The 7 Technical Qualification Gates
- Trend Confluence Gate: Security must align with dominant 20 EMA and 50 SMA moving averages and SPY/QQQ macro regime.
- Support & Resistance Confluence: Entry must align with verified structural shelves (prior swing highs, volume nodes, or dynamic moving averages).
- Volume Participation Filter: Breakouts require >1.5x relative volume (RVOL); pullbacks require low-volume retracements (<0.8x RVOL).
- Strict 2.0R Minimum Reward-to-Risk Gate: Mathematical distance to target must be at least twice the distance to stop loss. Less than 2.0R is automatically rejected.
- Volatility Regime & ATR Expansion: Adequate Average True Range potential to reach target without overhead supply congestion.
- Catalyst & Event Blackout Guard: Trades within 36 hours of earnings announcements, FOMC rate decisions, or major CPI releases are disqualified.
- Integer Dollar Position Sizing: Calculated using:
Position Shares = floor((Account Equity * Risk%) / (Entry - Stop)).
3 Production Strategy Models
A. Trend Pullback
Detects securities in established uptrends retracing gently toward 20 & 50 EMA on declining volume with ADX > 22.
B. Breakout & Retest
Identifies established resistance shelves broken with volume (>1.5x RVOL) and retested as new support with lower wick absorption.
C. Consolidation Breakout
Detects multi-week volatility contraction patterns (VCPs) with compressed ATR, awaiting institutional volume expansion.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an automated trading bot that executes orders for me?
No. AI Planned Trades is strictly a research, screening, and pre-trade planning platform. We do not place trades, hold client funds, or connect directly to broker order APIs. You retain complete discretionary control over your trading account.
Does a 95/100 score mean a 95% chance of winning?
Absolutely not. A numeric score of 95/100 measures how closely a setup matches our 7 objective rule-based technical factors. It is NOT a statistical probability of success. Even A+ trades can and do fail, which is why strict stop-loss placement and position sizing are mandatory.
What does 'No A+ Setups Qualified' mean?
When market conditions are choppy, volatile, or missing technical confluence, our engine intentionally displays zero qualified setups. Preserving capital during unfavorable regimes is the hallmark of professional trading.
What are the inherent risks of trading?
Trading equities, options, and futures involves substantial, unavoidable inherent risk of financial loss. No indicator or scoring system can eliminate market risk. Never trade money you cannot afford to lose. Read our full Regulatory & Financial Risk Disclaimer.
