1. What EDGEwise is (and isn't)

EDGEwise is an institutional-grade decision-support platform. It analyses every market with a stack of technical + Smart-Money methods and tells you what to consider trading, when, and with what risk levels. You place every trade yourself — EDGEwise never trades for you and never moves money.

It runs online 24/7, so the scanning, signals and alerts keep working around the clock even when your own devices are off. There's nothing to install — you use it in any browser on your phone or computer.

2. Membership & what each tier unlocks

Pro members get read-only access to the analysis. Settings and trade execution stay with the account owner — your view is always safe.

3. The Terminal (cards)

Each card is one asset on the selected timeframe (1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1H, 4H, Daily, Monthly). It shows live price, RSI, the trend, and the headline signal with the confluence-score bar. Cards are grouped into Indices, Currencies, Commodities and Crypto. Click a card to open the full detail view.

👁 My View lets you hide assets you don't follow, for a cleaner board (your choice is saved on your device only). 🔍 Explore any market (Pro) opens a live, fully-analysed chart for any of the broker's 1,900+ symbols — even ones not on the Terminal — without adding them to your board. Great for checking a one-off idea. The ● LIVE badge on a chart turns to ● closed automatically when that market is shut for the weekend (crypto stays live 24/7).

4. The Signal: Score, Conviction & Confidence

Confluence score (up to ±12)

The core number. EDGEwise weighs a full stack of institutional methods; each that agrees pushes the score bullish (+) or bearish (−), capped at ±12. The more methods that stack the same way, the higher the score — and the stronger the setup. The methods in the stack:

The exact weighting each method carries is EDGEwise's proprietary edge — what matters for you is the transparent Confluence panel on every signal, which lists each contributing reason so you always see why it fired.

Signal & conviction

• BUY when the score clears the quality bar   SELL when it clears it to the downside   WAIT otherwise — no forced trades.
• Conviction: HIGH (strong stacked score), MODERATE (consider half size), LOW (stand aside). The higher the conviction, the more methods are aligned.

Confidence % (a separate meter)

An estimate of edge quality, blending: the asset's backtest profit factor, higher-timeframe alignment, volume, room to the next support/resistance, and news risk. A high score with low confidence means the indicators agree right now, but the broader context is only average — treat it as a smaller-size trade. The Confluence panel lists every reason with its ± points so you always see why a signal fired.

5. The setups the engine trades

Every signal is classified into one of ten proprietary EDGEwise setup types, so you always know what kind of trade it is — and each type carries its own live, verified track record (see §10). The exact detection logic behind each setup is EDGEwise IP; here is the character of each:

Each setup is scored on a stack of confluences (trend, structure, momentum, location and higher-timeframe context) and only the highest-conviction alignments become signals. Setup codes appear on every alert, email and Telegram signal.

6. Why the engine is selective (the quality filters)

EDGEwise doesn't fire on every wiggle. Before a setup becomes a signal it must survive a stack of institutional filters — this is why the signals you receive are high-quality and why you'll often see WAIT rather than a forced trade.

7. Trade Plan

For any BUY/SELL it builds a concrete, risk-defined plan:

• Entry — current market price at signal time.
• Stop-loss — just beyond the nearest protective swing (structure); falls back to an ATR multiple.
• Take-profit — the next support/resistance if ≥1R away, else the tuned reward:risk multiple.
• R:R meter — visual risk vs reward.
• Position size — computed from your account balance × Risk %, so each trade risks a fixed amount.
• ½-Kelly suggestion — a risk % derived from the proven edge (¼-Kelly if the edge is weak out-of-sample; capped at 2%).
• HTF conflict banner — warns when the setup fights the higher timeframe.
• Log This Trade — saves the setup + your reason to the journal.
• Backtest This Setup — opens the deep backtest pre-filled for this asset/timeframe.

8. Chart & Layers

The detail view has a candlestick chart (with an EMA200-correct warm-up), a synced RSI sub-panel with an auto trendline, and toggleable layers:

9. Backtesting

Tests the strategy on real history with no look-ahead (enters next bar, ATR stop, reward:risk target).

Robustness tools

• Walk-forward: every result is validated on unseen data; "robust ✓/✗" flags whether the edge held (✗ = likely overfit).
• Monte Carlo: shuffles trades 400× to show the range of possible equity outcomes.
• Parameter sweep: a heatmap of profit factor across RR × ATR; a green plateau = robust, one lucky cell = fragile.
• Export the full trade log to CSV.

10. Live Track Record & Journal

The tracker logs every alert-grade signal the moment it fires and follows it forward (ATR stop, 2R target) to build a real record over time — this is the truth meter for the strategy. Each row shows when the trade opened and closed, the asset, timeframe, direction, entry, stop-loss, targets and the result in R; export it to CSV. The Journal ("Log This Trade") stores your own trades with notes.

11. Alerts, Email & Telegram Signals

Alerts fire only on fresh, high-quality setups, include the full Entry / SL / TP / R:R, and have a cooldown so the same setup can't spam you. They reach you three ways:

• 🔔 In-app — instant pop-up + sound alerts on the Terminal.
• 📧 Email — a formatted signal (with chart) plus the weekly performance report, delivered to your inbox.
• 📨 Telegram — the fastest channel. Confirmed signals, forming early-warnings and scalp alerts land on your phone the instant they fire.

The two Telegram channels: the public channel posts a teaser of every confirmed signal (direction + confidence score, with the exact levels locked) plus a 🎯 celebration when a target is hit — this is the shop window. The private PRO channel delivers the full signal: entry, stop-loss, three targets, forming alerts, scalp signals and the setup reasoning. A weekly performance report (PDF) posts to both channels and email every Saturday.

12. Best Time & Multi-Timeframe

Best Time to Trade shows the hours this asset is most volatile (your local time) with the London/NY sessions highlighted. Multi-Timeframe Confluence shows the signal on every timeframe at once, so you can see whether they agree before committing.
