The market can produce more possible trades than any human can investigate properly. The useful question is not whether a setup exists. It is whether the setup deserves your attention, risk and capital.
That is the problem QuantWeaver Radar is designed around.
Two closely related parts of this decision are Why More Trading Signals Are Not Better: The Real Problem With Scanner Noise and MFE and MAE Explained: What Trade Geometry Reveals That P&L Hides.
1. What happened after similar candidates?
Historical outcome distributions matter more than one attractive example. How often did similar candidates resolve favourably, how large were the favourable moves, how deep were the adverse moves and how stable were those characteristics across time?
2. Is there enough economic room after costs?
A setup may look technically clean and still be too small to survive spread, commission and slippage. The remaining post-cost headroom determines whether the opportunity has room for real-world execution.
3. What is the risk-reward geometry?
The relationship between likely favourable movement and adverse movement matters. A high success rate with poor reward relative to risk may be less attractive than it appears. MFE and MAE help make this geometry visible.
4. What is the larger market context?
Higher-timeframe trend, volatility, session and market state can change how a mechanism behaves. Context should explain and qualify the opportunity without pretending to predict the future with certainty.
5. How long does resolution usually take?
An opportunity that takes hours and one that takes weeks can have identical headline expectancy and completely different usability. Time affects capital occupation, financing, monitoring burden and customer fit.
6. Where did similar setups fail?
A serious evidence card should show weakness, not only strength. Which conditions repeatedly produced poor outcomes? Did the opportunity become fragile during high volatility, specific sessions, structural breaks or deteriorating liquidity?
7. What would make you stay away?
This may be the most valuable question. Every opportunity should have conditions that invalidate or weaken the case. A research process that cannot say why it would reject a setup is closer to promotion than qualification.
Evidence before action
Radar Select is designed for people who want to review the evidence and keep the final decision. Radar Auto is designed for people who prefer approved opportunities to be executed systematically within defined controls. In both cases, the value begins before the trade: deciding whether the opportunity deserves to reach the customer at all.
