Today's signals

No new buy or sell signals in the last 24 hours. 4 instruments currently open, 14 flat and watching their trigger levels below. This strategy only acts on real channel breakouts, so most days there's nothing to do — that's expected, not a malfunction.

Signal proximity

How close each flat instrument's price is to actually triggering a buy or sell, grouped by asset class (so correlated signals are easy to spot) and ranked closest-first within each group. Each row also shows its backtested track record — hover any row for the full note — and its channel width as a rough gauge of how wide a stop that setup would need.
