FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A streak is a run of consecutive candles with the same energy state. Average, median and maximum are computed over COMPLETED streaks; the ongoing streak is excluded from historical stats and reported separately to avoid biasing the numbers.

The sample contains 3,591 candles from 2023-07-31 to 2026-10-23, computed with 2AiTrading's proprietary Market Energy model. Data is captured at candle close and locked immutable over time to keep the statistics stable.

Are these numbers a prediction?

No. These are historical frequencies describing NTC's past behavior — not future probabilities and not buy/sell advice. Investors should combine them with their own trading method and do full research before applying.
