On deck

Levels that would switch a setup on at the next close, ranked by the book's per-trade result for that setup in that market group, discounted by distance.

The desk read

Editorial. Written each morning from this page's numbers; it carries no weight in any computed column.

The tape

Every market CONSOL monitors, at the last settled close. Dots on the right are the book's eight conditions and five setups. Select a row for its chart and checklist.

Moves in ATR

Each market's change divided by its own 14-day average true range, so a quiet bond and a wild softs contract are on one scale. Beyond ±1 ATR in a day is a large session.

The five setups

The survivors of a 4,680-configuration search in the First-Principles TA book, confirmed on six markets the search never saw. Every one is traded the same way: buy the close, stop 6 ATR below, trail 6 ATR under the best close, out on the stop or after 60 sessions.
