USD/ZAR Edge Score
Unlike a vote count, this weighs each recent signal by the edge we have measured for it across our own history — and signals with no proven edge count for nothing.
5 signals fired in the last 14 days. None carried a measured edge, so the honest reading is: nothing here to act on.
A reading of recent history, not a forecast. Edges are measured on our stored candles and shift as more data accumulates.
