NQ day types: price can take thousands of paths through a session, and all of them compress into four day types. Know which one you're in, and you know which systems to turn on and which to leave off.

What if the last two candles told you the odds of the next move? Tested across tens of thousands of hourly candles, one thing kept jumping out: the opening price changes everything. Today's Bottom Line Up Front: putting a real probability on what price does next. Watch. Educational only. Figures shown are historical/simulated. CFTC 4.41: simulated results have inherent limitations and are not indicative of future results. Futures trading carries a substantial risk of loss.

Candle Science probability flag: read the last two candles and place a flag on the current one. How C2 closes sets the flag for C3. That single relationship is the whole engine.

Every session opens, sets its low, sets its high, then closes. But what if you knew when the low tends to form and when the real move usually starts? Today's Bottom Line Up Front: the MAE/MFE histogram. The probability of when, not which way. Watch. Educational only. Figures shown are historical/simulated. CFTC 4.41: simulated results have inherent limitations and are not indicative of future results. Futures trading carries a substantial risk of loss.

Every trade breathes against you before it works, or works before it dies. Most traders never measure either move. Today's Bottom Line Up Front: MAE and MFE, the maximum heat a trade puts you through and the maximum reward it offers, so your stops and targets come from the data instead of a guess. Watch. Educational only. Figures shown are historical/simulated. CFTC 4.41: simulated results have inherent limitations and are not indicative of future results. Futures trading carries a substantial risk of loss.

The line shows its hand in the first hour. The apex shows its hand in the second hour. Candle Science tells you which side price goes for. Line or apex tells you if it walks there, or runs there and comes back.
