When you `POST /api/indicators?explain=true`, the response carries a `knowledge` block with this indicator's interpretation rubric. **Pass it to your LLM together with the numeric data** — don't make the LLM guess thresholds from memory. Full rubric lives at the [Chinese page](https://docs.mobiusquant.ai/zh/indicators/vwap) (summary_focus / signals / caveats).
