Understand Flare, the FTSO, and how we measure accuracy
Everything here is drawn from the work behind Seraphim FTSO, layered so you can go as deep as you want — start with the basics, or jump straight to the reward math or the builder track.
We publish our own accuracy and let you sort us against the whole field. That only means something if you can read the numbers — so these 15 lessons teach you the exact mechanism we are scored by.
