FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long does VTA usually stay in Bull Bias?

On average 2.9 candles, median 2, longest 29 (across 203 historical streaks). The current streak is at candle 2.

Where is the market within its current zone?

The Bull Bias zone spans 20.88% to 60%. The market is at 53.81%, 6.19 points from the upper bound and 32.93 points from the lower bound — closer to the upper bound of the zone.

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 3,317 candles from 2012-03-21 to 2026-10-16, 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 VTA'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.

What are the 7 market energy states?

Market Energy measures the market on a -100% to +100% scale, split into 7 zones from Bear Extreme to Bull Extreme; every closed candle belongs to exactly one zone.
