Edge score

Long structure, confirmed, with a RISK-ON tape behind it.

This is the arithmetic sum of the named factors below — not a probability, not an accuracy claim. Everything that moved it is listed. Nothing is hidden in a model.

What produced that number

The market backdrop first, because the same setup is not the same trade in a different tape. Then this name’s own structure.

Trigger

An observable, reproducible trigger: a completed daily close holding above 9.72 — the prior 20-session high.

Invalidation — where this idea is objectively wrong

The idea is objectively wrong on a completed close back through 8.72 (recent 5-session low).

Position sizing

Stop distance is $0.99 (level 9.72 → invalidation 8.72). Enter YOUR maximum planned loss to get an educational share-equivalent: units = floor(your risk ÷ $0.99). Excludes gaps, slippage, fees, fractional-share rules, leverage and options multipliers.

Completed-session volume is ABOVE AVERAGE versus the prior 20 sessions (1.92× average).

Before you trust any of it: how often this score is wrong — we measured it · every trade the bot made, losers included

Why this is checkable

We publish how often we are wrong. The calibration for this score — including where it fails — is public at /research. Almost nobody in this category publishes that, and a score you cannot audit is an opinion with a decimal point.

We give you the level that proves it wrong, not just the entry. LINK-USD is invalid below $7.90. Anyone can tell you where to buy; the number that protects capital is the one that ends the argument.

These levels are fixed for the 2026-08-18 session. They are not rewritten after the move, so this page can be checked against what actually happened.

Objective market data and a transparent, rules-based framework — not financial advice, a recommendation, or a signal to buy or sell. The edge score is a sum of the named factors shown, not a probability or accuracy claim. Share-equivalent figures exclude gaps, slippage, fees, fractional-share rules, leverage and options multipliers. Trading involves risk of loss. We publish a measurement of this score’s own predictive power, including the part where it fails: see the calibration.
