A signal is not an order. The decision framework chains phase, ML consensus, risk line and tier rules into a clear go / reduce / skip checklist.
Decision-making: field priority hierarchy
When the alert is large and overwhelming โ check fields in this order:
- 1 Phase โ if EXHAUSTION / TRAP / FALLING KNIFE โ SKIP. Everything else is irrelevant.
- 2 EARLY DETECTION โ lag โฅ15s + agreement โฅ60% โ priority entry.
- 3 Cross propagation โ ORGANIC / MATURE / CONFIRMED? โ strong signal. STALLED โ skip.
- 4 ML ensemble โ Scalp + Pump + Trade all agree (all โฅ65%, arrows โ)? โ ML confirms.
- 5 GP verdict โ โ โ โ or โ โ โ bonus confirmation.
- 6 Forecast โ potential > risk by 2ร+. If risk โ1% but potential +1.5% โ skip, unfavorable RR.
- 7 Tier โ determines position size, not entry/no-entry.
- 8 Signal history โ if this is the 5th+ signal in a ๐ downtrend โ likely dead cat bounce, not a pump.
