No-Trade Condition Quality
No explicit no-trade field exists in the journal. Proxy assessment uses weak directional/target evidence and elevated invalidation risk. Quality: Needs improvement.
Missing: formal no-trade labels, confidence score, stop distance, and R-multiple fields.
Data Completeness
Available: grade, trend proxy, stretched flag, support/resistance hits, MFE/MAE, horizon moves, and forward key-level setup tags. Missing: execution fills, slippage, and true tick/100t bars. Pending windows this week: 24.
What Worked
- Automated journal and grading pipeline produced a usable weekly audit without exposing raw positioning internals.
- Best available setup bucket: Bull / balanced with 50.0% target-hit rate.
- Longer horizon rows highlight whether calls matured beyond first-noise reactions.
What Failed
- Formal R-multiple, stop-distance, and execution/slippage fields are still missing from the journal.
- Worst available setup bucket: Bear/Neutral / balanced with 31.9% target-hit rate.
- Repeated pending rows in the raw grade log require deduplication during dashboard aggregation.
Adjustments for Next Week
- Log explicit setup type, confidence, stop distance, target distance, and R multiple for every report.
- Penalize or suppress setup buckets whose target-hit rate falls below 40% over the rolling week.
- Keep raw GEX/options details internal, but add a simple confluence tag for post-trade scoring.
- Weight 15m/30m context evidence highest; treat 60m as context rather than the default hold window.
