01 / YOUR QUESTION

“Do high-volume breakouts continue more often?”

Your words stay visible throughout the investigation.

EDGE / AI INTERPRETATION

“This appears to be a breakout-continuation question involving elevated volume. First, let’s make ‘continue’ explicit.”

Recognised concepts: breakout structure · volume · continuation

02 / ONLY THE CHOICES THAT MATTER

EDGE asks only for decisions that materially change the study.

01 / YOUR DECISION

Which outcome do you mean?

Average return differs from continuation frequency. Choosing it changes the question.

Choosing average return changes a continuation-frequency question.

Example: explicitly choose the return alternative

Illustrative choice · not an account decision

02 / YOUR DECISION

Which bar interval?

Choose the completed-bar interval. EDGE should not quietly decide for you.

Choose the completed-bar interval.

Example: 1-hour bars

Illustrative choice · not an account decision

03 / YOUR DECISION

Which direction?

Make the directional question explicit before reviewing the study.

Choose the setup’s direction.

Example: upward breakouts

Approval, execution and results are distinct stages. This preview does not submit research.

05 / UNDERSTAND

A clear answer. A trail you can inspect.

Separate fixed synthetic example: momentum-confirmed breakouts. This is not a result for the high-volume question above.
