Let the system scan: the PA indicator

Key idea: the PA indicator boxes patterns at strategy levels, with the 4 checks.

Reading a PA box

  • Solid — all 4 conditions met. Dashed — not yet.
  • Grey — against the main scenario. Faded — ended.
  • Hover (on a phone: tap) the PA · pattern label for the 4 checks, trigger, invalidation and next level.

Works with

  • Strategy bar — Daily · 4H · Weekly bias and the Up / Down levels.
  • 80% / 90% price zones — keep invalidation outside everyday movement.
Every card says: not yet validated — not a buy or sell recommendation.
What does a grey PA box mean?

The pattern points against the main scenario — review it, it is not a with-trend signal.
