Data & methodology

All NQ and MNQ examples use Databento GLBX.MDP3 1-minute OHLCV candles for continuous front-month E-mini Nasdaq-100 futures, aggregated to higher timeframes (5m, 15m, 1h, 4h) so every bar agrees across timeframes. Sessions run 01:00–16:00 ET. ICT overlays are drawn algorithmically from the same price data used in the replay trainer.
