Frequently Asked Questions
What does this indicator construction & comparison directory cover?
Build, evaluate, and combine technical indicators including SMC, FVG, liquidity sweeps, OBV, and multi-asset overlays. The directory links to 169 guides. Check each guide for sources, examples, and limitations.
Does a working script prove that a trading rule is reliable?
No. Compilation checks language syntax. You still need to examine signal timing, data availability, order assumptions, costs, and performance outside the period used to choose the rules.
