Common mistakes

  • Reading a trend from one or two sessions.

    Give it about five sessions before treating a line as a real trend.

  • Skipping the retest, so you never confirm the change stuck.

    Re-record the same way after practicing and compare against where you started.

Trust & accuracy

SwingVantage is honest about certainty: findings are labeled by how they were produced and how confident they are. Treat them as a strong starting point you confirm with your own retest, not a final verdict.
