How this page was made

CandleDojo's shared scenario rules classify difficulty from the size of the move between entry close and replay close. Easy starts at 2.0% or higher, medium starts at 1.0% or higher, and hard sits below that threshold band down to the minimum move floor.
That does not capture every nuance of chart difficulty, but it gives the library one clean standard for tagging reps consistently.
Easy scenarios currently average 8.902% absolute move with a median of 7.470%. Medium scenarios average 1.805%, and hard scenarios average 0.498%.
That spread is wide enough to make the difficulty buckets feel meaningfully different in practice rather than only different in name.
Hard scenarios still account for 861 of the 1,584 scenarios in the public snapshot.
That bias is intentional. Easier reps help with onboarding, but medium and hard reps usually expose more about whether the trader understands context rather than just the cleanest textbook shapes.
