📖 Signal Cheat Sheet

What each badge means and what to do

Signal	What it means	Action
4H 👑 BULL	Primary trend up — the king TF is bull (confirmed by 1D)	BUY pullbacks / breakouts
4H 👑 BEAR	Primary trend down — the king TF is bear	AVOID calls — only consider puts if 1D also bear
4H 👑 NEUT	No clear trend — king TF is sideways	WAIT — no new position
GAP +X%	Stock opened higher than yesterday's close	Don't chase the open — BUY first pullback if volume holds
SWEEP (low)	Stop-hunt below recent lows, then reversed up on heavy volume — smart money triggered stops then BOUGHT aggressively	BUY — the dip was a trap; big buyers stepped in
SWEEP↑ (high)	Broke above prior 10-day HIGH and closed above — clean breakout sweep (took resistance liquidity and held)	BUY on retest of the broken level
FVG	Fair Value Gap — 3-bar imbalance, no overlap between bar-3 and bar-1; price often returns to fill it	BUY when price retests the gap zone with volume
DISP (up)	GREEN displacement — oversized up-candle (2× body, 2× vol). Aggressive institutional BUYING	MOMENTUM BUY — ride with tight stop, exit on first failed candle
DISP (down)	RED displacement — oversized down-candle (2× body, 2× vol). Aggressive institutional SELLING (your intuition)	AVOID longs — wait for reversal confirmation
💰 INSIDER BUY	Officers/directors bought shares in the last 14 days (Form 4)	Bullish context — adds confidence to a long setup
📉 DILUTION	Company filed S-1 / S-3 / 424B (new share issuance coming — supply ↑, price typically ↓)	AVOID new longs / take profit on existing position
