Underlying Key Concepts

🔹 Signal duration depends solely on objective market action measurement.
🔹 It conveys what “is” – not “why,” or for how long.
🔹 It is an objective, repeatable, and reliable tool to

enforce discipline,
prevent unforced errors,
eliminate emotion and confusion, and
make sound decisions in all market environments.

This enforced discipline ensures new positions are opened only in the direction of market strengthening or weakening.

If strengthening, only new long positions can be opened.

If weakening, only new short positions can be opened.

Why? Trend respect.

Market weakening does not mean “exit existing long positions.” Only potential new positions are impacted by the critical question of “what is the market doing now?”

Existing open positions are closed when their behavior negates the entry thesis.
