Trend Reversal Audit
A specialized inspection register designed to document structural swing lows, market structure shifts, and boundary violations. It eliminates hopeful bottom-fishing by enforcing predetermined failure limits and strict purging timetables.
Reversal Verification Parameters & Thresholds
Directional turnarounds are prone to emotional attachment. This table establishes the explicit numerical criteria required before an observation is confirmed, preventing subjective assumptions from lingering across daily watchlists.
| Parameter | Specification / Verification Value |
|---|---|
| Structure Break Type | Higher-High Daily Close above 20-Day Swing High |
| Base Duration Minimum | 15 Trading Days in defined lateral consolidation band |
| Volume Confirmation Factor | Relative Volume (RVOL) ≥ 1.6x 50-Day Moving Average |
| Validation Review Horizon | Fixed 5-Day verification window post-breakout |
| Hard Invalidation Boundary | Decisive close below documented structural trough low |
| Purge Escalation Rule | Immediate list ejection upon invalidation trigger |
Executing Reversal Hygiene in Active Screeners
Market observers frequently fall prey to premature turnaround declarations when reviewing oversold assets. The Trend Reversal Audit introduces an objective documentation barrier. Every candidate must possess a verifiable change in market structure, such as breaking the most recent lower high, rather than just reaching an extreme oscillator reading. You record the specific price level where this structural shift occurred right in the ledger note.
Maintaining active lists demands equal attention to downside safety. The ledger requires setting an unambiguous invalidation price: the lowest point of the preceding accumulation base. If price violates this benchmark on a closing basis, the hypothesis collapses. Rather than re-analyzing the breakdown or adjusting parameters, the protocol commands an immediate purge from the observation list.
- Catalog the confirmed pivot high that confirms shift in market character.
- Timestamp an explicit 5-day review milestone to inspect holding volume.
- Purge ticker immediately if the documented pivot low is compromised.
