Confidence Grading System
How QSA scores every setup from 0-100
Grade Tiers
Exceptional domain diversity — signals span 4+ unique scanner categories (momentum, structure, smart money, etc.) with high rarity multipliers. These setups have the deepest cross-domain confirmation available.
Strong setups with 3+ categories confirming. Solid domain diversity with meaningful rarity bonuses from smart money or regime signals contributing to the score.
Decent setups worth monitoring. Signals detected from 2-3 categories but lacking the depth of diversity needed for higher conviction. Core pattern is present.
Early-stage or single-category setups. The pattern has been detected but lacks cross-domain confirmation. Worth watching, not acting on alone.
Scoring Components
Every setup is evaluated using domain-diversity scoring with rarity multipliers. The raw score is normalized via sqrt scaling: √(rawScore / 75) × 100.
Domain Diversity
The foundation of conviction scoring. Each unique scanner category (momentum, structure, smart money, regime, mean reversion, volatility) that fires on the same coin earns diminishing points: 15, 12, 9, 6, 3, 1 per additional category. Having 4 diverse categories fires is far more meaningful than 4 signals in the same category.
Category Rarity
Not all categories are equal. Rare, harder-to-trigger categories earn rarity multipliers: smart_money 2.5x, regime 2.0x, structure 1.8x, mean_reversion 1.5x, momentum 1.2x, volatility 0.5x. A smart money signal contributing to your domain score is worth 2.5x a volatility signal.
Scanner Base Score
Each scanner has a base conviction contribution based on its historical reliability and signal quality. Higher-performing scanners like Momentum Ignition or Whale Tracker contribute more base points than simpler volatility scanners.
Grade Bonus
The scanner's internal confidence grade (A through D) adds bonus points. An A-grade signal from a scanner adds 8 points, while a D-grade signal adds only 2. This rewards scanners that fire with high internal confidence.
Regime Alignment
Market regime (QUIET, NORMAL, CHAOS) affects scoring. Breakout scanners score higher in QUIET regimes where compression precedes expansion. Mean reversion thrives in NORMAL. CHAOS applies a penalty. Full alignment adds up to 8 points.
Volume & Timeframe
Volume above average adds conviction (up to 5 points at 2x+ volume). Higher timeframes (4h, 1D) contribute more conviction than lower timeframes (5m, 15m), adding up to 5 additional points.
Bias & Freshness
Alignment with BTC's daily trend adds up to 5 points. Recent signals score higher than stale ones, with a freshness bonus of up to 3 points for signals detected in the current scan cycle.
Bearish Subtraction
Opposing signals subtract from the total score. If a coin has strong LONG signals but also SHORT signals firing, the bearish signals reduce conviction. This prevents inflated scores when the picture is mixed.
Final score = √(rawScore / 75) × 100 → capped at 100
What a Grade Is NOT
- xNot a price prediction. An S grade does not mean the price will move in the indicated direction.
- xNot financial advice. QSA is an analytical tool. It does not recommend opening LONG or SHORT positions.
- xNot a guarantee. Even S-tier setups can and do fail. Grades reflect pattern quality, not outcome certainty.
- xNot an entry signal. A high grade means multiple factors align, but timing, risk management, and position sizing remain your responsibility.
