How Signals Are Generated

Every VECTRA strategy follows a multi-stage signal generation pipeline:

1

Market Context

Before scanning for setups, each strategy first establishes context:

• Regime Detection — Is the market trending, ranging, volatile, or transitioning? VECTRA detects 9 distinct market states.

• Adaptive Parameters — All thresholds (confidence minimums, SL/TP multipliers, ADX requirements) auto-adjust based on the active regime.

• Session Identification — London Open, NY Open, Asian Range, London Close, or off-session. Certain strategies apply ICT Killzone multipliers.

2

Confluence Gathering

The strategy evaluates multiple independent conditions. Each confirmed condition is a "confluence":

• Premium/Discount Zone position (Fibonacci + VWAP + ATR blended zones)

• Order Block proximity and volume quality

• Fair Value Gap presence and fill percentage

• CVD Divergence (graded: mild, moderate, strong)

• Market Structure alignment (HH/HL for longs, LH/LL for shorts)

• Higher Timeframe trend alignment

• Order Flow imbalance direction and magnitude

• Volume expansion vs. average

• Funding Rate alignment (contrarian or confirming)

• OI × Price Divergence classification

3

Confidence Scoring via Sigmoid Function

Raw confluence counts are transformed into a confidence score using a sigmoid curve:

• 3 confluences → ~0.72 confidence

• 5 confluences → ~0.80 confidence

• 7 confluences → ~0.86 confidence

• 9 confluences → ~0.90 confidence

This replaces naive multiplicative scoring which would compress all high-confluence signals to the same capped value, losing differentiation.

4

Regime-Weighted Adjustments

Each confluence type receives a weight that varies by detected regime:

• Strong Trend: Structure alignment and HTF confirmation carry +15% more weight

• Ranging: FVG zones and Fibonacci levels carry +15% more weight

• Volatile: CVD divergence and Order Flow carry +18% more weight

5

Quality Gate

Before emission, signals must pass: minimum confidence threshold, minimum R:R ratio, signal cooldown (no rapid-fire), and regime filter (some strategies skip volatile or transitioning regimes).

6

Post-Generation Pipeline

After raw signal generation, signals pass through 7 additional external quality gates (only signals surviving every gate proceed to execution):

1

Tier 2 Quality Enhancement

Additional quality scoring.

2

Tiered Confidence Modifiers

OI divergence, whale flow, taker bias, HTF confirmation, portfolio correlation.

3

Entry Timing

Candle close quality, chase detection, sweep confirmation, session timing.

4

Microstructure

Spread analysis, depth scoring, liquidity regime.

5

ML Filter

Gradient Boosted model trained on historical outcomes.

6

AI Validation

Claude AI evaluates the complete trade thesis.

7

Correlation Guard

Portfolio-level exposure and sector concentration check.

Only signals surviving every gate proceed to execution.
