## 🎯 SIGNAL TYPES

### Tier Signals (S🎯, A🎯, B🎯)

These are high-confluence signals that pass all filters:

| Tier | Points | Value/Contract | Action | Hold Time |
|------|--------|----------------|--------|-----------|
| **S** | 50+ | $250+ | HOLD | 2-5 min |
| **A** | 25-49 | $125-245 | SWING | 1-3 min |
| **B** | 12-24 | $60-120 | SCALP | 30-90 sec |

**Filters Required:**
1. Tier threshold met (points)
2. Volume ≥ 1.8x average
3. Delta dominance ≥ 62%
4. Body ratio ≥ 70%
5. Range ≥ 1.3x average
6. Proper wicks (no reversal wicks)
7. CVD confirmation (optional)
8. In trading session

### Zone Signals (Z)

Zone entries trigger when:
- Price is inside an FVG zone
- Delta shows dominance in zone direction
- Volume is above average
- In active session
- No tier signal already present

---

## 📊 CONFLUENCE SCORING

**Maximum Score: 10 points**

| Factor | Points | Condition |
|--------|--------|-----------|
| Tier | 1-3 | B=1, A=2, S=3 |
| In Zone | +2 | Price inside FVG zone |
| Strong Volume | +2 | Volume ≥ 2x average |
| Strong Delta | +2 | Delta ≥ 70% |
| CVD Momentum | +1 | CVD trending with signal |

**Score Interpretation:**
- **7-10**: Elite setup - full size
- **5-6**: Good setup - standard size
- **4**: Minimum threshold - reduced size
- **< 4**: No signal shown

---

## 🟩 FVG ZONES

### What Are FVG Zones?
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are price gaps between candles where price moved so fast that a gap was left. These gaps often act as support/resistance.

### Zone Requirements
- Gap size ≥ 25% of ATR
- Impulse candle has strong body (≥ 70%)
- Impulse candle is 1.5x average range
- Volume above average on impulse
- Created during active session

### Zone States
1. **Fresh** (bright color) - Just created, untested
2. **Tested** (gray) - Price touched zone midpoint
3. **Broken** (removed) - Price closed through zone

### Trading FVG Zones
| Zone | Approach From | Expected |
|------|--------------|----------|
| 🟩 Bull | Above (falling) | Support - look for bounce |
| 🟥 Bear | Below (rising) | Resistance - look for rejection |

---

## 🟣 SINGLE PRINTS

Single prints mark candles with:
- Range > 1.3x average
- Body > 70% of range
- Volume > 1.8x average
- Clear delta dominance

These become horizontal support/resistance lines extending into the future.
