Overview
TrueFlow only opens a position when two independent signals agree: a statistical "is this move real or just random wandering" reading (Random Walk Index), and a volume-energy reading (On Balance Volume) confirming genuine buying or selling pressure behind the move. An ATR-based energy filter keeps the system out of dead, low-volatility sessions. Designed for H1 charts on instruments with reliable trade volume.

Timeframe & Instruments
Timeframe: H1 (M30-H4 also workable). Best fit: Index futures / US Stocks / Crypto (instruments with reliable real trade volume, since OBV needs genuine volume data). Simulated frequency check on synthetic H1 data: ~2.0 signal windows/day at default settings.
