Editorial standards
Every piece of research is grounded in verifiable data: historical price series, correlation coefficients computed against named lookback windows, and execution mechanics drawn from real broker behavior — not generic textbook abstraction.
Trading setups are illustrated with specific entry, stop, and target logic rather than vague directional bias. Where statistical claims are made (e.g. correlation coefficients, win-rate ranges, drawdown math), the methodology and timeframe are stated inline.
Articles are reviewed periodically and the “Last reviewed” date is displayed on every piece. When market conditions invalidate a previously published thesis, the article is updated or retracted — never silently left in place.
