Market Intelligence — one verdict from five engines

One number instead of twelve charts. Five independent engines vote on a single verdict across six timeframes — structure, indicators, liquidity, options flow and institutional positioning — the way a desk reads the market, not the way a single indicator does.

Market Intelligence — the five-engine verdict with per-timeframe breakdown

Why it exists

Single-indicator signals fail because markets are multi-causal. A moving average says one thing, the options surface says another, institutional positioning says a third — and reading all of them, across six timeframes, by hand is roughly 180 data points to interpret on every decision. Most traders simplify, pick one lens, and get caught when the others disagree.

Market Intelligence reads all of them at once. Five independent engines each form their own view, then an aggregator combines them into a single verdict with a confidence score — so you get the desk's read in one glance, refreshed every few minutes.

Always pre-computed
The verdict is computed continuously and served in milliseconds — nothing is calculated when you click.

The five engines

EngineWhat it reads
StructureBreak of structure, change of character and market-structure shifts using ATR-relative thresholds, plus premium/discount placement — across all six timeframes
IndicatorMoving-average alignment, trend strength (forcing RANGE in chop) and volume trend, distilled into one bias score
LiquidityCross-venue cluster analysis within ±3% of mid, wall asymmetry, and a "pressed against wall" high-probability setup read
OptionsNet GEX regime, gamma flip, put/call ratio and max-pain pull — what the options market expects
Smart MoneyWeekly CFTC institutional positioning with percentile context and basis-trade detection

How the engines agree

The aggregator isn't a simple average — it's a weighted ensemble with two safeguards built in. Multi-timeframe gating means higher timeframes constrain lower ones: if the 1h wants to buy but the 4h disagrees with conviction, the 1h's confidence is cut — the child doesn't shout over the parent. The premium/discount filter is an anti-FOMO mechanism: if the verdict is long but price sits in the premium of its recent range, you get an inline warning rather than a green light to chase the top.

The final verdict carries a bias (up, down or range), a conviction level, a confidence percentage, how many engines align, and a setup-quality grade.

Consensus vs chop

Four of six timeframes pointing up is a signal. One of six is noise. Five engines all aligned is a strong-conviction read. Market Intelligence turns roughly 180 manual data points into a single answer you can act on — and tells you when there's no answer worth acting on.

Four decision profiles

ProfileHow it weights the engines
DefaultAll five engines weighted roughly equally
FuturesLeans on structure, indicators and liquidity; options ignored
OptionsLeans heavily on the options engine, then structure
CalculatorYou set the weights with sliders and watch the verdict update live

Calculator mode does zero back-end work — because every engine's signal is already pre-computed, sliding a weight re-fuses the verdict in milliseconds. You can ask "what if I trusted structure twice as much?" and see the answer instantly.

Ranked options strategies

Beyond a directional read, Market Intelligence ranks 14 multi-leg options strategies for the current regime — spreads, condors, butterflies, risk reversals, calendars and more. Each comes with a per-leg breakdown, premium estimate, profit-zone math, target and stop, R:R and a sizing recommendation. You don't need to know what a Jade Lizard is — the system shows you when it fits (high IV, bullish-to-neutral) and exactly how to build it.

What it doesn't do

Market Intelligence classifies the present — it doesn't predict the future, place orders, or replace your risk management. The sizing recommendation is a starting point, not your position size; you know your account. It's a read, made fast and complete, so the decision stays yours.

Part of the operating system

Market Intelligence is where the system comes together: its engines are fed by Order Flow, Liquidity Map, Options Map and Smart Money — the same data, no drift. Its verdict and trade plan flow onward into Strategy Lab, Alerts and the AI Analyst. One read, shared across the platform.
