Read OHLC candles without inventing the price path
Use a worked candle to distinguish body, range and missing intrabar information before drawing conclusions.
TradingView Bar Replay: a reproducible practice checklist
Create an auditable replay exercise with recorded settings, hidden future bars and separate simulated results.
A backtest checklist: costs, look-ahead and overfitting
Audit a hypothetical result before trusting its headline return, with a worked cost-sensitivity example.
A perfect sample correlation is not a causal explanation
Pearson correlation summarizes a linear relationship between paired observations.
Why exponential moving averages can disagree at the start
An exponential moving average depends on its previous value, so a reproducible calculation needs an initialization rule.
Use the data vintage that existed at the decision time
An economic observation can refer to an earlier month while being published later and revised again afterward.
Linear and logarithmic chart distance: the same prices, different view
A linear price axis gives equal distance to equal absolute changes.
Mean and median trade results tell different stories
One average can conceal a highly uneven set of outcomes.
Compare differently priced series by rebasing to 100
Rebasing divides each observation by its own starting value and multiplies by 100.
Why two percentile calculators can return different answers
A percentile summarizes a position within sorted data, but several finite-sample conventions exist.
Sample and population standard deviation: why the denominator matters
A standard deviation describes dispersion around a mean using squared deviations.
A simple moving average needs a defined window
A moving average is a calculation over a chosen set of observations, not a forecast.
True range includes a gap that high minus low can miss
High minus low measures the distance covered between a bar’s extremes.
