Multi-layer weighting
Entry context, primary trend and broader market bias are analyzed independently before aggregation. The primary trend has the largest influence, while entry and context layers confirm timing and directional agreement. Internal precision is retained through qualification; rounding happens only for display.
Technical confluence rather than one trigger
Indicator weights total 100 directional points: EMA alignment 14, MACD 10, RSI 8, ADX and DMI 10, ATR quality 7, Bollinger Bands 8, Supertrend 10, Ichimoku 10, OBV 8, VWAP 7, market structure 5 and raw volume 3. Partial evidence earns partial points, and conflict can support the opposite direction.
Independent bullish and bearish evidence
LONG and SHORT scores are not complements. EMA structure may be mildly bullish while momentum is bearish, allowing both scores to remain elevated. This preserves disagreement and makes the directional-edge rule meaningful.
Setup Score and directional edge
The winning score must reach 78 by default. Directional edge is the winning score minus the opposite score and must reach 15. A score of 81 versus 72 is rejected even though 81 exceeds the threshold, because the technical evidence remains too conflicted.
Broader market conflict penalties
A STRONG_BEARISH market bias applies a larger penalty to a potential LONG than a simple BEARISH bias. A neutral bias applies no directional penalty. Countertrend opportunities are not categorically forbidden, but they must retain enough evidence after the penalty.
Market structure and volume
Confirmed swing pivots identify higher highs, higher lows, lower highs and lower lows. Nearby support and resistance help prevent a LONG directly beneath resistance or a SHORT directly above support. Raw volume is compared with the prior 20-candle average and strengthens a breakout only when the surrounding context agrees.
ATR, extension and entry quality
ATR is normalized by price to classify volatility across assets with very different nominal prices. It shapes entry width and stop distance, and it measures whether price has moved too far beyond a reasonable pullback or retest area.
10× leverage and position-based P&L
The reference entry sits on the safer side of a confirmed higher-timeframe supply or demand zone. The published example uses 100 USDT initial margin at 10× leverage, creating a 1,000 USDT total position. Every displayed profit and loss amount uses that full 1,000 USDT notional—not the 100 USDT margin.
TP1 targets approximately 2% of the total position, TP2 targets 3.5% inside the required 3%–4% range, and TP3 targets 5.5% inside the required 5%–6% range. The structural stop is rejected if it would lose more than 5% of the total leveraged position.
Support and resistance validation
Confirmed support and resistance are an important market-structure layer. For a LONG, support helps anchor the stop and resistance is checked before TP1. For a SHORT, resistance anchors risk and support is checked before TP1. A setup is rejected when nearby opposing structure makes the first target unrealistic.
When methodology returns no signal
No signal can result from insufficient history, a score below threshold, a narrow directional edge, a severe market-bias conflict, invalid market structure, extreme extension, unrealistic risk levels or failed calculations. Historical indicator relationships do not guarantee future outcomes.
