Useful output
correct direction plus correct silence, combined
Directional accuracy is scored per pattern against the real price move over each call’s horizon, and surfaced per pattern only once it clears 90% in live data — we don’t put a blended directional number up while the engine is being calibrated.
60-name S&P 500 backtest, April 2025 – April 2026, names with ±10%+ moves. Honest framing on purpose: a framework that knows when it has no view beats one that always has an opinion. Education, not investment advice.
