Key Levels (Trade UP)These are levels used to determine the area in which the price of an asset may find support or resistance.
9:30 AM RuleThe 9:30-11:00 AM window isn't just "market open"
It's when institutions reveal their hand
Big money can't hide. When Goldman or Citadel or any major fund needs to move size, they HAVE to do it when liquidity is highest. That's the first 90 minutes.
If they're buying, price expands up from the open
If they're selling, price expands down from the open
If they're not doing shit, price chops sideways
That expansion (or lack of expansion) tells you EVERYTHING about what's going to happen the rest of the day
The 9:30 AM Rule:
Look at the opening 30-minute candle (9:30-10:00)
Did price expand aggressively in one direction?
Did it take out the overnight high or low?
Did it leave a fair value gap behind?
Yes to all three = the direction is set. Trade with it.
No expansion? Price just chopping around the open? Close your laptop. The day is garbage. Institutions aren't playing.
The 90-minute trading day:
9:15 - Open charts, mark overnight high/low
9:30 - Watch for expansion off the open
9:45 - If expansion + sweep + gap = enter trade
10:30 - Hit target or get stopped
11:00 - Done for the day regardless
That's it. That's the whole "job."

Enigma DaytradingThis indicator provides a complete intraday trading system for 3 assets from the futures market (GC, 6B, and CL) during the New York session using integrated historical price databases as its foundation. All of this is included in 1 single indicator.
In the following image, the different options for the integrated databases can be seen. The indicator will only display 1 database at a time, the one you choose in its settings.
Note : You can add several instances of the indicator at a time and choose a different database for each instance, one for each day of the week for example, to avoid the need to manually change the database every single day. You also have the option of adding the name of the database that you currently have selected as a watermark in the chart. This option is easily seen in the settings of the indicator and can be either turned on or off.
The relevant price areas and levels derived from the integrated historical price databases are determined based on the time at which price exits the Opening Range, which is the first hour of the New York session that goes from 9:30 AM EST to 10:25 AM EST.
Once price exits the Opening Range, the indicator will display the relevant price levels for that session based on which day it is, the time at which price exited the Opening Range, and the final factor is whether price is either above or below the Opening Range price area.
The historical data that will be displayed is filtered so that only those with matching conditions are taken into account. This makes it possible for the indicator to display historical data produced by previous sessions with several similar circunstances than the ones we are encountering in the current session.
Once the relevant price levels for the session are displayed, they do not change and will remain the same for the entirety of the session.
How to interpret the indicator
The relevant price levels are displayed in the following way:
• Entry levels and stop-loss levels as colored boxes. These boxes may contain several levels within them. The basic logic is to enter once price touches the colored box, and place the stop-loss behind the colored box. Depending on the size of the colored box and the number of levels it contains, the stop-loss can be placed only 2 or 3 levels behind the entry level.
The levels in the colored boxes can be easily identified as a change in tone within the box. The following image provides a graphical example of this, and the difference in color tones within each box is quite clear.
• Exit levels as colored horizontal lines: Each colored box will have a colored line with its matching color. Depending on which box you used for entry, the corresponding exit level should be the colored line of the same matching color.
This color-coded visualization makes it possible to easily identify the corresponding exit level based on the time of your entry.
The chosen colors and their lighter-tone variations can be easily modified from the indicator's settings.
These correlations between the displayed price levels, or in other words, between where and when to enter and where to exit, as well as the methodology on how to structure the integrated databases, are the result of proprietary historical analysis and the true value of this system.
Benefits of the indicator
• It provides direct and actionable data. The price levels displayed on the chart are not subject to any interpretation. They present objective levels and trade ideas.
• It provides the most likely bias for the session. Once the levels are displayed, the bias is towards the location of the exit levels (horizontal colored lines).
Aim of the indicator
The goal is to provide a simple, mechanical, and repeatable trading system with historical data-driven logic resulting in objective and actionable entry, stop-loss, and exit price levels.

Every trade setup presented by the usage of this indicator doesn't constitute investment advice. Past results will never guarantee future performance.
Joker 20The 20% Range Strategy is a rule-based swing trading approach designed to capture price reversals and breakouts within a stock’s defined yearly range.
This strategy works best in range-bound or mildly trending markets and focuses on high-probability entries near extreme price zones.
🔍 Concept
The strategy uses the 52-week High and 52-week Low as reference points.
The total price range between these two levels is divided.
A 20% band from the top and bottom of the range is marked as key decision zones.
📉 Buy Setup (Lower 20% Zone)
When the stock price enters the lower 20% of its 52-week range, it indicates potential undervaluation or strong support.
Entry: Buy on the next candle after price touches or confirms support in the lower zone.
Logic: Risk is limited because price is already near long-term support.
Daily Weekly Monthly Yearly Opens (Trade UP)This indicator automatically displays the opening prices of the year, month, week, and day on the chart, allowing you to quickly identify key market benchmarks and work within the context of a higher timeframe.

Day SeparatorTitle: Professional Day Separator & Custom Session Labels
Description: This indicator is a clean and essential tool for intraday traders (M1, M5, M15) who need a clear visual separation between trading days. Unlike the standard TradingView period breaks, this script allows full control over the appearance and the exact timing of the separators to match your broker's server time.
Key Features:
Deep Black Vertical Lines: High-contrast separators for better chart clarity.
Customizable Thickness: Adjust the line width to suit your visual preference and chart background.
Custom Session Start: Perfect for traders whose "day" starts at a specific time (e.g., 23:00) due to broker offsets or specific session focus.
Centered Day Labels: Day-of-the-week labels (M O N, T U E, etc.) are placed at the bottom of the chart and can be perfectly centered between the separators.
Stability: Built using Pine Script V5 with absolute vertical alignment logic to prevent "leaning" or horizontal line glitches.
How to use:
Line Thickness: Adjust the "Linien Dicke" in the settings to make separators more or less prominent.
Align to Broker Time: If your broker starts the new daily candle at 23:00, simply set the "Tagesbeginn" to 23. The separator will then snap to that exact candle.
Perfect Label Centering: Use the "Label Stunde" slider to move the day labels left or right until they are centered between your lines (usually around 11:00 or 12:00 depending on your offset).
Why use this? Standard session breaks often look cluttered or don't align with local time zones/broker sessions. This script keeps your chart professional and ensures you always know exactly which day of the week you are trading.
Auto Trend LinesPivot Left/Right Bars: Higher = fewer but stronger pivots (try 5-15 for weekly charts)
Extend Lines Forward: How far to project (50-200 bars recommended)
Line Color: Change to match your preference
Show Pivot Markers: Turn on to see where pivots are detected

Educational Trend Direction (Up & Down)🔍 Overview
This indicator is designed to visually represent trend direction and trend transitions using a simple moving-average relationship. It is built strictly for educational and analytical purposes, allowing users to observe how price behaves during upward and downward market phases without relying on trading signals or predictions.
The indicator focuses on trend context, not trade execution.
⚙️ How the Indicator Works
The script calculates two exponential moving averages:
A fast trend line that reacts quickly to recent price changes
A slow trend line that represents broader market direction
Trend direction is determined by the relative position of these two lines.
When the fast line moves above the slow line, the market is considered to be in an upward trend phase
When the fast line moves below the slow line, the market is considered to be in a downward trend phase
This relationship helps visualize trend shifts and momentum changes in a simple and intuitive way.
🎨 Visual Components Explained
🟢 Green Trend Line
Represents the fast moving average during upward trend phases
Indicates that price is maintaining strength relative to the broader trend
Color reflects trend direction only, not confirmation or entry
🔴 Red Trend Line
Represents the fast moving average during downward trend phases
Indicates sustained weakness relative to the broader trend
Color does not imply selling or future continuation
⚪ Grey Trend Line
Represents the slow moving average
Acts as a baseline trend reference
Helps distinguish between short-term fluctuations and broader direction
🎨 Background Shading
Light green shading appears during upward trend environments
Light red shading appears during downward trend environments
Background color provides context only and does not signal market actions
🎯 Purpose & Benefits
Helps identify trend phases in a clear and minimal way
Improves understanding of trend transitions and momentum shifts
Reduces visual noise compared to raw price data
Encourages context-based analysis instead of signal dependency
Suitable for all markets and timeframes
⚠️ Important Notes
This indicator does not generate buy or sell signals
No targets, stop levels, or performance metrics are included
Trend conditions are descriptive, not predictive
Past behavior does not guarantee future outcomes
Users should always apply their own analysis and risk management when interpreting market data.
📚 Intended Use
This tool is intended for:
Market trend study
Educational demonstrations
Visual analysis of trend direction
Long-term chart structure awareness
It is not intended for automated trading or decision-making.
DF Stock Rating TableDF Stock Rating Table.
This indicator provides a comprehensive "at-a-glance" Scorecard for any stock. It is designed for growth traders and investors who follow strategies similar to CAN SLIM or Minervini, helping you instantly separate true Market Leaders from lagging stocks.
It combines Technical Momentum (Price action) with Fundamental Growth (Earnings & Sales) to generate a composite "Overall Rating."
📊 What the Metrics Mean
Here is a breakdown of every row in the dashboard and how to interpret the numbers:
1. RS Rating (Est)
What it is: A 1-99 score measuring the stock's price performance over the last 12 months.
How it works: It uses a weighted formula that gives more importance to the most recent 3 months of price action.
The Goal: A score of 80-99 indicates the stock is in the top tier of price performers. A score below 50 means it is lagging.
Note: This is a mathematical estimation based on fixed benchmarks, as Pine Script cannot scan the entire market relative to other stocks.
2. vs SPY (Alpha)
What it is: Measures the "Relative Strength" of the stock compared specifically to the S&P 500 (SPY).
How to read it:
Positive (Green/Blue): The stock is moving faster than the general market. It is a Leader.
Negative (Red): The stock is performing worse than the market. It is a Laggard.
Why it matters: In a bull market, you want to own stocks that are outperforming the index, not just following it.
3. EPS Growth (YoY)
What it is: Earnings Per Share Growth (Year-Over-Year).
The Math: Compares the most recent Quarterly Earnings to the same quarter one year ago.
Why it matters: This checks Profitability. We look for big double-digit or triple-digit numbers here. If this is Red/Negative, the company's profits are shrinking.
4. Sales Growth (YoY)
What it is: Revenue Growth (Year-Over-Year).
The Math: Compares the most recent Quarterly Revenue to the same quarter one year ago.
Why it matters: This checks Product Popularity. Sales numbers are harder to manipulate than Earnings. If EPS is up but Sales are down, the growth may be low quality (cost-cutting). Ideally, you want to see +25% or higher.
5. OVERALL RATING
The Verdict: A composite score (0-99) that combines all the above factors plus the stock's long-term trend (Moving Averages).
Blue (90+): Elite status. Strong technicals and strong fundamentals.
Green (70+): Strong status. Worth watching or holding.
Gray/Red: Weak or mixed data.
🚀 Key Features
Timeframe Locked: The data is calculated using Daily charts. You can switch to a 5-minute or 1-hour chart to time your entry, and the Fundamental/RS numbers will stay rock solid and accurate.
Hybrid Analysis: Most indicators are only technical. This pulls live Financial Data from TradingView to give you the fundamental picture instantly.
Customizable Position: Go to Settings to move the dashboard to any corner of your screen (Top Right, Bottom Left, etc.).
Crypto/Forex Friendly: If Financial Data (Earnings) is not available for an asset (like Bitcoin), the script automatically detects this and calculates the rating based purely on Price Performance.
⚠️ Disclaimer
This tool is for educational and analytical purposes only. High ratings do not guarantee future price increases. Always manage risk and do your own due diligence.
Educational Market Structure & Trend Context🔍 Overview
This time-limited indicator is designed for educational and analytical purposes only. It helps users visually study price structure behavior and trend context by marking key structural points on the chart and overlaying a trend reference line. The indicator does not generate trading signals, predictions, or recommendations.
⚙️ How the Indicator Works
The script analyzes price action over a user-defined lookback period to identify local structural points:
Higher Highs within the selected range
Lower Lows within the selected range
These points are plotted as simple visual markers to help users understand how price is evolving over time.
In addition, a moving average is applied to provide broader trend context.
🟢 Green Markers (Structure Strength)
Appear when price forms a local higher high within the lookback window
Represent relative strength in price structure
They are not buy signals and do not indicate future movement
🔴 Red Markers (Structure Weakness)
Appear when price forms a local lower low within the lookback window
Represent relative weakness in price structure
They are not sell signals and do not indicate reversals
➖ Grey Line (Trend Context Line)
This line is a moving average calculated over a fixed period
It provides trend context only, helping users visually distinguish between upward and downward environments
It does not act as support, resistance, or entry guidance
🎨 Background Shading (Optional Context)
A subtle background color may appear depending on price position relative to the trend line
This shading is purely visual context, not a signal or confirmation
🎯 Purpose & Benefits
Helps users study market structure in a clean and simple way
Encourages price-action awareness instead of signal dependency
Supports manual analysis, learning, and chart reading skills
Keeps the chart minimal, non-predictive, and professional
⚠️ Important Notes
This indicator does not provide buy/sell signals
No targets, stop levels, or profit expectations are included
Past structure points do not predict future outcomes
Users should apply their own analysis and risk management
Wyckoff Cycle Detection ProWyckoff Market Structure Indicator – Full Cycle Detection
Overview
The Wyckoff Market Structure Indicator is an original TradingView tool designed to identify and visualize the full Wyckoff market cycle using objective, rule-based market structure analysis. The indicator automatically detects Accumulation, Markup, Distribution, and Markdown phases, including Re-Accumulation and Re-Distribution, and displays each phase directly on the chart using clearly defined visual elements.
Rather than relying on rigid, textbook pattern templates, the script applies adaptive logic to interpret real-world price behavior. This allows it to recognize Wyckoff structures even when price action deviates from idealized examples, which is common in live markets.
What the Indicator Displays
Once a Wyckoff phase is confirmed, the indicator plots:
Colored phase boxes to define the active market phase
Dynamic support and resistance levels derived from structural extremes
Wyckoff event labels that appear only when contextual conditions are met
An optional dotted Automatic Rally (AR) extension line to visualize range projection
The indicator operates in real time using confirmed data only and does not rely on future-looking calculations.
Wyckoff Events Identified
During Accumulation, the script may label:
Preliminary Support (PS)
Selling Climax (SC)
Automatic Rally (AR)
Secondary Test (ST)
Spring / Shakeout and Tests (when conditions support them)
Sign of Strength (SOS)
Last Point of Support (LPS)
Back-Up (BU)
During Distribution, the script may label:
Preliminary Supply (PSY)
Buying Climax (BC)
Automatic Reaction (AR)
Secondary Test (ST)
Upthrust / UTAD
Sign of Weakness (SOW)
Last Point of Supply (LPSY)
Labels are only plotted when price structure, volatility behavior, and contextual conditions reasonably support the Wyckoff interpretation, helping reduce visual noise and false signals.
How It Works
The indicator evaluates multiple market factors simultaneously, including:
Swing structure and range development
Volatility behavior using ATR-based measurements
Relative expansion and contraction within trading ranges
Prior trend context to distinguish accumulation from distribution
By combining these inputs, the script focuses on identifying meaningful institutional-style accumulation and distribution rather than random consolidation.
Practical Use
Traders can use this indicator to:
Determine the current Wyckoff phase and dominant market intent
Align trades with Markup or Markdown phases
Identify potential accumulation and distribution zones
Add objective structure and context to discretionary price-action analysis
Review historical cycles for study or strategy refinement (optional)
The indicator is designed to work across all major markets, including Forex, stocks, crypto, and futures, and is applicable to any timeframe.
Design Philosophy
The script emphasizes clarity and usability. It requires minimal configuration, keeps charts readable, and allows optional visibility of historical Wyckoff cycles for educational or analytical purposes.
Disclaimer
This indicator is intended for educational and analytical use only and does not constitute financial advice. Always apply proper risk management when trading.
KaiBot Staircase Magnetized editionOverview
The KaiBot Staircase is a multi-timeframe trend analysis indicator that visualizes hierarchical price levels across different timeframes, creating a "staircase" effect. It helps traders identify confluence zones where multiple timeframe trends align and detect momentum shifts through dynamic color coding.
Core Concept
The indicator operates on a parent-child timeframe relationship:
Each timeframe has a corresponding "sub-timeframe" that acts as its leading signal
For example: the 15m timeframe pairs with 1m, 1H pairs with 3m, 4H pairs with 15m, Daily pairs with 1H, etc.
This creates a cascade from micro to macro timeframes spanning 1 minute to 12 months
Key Features:
1. Adaptive Timeframe Lines
Automatically selects the relevant timeframe based on your chart.
Shows trend lines which help you find pivotal levels in time.
2. Magnet Zones
Highlights support/resistance zones.
Optionally creates a "typical price" pivot with extension targets.
3. Fluctuation Color System
The lines change color based on momentum state of the parent timeframe:
Lime: Strong bullish momentum (increasing)
Green: Bullish but decelerating
Red: Strong bearish momentum (increasing)
Maroon: Bearish but decelerating
Gray: "Danger zone" - low volatility/squeeze condition
4. Lead Line
A directional signal line showing immediate trend (green = bullish bias, red = bearish).
5. Information Table
Displays all active timeframe pairs.
Shows time remaining until each timeframe closes.
Color-coded to match the fluctuation state.
Settings
Show TF lines for: Main Only / Main+Parent / Parentception (recursive) / All above main
Max TF lines: Limit when showing "All above main" (1-15)
Show pivot zones for: Control which timeframes display magnet zones
Show main pivot extensions: Enable extended target levels
Show lead line: Toggle the directional signal line
Disable danger zone gray: Force colors even during squeeze conditions
Show fluctuation colours for: Control which lines receive momentum coloring
Color gaps between TF lines: Fill areas between staircase levels
Only show visible TF index: Filter table to displayed timeframes only
How to Use
Trend Confirmation: When multiple timeframe lines are the same color, it indicates trend alignment across timeframes
Support/Resistance: Use the magnet zones as potential reversal or continuation areas
Squeeze Detection: Gray coloring warns of consolidation periods that often precede breakouts
Time Management: The table shows when each timeframe candle closes, helping time entries/exits
Best Practices
Use "Main and Parentception" mode to see the recursive timeframe hierarchy.
Watch for color transitions from gray to directional colors (breakout signals).
Higher timeframe lines act as stronger support/resistance levels.
The lead line provides early directional bias before the main line confirms.
GT Model IndicatorThis indicator will help you detect 15m FVGs on NQ. After setting the alert, you can check the chart to see if the FVG aligns with the Bias. This way, when the price reenters this FVG, we can check the LTF for an IFVG that aligns with the Bias. If you find this FVG interesting, set a manual alert on the FVG again, let the price return, and see if you can initiate a continuation trade towards the clear DOL.
You can also specify a time window for the alerts to arrive.
This indicator is for "NQ1!"
We will update this Script allong the way, so stay tuned, more to come.
Neeson Mayer MultipleIntegrating the Mayer Multiple Indicator: A Practical Guide for Market Analysis
Introduction
The Mayer Multiple indicator is a specialized tool designed to assess asset valuations relative to their long-term historical trends. By comparing current price action against a long-term simple moving average, this indicator provides a quantitative framework for identifying potential overbought and oversold conditions. This article explains the rationale behind its design, operational mechanics, practical applications, and unique value proposition.
Purpose and Functionality
The primary function of the Mayer Multiple indicator is to measure how far current prices deviate from a long-term moving average, expressed as a ratio. This measurement helps traders and investors identify:
Extreme valuation levels that may signal potential reversal points
Long-term trend strength and sustainability
Market psychology shifts between fear and greed cycles
Originally popularized in Bitcoin analysis, the indicator's principles apply to any volatile asset class where mean reversion tendencies exist alongside strong trend characteristics.
Operational Principles
The indicator operates through several interconnected components:
Core Calculation Mechanism
At its heart, the indicator calculates the Mayer Multiple by dividing the current closing price by a configurable simple moving average (default: 200 periods). This ratio represents how many times the current price exceeds its long-term average, providing an immediate visual reference for valuation extremes.
Multi-Level Threshold System
Four configurable thresholds create distinct market condition zones:
Optimal Buy Zone (default: 0.7) - Historically extreme undervaluation
Undervalued Zone (default: 1.0) - Moderate undervaluation
Overvalued Zone (default: 2.4) - Moderate overvaluation
Optimal Sell Zone (default: 3.5) - Historically extreme overvaluation
These thresholds create a graduated scale of market conditions rather than binary signals.
Visual Signal Hierarchy
A sophisticated color-coding system prioritizes different signal types based on their significance:
White/Gray: Neutral territory (between undervalued and overvalued thresholds)
Aqua: Entering undervalued territory (potential accumulation zone)
White: Reaching optimal buying conditions (historically rare opportunities)
Yellow: Entering overvalued territory (potential distribution zone)
Orange: Reaching optimal selling conditions (historically rare extremes)
Green: Emerging from optimal buying conditions (momentum shift confirmation)
Red: Retreating from optimal selling conditions (momentum reversal confirmation)
This hierarchy helps users distinguish between entry signals, exit signals, and confirmation signals.
Integration Rationale
The integration of these components follows a logical progression:
Mathematical Foundation
The moving average provides a stable reference point that filters out short-term noise while maintaining sensitivity to long-term trend changes. The ratio format normalizes values across different price levels and timeframes, enabling cross-asset comparisons.
Behavioral Finance Alignment
The threshold system corresponds to documented market psychology patterns. The extreme thresholds (optimal buy/sell) represent points where fear or greed typically reach maximum intensity, while the moderate thresholds represent early warning levels.
Progressive Signal Detection
The indicator tracks both threshold breaches and retreats from extreme zones. This dual-tracking approach captures not only when conditions become extreme but also when they begin to normalize—often the most actionable moments for position adjustments.
Component Synergy
The indicator's components work together through a continuous feedback loop:
Calculation Engine: Continuously computes the core ratio, serving as the foundation for all subsequent analysis.
Threshold Comparator: Compares the current ratio against user-defined thresholds, categorizing market conditions in real-time.
Signal Generator: Identifies specific events (threshold crossings, zone entries/exits) and assigns appropriate visual representations.
Visual Renderer: Displays the information through colored histograms, reference lines, and data tables, creating an intuitive interface.
Alert System: Monitors for predefined conditions and notifies users of significant developments without requiring constant screen monitoring.
This integrated approach transforms raw price data into structured, actionable information while maintaining mathematical rigor and visual clarity.
Practical Application Guidelines
Parameter Customization
Users should adjust parameters based on:
Asset volatility (higher volatility assets may require wider thresholds)
Timeframe (longer timeframes may benefit from longer moving averages)
Personal risk tolerance (conservative traders may use tighter thresholds)
Signal Interpretation Framework
Zone-Based Analysis: Focus on which zone the indicator occupies rather than chasing individual data points
Confirmation Seeking: Use extreme zone signals (white/orange) as alerts for further analysis rather than automatic trade triggers
Momentum Assessment: Observe how quickly the indicator moves between zones as a measure of trend strength
Complementary Tools
The Mayer Multiple works best when combined with:
Volume analysis to confirm participation during extreme readings
Momentum indicators to identify potential divergence
Support/resistance levels for precise entry/exit timing
Fundamental analysis for context validation
Distinctive Attributes
Original Implementation Features
Progressive Color System: Unlike binary indicators, this implementation provides graduated signals through a carefully prioritized color hierarchy.
Dual-Signal Detection: The indicator captures both threshold breaches and retreats, offering insights into momentum shifts rather than just static levels.
Contextual Display: The integrated data table provides immediate access to key metrics without cluttering the chart space.
Customizable Framework: All thresholds and calculation periods are adjustable, allowing adaptation to different market regimes and trading styles.
Practical Innovation
The indicator's design emphasizes usability through:
Immediate visual comprehension via color coding
Clear separation between alert conditions and confirmation signals
Balanced information density (sufficient data without overload)
Flexible integration with existing trading workflows
Responsible Usage Considerations
Empirical Perspective
Historical analysis suggests that assets frequently revert toward their long-term moving averages, but the timing and extent of such reversions vary significantly. The indicator identifies statistical extremes rather than predicting immediate price movements.
Risk Management Integration
Users should:
Treat extreme readings as risk management triggers rather than directional forecasts
Consider position sizing based on distance from the moving average
Implement stop-loss strategies regardless of indicator readings
Avoid allocating excessive weight to any single indicator
Performance Realism
The indicator does not guarantee profitable outcomes. Its value lies in providing structured information about valuation extremes, which must be interpreted within broader market context and individual risk parameters.
Conclusion
The Mayer Multiple indicator represents a thoughtfully integrated approach to long-term valuation analysis. By combining mathematical rigor with behavioral insights and practical visualization, it provides traders with a structured framework for assessing market extremes. Its modular design allows customization while maintaining core analytical integrity, and its emphasis on graduated signals helps avoid the oversimplification common in technical indicators. When used as part of a comprehensive trading methodology with appropriate risk management, it can contribute valuable perspective to the decision-making process.
