Herd Signals:
Herd Buying: RSI > 70 + volume spike + positive momentum = Retail buying frenzy (red background).
Herd Selling: RSI < 30 + volume spike + negative momentum = Retail selling panic (green background).
c. Liquidity Trap Detection
Recent Highs/Lows: Calculated over 50 bars (liquidity_lookback).
Psychological Levels: Nearest round numbers (e.g., $100, $110) as potential stop-loss zones.
Trap Conditions:
Up Trap: Price breaks recent high, closes below it, with a volume spike (volume > SMA x 1.5).
Down Trap: Price breaks recent low, closes above it, with a volume spike.
Visualization: Traps are marked with small red/green crosses above/below bars.
d. Institutional Flow Analysis
Volume Check: Volume > SMA(20) x 2.5 (inst_volume_mult) = Institutional activity.
Accumulation/Distribution (AD):
Formula: ((close - low) - (high - close)) / (high - low) * volume, cumulated over time.
Smoothed with SMA(21) (inst_ma_length).
Accumulation: AD > MA + high volume = Institutions buying.
Distribution: AD < MA + high volume = Institutions selling.
Smart Money Index: (close - open) / (high - low) * volume, smoothed with SMA(20). Positive = Smart money buying.
e. Nash Equilibrium
Calculation:
Price mean: SMA(100) (nash_period).
Standard deviation: stdev(100).
Upper Nash: Mean + StdDev x 0.02 (nash_deviation).
Lower Nash: Mean - StdDev x 0.02.
Conditions:
Near Equilibrium: Price between upper and lower Nash bands (stable market).
Above Nash: Price > upper band (overbought, sell potential).
Below Nash: Price < lower band (oversold, buy potential).
Visualization: Orange line (mean), red/green lines (upper/lower bands).
f. Game Theory Signals
The strategy generates three types of signals, combined into long/short triggers:
Contrarian Signals:
Buy: Herd selling + (accumulation or down trap) = Go against retail panic.
Sell: Herd buying + (distribution or up trap).
Momentum Signals:
Buy: Below Nash + positive smart money + no herd buying.
Sell: Above Nash + negative smart money + no herd selling.
Nash Reversion Signals:
Buy: Below Nash + rising close (close > close ) + volume > MA.
Sell: Above Nash + falling close + volume > MA.
Final Signals:
Long Signal: Contrarian buy OR momentum buy OR Nash reversion buy.
Short Signal: Contrarian sell OR momentum sell OR Nash reversion sell.
g. Position Management
Position Sizing (Minimax Principle):
Default: 1.0 (10% of equity).
In Nash equilibrium: Reduced to 0.5 (conservative).
During institutional volume: Increased to 1.5 (aggressive).
Entries:
Long: If long_signal is true and no existing long position (strategy.position_size <= 0).
Short: If short_signal is true and no existing short position (strategy.position_size >= 0).
Exits:
Stop-Loss: If use_sl=true, set at 2% below/above entry price.
Take-Profit: If use_tp=true, set at 5% above/below entry price.
Pyramiding: Up to 3 concurrent positions allowed.
h. Visualization
Nash Bands: Orange (mean), red (upper), green (lower).
Background Colors:
Herd buying: Red (90% transparency).
Herd selling: Green.
Institutional volume: Blue.
Signals:
Contrarian buy/sell: Green/red triangles below/above bars.
Liquidity traps: Red/green crosses above/below bars.

j. Alerts
No explicit alertconditions defined, but you can add them for long_signal and short_signal (e.g., alertcondition(long_signal, "GT Long Entry", "Long Signal Detected!")).
Use TradingView's alert system with Strategy Tester outputs.
3. Usage Tips
Timeframe: Best for H1-D1 timeframes. Shorter frames (M1-M15) may produce noisy signals.
Settings:
Risk Management: Adjust sl_percent (e.g., 1% for volatile markets) and tp_percent (e.g., 3% for scalping).
Herd Threshold: Increase to 2.5 for stricter herd detection in choppy markets.
Liquidity Lookback: Reduce to 20 for faster markets (e.g., crypto).
Nash Period: Increase to 200 for longer-term analysis.
Backtesting:
Use TradingView's Strategy Tester to evaluate performance.
Check win rate (>50%), profit factor (>1.5), and max drawdown (<20%) for viability.
Test on different assets/timeframes to ensure robustness.
Live Trading:
Start with a demo account.
Combine with other indicators (e.g., EMAs, support/resistance) for confirmation.
Monitor liquidity traps and institutional flow for context.
Risk Management:
Always use SL/TP to limit losses.
Adjust position_size for risk tolerance (e.g., 5% of equity for conservative trading).
Avoid over-leveraging (pyramiding=3 can amplify risk).
Troubleshooting:
If no trades are executed, check signal conditions (e.g., lower herd_threshold or liquidity_sensitivity).
Ensure sufficient historical data for Nash and liquidity calculations.
If tables overlap, adjust position.top_right/bottom_right coordinates.
4. Key Differences from the Previous Indicator
Indicator vs. Strategy: The previous code was an indicator (VP + Game Theory Integrated Strategy) focused on visualization and alerts. This is a strategy with automated entries/exits and backtesting.
Volume Profile: Absent in this strategy, making it lighter but less focused on high-volume zones.
Wick Analysis: Not included here, unlike the previous indicator's heavy reliance on wick patterns.
Backtesting: This strategy includes detailed performance metrics and a backtest table, absent in the indicator.
Simpler Signals: Focuses on Game Theory signals (contrarian, momentum, Nash reversion) without the "Power/Ultra Power" hierarchy.
Risk Management: Explicit SL/TP and dynamic position sizing, not present in the indicator.
5. Conclusion
The "Game Theory Trading Strategy" is a sophisticated system leveraging herd behavior, institutional flows, liquidity traps, and Nash equilibrium to trade market inefficiencies. It’s designed for traders who understand Game Theory principles and want automated execution with robust risk management. However, it requires thorough backtesting and parameter optimization for specific markets (e.g., forex, crypto, stocks). The backtest table and visual aids make it easy to monitor performance, but always combine with other analysis tools and proper capital management.

This Pine Script indicator helps traders analyze volume dynamics in the stock or cryptocurrency market while simultaneously assessing buyer and seller pressure. Its use case revolves around identifying strong buying or selling activity, neutral conditions, and volume trends over different time periods. Below is a breakdown of how to use this indicator:
Key Features and Use Case
Volume-Based Insights:
Displays daily volume and compares it to the 3-day, 5-day, 10-day, and 20-day moving averages of volume. Helps traders identify days with unusual volume spikes relative to historical averages, signaling potential reversals or breakouts.
Buyer and Seller Pressure:
Measures buyer pressure: how much the closing price dominates the trading range of the day.
Measures seller pressure: how much the opening price dominates the trading range of the day.
Highlights areas where buying or selling pressure is particularly strong (≥ 0.75).
Background Signals:
Green Background: Strong buyer pressure (indicative of potential upward momentum).
Red Background: Strong seller pressure (indicative of potential downward momentum).
Gray Background: Neutral market conditions (neither buying nor selling dominance).
Alerts:

Strong buying signals are detected.
Strong selling signals are detected.
The market is neutral, with neither buyers nor sellers in control.
Decision-Making Aid:
Combines volume analysis with price action (buyer/seller pressure) to help traders identify:
Potential breakout opportunities.
Reversal points.
Neutral zones where a trader might avoid trading due to indecision in the market.
How to Use It in Trading:------->
Add the Indicator:
Apply this Indicator to your Trading View chart to start visualizing the buyer/seller pressure and volume averages.
Interpret Volume Trends:
Look for days when daily volume significantly exceeds the 3-day, 5-day, 10-day, or 20-day average.
These could indicate:
A breakout when aligned with strong buyer pressure.
A sell-off when aligned with strong seller pressure.
React to Background Colors:
* Green Background (Strong Buyer Pressure):
Suggests buyers are dominating the market, and upward momentum is likely.
Use this signal to consider buying opportunities, especially if volume is above average.
* Red Background (Strong Seller Pressure):
Indicates sellers are in control, and prices might fall.
Use this signal to consider selling or shorting opportunities.
* Gray Background (Neutral Market):
Reflects indecision; avoid entering trades during these periods unless other signals support a strategy.
Volume Confirmation:
Combine volume analysis with buyer/seller pressure to confirm trends.
Example: A high daily volume with strong buyer pressure signals a high-probability uptrend.
Set Alerts:
Enable alerts to receive real-time notifications when the market generates strong buy/sell signals or enters a neutral zone.
Who Can Benefit:
* Day Traders: Quickly assess intraday market dynamics and volume trends.
* Swing Traders: Identify breakout opportunities or reversal points based on strong buyer/seller pressure.
* Volume Analysts: Compare historical volume averages to current conditions for deeper insights.
Limitations:
Does not guarantee success—should be combined with other technical indicators or strategies.
In low-volume markets, signals may produce false positives or unreliable results.
Assumes traders have basic knowledge of price action and volume analysis.
By integrating this indicator into your strategy, you gain a powerful tool to analyze buyer/seller dominance alongside volume trends, improving your market timing and trade execution.
The Buyer and Seller Pressure components in this indicator provide crucial insights into the market's sentiment and momentum by analyzing the price action relative to the trading volume. Here's how they are used:
1. Buyer Pressure:
Formula:
Buyer Pressure = (Close − Open) / (High − Low )
Interpretation:
* A high buyer pressure (≥ 0.75) indicates strong bullish sentiment, where the price closes much higher than it opened, and the range (high-low) is sufficiently wide.
* It identifies periods of aggressive buying, often signaling potential bullish trends or confirming upward momentum.
2. Seller Pressure:
Formula:
Seller Pressure = (Close − Open ) / (High -Low )
Interpretation:
*A high seller pressure (≥ 0.75) suggests strong bearish sentiment, where the price closes much lower than it opened, within a wide range.
*It helps identify periods of aggressive selling, signaling potential bearish trends or downward momentum.
Purpose in the Indicator:
1. Market Sentiment Analysis:
* Buyer Pressure and Seller Pressure allow traders to gauge market sentiment—whether buyers or sellers dominate a particular time frame.
* This helps in identifying trend reversals or confirmations.
2. Decision-Making Framework:
* The indicator uses thresholds (default 0.75) to classify the market into:
* Strong Buy Signal: When buyer pressure is dominant.
* Strong Sell Signal: When seller pressure is dominant.
* Neutral Signal: When neither buyer nor seller pressure dominates.
*This classification provides a straightforward decision-making tool for traders.
Risk Management:
*By identifying periods of strong buying or selling, traders can avoid entering trades in highly volatile or one-sided markets, which helps reduce risk.
Volume Confirmation:
*Integrating volume data with buyer/seller pressure helps confirm trends. For example:
*High buyer pressure accompanied by higher-than-average volume strengthens the bullish signal.
*Similarly, high seller pressure with higher-than-average volume confirms bearish signals.
Trade Timing:
*The indicator highlights conditions of potential entry (strong buy) or exit (strong sell), allowing traders to time their trades better based on real-time market activity.
Use Case:
*Example:
*Suppose the indicator shows Buyer Pressure = 0.85 with daily volume above the 3-day average. This combination suggests strong bullish activity with momentum, signaling a buy opportunity.
*Conversely, if Seller Pressure = 0.80 with volume above the 5-day average, it signals strong bearish momentum, ideal for selling or shorting.
This indicator combines buyer/seller pressure with volume dynamics, making it valuable for short-term and intraday traders looking for precise market entries and exits.
The background color in this indicator plays an important visual role in helping traders quickly identify the market sentiment based on buyer and seller pressure. It provides a dynamic, color-coded background that changes depending on the strength of the market's buying or selling activity.
Here's how it works:
Background Color Logic:
1. Green Background (Strong Buy Signal):
*Condition: The background turns green when buyer pressure is greater than or equal to 0.75 (strong buying pressure).
*Interpretation: A green background indicates that there is significant bullish sentiment in the market, with strong buying activity. Traders can interpret this as an environment conducive to buying or holding long positions.
*Visual Effect: This helps to quickly spot bullish market conditions, reinforcing potential entry signals for buyers.
2.Red Background (Strong Sell Signal):
*Condition: The background turns red when seller pressure is greater than or equal to 0.75 (strong selling pressure).
*Interpretation: A red background indicates that the market is dominated by selling, showing strong bearish sentiment. Traders can consider this as a signal to sell or short the asset.
*Visual Effect: The red background highlights moments when the market is heavily selling, prompting traders to either exit long positions or take short positions.
Gray Background (Neutral/Indecision Zone):
Condition: The background turns gray when neither buyer nor seller pressure exceeds 0.75. This means the market is neutral, with no dominant bullish or bearish sentiment.
Interpretation: A gray background suggests market indecision or balance between buyers and sellers. It can indicate periods of consolidation or sideways movement where no strong trend is forming.
Visual Effect: The gray background helps traders avoid entering trades when the market lacks a clear direction or when the sentiment is neutral, reducing risk during indecisive times.
Practical Use:
Instant Visual Confirmation:
*Traders can use the background color as an instant confirmation of the market’s sentiment. For instance, if the background turns green, traders might feel more confident in making a long (buy) trade.
*If the background turns red, it serves as a strong visual cue to short or exit a long position.
Helps with Trade Timing:
*The background color can be used in conjunction with other indicators and volume data to time entries and exits more effectively. For example:
*A green background with strong volume indicates a strong trend that could justify a buy.
*A red background with a significant volume surge signals strong selling pressure, which could prompt a sell.
Simplifies Market Analysis:
*For traders who prefer visual cues over complex analysis, the background color simplifies market conditions. Instead of focusing on individual numbers or values, the color-coded background gives them a quick, intuitive view of the market sentiment.
Summary:
* Green background = Strong buying pressure (bullish sentiment)
* Red background = Strong selling pressure (bearish sentiment)
* Gray background = Neutral market (indecision or balance between buyers and sellers)
This background color functionality helps traders stay aware of the prevailing market sentiment at a glance, providing an intuitive way to guide trading decisions.
Volume Imbalance Analyzer - 70% & 80% Version1.01Here’s a clean “definition” you can drop into your docs. It explains **what** the indicator is, **what it helps with**, and **how** to use it—plain and practical.
# Definition
**Volume Imbalance Analyzer (70% & 80%)** flags bars where estimated buy vs. sell volume is heavily one-sided. It colors those bars, adds labels (B70/B80 or S70/S80), and can alert you in real time. The goal is to quickly spot spots of **aggressive participation** (buyers or sellers) that often act as magnets for a **retest** or as **exhaustion/continuation** areas.
# What it helps you do
* **Find high-energy bars** where one side dominates (potential turning or continuation points).
* **Plan retests:** Track when price comes back into the imbalance candle’s range (common entry/take-profit logic).
* **Filter trades:** Only act when the market shows unusual pressure (≥70% or ≥80%).
* **Add context to setups:** Combine with S/R, FVGs, or trend tools to time entries with less guesswork.
* **Alert-driven workflow:** Get notified the moment extreme pressure prints.
# How it helps (workflow)
1. **Scan for signals:**
* **B80/B70** = strong buying; **S80/S70** = strong selling.
* 80% is “extreme” and overrides 70%.
2. **Mark the zone:** The imbalance candle’s **high–low** defines a zone. Many traders wait for a **retest** into that range.
3. **Decide intent:**
* After **B80/B70**, look for pullbacks to buy (or fades if you see exhaustion).
* After **S80/S70**, look for rallies to sell (or fades if exhaustion).
4. **Confirm with context:** Check trend, key levels, liquidity, session timing, ATR/volatility.
5. **Manage risk:** Place stops beyond the zone; size trades so a failed retest doesn’t ruin the day.
# How it works (under the hood, briefly)
The script **estimates buy/sell volume** from each candle’s body, wicks, and total volume, then computes an **imbalance %**. If the % crosses **70%** or **80%** (scaled by a Sensitivity setting), it paints the bar, drops a label, and optionally fires an alert. It also stores the imbalance candle’s range so you can watch for a **retest**.
# Reading the signals (quick guide)
* **B80**: Extreme buyer pressure → watch for pullback buys or exhaustion shorts, depending on context.
* **B70**: Strong buyer pressure → mild continuation bias.
* **S80**: Extreme seller pressure → watch for rally sells or exhaustion longs.
* **S70**: Strong seller pressure → higher reversal probability noted in the table (informational).
# Configuration tips
* **Sensitivity**: Higher = more bars qualify (more signals).
* **Label distance**: Scales with ATR so labels don’t overlap candles.
* **Colors/opacity**: Separate for 70% vs 80% and buyer vs seller.
* **Alerts**: Enable to catch signals live without staring at the screen.
# Notes & limits
* Uses **estimation** (not true bid/ask) on most symbols; treat as a **context tool**, not a stand-alone system.
* The optional stats table’s “expected outcomes” are **informational**, not live probabilities.
* Works on any timeframe; results improve when combined with structure and risk controls.
