Where Our Data Comes From
We do not buy live data feeds and we do not invent numbers. Every analysis is built from:
- Our own charts. Prices are read manually from a TradingView chart or the analyst’s broker feed. Every post states the price reference, the time it was taken (PKT and UTC), and the source.
- Official economic calendars. Event times come from free official sources such as central bank schedules and government statistics releases. We never guess event times.
- No order flow data. We do not have access to institutional order flow, positioning data, or interbank feeds. Any analysis that claims to see “smart money” flows is an interpretation of price structure, not a measurement.
Because prices are written by hand, they can be seconds out of date. That is why every post carries a timestamp and why we describe zones, never exact prices, for trade levels.
What Our Terms Mean
- Zone
- A price area where a reaction is plausible — for example, a previous high, a support/resistance area, or a liquidity pool. Zones are ranges, not exact numbers, because price rarely turns on a single pip.
- Scenario
- One possible path price could take, written conditionally: “if price holds above X, then Y becomes possible.” Every analysis has at least two scenarios so the reader sees more than one outcome.
- Invalidation level
- The price that proves a scenario wrong. If price trades beyond the invalidation level, the idea is dead — there is no waiting, hoping, or moving the line. Every scenario lists its invalidation level.
- Confluence Checklist
- A five-item checklist scored before an idea is written (see below). It is a discipline tool, not a prediction.
The Confluence Checklist
Before any idea is published, it is scored against five criteria. Each “yes” is one point:
- The higher-timeframe structure (H4/H8) and the H1 view point the same way.
- Price is already at a marked level or zone of interest (liquidity zone or point of interest).
- No tier-1 event is scheduled in the next two hours.
- The lower timeframe shows a reaction or confirmation — never a prediction.
- The next logical target offers at least 1:2 risk-to-reward from the idea’s zone.
This is a checklist, not a probability.
A score of 5/5 is not a guarantee. A score of 2/5 is not a reason to ignore risk. The checklist exists so that every idea is judged by the same standard, and so that readers can see exactly what was — and was not — in place when the idea was written.
How Every Outlook Is Reviewed
Analysis without review is marketing. Here is our review loop:
- Each weekly outlook includes a review of last week’s ideas with the real outcome: played out, invalidated, or never triggered.
- Outcomes are recorded on the public scorecard with raw counts and the total number of ideas. Wrong calls stay in the table.
- Until the sample is large, we do not publish a win-rate headline. Small samples are noise, and we will not dress them up as statistics.
- Market commentary is timestamped and goes stale within 24–72 hours. Education articles are evergreen and carry no live view. Trade scenarios always carry zones, invalidation levels, and a risk line.
Corrections Policy
Mistakes happen. Here is what we do about them:
- If you spot an error in any analysis or guide, contact us through the contact page with the page URL and what is wrong.
- Confirmed corrections are made on the page itself and marked with the correction date, so readers can see what changed and when.
- We never silently edit an analysis after the fact to make a call look better. The original text stays, and the correction is shown alongside it.
What We Never Do
- We sell no signals. There are no paid VIP groups, no copy-trading offers, and no “guaranteed” trade calls anywhere on this site or our social channels.
- No profit screenshots or testimonials. We do not publish results, win rates, or testimonials because they cannot be independently verified and they mislead more than they inform.
- No “sure thing” language. Words like guaranteed, certain, or 100% never appear in our analysis. If an idea is uncertain, the text says so.
Conflict of interest
The analyst may trade gold himself. Our analysis is educational commentary, not a record of the analyst’s own positions, and it is never a recommendation to buy or sell.
