ZenAlgo - Engine
Engine combines several directional models into one decision panel. It is useful when you want to distinguish a trend continuation, a pullback opportunity, and a contrary reversal without treating every signal as equal.
How to read it
Begin with the LONG % and SHORT % lines. They show which side currently has more agreement. The mirrored READY plot shows whether enough conditions are aligned for execution. A high score is stronger context, but the actual trigger and price location still matter.
Engine groups setups into three families:
- TV - Trend Vector: continuation in the active trend.
- CV - Contrary Vector: reversal against the active move.
- PBV - Pullback Vector: re-entry after a pullback.
Lines and symbols
| Visual | Meaning |
|---|---|
| LONG % / SHORT % | Current directional agreement |
| READY above/below zero | Bullish or bearish readiness |
| Star columns | Strength count behind the directional engine |
| Square | Active position state |
| Circle | Add-to-position event |
| X | Exit event |
| A / B / C trigger | Trigger family or strength tier |
Read the markers as a sequence. A trigger opens an idea, the square shows an active state, circles mark additions, and X marks the engine's exit condition.
Alerts
Engine exposes 26 alert conditions:
| Group | Alerts |
|---|---|
| Any trigger | LONG TRIG ANY, SHORT TRIG ANY |
| Trigger tiers | LONG A/B/C, SHORT A/B/C |
| Strategy families | ENGINE TV LONG/SHORT, ENGINE CV ANY/LONG/SHORT, ENGINE PBV ANY/LONG/SHORT |
| Trend Vector strength | TV LONG/SHORT >=2 stars, x6+, >=10 stars, x7+, x8+ |
Use ANY alerts for broad scanning. Family alerts are better when your plan explicitly distinguishes continuation, reversal, and pullback setups. Strength alerts reduce frequency but can arrive later in an already developed move.
