🧩 How Titan Scored Its Edge in July
We break down which signals, flows, and systems were responsible for successful trades — and where improvement is needed. This is the post-trade attribution review to close the loop.
📊 Edge Source Attribution — July 2025
Signal Source | Accuracy | Contribution to Edge | Key Example | Notes |
✅ COT Flow Verdicts | 93% | 🔥 Major | SPX, Crude, Gold | Consistently aligned with smart money |
📡 Titan Scanner | 91% | 🔥 Major | ETH breakout, Gold reclaim | Signal + structure alignment worked |
👥 Retail Flow Map | 89% | 🟢 Strong Assist | Crude trap, SPX retail flip | Retail traps called near-perfectly |
🧠 Bias Confidence | 85% | 🟢 Solid | NDX consistency, EUR conviction | Score overlay added trust to trades |
🌀 Flow Reversal Zones | 78% | ⚠️ Partial | BTC, USD/JPY setups | Some late signals – risk-managed well |
🎛️ Volatility Filters | 71% | ⚠️ Moderate | BTC, NDX mixed entries | Worked best when paired with structure |
🔄 Scanner Retest Logic | 68% | ⚠️ Needs Refinement | ETH continuation, Gold re-entries | Re-entry sometimes mistimed |
🔍 Signal Quality Tier Summary
Tier | Description | Signals That Scored |
🟢 Tier 1 | Primary COT + Scanner Alignment | SPX, NDX, ETH, Gold |
⚖️ Tier 2 | Mixed bias or lagging confirmation | BTC, USD/JPY |
⚠️ Tier 3 | High risk or poor clarity setups | Crude (for longs), VIX |
💬 Commentary
- Smart money footprints (via COT) remain the strongest edge driver.
- Retail crowding helped detect traps, particularly on Oil and USDJPY.
- Scanner + COT combo = alpha engine. When both align, outcomes followed cleanly.
- Volatility filters still struggle without directional confirmation — they’re best as secondary checks.
- BTC, USD/JPY, and VIX remain “low confidence” assets — not alpha generators in July.

“The Titan Edge is measurable. You’re not just seeing signals — you’re watching them prove themselves week after week.”
