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

- 824 of the 1,584 scenarios in the current snapshot score long, while 760 score short.
- No framework exceeds the 65% direction guardrail in either direction.
- Scalp currently leans 53% short, while swing leans 55% long.

Long share

52%

Overall share of long-scored scenarios in the current reporting snapshot.

Short share

48%

Overall share of short-scored scenarios in the same snapshot.

Guardrail

65%

Maximum one-sided imbalance allowed by the scenario audit rules.

Direction balance matters because training libraries can drift

If a practice library gets too long-heavy or too short-heavy, traders start learning the bias of the dataset instead of improving the read itself.

That is why CandleDojo keeps a direction-imbalance guardrail in the scenario pipeline. The public reporting snapshot currently sits close to balanced overall rather than leaning too hard to one side.

The framework splits are close, but not artificially flat

Scalp currently comes in at 47% long and 53% short. Intraday lands at 53% long, while swing lands at 55% long.

That is close enough to avoid a structural bias without forcing every framework into a fake 50-50 split. The goal is realism with guardrails, not symmetry theater.

Asset-class splits still move, but stay inside the same discipline

Crypto currently skews 53% long, forex skews 53% short, and commodities skew 56% long.

Those pockets behave differently, but none of them are one-sided enough to overwhelm the practice loop.
