How It Works

Turn market movement into readable patterns

Classify each move

Each price move is grouped into A, B, C, D, or E based on how strong the gain or loss was. A marks a large gain, C represents mostly flat movement, and E marks a large loss.

Match similar setups

Recent letter sequences are compared against historical market behavior to find moments that looked similar before the next move happened.
