🎥 Weekly Signal Replay – Key Confirmations
Asset | Week | Titan Signal | Market Behaviour | Outcome | Confidence |
SPX | Jul 01 → 22 | ✅ Full Long Bias | Rode 3-week breakout | +7.3% | 🟢 High |
Gold | Jul 08 → 22 | ✅ Continuation | Reclaimed trend, rallied | +2.4% | 🟢 High |
Crude | Jul 01 → 22 | ❌ Exit / Fade | Retail trapped, sold off | –3.6% | 🟢 High |
ETH | Jul 15 → 22 | ✅ Rebuild Start | Fresh breakout | +1.8% | 🟢 High |
NDX | Jul 01 → 22 | ✅ Trend Hold | Slow grind higher | +3.2% | ⚖️ Medium |
🔍 Missed Edge Cases – Honest Review
Asset | Week | Missed Opportunity | What Happened | Postmortem |
BTC | Jul 15 | Neutral Bias | Ripped 8% | No COT flow shift or retail skew detected — suggests alpha source was technical only |
EUR/USD | Jul 22 | Late Entry | Up +1.1% | Flow turned cleanly but entry came after breakout – missed early signal |
USD/JPY | Jul 08 → 22 | Risk Bias | Ranged | Retail stretched but smart money unclear — poor conviction trade |
🧩 Pattern: Where We Excel
- COT + Scanner overlap = 🔥 alpha zone
- Retail divergence adds edge when paired with structure
- Trend continuation plays consistently outperform “reversal guesses”
⚠️ Pattern: Where We Can Improve
- Volatility-only setups = low success
- Assets with no COT/retail skew (BTC, USD/JPY) = prone to noise
- Rebuild signals need tighter confirmation logic — ETH did well, BTC did not
🎯 Suggested Improvements
- Add “Post-Breakout Re-Entry Watch” to catch ETH/BTC-style moves
- Tighten entry filtering on vol-only setups
- Re-weight BTC, USD/JPY in alpha grid until clearer flow emerges
