FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long does VDP usually stay in Bear Extreme?

How are these statistics calculated?

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.

Where does the data come from and how many candles?

The sample contains 1,985 candles from 2017-08-16 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 VDP'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.
