Why the scenario library is weighted toward hard setups

A look at the current difficulty mix and why hard scenarios outnumber easy ones in CandleDojo’s reporting snapshot.

Highlights

  • - 861 scenarios in the current snapshot are labeled hard, or about 54% 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

54%

Most scenarios in the current reporting snapshot are labeled hard.

Easy-share

19%

Easy scenarios remain useful for onboarding and recovery reps.

Medium-share

27%

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 remain plausible for longer.

Difficulty is about the read, not the eventual outcome.

Why the library is not built around mostly easy reps

Easy reps are useful 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 rather than only recognize a shape.
