✦ Most panels answer one question. A pullback trade asks three: is there a trend, is this a pullback inside it, and has the pullback finished.
One measurement taken over two lengths, on one statistical scale — a thick TREND line for the tide, a thin SWING line for the wave — with the pullback filled as a pocket and one closed-bar signal, the RESUME, on the bar the pocket closes.
◆ What the panel reads
▸ TREND latches on at one sigma and stays on until the close crosses its own average — a state, not a line that flickers
▸ PULLBACK fills as a pocket in the trend’s own color; RANGING steps the panel back to neutral and draws the range’s two rails on price
▸ RESUME — one per leg, confirmed on the next close, graded PRIME, STANDARD or MINOR
▸ Every resume is drawn on price as a shelf at its HOLD level: the pullback’s own extreme, the price that says it did not hold
One sigma is one sigma on every instrument, timeframe and bar type, so there is no threshold to tune. It reads the state of the market and marks a precisely defined event — it is not a forecast. The panel’s Y-axis locks, so a chart drag can never push the reading off its own scale.
Closed-bar decisions throughout — it does not repaint.
