What is analog pattern matching?

Analog pattern matching compares today's price structure to historical episodes with similar multi-timeframe behavior. Instead of a single indicator, RiskWhale scores alignment across daily, weekly, and monthly contexts, then surfaces forward return distributions from prior matches.

Why traders use historical analogs

• Frame regime risk when headlines are noisy but price action rhymes with a prior cycle.
• See how often similar setups led to continuation vs mean reversion over 5–60 day horizons.
• Pair analog context with options flow, sector rotation, and macro calendars on one desk.
