Source Analysis
Technical analysis books are thoroughly analyzed to extract patterns, rules, and methodologies.
Pattern Codification
Each pattern is codified with identification criteria, volume rules, and measuring formulas.
AI Training
The codified knowledge is used to train the AI to recognize patterns in chart images.
Continuous Learning
As more sources are added, the brain becomes more sophisticated and accurate.
