      "paragraphs": [
        "MOONWAVE is a market trend prediction platform that delivers high-probability buy, sell, and derisk signals, presented through intuitive graphs and indicators.",
        "Unlike traditional lagging technical indicators, MOONWAVE identifies statistically favorable turning points by modeling liquidity dynamics and wave interference in the order book. It is designed for day traders, swing traders, and longer-term investors who want clearer decision frameworks without excessive noise.",

      "question": "How does MOONWAVE predict market movements?",
      "paragraphsHtml": [
        "The price of speculative assets can be described as the result of the formula", 
        "<strong>Price = 'Risk Appetite' × 'Liquidity'</strong>",
        "Or, in other words, <strong>'How much risk are investors comfortable with right now?'</strong> times <strong>'How' cheap' (low-risk) is money right now?'</strong>",
        "MOONWAVE combines a proprietary wave-based prediction model with the FXwave liquidity oscillator. The wave model identifies high-probability pivot zones; FXwave provides real-time confirmation or invalidation by measuring actual liquidity conditions. This dual approach helps surface statistically favorable setups in advance, before traditional indicators react."

      "question": "The Science: How does MOONWAVE generate signals?",
      "paragraphsHtml": [
        "MOONWAVE models the limit-order book as a layered, non-material fluid. Imbalances in resting liquidity create propagating pressure waves. These demand-liquidity waves travel inward through two distinct regimes — a fast, short-memory inner layer and a slower, long-memory outer layer — toward the mid-price.",
        "Entry and exit signals are generated at statistically predictable depths and times where multiple waves arrive in phase. This produces either constructive interference (amplified directional momentum or breakouts) or destructive interference (momentum cancellation, equilibrium, or reversal).",
        "The framework rests on the empirical observation that the fluctuation-dissipation relation holds in order-book data, making wave propagation, damping, and interference patterns repeatable rather than purely random. It draws directly from foundational econophysics work: Bachelier’s <em>Théorie de la spéculation</em> (Bachelier, 1900), the formalization of demand-liquidity wave dynamics in multi-agent markets (Bak et al., 1997), and the detailed treatment of the financial Brownian particle in layered order-book fluids together with fluctuation-dissipation relations (Yura et al., 2014). Real-time confirmation comes from the FXwave liquidity oscillator."

      "question": "What is the FXwave Oscillator?",
      "paragraphs": [
        "The FXwave Oscillator provides real-time momentum analysis of major currency pairs to estimate market liquidity conditions, both as a multi-day trend and on an intraday scale. It serves as the 'Liquidity' component in the Risk Appetite × Liquidity framework and acts as a powerful confirmation or invalidation layer for the primary wave signals."
