Multi-ticker model monitor ?
Read each card from top to bottom: today’s calendar stage, the latest completed-daily-bar decision, forecast window, then out-of-sample evidence. These can briefly differ before a new daily bar completes. A forecast is a watch period—not an automatic order.

Primary model detail ?
This frozen artifact controls the selected mode. Pilot paper mode may exercise an explicitly authorized unqualified artifact at reduced simulated risk.
Latest research candidate ?
Research results are shown even when they fail qualification. Only the explicit, bounded pilot mode may send an unqualified candidate to Alpaca paper trading.
Course market structure
Completed Alpaca daily bars. Pivots use the frozen three-bar confirmation rule; shaded bands are model forecast windows.
Lunar cycle wheel
Geocentric Moon position from the course dataset. The red arc is the fixed ±15° Aries inversion zone; entering it never triggers an inversion by itself.
Forward forecast calendar
Windows express timing hypotheses, not orders. A trade still requires confirmed structure, mode authorization, market availability, and every risk gate.
Latest candidate qualification
Blue is achieved performance; the amber marker is the frozen minimum. Execution remains blocked until every mandatory threshold passes.

Plain-language glossary — what every unusual term means
- Pilot paper
- Autonomous simulated trading using Alpaca’s paper account. No real capital is sent to the market.
- Qualified / unqualified
- Whether a model passed every frozen statistical gate. Pilot mode can test unqualified models, but the warning remains visible.
- Frozen model
- A version whose parameters and hash are locked so live testing cannot quietly change the rules.
- Forecast window
- A calendar date range in which the course timing model expects a meaningful high or low. It is a watch period, not an order.
- Completed daily bar
- The last fully closed market day used for decisions. Today’s calendar window can begin before that bar becomes available.
- Polarity
- The expected turning-point type: LOW watches for a bullish reversal; HIGH watches for a bearish reversal.
- Structure confirmation
- Price must break the model’s recent high or low boundary before a forecast becomes a trade signal.
- Time hit
- The percentage of forecast windows that landed close enough to a confirmed market pivot.
- Polarity accuracy
- Among timing hits, the percentage that correctly called whether the pivot was a high or a low.
- Baseline lift
- How much the model’s timing hit rate beats a simple naïve timing baseline. Positive is better; the frozen target is 5%.
- Net expectancy (R)
- Average simulated outcome per trade after paper costs. R normalizes profit or loss by the amount initially risked.
- PBO
- Probability of backtest overfitting: an estimate of how likely model selection found noise instead of a durable pattern.
- Adjusted p-value
- A multiple-testing-aware significance check. Lower values provide stronger evidence that timing results were not luck.
- Lunar cycle
- A repeating Moon-position interval fitted from the course dataset and historical market pivots.
- COR
- Cycle of Repetition: planetary-expression timing that must align with the lunar forecast within a fixed day tolerance.
- Inversion
- A frozen course rule that may flip the expected high/low polarity when the specified planetary conditions occur.
- Angle of Repetition (AOR)
- A Square-of-Nine price relationship used as live price confluence; price must be close enough to a projected level.
- ATR
- Average True Range, a volatility measure used to express price tolerance and some stop distances.
- Signal attrition
- How many initial lunar candidates remain after COR, price, inversion, and other course filters are applied.
- Risk per position
- Maximum account loss planned if one position reaches its protective stop.
- Gross exposure
- Total absolute market value of all long and short positions, divided by account equity.
- Reconciliation
- A safety comparison between local order records and Alpaca’s open orders and positions.
- Pyramiding
- Adding another entry to a ticker that already has a position. It is blocked in this pilot.
- Stage: WAIT / WATCH
- WAIT means no active forecast. WATCH means a forecast is active but entry confirmation has not passed.
- Stage: SIGNAL / ORDER / POSITION
- SIGNAL passed model logic; ORDER was submitted; POSITION means Alpaca reports an active holding.
