Recipes
Indicator recipes distilled from our own research
A recipe is the structure of an indicator: its measures, its market regimes and its signal conditions, with the range of each parameter. The Builder starts from it. Each recipe states its own evidence tier, and a recipe with no evidence from our research archive says so plainly.
Evidence tiers
Evidence is shown as a tier and a distribution, never one number, and never an amount of money.
