Context before signal. Risk before trade.
Each layer answers a different question so no single indicator is mistaken for a complete strategy.
- Market: what is the current risk regime?
- Weekly / daily: where is price in the structure?
- Catalyst: why does today matter?
- Rotation: where is capital concentrating?
- Leader: who leads inside the strong group?
- Options structure: what are the liquidity and gamma contexts?
- Frog 3m: has price confirmed?
- Human decision: is the risk worth taking?
- Quant: does long-run evidence support the edge?
Research integrity
Production research forbids lookahead and repainting. Missing data stays missing, and every strategy change requires a new version and frozen configuration hash.
