The early rhythm signal usually tracks the total direction. Efficiency edge (side): Over the larger sample, it leans to Oklahoma City Thunder when possessions remain cleaner and the glass is controlled. Those extra chances can swing the margin.

If the market moves, take it as a prompt to confirm the inputs instead of forcing the first read.
