How to Use

Five-minute orientation. What each model does, how to read a signal, and the daily flow that turns the terminal into actual P&L.

This is the same guide as the terminal panel, rebuilt as a normal page so you can read it from the dashboard without being pulled into the terminal workspace.

Grades explained
Every signal carries a conviction grade. Stats use a locked 2025-2026 forward sample. When multiple grades fire the same setup, only the highest grade counts.

How it works
When a new signal fires, the terminal checks the models that fired for the same setup and assigns the highest available grade. If multiple models hit the same ticker, side, and entry time, the highest-grade signal is shown once.
#
The numbers above
Performance columns use the locked forward sample after highest-grade priority and dedup. Trades/wk is the subscriber-visible cadence over market weeks, so overlapping model votes count once. Swing losses cap at −3.2% via the live stop.
02
Read a signal
Every row in every model table is the same shape. Once you read one, you read them all.

Alerts
Every flag on the board is one of these states — same idea as grades: each means something specific, and most expire on a timer.
