The Signal Engine

The Signal Engine takes real-time market data, breaks it into its underlying waves, then fuses them into a single, scored signal that helps surface emerging moves before they are obvious on the chart. The underlying mathematics work on any market signal, at any time scale.

FIG 0.1

Market price

We start from raw price data — every open, high, low, and close.

FIG 0.2

Decompose

Each price is pulled apart into the underlying waves that drive it.

FIG 0.3

AI model

Our model reads the waves — their strength, timing, and alignment.

FIG 0.4

Score the call

Those reads fuse into a single, scored UP or DOWN signal.

Five patents filed on the method.

The Signal Engine isn't a new coat of paint on old indicators — it's a genuinely different way to read markets.

  1. 01
    Spectral decomposition
    Breaking a live market signal into its underlying component waves.
