Strategy DNA · rules + versions + evidence

Stop changing the rules inside the same sample.

Signal Bridge preserves the strategy identity behind every result. Setup rules, indicator version, settings, evidence stage, and forward observations stay attached so a later change cannot quietly rewrite what an earlier backtest or trading session actually tested.

Version discipline

A strategy change creates a new identity—not a new excuse.

The sample only means something when the tested rules are known. Signal Bridge keeps the exact before/after boundary visible.

Start Here

Location gives the setup. Context gives permission. Price gives the trigger.

A clean strategy separates those jobs instead of treating every indicator, level, or candle as a standalone signal.

Location

Where is price reacting? Opening-range levels, prior highs/lows, session extremes, equal highs/lows, VWAP, FVGs, support/resistance, or another predefined area.

Question: Are we at a meaningful place?

Context

What is the market doing around that location? Higher-timeframe structure, session behavior, trend alignment, volume, volatility, correlations, and news can all change setup quality.

Question: Does the environment support the idea?

Trigger

What makes the trade actionable now? Reclaim, rejection, displacement, market-structure shift, engulfing body, wick rejection, breakout, pullback, or another defined confirmation.

Question: Did price actually confirm?

Invalidation

Where is the thesis wrong? Failed reclaim, acceptance through the level, opposite-side structure break, volatility stop, or another predefined risk boundary.

Question: What proves the trade wrong?

Setup Library

Different strategies can share the same decision framework.

These are setup families and research frameworks — useful starting structures that can be turned into a ruleset, backtest, or discretionary playbook.

Opening range

Break & Retest

Build a defined opening range, wait for price to leave it, then evaluate the boundary or midpoint response instead of blindly chasing the first breakout.

Location: Range edge / midpoint
Trigger: Retest / reclaim / rejection
Main risk: False breakout / chop

Liquidity

Sweep + Reclaim

Price trades through a prior or session high/low, takes the obvious liquidity, then fails to accept beyond it and reclaims the reference.

Location: Prior/session liquidity
Trigger: Failure + reclaim
Main risk: Calling every wick a sweep

Imbalance

FVG / Imbalance Reaction

Fair value gaps and other imbalance areas can define locations where price may revisit, react, or continue. The setup still needs a defined response at the area.

Location: Imbalance / FVG
Trigger: Reaction / displacement
Main risk: Over-marking zones

Structure

MSS / Displacement

A decisive move or short-term market-structure shift can be used as confirmation that control has changed after a sweep, pullback, or level reaction.

Location: Key level / pullback
Trigger: Structure break + follow-through
Main risk: Defining noise as structure

Session model

Session Liquidity Rotation

Asia, London, New York, prior-day, and overnight highs/lows can frame where price is positioned and which external reference may become the next objective.

Location: Session high / low
Trigger: Sweep, hold, or continuation
Main risk: Assuming every level must trade

Trend

Pullback Continuation

Use higher-timeframe or intraday trend context, wait for a pullback into a defined area, then require renewed momentum before joining continuation.

Context: Trend / VWAP / EMA
Trigger: Hold + renewed momentum
Main risk: Buying late exhaustion

Filter research

RVOL + Correlation Filter

Relative volume and correlated-asset behavior can be tested as additional filters around an otherwise defined setup rather than being mixed into entry logic without attribution.

Role: Context / confirmation
Test: On/off comparison
Main risk: Redundant filters

No-trade model

Pass / Stand Aside

A strategy is incomplete if it only defines entries. Oversized ranges, conflicting context, double-sided chop, major news risk, or failed confirmation can all be explicit pass conditions.

Role: Protect opportunity quality
Output: WAIT / PASS
Value: Measurable no-trade data

Confluence Dictionary

Give every confirmation one clear job.

Stacking multiple tools only helps when they contribute different information. A useful strategy can explain whether each input is location, bias, context, trigger, risk, or target.

4H / 1H structureBias

Frames whether the larger auction is trending, reversing, or balanced.

Session highs / lowsLocation / target

Objective references for where price is positioned and where liquidity may cluster.

VWAPContext

Intraday volume-weighted reference for judging acceptance above or below the session mean.

EMA stackMomentum context

Moving-average alignment can describe trend direction and pullback structure.

FVG / imbalanceLocation

Marks an area of fast one-sided movement that may later be revisited.

Liquidity sweepSetup condition

Shows price traded through an obvious high or low and may now be testing acceptance.

MSS / displacementConfirmation

Evidence that short-term control may have shifted or continuation has reasserted.

Reclaim / rejection candleTrigger

The immediate price response that can turn a watched location into an actionable setup.

Relative volumeParticipation

Measures whether current activity is elevated or muted relative to a chosen baseline.

Correlated marketContext

ES/NQ or another related market can be tracked for confirmation, divergence, or conflicting behavior.

Strategy Lab

Turn a setup into a versioned system you can compare.

The private Strategy Lab is the working member layer: create the strategy identity, save new versions instead of overwriting old rules, and keep the evidence stage explicit as the sample grows.

Define

Market, session, setup, trigger, invalidation, target, risk, filters, and pass conditions.

Version

Save changes as a new version so the current rules never overwrite the history that produced earlier results.

Test

Keep backtests, replay notes, screenshots, and component comparisons tied to the version being evaluated.

Forward review

Link live or paper journal entries back to the strategy version and compare what happened after the change.
