Trend permission, priced entries, and sector rotation

The documented end-of-day workflow

The documented end-of-day procedure issued specific buy and sell prices, stops, and targets across four market groups: listed shares, exchange-traded funds, futures, and currency pairs.

Entries and exits were tied to support and resistance, and the procedure was described as always taking trades in the direction of the prevailing trend.

Those alerts were an end-of-day release: signals computed after the session close and intended for the next session or for a later designated price touch.

Trend permission

Trend permission is a short- or long-term market-wide state used to allow, reverse, or withhold new trades so that positions stay aligned with the prevailing direction.

A home-panel trend read covered the Dow Jones 30, S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Russell 2000, the 10-year Treasury, and the US dollar on both short- and long-term horizons.

Market calls were stored as historical backtested and live records in a color-coded annual calendar that could extend as far as 20 years, with green marking a bullish state and red a bearish one.

Editorial: that calendar is a log for backtesting, meaning a fixed rule set run on past prices first and then applied to later unseen prices to check whether the procedure stays consistent. It is not a claim about present-day results.

Priced rule entries and pending setups

A priced rule entry is a buy or sell that becomes valid only when a predetermined support or resistance price is reached, together with a matching stop and target.

A pending setup is a named long or short candidate that already carries an assigned entry price and stop before any fill occurs. After a pending buy or sell alert, the record showed the active long- or short-term trend, the stop, and how many days the setup had been in force.

Currency-pair alerts were issued on daily and weekly bars and on 15-, 60-, 120-, 240-, and 480-minute frames, released after the close for the next session or when a designated price was reached.

Industry rotation rank

Industry rotation rank is an ordered, color-coded list of sectors and member industries that shows which groups are strengthening or weakening over recent weeks.

Equities were grouped by sector, and a color-coded 10-week view of 15 sectors ranked the strongest groups at the top and the weakest at the bottom, with short- and long-term trend marks on each row.

Selecting a sector listed its industries, and selecting an industry listed member names together with any pending buy or sell prices already assigned.

Editorial: a climb toward the top of that list can be read as a breakout, the moment price leaves a prior range or trend boundary, used here as a cue that a group or name is rotating into leadership.

Scan horizon and exit style

Scan horizon is the bar length that sets how long a signal is expected to remain in force, from a few sessions on daily bars to several months on weekly bars.

Daily scans were described as lasting a few days to weeks, while weekly scans were described as lasting several months or longer.

Staged versus single exit names two profit-taking styles inside the same scan family. One scan style closed the full position at a single exit, while the other took profits in stages against program-set targets.
