TreVmS Alpha

An alpha is a market state X after which an event Y happens noticeably more often than usual: P(Y|X) beats the base rate by at least 5 pp out of sample. Alphas are found with Labs models and shown right on the Terminal chart.
Anatomy

Three parts and one comparison.

Every alpha is fixed as a condition, a target and a horizon before it is tested. It is published only if the target is hit more often after the condition than without it.

Example
XCondition

RSI(14) < 30 and funding < 0

YTarget

Return > 0

HHorizon

8 hours

P(Y | X) = 61.1%
P(Y) = 50.8%
edge = +10.3 pp ≥ 5

Base 50.8%+10.3 ppAfter X 61.1%
Catalog

Published alphas

The first alphas are in validation

Candidates are searched on Labs models: the liquidation map with exposure history, order flow, OI and Monte Carlo. Only those holding an edge of 5 pp or more out of sample will appear here. The format is shown below on examples.

+1% touch with buying flow

Monte Carlo gives a high chance of touching +1% and CVD confirms buying: the level is reached more often than the model alone predicts.

Terminal

The alpha where you watch price.

In Terminal alphas are a toggle above the chart. A fire is marked on its bar, the expected zone runs to the end of the horizon, and the card beside it says how much better than the base rate the condition is and how many times it was tested.

Marker

The bar where condition X became true.

Zone

Interquartile range of returns after past fires, until the horizon ends.

Label

Target, horizon, hit rate against the base rate.
