The core operations of Jester can be outlined as follows:

* **Analysis**: Jester continuously monitors the pair to identify significant patterns and trends. It uses a combination of unique moving averages, price action, and other proprietary indicators to understand the current market scenario.
* **Assessment**: A key component of Jester’s strategy is to gauge where the market is most liquid, and determines where there is a convergence of high and low prices over a specified period. These zones provide insights into potential support and resistance levels.
* **Measurement**: Average True Range (ATR) is utilized to measure market volatility. This helps in adjusting the strategy according to market conditions, as well as setting appropriate stop-loss and take-profit levels.
* **Generation**: Buy and sell signals within Jester are generated based on a combination of crossover strategies, price level breaks, patterns, and "secret sauce". These are derived from a mix of short-term and long-term price movements and smoothed out by various moving averages and other proprietary strategies.
* **Detection**: Jester seeks points of confluence, where multiple indicators provide the same signal, to increase the confidence of a potential trade.
* **Execution**: When all conditions are met, Jester sends the signal, ensuring that entries and exits are timed to optimize the potential outcome.
