Markets don’t move randomly. They move in regimes—trending, ranging, volatile, dead. If your strategy isn’t regime-aware, your edge is inconsistent at best.

How to Align With Market Context

  1. Identify the current regime before trading.Use ATR, structure breaks, and volume shifts as clues.

  2. Tag your trade results by regime.Some setups thrive in trends. Others die in chop. Know which is which.

  3. Avoid forcing trades when your system is misaligned.Sit out or reduce size. Survive the bad environments.

Trade the Context, Not Just the Setup

Your setup doesn’t exist in a vacuum. We help traders embed regime filters into their strategies—for cleaner decisions and higher confidence.
