Why Most Strategies Fail

Most strategies don’t fail because of bad logic.

They fail because they don’t know when NOT to trade.

Markets move through different conditions:

trending vs ranging
high vs low volatility
active vs dead sessions

Traditional datasets don’t capture that.

Our datasets do.

Each file includes structured context so your system can filter bad trades and identify high-quality conditions.

What’s Included

Session labeling (market timing context)
Volatility metrics (ATR, range)
Market state classification (LIVE / DEAD)
Structural signals (compression / expansion)
Data integrity flags (gap detection)
