Guides
Each guide follows one real market episode on OKX perpetual swaps, with the candles, band values and funding data it is based on. We include the cases where the indicator failed, not only the ones that worked.

How these guides are made
Every number is recalculated from exchange data that we archive with the guide. Charts are drawn from that data or captured from the market chart on this site. Our editorial method explains the sources, the checks and how to report an error.
