Gravity Engine
What it is: A dedicated gravity chart that turns your gravity theory into a visible structure map. It lays horizontal harmonic ribbons across the active range, then overlays a Vitruvian-stop style trailing structure and breakout rails so you can see where price is being pulled, where it is balanced, and what level would prove escape velocity.
How to read it: The ribbons are attraction zones. When price is riding between ribbons, the market is in free space. When it presses into a ribbon and stalls, gravity is catching. The red stop line shows the active structural leash. The green and red breakout rails show the next levels that would confirm a clean break from the current gravity pocket.
Use: best for judging whether a move is still orbiting a harmonic level or actually breaking free. Pair it with Bias/Force for direction and with the Vitruvian Stop for trade management.

Vitruvian Time & Price
Overlays cycle geometry onto price so you can see repeating time/price structure. Adjust the cycle and where it starts to test different rhythmic partitions of the same data.
Inputs: Cycle = cycle length (bars). Start/Offset = where the cycle anchor begins. Divisions = how many partitions inside each cycle (2–12). Higher divisions = denser geometry.
Time-anchored fans + horizontal levels.

Planetary Confluence
Maps planetary timing into bar-index “event marks” and highlights periods where multiple cycles cluster. Use it to identify time windows of elevated confluence (potential volatility/turn risk), not direction by itself.
Inputs: Planet selections (where shown), TF, and any window controls on the toolbar.
Time-anchored fans repeat by time-cycle.

Planetary Time‑Tier (V2)
Builds horizontal price tiers (bands) derived from time/price harmonics. The tiers are “zones” where price often reacts, not exact single-price lines.
Inputs: Price/° controls tier spacing. Optimize auto-selects a spacing that yields about 3–4 clear tiers in the current view for readability. Bars controls the window.

Vitruvian Star
A geometry-first cyclical view emphasizing symmetry and repeated partitions. Use it as a fast pattern lens when comparing different cycle lengths.
Inputs: Cycle/offset and star-specific controls shown in the toolbar.
Vitruvian Wheel Engine
What it is: A market-structure engine based on Nathaniel Gleason’s original Vitruvian Wheel: a 45×45 Square-of-Nine grid counting to 2025, a Vitruvian overlay, fixed harmonic degree rays, a seven-point weekday star, a 365-day calendar ring, and a Spiral Evolution / Spiral Lock layer that measures whether price is still obeying the theoretical spiral path.
How to read it: Price is normalized into the square grid, converted into a wheel degree, compared with the hand-marked rays, and checked against the current calendar degree. The output tells you whether price is sitting on a memory ray, moving through open degree space, stretching away from center, or aligning with a time/price resonance.
Important scale note: A 365-day circle is about 0.9863° per day. The 98.6 idea is preserved as a resonance/temperature constant, while the actual day ring uses the 360/365 spacing needed to fit the year around the circle.
Use: best as a geometry lens for support/resistance, time-price resonance, acceleration through open space, spiral-node behavior, and article-ready structure language. It is a measurement engine, not a standalone guarantee.
Microstructure Resonance Engine
What it is: A standalone atomic-style market engine. It does not claim atoms cause markets. It uses atomic structure as math language for market microstructure: ticks, one-bar ranges, intrabar rejection, volume bursts, open-interest shifts, compression pulses, repeating bar-count rhythms, and discrete jumps between accepted price zones.
How to read it: Atomic shells / energy levels describe accepted price layers. Quantum jumps describe expansion from compression into a new layer. Spectral lines measure recurring bar-count rhythms in price/range/volume. Spin/polarity describes accumulation, distribution, short covering, long liquidation, compression, or expansion.
Use: best as a micro-cycle and quantized-price-behavior lens. It sits beside the Wheel, not inside it: Planets = macro cycles, Wheel = geometric price/time cycle, Microstructure Resonance = smaller atomic-style market cycles.
Chronological Results
Development, boundary carry, untouched validation, and forward holdout remain separated.
Tomorrow’s Daily Open Recommendations
Latest completed-bar brackets only. Entries occur at the next daily open.
Matched Filled-Ticket Exit Laboratory
Every actually filled bracket ticket is replayed with the same entry, side, structural risk unit, and entry-day OHLC under four exit treatments. This isolates exit behavior without selecting trades after their outcome. Daily bars still cannot identify which level traded first when both were touched.
All-Market and Individual-Market Statistics
The summary cards show combined results for the selected scope. Both-hit count and rate show exactly how often the daily bar touched the stop and target; those trades remain conservatively stop first until intraday order is available. When All Markets is selected, this table preserves every market’s individual results.
Complete Closed-Ticket Ledger
Profit targets, failure stops, time exits, ambiguous stop-first bars, winners, and losers are retained.
Daily Map Audit
Every map shows the exact S1/S2/R1/R2 lattice, selected target, failure point, execution state, and outcome.
Microstructure Daily Target Engine
What it is: A standalone next-open bracket system built directly from the Microstructure Resonance S1/S2/R1/R2 lattice. Every completed daily bar creates the next session’s direction, target, and structural failure point without using future data.
Execution: The next daily open is the tested entry. Upside maps buy toward R1 or R2 and fail at S1; downside maps sell toward S1 or S2 and fail at R1. If neither target nor stop is reached during that session, the trade exits at the same day’s close. If profit and stop both occur inside one daily bar, the stop is counted first.
Research use: Selected Market is the default. All Markets produces both combined portfolio-style statistics and a complete individual-market breakdown. Development, validation, forward-holdout results, next-open recommendations, complete trade ledgers, per-market statistics, and CSV audits are shown separately. Gross results omit normal trading costs.
3D Price Model
A lightweight 3D model of price through time. Drag to rotate and use volume depth to see “thickness” where activity increased. It’s a visual structure tool—pair it with Honeycomb/Stops for decisions.

Candles + OI‑Weighted Moving Averages
A traditional candlestick view with moving averages that can be weighted by Open Interest. Use it to separate “quiet” moves from moves supported by rising participation (OI build) and to see where OI contraction may be deflating trend strength.
Controls: Window navigation (Prev/Next/Jump), MA length/type (SMA/EMA/WMA), and OI weighting modes (none, OI level, ΔOI%, z‑score). Sensitivity sets how strongly OI affects the average; Clamp limits extreme distortion.

Gleason‑Vitruvian Stop
An interactive stop/flip framework based on recent structure. Use it to explore risk placement and structural invalidation levels. Always sanity-check with volatility and your market’s tick value.
Inputs: Long/Short lengths, offsets, and other stop parameters in the panel.
Adaptive Spiral Stop Engine
What it is: An experimental always-in long/short reverse-line engine. It combines average price-percent movement, golden/spiral expansion ratios, confirmed swing structure, GV-style structural seed stops, and Wheel ray pressure.
How to read it: The plotted line is a cross-and-reverse line rather than a promise that a broker stop should always loosen. In strong trend-freedom states the line can intentionally expand to give the move more room; near high-pressure Wheel rays it tightens.
Use: best as a research engine for trend capture, stop expansion, and reversal-system optimization. Keep it separate from production GV Stop until backfill results prove it.

Market Backfill Summary
Spiral Stop Trading System Intel
What it is: A research trading-system layer built on the Adaptive Spiral Stop Engine. It scans all loaded markets from the first 2023 trading window, backfills completed always-in reversal trades, captures the dial readouts at entry, and builds current recommendations from the same filtered trade set.
How to read it: Use the filters to study whether this low-win-rate/high-payoff engine improves when trades are gated by Trend Freedom, Momentum, Wheel Pressure, Compression, Volume/OI, phase, side, and score. The backfill, recommendation list, stop list, and trade list all use one shared pipeline so logic changes stay synchronized.
Use: best as the intelligence lab for deciding which spiral-stop trades deserve to become production candidates.
Production test: the 20-bar Donchian ratchet is frozen from the prior development winner and takes over after the 1.20R handoff. GV 3 remains a reporting reference only. The audit still shows chronological validation honestly, but it does not veto this deliberately armed Donchian test.
Post-observation test: arming freezes these Survival inputs and replays them through the actual production path at the configured account risk. It can reject or delay entries, change capacity and later trades, and change recommendations, open trades, and historical results. Those changed segment numbers are diagnostic—not untouched validation.
Protected class lane: freezes the active forecast, entry, exit, and financial capacity/correlation rules. A fully confirmed class may activate normally. The disclosed Metals near-miss may instead arm a forward-only pilot at 0.25× normal risk, one reserved slot, and no confirmation add; historical shadows remain research.
Preferred path: freezes the active profile, entry gates, exits, adds, capacity, and correlation settings. It tests only wider stop-risk ceilings plus an expected-path ÷ actual-stop coverage requirement for the added lane.
Donchian Production-Test Audit
The fixed 20-bar Donchian ratchet is production after 1.20R. GV 3 remains a comparison reference. Segment evidence is shown without pretending that this user-authorized production test was selected by untouched validation.
Survival Production Test
When armed, these post-observation rules alter the actual replayed production ledger, recommendations, and open trades. Turn the test off to return to Donchian-only production.
Contract-Dollar Results / Tick-Value Audit
Gross standard-contract translation for every mapped fill. Minimum exchange increments and familiar conventional increments are shown separately; no micro-currency sizing is used.
Physical Class Frontier & Metals Forward Pilot
Five tangible classes receive independent ATR-normalized research. Fully confirmed rules may activate normally; the disclosed Metals exception can only begin forward at reduced risk.
Anchored Top-Settings Expansion Frontier
Development nominates one candidate; chronological validation must confirm it before activation. The current-year holdout remains reporting-only.
Research: Anchored All-Input Optimizer
Broader experimental search across trade-producing decision and management inputs. Use the top-settings expansion frontier first when the active profile already has an edge.
Current Causal Decisions / Next-Open Entries
Each authorized card states ENTER NEXT OPEN and shows the estimated protective stop; the final stop is recalculated from the actual opening fill.
Shadow Decisions / Wait-to-Fit
Qualified directions that are not authorized trades remain visible here, with the exact failing gate and any time-limited wait status.
Current Trades / Required Action / Active Stops
Every row explicitly says EXIT NEXT OPEN or HOLD WITH PROTECTIVE STOP. A next-open exit keeps its stop active until the opening fill; otherwise the displayed grid-rounded stop is active throughout the next session.
Permanent Filled-Trade Ledger
Next-open fills, executable tick-grid stops, protected confirmation adds, gap handling, confirmed-decay exits, and trend-retention history.
All-Market Decision Funnel / Concentration Audit
Every loaded market remains visible through edge, stop, coverage, early survival, dollar fit, wait-to-fit, portfolio gates, fill, and close.
Forward Proof Ledger
First-seen browser timestamps only; historical decisions are never inserted retroactively.
Market Contribution Summary
Contribution is reported, never used to erase or retroactively exclude weak markets.
Causal Path Engine
What it is: A new, independent decision system that does not consume signals, scores, phases, stops, or rankings from any legacy chart engine. Each completed bar becomes a normalized market-state vector describing return shape, serial dependence, volatility change, range change, location, skew, gap behavior, volume surprise, and open-interest change. The engine locates the nearest earlier states whose full future outcomes were already knowable at that historical moment.
Selection: The entire next 10-, 15-, 20-, or 30-session path of each causal analog is measured from its next open. A trade must clear conservative hit-probability, expected-return, adverse-excursion, payoff, sample-stability, stop-risk, capacity, and learned return-correlation gates. No legacy trend, spiral, Wheel, correlation-chart, phase, or confluence rule participates.
Default: Profitability First uses the confirmed Robust top-settings expansion: a 2.00% baseline stop anchor, a 2.40% maximum stop, and minimum 0.50 expected-path/stop coverage in the added band. Portfolio defaults are 2.00% account risk ($2,000 at the default $100,000 equity), 10 positions, 4 new entries per day, a 0.68 P/L-correlation gate, and one correlated position. Wide Opportunity Research remains selectable at a lower 0.50% risk default because its wide-open replay carried materially greater drawdown.
Survival Production Test: This optional path was designed after the prior holdout was inspected. When armed, its frozen coverage, stop, early-survival, contract-grid, dollar-fit, and wait rules alter the actual replayed selection, fills, capacity, recommendations, open trades, and results. Historical segment numbers are therefore post-observation diagnostics, not fresh validation. Turning it off returns the next replay to Donchian-only production.
Other research and proof: The Physical Class Shadow Frontier keeps FX, rates, indexes, signals, management, and financial capacity frozen while development tests energy, metals, grains, softs, and livestock independently. The separately labeled Metals Forward Pilot remains at 0.25× normal risk with no add. Current-year holdout remains reporting-only for every search. Protective stops are derived from the analog adverse-path distribution and actual fill. Seasonal history is information only.

Current Open Trades / Active Stops and Targets
Fixed-route stops and targets are calculated from the actual next-open fill. Donchian stops ratchet without a fixed target.
Per-Market Selected Routes and Out-of-Sample Results

Complete Selected-Route Closed-Trade Ledger
Development, validation, validation-carry, and forward-holdout trades retain every filled winner and loser.
Development Route Audit
All sixteen candidates remain visible so the chosen route and every failed gate can be checked.
Vitruvian Best Route Engine
What it is: A market-tailored HIGH/LOW Wheel trade engine. Use Selected Market to concentrate on the chart currently open, or All Markets to scan the full dataset universe. In All Markets mode, every market independently chooses among Original Reversal and Reversed Continuation with Donchian or fixed 1R, 1.5R, 2R, 2.5R, 3R, 4R, and 5R management. One market’s route is never imposed on another.
Selection: Only completed development-period trades can choose a route. Minimum trade count, profit factor, positive expectancy, positive total R, and maximum drawdown gates must pass; otherwise that market reports No Qualified Route. Validation, boundary-carry, and forward-holdout results are visible but cannot alter the development choice.
Visible route laboratory: The market currently open on the chart receives a full side-by-side replay of all sixteen paths. It shows Original Reversal and Reversed Continuation under Donchian and fixed 1R, 1.5R, 2R, 2.5R, 3R, 4R, and 5R exits, including development, validation, holdout, and current RECOMMENDATION / OPEN / FLAT status. Unselected route states are comparison evidence only and do not override the frozen development-selected route.
Forward shadows: Beginning July 31, 2026, four independent ledgers track the unchanged Best Route selector, a fixed-only selector, universal 1R management, and universal 5R management. Their direction choices remain development-only, and no validation or holdout result is inserted into the forward proof.
Current use: Qualified selected routes produce exact next-bar-open recommendations, open-position stops and targets, complete trade ledgers, per-market statistics, and a full sixteen-route audit. Fixed-dollar results require verified contract mapping. Results are gross and markets are replayed independently without portfolio capacity or correlation constraints.
Bounded Development-Only Settings Optimizer
Optimizes each market independently, retains one frozen route per qualified market, then replays validation, holdout, open trades, and recommendations without allowing them to change the settings.
Frozen Per-Market Optimized Settings and Out-of-Sample Evidence
Validation and Forward Holdout appear only after the Development decision is frozen. No Qualified Settings means the market contributes no trade or recommendation to the optimized route.
Chronological Evidence
Development, validation, and forward holdout are reported separately. No segment selects or deletes a ray in this first test.
Parent-Ray and Child-Stage Comparison
0.96%, 1.44%, and 1.80% remain separate paths; Add-On 1 and Add-On 2 remain separate slots.

Child Recommendation → Fill → Stop Order Ledger
Recommendations cannot disappear: filled, open, closed, and gap/no-stop cancellations retain their original record.
Complete Nontraded Parent Campaign Audit
Includes failed parents, causal swing confirmation, virtual fill, stop path, both child triggers, entries, and final status.
Virtual Parent Continuation Engine
What it is: A standalone price-percent continuation laboratory inspired by the strongest VWTS add-on behavior without consuming or changing any VWTS trade. Causally confirmed swing lows anchor long parent paths and swing highs anchor short paths. The 0.96%, 1.44%, and 1.80% rays run separately and require a completed close another 0.06 percentage point through the parent ray.
Virtual parent: The parent fills hypothetically at the next open and receives a protective stop, but it is never traded. It must survive and move 1.44% favorably before Add-On 1 becomes a real next-open recommendation. Add-On 2 requires Add-On 1 to remain open and then move another 0.96% favorably from its actual fill.
Stops: A protective GV stop is used when its completed-bar direction agrees with the child. Otherwise the stop begins at a causally confirmed recent swing low/high, then only ratchets favorably when GV becomes protective. Every parent, recommendation, fill, cancellation, stop change, winner, and loser remains in its audit ledger.
Development-only optimizer: A bounded, memory-safe coordinate search can optimize one frozen route per market: parent ray, close-through clearance, both add-on distances, direction, Add-On 1-only versus both stages, confirmed-swing bars, and GV bars. Only trades fully closed by the Development end date may score or qualify a setting. Development boundary-carry, Validation, Forward Holdout, open trades, and current recommendations are reporting only and can never select a setting.
Research warning: The three parent rays are independent comparison paths. Their combined trade count, R, and dollars are not one deployable portfolio and repeated market moves may appear in more than one ray path.

Vitruvian Correlation / Backtest
This tool searches for the closest historical analog window by correlation on Close price, then projects what happened next. Use it to explore “if this looks like that, what followed?” scenarios. It is a pattern lens, not a guaranteed forecast.
Inputs: Bars = size of the window being matched. Future = forecast length. TF = timeframe. Prev/Next steps through ranked analogs.
Build: 1.0.39-echo-spacing-ratio • Click once for center, click again for base radius.
Echo Chart
Repeats (“echoes”) prior swing rhythm forward in time to visualize potential continuation of cadence. Use it to generate timing hypotheses, not certainty.
Inputs: Echoes = number of repeats. Mode chooses spacing behavior (Uniform vs Expanding). Gap %/Ratio control how spacing grows.

Honeycomb Grid
Plots a repeating lattice in price space from an anchor. It can reveal recurring reaction points, consolidation structure, and geometric symmetry. Best paired with trend/context from other modules.
Inputs: Grid spacing/scale, anchor controls, and window length as shown.
Ghost levels from absorption + rejection. Nodes fade unless re‑touched.
Cursor: —
Order Flow Memory Field
Builds persistent “ghost levels” from absorption and rejection events. Nodes fade over time unless price revisits them (reactivation), creating a living map of where the market has unfinished business.
Controls: Detection thresholds (volume + body/wick structure), Half‑life decay, Tolerance (ATR/%), Touch boost, max nodes, and rendering options (band thickness, opacity, labels).
Fractal Compression Scanner
Measures multi‑scale range compression and volatility contraction. When compression aligns across scales, Pressure rises — stored energy that often precedes expansion.
Outputs: a Pressure score (0–100), multi‑scale compression lanes, and a Bull/Bear bias meter based on structure context (slope + VWAP position + micro‑structure).
Optimize: tunes scale set + compression mapping so the scanner best fits the current market window without curve‑fit “signals”.
Entropy Gradient Ribbon
Measures information entropy in recent returns to estimate order vs randomness. Low entropy tends to coincide with structured trend; high entropy tends to coincide with chaotic churn.
Visual: a flowing ribbon behind price whose thickness and intensity respond to entropy level and entropy slope.
Bull/Bear bias: combines trend slope with (1−entropy) so the meter reflects structure, not prediction.
Optimize: tunes entropy window + flat threshold + smoothing to best fit the current market window.
Behavioral Exhaustion Meter
Pairs with compression by estimating structural fatigue (topping/rolling risk) from multiple components: time spent outside VWAP bands, volume‑delta divergence, participation/OI stretch, and acceleration drop‑off.
- VWAP Win / Band×ATR: defines the mean and extension bands.
- Div Win: divergence window (returns vs volume‑delta proxy).
- Accel Win: acceleration fade window.
- Optimize: tunes windows/thresholds to maximize useful dynamic range.
Bull 50% • Bear 50%
Regime Signature Identifier
What it is: A self‑contained classifier that labels the current market environment (“regime”) using structural features — not indicators. Think of it as the weather report for price action.
How to use: Use the regime label to decide which tools to trust. In a Structured Trend regime, bias + breakouts tend to follow through. In Entropic Turbulence, bias should be dampened and you should expect whipsaw. In Compression Coil, focus on pressure/force tools and wait for release.
- Regime: the current label + glyph (brandable “sigil”).
- Stability %: how locked‑in the current regime is (higher = less likely to flip).
- Transition %: near‑term flip pressure (higher = likely to change soon).
- Bull/Bear %: directional tilt tempered by regime (chaos regimes dampen).
Key inputs:
- Window: how many bars define the regime snapshot (bigger = smoother, smaller = faster).
- Segments: splits the window into chunks to measure structural change.
- K (Clusters): number of regime “buckets”. 5–7 is a good range.
- Weights: how much to emphasize Volatility vs Entropy vs Compression vs Force.
Optimize: tunes K, segmentation, smoothing, and weights so regimes are stable (no flicker) but still respond to meaningful shifts.
Probability Cone Projection Engine
What it is: A forward structural projection that draws inner/outer cones (≈68% / ≈95%) using volatility memory and regime context. This is not a trade signal; it’s a “most likely space” map for future price.
How to read: The cone widens in chaotic/high‑entropy conditions and tightens in structured/low‑entropy conditions. The cone can also tilt (skew) if force (acceleration) is persistent. When price rides the cone edge, you’re in expansion; when it mean‑reverts back toward the center line, you’re in digestion.
- Center line: expected drift (structure‑weighted), not certainty.
- Inner cone: tighter probability band (≈68%).
- Outer cone: wider band (≈95%).
- Bull/Bear %: projected skew (tilt) tempered by entropy (chaos dampens).
Key inputs:
- Horizon: how far forward the cone projects.
- Vol Memory: how many bars define current volatility (higher = slower, lower = reactive).
- Entropy Weight: how strongly disorder expands/shrinks cone width.
- Force Weight: how much acceleration tilts the cone.
- Gravity (VWAP): how strongly the cone’s drift pulls back toward mean.
Optimize: searches a small grid of horizon/memory/weights to produce a stable, readable cone for the current market window.
Development-Only Pattern Signal Optimizer
Optimizes the four Pattern Correlation signal inputs—not trade direction, signal side, or confidence gates—then freezes them for out-of-sample reporting.
Chronological Results
Development, boundary carry, untouched validation, and forward holdout remain separated.
Next Daily Open Recommendations
The latest completed dial signal is frozen for the next open and automatically exits at that session’s close.

All-Market and Individual-Market Statistics
Combined results use the selected scope; All Markets preserves every market’s individual outcome.
Complete Open-to-Close Trade Ledger
Every included signal shows its next-day open, same-day close, native forecast result, and trade result.
Causal Signal Audit
Forecasts, filtered signals, missing-match days, filled trades, and current instructions are retained.
Next Bar Direction Open→Close Engine
What it is: A causal trade study driven by the same Pattern Correlation signal shown in the right-side NEXT BAR (DAILY) dial. After a daily bar closes, the engine freezes the dial direction and confidence, enters in that direction at the following daily open, and exits at that same session’s close.
Important distinction: The dial forecasts whether the next close will be above or below the completed bar’s close. The trade earns the move from the next open to that next close. The engine reports native dial accuracy and open-to-close trade results separately so a high forecast hit rate cannot be mistaken for a tradable opening-session edge.
Research use: The exact visible-dial defaults are used unless changed or synchronized from the dial. Confidence gates can be compared without future-data leakage. Selected Market is the default; All Markets shows combined and individual-market results. Trades never carry overnight. Results are gross unless round-trip costs are entered.
Suite Evidence & Attribution Engine
Measures whether the eleven Composite Intelligence engines contain causal forward information and tests direction-preserved next-open-to-third-close research models against market-direction baselines. It creates no recommendation or automatic order.
Evidence Summary
Current settings, observation counts, data partitions and strongest out-of-sample findings.
Cockpit Composite vs Development-Weighted Composite
The optimizer changes signal weights, not trade eligibility. Every audited bar remains in the comparison.
Per-Engine Forward Evidence
Directional accuracy, signed forward return, information coefficient and Brier calibration score at the selected horizon.
Attribution and Redundancy
Shows frozen optimized influence, out-of-sample ablation lift and pairs of engines that may be measuring the same underlying movement.
Development-Frozen Right-Confidence Audit
The raw dial keeps its original direction. Development estimates whether stronger readings were historically more or less reliable; the estimate is frozen for Validation and Forward Holdout and never changes a trade side.
Direction-Preserved Three-Bar Executable Results
Raw signal after the completed close; entry at the next daily open; exit at the third daily close. Always-long and always-short baselines show how much performance comes from market drift.
Individual-Market Three-Bar Results
Selected Market shows one market. All Markets shows the same three frozen models separately for every successfully loaded market.
Complete Three-Bar Model Ledger
Every available reconstructed signal is retained. No confidence or regime gate removes a model-trade.
Current Engine Readings
The latest available engine state beside its historical evidence. A previously run live Diagnostics snapshot is preferred; otherwise the engine uses a fresh causal reconstruction. Current readings have no future outcome yet.
Suite Evidence & Attribution Engine
What it is: A causal research layer for the eleven Composite Intelligence engines. It reconstructs each engine at completed historical bars, measures several forward horizons, tests redundancy, and shows whether an engine adds information beyond the rest of the suite.
Direction and confidence: The raw 0–100 dial always determines BUY or SELL. Development may estimate how often signals of similar strength were right, but that confidence estimate cannot reverse a signal or remove an observation. Everything is frozen before Validation and Forward Holdout.
Execution study: Every raw Liquidity Void Topology, raw 2D Hybrid, and equal-weight raw combination signal enters at the next daily open and exits at the third daily close. Always-long and always-short baselines expose market drift. Native direction accuracy, executable return, configured costs, and selected-market or all-market statistics remain separate. This is historical research evidence, not an order or recommendation.
Suite Weighted GV Stop Trade Engine
Combines all eleven causal Composite Intelligence readings with Development-only frozen weights, enters the next daily open only when the signal is with a protective GV Stop, and stays open until that GV Stop exits. No three-day or other time exit remains.
Shadow Engine Summary
Clean out-of-sample performance, matched market drift, configured costs, and overlapping exposure.
Decision Coverage Audit
Shows exactly how many eligible daily decision bars existed and how many were reconstructed in each chronological partition.
Next Daily Open Shadow Instructions
The latest completed-bar signal and GV Stop determine whether the next opening is an initial entry, an available add-on, a hold, or an audited exclusion. Every accepted entry remains open until GV exits it.
Chronological Route and Baseline Results
Development, boundary carry, Validation, Forward Holdout, and combined clean OOS remain separate.
All-GV Entry Baseline Comparison
Compares the weighted-signal timing against entering every available GV-aligned campaign with the same GV parameters, add-on limit, slippage, and costs. Counts can differ, so this is a model comparison rather than a forced date pair.
GV Stop and Risk Audit
Shows accepted entries, open positions, GV exits, overnight gap-through fills, actual initial GV risk, overruns caused by gaps and costs, and the worst realized trade.
LONG / SHORT Evidence
Shows whether profitability depends on one side or one chronological partition.
All-Market and Individual-Market Results
Selected Market shows one route. All Markets gives every market its own Development-only frozen weights before aggregation.
Frozen Development Weights
Exact non-negative multipliers used for each market. Validation and Holdout never alter these values.
Excluded Signal Audit
Every reconstructed signal that could not enter remains visible: signal/GV disagreement, missing or non-protective stop, maximum-risk rejection, direction conflict, or the adjustable add-on limit.
Complete GV-Managed Entry Ledger
Every accepted initial entry and add-on remains visible until its GV exit, including still-open entries marked to the latest loaded close. There is no time exit.
Suite Weighted GV Stop Trade Engine
What it is: A separate research/shadow trade engine created from the Development-weighted Composite Intelligence signal. After each reconstructed daily close, all eleven raw suite readings are combined with non-negative multipliers selected only from that market’s Development period.
Execution: The three-bar horizon trains the frozen signal only; it is never an exit. A weighted signal may enter the next daily open only when its direction agrees with the completed-bar daily GV Stop and that stop remains protective at the opening fill. The position then remains open until the favorable-only ratcheting GV Stop is touched or gapped through. One initial entry may receive an adjustable number of same-direction additions, default three. No confidence threshold or result filter is used.
Evidence: Full Daily is the default and reconstructs every eligible decision bar after the required warm-up. Every rejected signal is preserved with its exact GV or campaign exclusion reason. Development, boundary carry, untouched Validation, Forward Holdout, open positions, gap exits, add-on roles, individual markets, the all-GV-entry baseline, frozen weights, costs, complete ledgers, and coverage remain visible. It does not place orders or write into production lists.
GV Corrected-Contract Buffered Stop Optimizer
Reproduces the chart’s prior-posted-stop crossing rule, then optimizes GV long/short lengths and a small signed price-percentage adjustment. It keeps chart same-close results separate from executable following-open results.
Actual-Return Shadow Summary
Leads with net return, return drawdown, fixed-GV comparison, costs, boundary risk, and winner concentration. R is diagnostic only.
Current Adjusted Stop State
Shows the raw candidate, signed adjustment, actual posted stop, and whether the latest completed close created a following-open shadow instruction.
Chronological Actual-Return Results
Keeps Development, carry trades, untouched Validation, Forward Holdout, and combined clean OOS separate for four comparison models. The selected-settings chart same-close audit and executable following-open route are never blended.
Buffer Attribution Versus Matched 0%
Uses the same selected long and short lengths on both sides of the comparison. The only difference is the signed price-percentage adjustment.
Selected Routes and Market Results
Every market receives its own Development-selected lengths and buffer. Validation and Holdout never change them.
Development Actual-Return Candidate Surface
Labels the 0%-buffer length-search stage separately from the buffer-on-frozen-lengths stage. Boundary selections are flagged because an edge-of-grid winner may be asking for an untested value.
Long / Short Evidence
Separates clean out-of-sample performance by direction for executable optimized, selected-settings chart same-close, matched zero-buffer, and fixed GV 4/5 models.
Calendar-Year Evidence
Displays each exit year separately so one favorable regime cannot disappear inside a full-period total.
Outlier Dependence
Measures how much gross profit came from the largest one and two winners and recalculates net results without them. Contract-mapped studies use dollars; unmapped studies use net price return.
Complete Four-Model Trade Ledger
Includes every executable optimized, selected-settings chart same-close, matched zero-buffer, and fixed GV 4/5 trade. The execution column prevents chart and tradable returns from being confused.
Market Error Audit
Markets that cannot load, map, or produce enough valid history remain visible rather than disappearing from an all-market run.
GV Buffered Stop Optimizer
What it is: A separate close-confirmed stop-and-reversal research engine. It optimizes the GV long length, GV short length, and a signed price-percent adjustment applied to the raw stop before that stop is ratcheted and posted.
Buffer meaning: A positive value widens the stop away from price: it is subtracted from a LONG stop and added to a SHORT stop. A negative value tightens the stop. The adjusted value is rounded outward to the verified contract tick before posting. The adjusted posted stop controls the actual direction flip; the hidden raw stop cannot flip the engine by itself.
Evidence: The visible default optimizes eight years of Development history (2015–2022), validates on 2023–2024, and leaves 2025 onward as Forward Holdout. Dates remain adjustable. The route now ranks settings by actual net price return after configured costs, with return drawdown and four chronological Development folds controlling fragility. Candidate-dependent R no longer selects anything and remains diagnostic only. The optimized route is compared with the same selected stop lengths at 0% buffer and with fixed GV 4/5 at 0%. Long/short, yearly, outlier, cost, boundary, and every comparison-model trade ledger are reported. Results remain research/shadow only and never write to production lists.
GV Qualified Strict-Long + Dual Add-On Engine
The qualified long-only parent and existing earned add-on remain intact. A separate fixed-profit continuation leg may add one more contract at the next open after the parent closes at least 1.44% above its original fill.
Classic Parent and Dual Add-On Forward Statistics
Parent, earned add-on, fixed-profit add-on, and all-entry-leg results are labeled separately. Only qualified parent markets contribute trades, and open marked P/L remains separate.
Why a Low Win Rate Can Still Be Profitable
Win rate counts every closed trade. Average winner, average loser, profit factor, and net profit use contract-mapped closed trades. A winner/loss size above 1.00× means the average winner is larger than the average loser; the break-even win rate shows the approximate hit rate those average sizes require.
Current Frozen Long-Only State and Advance Trade Notice
After a completed close confirms either add-on, this panel signals the trade before entry and identifies it as a conditional next-daily-open action. No add-on is counted at the signal close.
Individual-Market Qualified Long Routes
CORE 9/9 and RECOVERED routes are labeled separately with their actual positive-neighbor count. The route export also records every NO QUALIFIED ROUTE market.
Optimization Versus Forward Results
Optimization statistics are labeled in-sample. Only trades signaled after the optimization end date appear in Forward Results.
Earned Add-On Optimization and Results
One shared entry-bar, parent-profit-R, and campaign-risk-R plan is selected from Development add-on legs, then frozen for forward replay. Baseline, incremental add-on, and combined entry-leg results remain separate.
Add-On Development Candidates
Additional Fixed-Profit Add-On Results
This independent leg enters at the next open after the parent first closes at least the configured percentage above its original fill. It does not replace or re-optimize the earned add-on.
Forward Results by Entry Weekday
Monday through Friday are all traded. This table audits whether the forward long entries transfer consistently by weekday; it does not select or exclude a day.
Forward Results by Exit Year
Only the selected strict-long route and post-optimization trades are shown.
Forward Outlier Audit by Market
Outliers are calculated separately for each market so unrelated prices and contract values are never blended into one percentage statistic.
Complete Qualified Strict-Long Parent Ledger
Contains the unchanged parent trades from qualified markets. Earned and fixed-profit add-on legs are displayed and exported separately above.
Qualification and Market Error Audit
NO QUALIFIED ROUTE is an honest Development result, not a load failure. True dataset or execution errors remain labeled separately.
GV Qualified Strict-Long + Dual Add-On Engine
What it is: A causal, strictly long shadow engine. Every market independently tests corrected-GV long and short lengths from 2 through 30, but it never evaluates, selects, enters, or reports a short or two-sided trading route.
Execution: A completed close crossing into the GV long state enters at the following daily open. A completed close crossing into the GV short state exits the long at the following open and leaves the engine flat until the next long signal. One earned add-on may enter a later following open only after the parent reaches the frozen bar and profit-R requirements, the GV stop ratchets, and combined posted-stop campaign risk remains within its frozen limit. Parent and add-on share the same GV exit. Every weekday remains eligible.
Selection and evidence: The engine rejects isolated best parent cells, boundary settings, non-profitable neighborhoods, and centers where the long length is not greater than the short length. Every one of the nine cells in the complete 3×3 Development neighborhood must be qualified and positively scored; otherwise the market receives NO QUALIFIED ROUTE. After parent routes freeze, one shared add-on parameter plateau is selected from Development data across the qualified market scope; otherwise the baseline runs without add-ons. The visible default optimizes on 2015–2024 and freezes before forward results from 2025 onward. Default costs are one tick of slippage per side plus $10 round trip. Continuous-contract roll exposure remains explicitly flagged. It never places an order or writes to a production recommendation list.
GV Qualified Strict-Short Parent Engine
A separate short-side study built from the stable Market Recovery plugin. The strict-long engine and both of its add-ons remain unchanged.
Strict-Short Frozen Audit Summary
Each result window uses a route selected only from the earlier training period.
2023, 2024, and 2025–Current Walk-Forward Evidence
These are separate frozen tests, not one hindsight route reused across every year.
Current Frozen Short State
Advance notice is based on the route trained only through 2024.
Individual-Market Frozen Short Routes
Long length, short length, their relationship, training evidence, and honest NO ROUTE results are shown for every audit.
Complete Frozen Strict-Short Parent Ledger
Side is labeled SHORT directly. There are no parent keys or add-on legs in this engine.
Market Error Audit
Load and execution errors remain separate from valid NO QUALIFIED ROUTE outcomes.
GV Qualified Strict-Short Parent Engine
What it is: A separate causal, strictly short shadow engine. It does not change the established strict-long engine and it contains no add-ons. A completed close crossing into the corrected-GV short state enters at the following daily open; a crossing back into the long state exits the short at the following open and leaves this engine flat.
Independent selection: Each market optimizes short-parent results directly. The default search tests both LONG>SHORT and SHORT>LONG GV length relationships rather than assuming the long engine’s relationship must reverse. Stable 3×3 neighborhoods, adjustable 7/9 through 9/9 recovery, and the 70% profit / 30% win-rate focus remain visible.
Frozen evidence: Three audits prevent a favorable recent year from hiding weak transfer. The 2023 audit trains only through 2022, the 2024 audit trains only through 2023, and the 2025–current audit trains only through 2024. Each audit counts new short entries signaled inside its own untouched window. Results remain research/shadow only and never place orders or write production lists.
Daily Gleason SAR + Index All-Market Engine
The SAR chooses each reversal candidate, while the completed daily Gleason Index must confirm its direction before a following-open trade can occur.
Daily SAR + Gleason Index Summary
SAR candidates, Index confirmations, Index rejections, and actual trades are counted separately.
Period and Side Evidence
The same fixed parameters are used on both sides and in both periods.
Year-by-Year Results
This makes weak years such as 2023 visible instead of allowing a strong 2026 to hide them.
Individual Markets
No market is removed for a low win rate or loss.
Current State and Next-Open Notice
Shows the SAR side, current Gleason Index, required threshold, stop, and whether the newest reversal qualified.
Complete Index-Confirmed Trade Ledger
Every entry shows its completed-bar Gleason Index and required threshold. Open marked P/L is not mixed into realized profit.
Gleason Index Rejected SAR Candidates
These SAR reversals did not have same-close Index confirmation and never became entries.
Canceled Next-Open Entries
A signal is retained here when its SAR was no longer protective at the following open.
Market Error Audit
Dataset failures remain separate from valid losing results.
Daily Gleason SAR + Index All-Market Engine
What it is: A daily-bar implementation of Nathaniel Gleason’s SAR and Gleason Index concepts. Every completed SAR reversal is a candidate, but LONG requires the signed, EMA-smoothed ADX-based Gleason Index above its positive threshold and SHORT requires it below its negative threshold on that same completed bar.
Execution: An Index-confirmed reversal is scheduled for the following daily open. The completed signal bar’s SAR must still be protective at that fill; otherwise the attempted trade is canceled and disclosed. A rejected reversal may exit an opposite position but cannot open a new one. The engine waits for the next SAR reversal rather than entering late inside the same SAR regime.
Evidence: SAR candidates, Index-confirmed candidates, Index rejections, next-open cancellations, Development, Forward Holdout, years, markets, sides, current state, and the complete ledger remain separate. No market is removed because its result is weak. This is research/shadow output and does not place orders or write production recommendations.
Daily Gold7 Gleason Index Cross Strategy
All markets use fixed displayed settings. A selected market starts from its latest qualified route and searches approximately 110,000 combinations with actual Development net dollars as the leading profit measure.
Gold7 Summary
Index-cross candidates, fully qualified signals, rejected gates, trades, and open marked P/L remain separate.
Selected-Market Saved-Seed Four-Group Selection
Shows the starting route, centered Gleason search, separate trend and confirmation profiles, fixed risk maximum, safeguards, and strongest Development candidates. Forward results cannot affect this table.
Development, Forward, and Side Evidence
Frozen Settings and Market Evidence
All-markets scope reports the displayed fixed settings. Selected-market scope reports that market’s Development-selected Index, only-if profile, and fixed risk maximum.

Market Error Audit
Daily Gold7 Gleason Index Cross Strategy
What it is: A daily-bar recreation of the supplied Gold7MinGleasonIndex NinjaTrader strategy. LONG begins with the Gleason Index crossing above −5.4; SHORT begins with it crossing below +5.4. The original Stochastics, ADX, CCI, exact normalized DMI, Bollinger, and ATR gates must then pass on that same completed bar.
Daily adaptation: The original 04:00–15:45 seven-minute session gate is removed. Qualified completed-daily-bar signals execute at the following daily open. The baseline uses two contracts and an adjustable $1,000 total currency stop. A cross alone does not exit: the opposite LONG or SHORT candidate must also pass its corresponding indicator gates before the engine exits and reverses at the next open.
Selected-market actual-profit optimization: All-markets scope is a fixed-settings audit and performs no optimization. A selected market starts from its latest safeguards-passed route when one has been saved in that browser. The Index screen is centered around that route, and the only-if logic is split into signal/trend and confirmation/volatility groups for both LONG and SHORT. Twenty-one quarter-step levels per group produce 110,281 staged default evaluations, with 105,840 devoted to only-if testing. The default selector remains 70% profit and 30% win/stop control, but profit now means actual Development net dollars first, supported by PF, profit-to-drawdown, and fold-dollar stability. It no longer treats net R as the leading profit measure. A failed best-available result never overwrites the last qualified starting route.
Comparable volatility gate: The original raw Gold ATR numbers are converted to ATR as a percentage of price. A raw ATR threshold cannot mean the same thing for Euro FX, corn, crude oil, gold, and stock indexes; ATR percent preserves the intended volatility test on a comparable all-market scale.
Important source audit: GleasonSAR was instantiated by the NinjaTrader strategy but never referenced in either entry condition, so this recreation does not invent a SAR gate. Every Index-cross candidate, failed indicator gate, trade, weak year, losing market, current state, and error remains visible. This remains research/shadow output and never places orders.
GV Transfer Audit
Separates hindsight fitting, execution timing, frozen GV-length transfer, and the signed percentage buffer so the exact source of the individual-study profit can be measured.
Transfer Audit Summary
Headline execution loss, clean OOS transfer, exact buffer attribution, verified-tick exclusions, and configured costs.
Four-Lane Measurement Contract
The lane definitions stay visible so hindsight profit cannot be mistaken for frozen out-of-sample evidence.
Direct Attribution
Lane B minus A isolates following-open execution. Lane D minus C isolates the signed buffer while holding causal GV lengths fixed.
Chronological Lane Results
Lane A/B remain full-study diagnostics. Lane C/D preserve Development, boundary carries, Validation, Forward Holdout, and clean OOS separately.
Per-Market Transfer Routes
Includes every market’s hindsight lengths, execution gap, causal lengths, buffer, OOS results, exact D-minus-C attribution, and contract grid.
Optimizer Surfaces
Shows the strongest full-history length fits, causal Development length routes, and the complete fixed-length buffer sweep.
Complete Lane-Tagged Trade Ledger
Every trade identifies its lane, execution timing, period, valid posted stop, entry ATR, return, valid-tick R, and dollar result.
Verified-Tick and Load Audit
Preserves non-protective gaps, sub-tick entry-risk rejections, invalid prices, and market load failures rather than dropping them silently.
GV Transfer Audit
What it is: A four-lane attribution study that explains why an individually optimized GV Stop can look highly profitable on its own chart yet fail to transfer into a causal trade engine.
The four lanes: Lane A reproduces full-history hindsight length fitting with same-close reversals. Lane B holds those lengths fixed and changes only execution to the following open. Lane C selects GV lengths from Development only, executes next-open, and freezes before Validation and Forward Holdout. Lane D holds Lane C lengths fixed and optimizes only the signed pre-posting percentage buffer.
Execution integrity: Adjusted stops are rounded outward to the verified contract tick before posting. Following-open entries require a protective stop at least one valid tick away. The causal selector uses ATR-normalized outcomes rather than candidate-dependent initial-stop R. Lane A and B remain labeled hindsight diagnostics; only Lane C and D OOS results are evidence about transfer.

Vitruvian Cockpit Guide
This guide is meant to be read like a trading manual, not a tooltip. The cockpit is designed to show the energy state of the market so you can quickly judge whether conditions favor expansion, breakout, pullback, stall, or reversal. Read clusters of dials together. One dial alone can alert you. Several aligned dials can create a usable setup.
How to Read the Cockpit in 10 Seconds
When you first open a market, do not try to read everything at once. Use this order:
- Momentum – Is price actually moving with intent?
- Compression – Is energy being stored for a move?
- Force – Is there real strength behind that move?
- Gravity – Is price stretched and likely to pull back?
- Exhaustion – Is the current move running out of energy?
- Memory / Equilibrium – Is price reacting to a known area or sitting in balance before the next release?
Fast-read rule: high Momentum + high Force usually means expansion. High Compression before that often means a breakout is loading. High Gravity or high Exhaustion means do not chase blindly.
Core Rule Before the Setups
Bias is context only. It is not used here as a trigger dial. Bias tends to stay relatively low because it measures background directional pressure rather than timing. Use it as supporting context only, not as a primary setup trigger.
Dial Meanings and How to Use Them
Momentum
What it measures: the speed of price movement.
How to think about it: Momentum is the engine speed of the market. It tells you whether price is expanding, drifting, or losing pace.
- 70+: strong movement; market is expanding with intent.
- 50–70: usable movement; not dead, but not fully explosive.
- Below 40: slow market, chop risk, or pre-breakout waiting state.
How to use it: high Momentum is strongest when Force confirms it. Rising Momentum after high Compression is one of the cleanest signs that stored energy is being released.
Force
What it measures: the strength behind the move.
How to think about it: Force is the push behind price. It tells you whether buyers or sellers are actually driving the move or whether the market is drifting without commitment.
- 65+: meaningful participation; move has real power.
- 50–65: moderate conviction.
- Below 45: weak move; vulnerable to stall, fakeout, or reversal.
How to use it: high Force with high Momentum is a continuation condition. High Momentum with weak Force often means the move is flashy but fragile.
Compression
What it measures: stored market energy.
How to think about it: Compression is the spring loading before movement. The market coils, stores pressure, and then releases it.
- 80+: heavy pressure building; breakout conditions often nearby.
- 60–80: moderate stored energy.
- Below 50: energy likely already released or market not building much pressure.
How to use it: Compression means little by itself unless you watch what happens next. The cleaner read is high Compression followed by rising Momentum and rising Force.
Gravity
What it measures: how far price is stretched from equilibrium.
How to think about it: Gravity is the market’s pull back toward balance. The higher it gets, the more carefully you should think about chasing trend continuation.
- 75+: price is stretched; pullback or mean reversion risk increases.
- 55–75: extension present, but not extreme.
- Below 50: less stretch pressure.
How to use it: high Gravity with weak Momentum often favors retracement. High Gravity with strong Momentum can still trend, but the move is more mature and requires caution.
Exhaustion
What it measures: trend fatigue.
How to think about it: Exhaustion tells you when a move is getting tired. It does not guarantee reversal by itself, but it warns that the current push may be near its limit.
- 85+: serious fatigue risk; trend may stall or reverse.
- 65–85: caution zone; watch for weakening confirmation.
- Below 50: less fatigue pressure.
How to use it: the best Exhaustion reads happen when Momentum is falling and Force is weakening at the same time.
Memory
What it measures: reaction to historical price structure.
How to think about it: markets remember areas where important business was done. Memory helps explain why price stalls, bounces, rejects, or consolidates around certain zones.
- 70+: strong reaction zone or historical influence.
- 50–70: moderate structural awareness.
- Below 50: less evidence of historical pull at the current location.
How to use it: high Memory with neutral Momentum often means reaction, pause, or rotation rather than immediate clean trend continuation.
Equilibrium
What it measures: balance between opposing forces.
How to think about it: Equilibrium is the market’s center of balance. High Equilibrium often appears before the market chooses a direction.
- 80+: balanced state; market may be coiling before expansion.
- 60–80: partial balance.
- Below 50: market is less balanced and more directional or dislocated.
How to use it: high Equilibrium plus high Compression can be a very useful “move is loading” condition.
High-Probability Dial Combinations
These are practical setup patterns. They are not guarantees. They are structured ways to read the cockpit quickly and consistently.
1) Expansion Trend Setup
Best for: catching strong directional continuation.
- Momentum: 70+
- Force: 65+
- Compression: 60+
- Exhaustion: under 50
Interpretation: energy is expanding and the move has real participation behind it.
Expectation: continuation, directional candles, stops likely to trigger in the direction of movement.
Example: Momentum 78, Force 71, Compression 66 → expect strong directional move.
2) Compression Breakout Setup
Best for: identifying breakouts before or during release.
- Compression: 80+
- Momentum: rising above 60
- Force: 60+
- Gravity: neutral to moderate
Interpretation: the market stored energy and is now beginning to release it.
Expectation: breakout, volatility expansion, faster candles.
Example: Compression 91, Momentum 64, Force 67 → expect breakout behavior.
3) Gravity Pullback Setup
Best for: recognizing retracement risk in an extended market.
- Gravity: 75+
- Momentum: below 50
- Compression: 50–70
- Exhaustion: under 60 or rising
Interpretation: price is stretched and losing clean expansion pace.
Expectation: pullback, mean reversion, smaller candles, retrace toward balance.
Example: Gravity 82, Momentum 41, Compression 63 → expect retracement.
4) Exhaustion Reversal Setup
Best for: spotting when a mature move is running out of gas.
- Exhaustion: 85+
- Momentum: falling
- Force: below 50
- Gravity: often elevated
Interpretation: the move may continue briefly, but the edge shifts toward stall or reversal.
Expectation: stall, sharp wick behavior, reversal attempt, failed continuation.
Example: Exhaustion 89, Momentum 46, Force 38 → expect reversal risk.
5) Memory Reaction Setup
Best for: understanding why price pauses or bounces at important zones.
- Memory: 70+
- Momentum: neutral
- Force: low to moderate
- Compression: moderate
Interpretation: the market is reacting to prior structure rather than freely expanding.
Expectation: bounce, stall, rejection, or consolidation around the zone.
Example: Memory 76, Momentum 48, Force 42 → expect reaction zone behavior.
6) Equilibrium Coil Setup
Best for: spotting quiet balance before expansion.
- Equilibrium: 80+
- Compression: 70+
- Momentum: low
Interpretation: the market is balanced, compressed, and likely preparing for a directional decision.
Expectation: sideways action first, then a larger move soon.
Example: Equilibrium 84, Compression 73, Momentum 35 → expect an upcoming move.
7) Acceleration Move
Best for: identifying runaway trend conditions.
- Momentum: 85+
- Force: 75+
- Compression: above 60
Interpretation: directional energy is not just expanding, it is accelerating.
Expectation: strong continuation, fast directional candles, difficult fading conditions.
8) Trend Stall Setup
Best for: recognizing when trend conditions are fading before a full reversal.
- Momentum: falling below 50
- Force: dropping
- Exhaustion: rising
Interpretation: trend still exists, but the energy supporting it is deteriorating.
Expectation: sideways consolidation, choppier candles, possible reversal attempt soon.
9) Liquidity Sweep / Stop Run Setup
Best for: spotting fast spikes that target obvious levels.
- Compression: 75+
- Gravity: 70+
- Momentum: spiking
Interpretation: the market may be releasing stored energy into a sharp stretch toward clustered stops.
Expectation: fast spikes, stop runs, emotional candles.
10) Quiet Market / Low Opportunity Setup
Best for: knowing when to be patient.
- Momentum: under 40
- Force: under 40
- Compression: under 50
Interpretation: the market lacks energy and may be too dull to produce quality movement.
Expectation: chop, drift, false starts, weak follow-through.
The Physics of the Vitruvian Market Model
Traditional indicators often describe what price has already done. The Vitruvian Cockpit is built to describe the forces acting on price.
The working idea is that markets behave like physical systems where energy builds, releases, stretches, tires, and returns to balance. That gives a repeating cycle:
Compression → Expansion → Exhaustion → Equilibrium → Compression
The dials help show where the market is inside that cycle:
- Compression shows stored energy.
- Momentum shows speed of release.
- Force shows the strength behind that release.
- Gravity shows how stretched the move has become.
- Exhaustion shows when the move is tiring.
- Equilibrium shows return to balance.
- Memory shows reaction to historical structure.
Vitruvian principle: markets behave through balance and imbalance. When forces move out of balance, price expands. When balance returns, price stabilizes or coils again.
Why this matters: the cockpit is not trying to magically predict the future from one number. It is trying to show whether the conditions for movement are strengthening or weakening.
Common Mistakes When Reading the Cockpit
- Reading one dial in isolation. The cockpit works best as a cluster-reading system.
- Treating Bias like a trigger. Bias is background pressure, not entry timing.
- Confusing Compression with direction. Compression means energy is building, not which side will win.
- Chasing high Gravity blindly. A stretched move can continue, but pullback risk is elevated.
- Ignoring Exhaustion. A strong trend can still be near its limit.
- Expecting Memory to trend cleanly. High Memory often means reaction, not immediate smooth continuation.
- Forcing trades in Quiet Market conditions. Some low-energy environments are better left alone.
Practical Reading Template
Use this simple process:
- Check whether Momentum is active or dormant.
- Check whether Compression is loading or already released.
- Confirm with Force to see whether the move has strength.
- Use Gravity and Exhaustion to judge maturity and risk.
- Use Memory and Equilibrium to understand context and likely reaction behavior.
Simple examples:
- Momentum high + Force high + Compression moderate: continuation condition.
- Compression high + Momentum rising: breakout loading or starting.
- Gravity high + Momentum weak: pullback condition.
- Exhaustion high + Force weak: reversal or stall risk.
- Memory high + Momentum neutral: reaction zone.
- Equilibrium high + Compression high: coil before expansion.
Final Operating Principle
The cockpit is strongest when it is used as a decision-support framework, not as a one-number oracle. The job of the cockpit is to make the state of the market easier to read quickly, repeatedly, and with structure.
Read alignment, not noise. When several dials agree, probability improves.
