The Twelve Measurements
Every Farlens reading is built from twelve independent measurements — price structure, participation, positioning, world events and market chatter, each with a published weight. This course teaches them one at a time: what each one measures, why it moves prices daily and hourly, how to read it, and — the part most education skips — what it cannot tell you.
Lesson 1 is free below, so you can judge the quality yourself. The full course — all twelve lessons, each with a worked example from a real reading — is included with the Core plan and read inside the Farlens portal, alongside the live readings it teaches you to understand.
To be clear about what stays free: the methodology itself — all twelve weights, the validation results, the missing-data rules — is published openly and always will be. The course is the guided, worked-example teaching built on top of it.

How the twelve become one number
Each measurement scores independently on a −100…+100 scale, is multiplied by its published weight, and the composite is the weighted average of the measurements present for that instrument on that day. Coverage is honest by design: a measurement that cannot be observed is skipped rather than counted as neutral, US equities typically get nine of twelve, crypto nine, Gulf names and indices six — and no instrument can ever get all twelve, because two measurements are US-equity-only and two are crypto-only. The full arithmetic, and the validation that shaped it, is on the methodology page.
