A break that holds, or a pullback that resumes.
Momentum is a signal engine, not a Radar watch. It asks whether a range break is holding, or whether a shallow pullback is resuming the trend. Own geometry from the broken range or the pullback origin. RR ≥ 2. Own Telegram, own paper book, own bot toggle.
Equal weight. Different physics.
Shared raw tape. Independent evaluate(). Independent ledger, Telegram lane, and bot toggle. Radar and Intelligence never print a side.
Five books
Scalp, Intraday, Swing, Position, Catalyst. Never stack.
Whole-market rank
Heat, L2 score, trigger chain. Heat is not a ticket.
Liquidity event
Sweep → absorb → reclaim. Panic is NO_TRADE.
Venue discovery
Follow the mark farthest from the median.
Break and hold
Or a shallow pullback that resumes. Own geometry.
Release
Compression, then volume-confirmed expansion.
Exhaustion
Stretched location, intact mean, wick stop.
Failed break
The crowd is stuck. Distinct from Scout.
Tape + location
Signed volume only where a level already exists.
Crowded unwind
Funding, OI, then a bar against the crowd.
Versus BTC
Leader or laggard, then resume. Not Lead.
FX metals desk
Five equal perps. G01–G08. Never a crypto vote.
State only
WATCH / ANOMALY. Never LONG / SHORT. Never a seat.
Range, hold, pullback, geometry.
A wick through a level is not a break. A deep retrace is not a continuation.
Map the range
A real range, not a two-bar pause. Momentum does not borrow Coil’s squeeze score.
Break and hold
Close through, then hold. Failed holds stay silent — that is Trap’s question, not this book.
Or shallow pullback
Continuation only after a shallow pause against the break. Deep mean-seeks belong to Reversion.
Own geometry
Stop beyond the range or pullback origin. RR ≥ 2 after fees, or skip. Never glue a 2R target.
Cockpit, paper book, report, then the bot toggle.
What this is
- A break-and-hold / continuation engine with its own stop.
- A high quality bar. Many names can print if they independently clear it.
- A paper book and Telegram lane that never share Hunter’s chat.
- Wired to the CEX bot when you enable the toggle.
What this is not
- Not Radar compression, and not Coil waiting for expansion.
- Not a reason to chase every 15m breakout on the tape.
- Not a vote with Style or Relative. Isolation is the product.
- Not financial advice. If the hold fails, the idea is gone.
Momentum engine, in plain language
Is Momentum just Style trend with a new name?
No. Style confluence can include trend. Momentum only prints break-and-hold or continuation after a shallow pullback, with geometry from that event.
Does Radar feed Momentum?
No. Radar may hint humans to watch Momentum. evaluate() never reads a Radar board.
What if the break fails?
Momentum stays silent. A failed break that traps the crowd is Trap’s book.
Are Momentum cards financial advice?
No. Paper tickets, invalidation, and R multiples are tools. Leverage can liquidate you. Past paper results do not guarantee future results.
