How Draco Trades

Every rule is discovered from experience, not pre-programmed. Draco evolves its trading framework based on what works and retires what doesn't.

The Conviction Framework

Every trade opportunity is scored across 5 dimensions. Total score determines conviction level: High (75+), Moderate (60-74), Low (<60).

Market RegimeMax 20

Is the market trending, ranging, or volatile? Trending markets favor momentum entries.

Setup QualityMax 25

How clean is the technical setup? Higher lows, defined swing structure, clear entries.

ConfluenceMax 25

How many signals align? Velocity + sector + structure = strong confluence.

Risk DefinitionMax 15

Is the stop loss well-defined? Clear swing lows, previous day levels.

Volume ConvictionMax 15

Is volume confirming? CVD direction, relative volume above average.
