EdgityCore – Trade Scoring Methodology

The Starting Point

Each EdgityCore Indicator uses its own strategy to detect and confirm trading setups.

Depending on the strategy, the evaluation may start from a retested reference level, from the entry associated with a confirmed signal displayed on the chart, or from another strategy-defined entry point.

Once the entry is established, EdgityCore applies the shared trade-evaluation model using the configured stop loss distance, Risk Mitigation Level (RML), take-profit levels, and optional trailing stop.

SL Hit — The Trade Is a Loss

After entry, the Indicator evaluates each subsequent candle against the trade-management levels.

For a long trade, price movement below entry is evaluated against the stop loss. For a short trade, price movement above entry is evaluated against the stop loss.

• If the stop loss is reached before the trade progresses to the Risk Mitigation Level, the trade is recorded as an SL outcome.
• The SL counter increases and the trade contributes a full stop-loss result to the performance statistics.

RML — Risk Mitigation

The Risk Mitigation Level (RML) is the first protective milestone in the EdgityCore trade-evaluation model.

When price reaches the configured RML, the trade has progressed far enough in the expected direction for the evaluation model to protect the entry level.

• If price subsequently returns to entry before reaching a higher target, the trade is evaluated as a breakeven RML outcome.
• The trade contributes 0 Net Points rather than a full stop-loss result.
• If price continues in the expected direction, evaluation continues toward the configured take-profit levels or trailing-stop exit.

TP Hits — The Trade Progresses

EdgityCore can evaluate up to five take-profit levels, each calculated from the configured risk/reward structure.

As price progresses in the expected direction, the Indicator tracks the target levels reached by the trade.

• TP1 through TP5 represent progressively higher potential outcomes.
• The highest qualifying TP outcome reached during the evaluation determines the corresponding fixed-target result.
• TP outcomes are recorded separately in the statistics panel so the historical distribution of trade progression can be analysed.

Trailing Stop Exit

If trailing stop is enabled, the trailing mechanism becomes active when price reaches the configured activation level.

• Once active, the trailing stop follows favourable price movement according to the configured trailing settings.
• If price subsequently reverses and reaches the active trailing stop, a Trail Exit is recorded.
• Trail Exits are tracked separately from fixed TP outcomes.
• The locked-in result at the trailing exit is used by the statistics engine when calculating the trade's performance.

Pending — The Trade Is Not Yet Resolved

A detected signal does not automatically become a win or a loss.

If the available price history has not yet produced a final outcome under the active evaluation rules, the trade remains Pending.

Pending trades are kept separate from resolved outcomes so unfinished setups do not artificially increase either the win or loss count.

End of Day Rule

When End-of-Day evaluation is enabled, trade evaluation is limited by the end of the relevant trading day.

• If the trade has already produced a qualifying outcome during the evaluation period, that outcome is retained.
• If the setup remains unresolved when evaluation ends, it remains classified according to the EdgityCore outcome model rather than being automatically converted into a win or loss.

One Scoring Framework Across EdgityCore

The EdgityCore Indicator family contains different trading methodologies. A breakout-and-retest strategy, moving-average crossover, momentum setup, order block, wick rejection, or another strategy may therefore use different rules to detect a signal and establish its entry.

What remains consistent is the evaluation framework applied after that strategy-defined entry:

Entry → SL / RML → TP Progression → Optional Trail Exit → Final Outcome

This common scoring model allows the statistics produced by each Indicator to follow the same EdgityCore performance-analysis principles while preserving the distinct trading methodology of each strategy.
