Advanced 1 linked topicEvidence-reviewed

Definitions

In plain terms

A candidate cannot be judged until both sides of its neighborhood are present.

Technical

Scope

Mixing timeframes, sessions, or adjustment bases invalidates the comparison.

Examples

  • A reviewer computes Pivot Neighborhood on a small deterministic fixture and checks timing, units, and boundary behavior before publication.

Common misconceptions

  • Mixing timeframes, sessions, or adjustment bases invalidates the comparison.

    Supports: preferred label, short definition, technical definition

    Limits: Platform display behavior does not establish financial usefulness or predictive value.

    Supports: preferred label, short definition, technical definition

    Limits: This retrospective signal function is not itself a causal OHLC pivot detector.
