Six ways of reading the same market anchor
We build many ideas, hold every one to the same statistical bar, and cut fast — this board changes as verdicts land.
Tide
Orderly pullbacks that defend a directionally sloping session VWAP in liquid mega-cap and semiconductor stocks.
Requires minimum session depth and participation, a meaningful VWAP slope, and a controlled retest. It remains broker-read-only until cost-adjusted shadow and walk-forward evidence clears the gate.
Ignition
Stocks in play that clear the opening range while holding the correct side of VWAP on exceptional participation.
The setup demands a material gap, elevated relative volume, and range confirmation. Its high-beta stock pool is disjoint from every other strategy.
Elastic
Failed volatility-normalized extensions back toward VWAP in liquid, non-trending defensive, financial, healthcare, and energy names.
The rule rejects strong VWAP slopes, extreme gap regimes, and participation outside a bounded range. Its target is the session VWAP rather than an unconstrained mean-reversion guess.
Counterweight
Stock-versus-SPY VWAP dislocations designed to remove much of the market direction through a matched hedge.
Signal measurement is enabled, but paired execution fails closed until atomic lifecycle, partial-fill, and reconciliation tests pass. Version 1 cannot create a one-legged broker position.
Aftershock
Gap-day acceptance after high participation reclaims or loses the event session's anchored VWAP.
The setup distinguishes an accepted event move from an opening print through gap, volume, and VWAP confirmation. The software and internet universe is isolated from the other sleeves.
Coil
Balance around VWAP followed by a range break on renewed volume in consumer, auto, retail, and transport equities.
The setup requires a genuinely compressed range, a volume burst, and a break on the correct side of VWAP. It is designed to capture a transition in auction state, not ordinary noise.
Failed ideas stay on the record.
53 historical hypotheses remain in the audit record, while 6 frozen VWAP sleeves form the current research generation. 0 are approved for execution. Every sleeve is reviewed on reconciled evidence; no model can promote itself.
