How this page was made

This insight page is first-party reporting from CandleDojo. It summarizes public reporting snapshots and scenario-library data rather than making promises about profitability or live trading outcomes.

Highlights

— 347 scenarios in the current snapshot are labeled hard, or about 64% of the reporting set.
— Easy scenarios still matter, but they are not enough on their own to build durable context recognition.
— Difficulty labels are about read clarity, not about promising trade outcomes or profitability.

Hard-share

64%

Most scenarios in the current reporting snapshot are labeled hard.

Easy-share

11%

Easy scenarios remain useful for onboarding and recovery reps.

Medium-share

25%

Medium setups bridge clean textbook reads and harder context calls.

Hard does not mean dramatic

Hard scenarios are usually the ones where context is less obvious, trend clues arrive later, or multiple interpretations stay plausible for longer.

Difficulty is about the read, not the eventual outcome.

Why the library is not built around mostly easy reps

Easy reps matter for onboarding, but a library dominated by easy setups would flatten out too quickly.

Once the basics are in place, more growth usually comes from medium and hard reads because they force the trader to explain context instead of only recognizing a shape.

Read the data. Then train the reps.
