Reversal Engine
The Reversal Engine scans 31 supported pairs across multiple timeframes for model classifications associated with momentum exhaustion, divergence, volume, and structural change. Each pair receives a 0–100 model score, directional label, and exhaustion type for retrospective comparison; these outputs do not establish probability, intent, or a trade setup.

What Does Reversal Detection Measure?
A modeled reversal is a classification for price and indicator conditions associated with a change in direction. It does not identify participants or explain why a move occurred.
The Reversal Engine compares multi-timeframe momentum divergence, liquidity-pattern labels, volume context, and structural readings. It scores how closely current inputs match the model criteria; the score is not a forecast.
Understanding the Reversal Score
Each pair in the Reversal Engine receives a score from 0 to 100 along with three key fields:
| Field | What it means | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Score (0–100) | How strongly current conditions match the model's reversal criteria | Compare scores across time and record whether subsequent data supported or contradicted the model reading. |
| Direction | The bullish or bearish direction assigned by the model | Treat it as a classification to review, not an instruction or forecast. |
| Phase | The modeled market phase: Accumulation, Distribution, or Transition | Compare the phase label with higher-timeframe structure and source data. |
| Exhaustion Type | The modeled pattern category: Momentum, Volume, or Structural | Use the category to understand which inputs contributed to the score; it does not establish reliability. |
Comparing Reversal With Kill Zones
The Reversal Engine can be compared with Kill Zone and Wyckoff context. A score, active window, or event label is a model observation; agreement does not establish a trigger, probability, or future direction.
- Record the model reading
Open the Reversal Engine and record the score, direction, phase, and exhaustion type for a selected pair. Treat the values as classifications rather than candidate filters.
- Compare session context
Review the reading alongside the configured Kill Zone status and document whether the labels agree or conflict.
- Compare price structure
Inspect the higher-timeframe structure and record whether it supports, contradicts, or provides no clear context for the model label.
- Review the hypothetical outcome
For paper study, compare subsequent candles with the documented exhaustion point and record alternative interpretations without converting levels into orders.
Trend Exhaustion vs. Genuine Reversal
Trend exhaustion is a necessary but not sufficient condition for a reversal. Every reversal starts with exhaustion, but not every exhaustion leads to a reversal — sometimes the trend resumes after a pause. The Reversal Engine helps you distinguish between the two:
| Signal | Likely outcome | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Score 60–74, single exhaustion type | A lower-range model classification | Compare with surrounding data |
| Score 75–84, two exhaustion types | An elevated model classification | Review assumptions and later candles |
| Score 85–100, three exhaustion types | A higher-range model classification | Do not infer probability or action |
| Score changes between scans | A changed model classification | Record what inputs changed |
Frequently asked questions
How many pairs does the Reversal Engine scan?
All 31 supported pairs on the platform — major and minor forex pairs, metals, indices, and commodities. The engine runs on 1H and 4H timeframes simultaneously. You can filter the pair list by score threshold, direction, or asset class.
How often does the reversal score update?
Scores update every 5 minutes on the 1H timeframe and every 15 minutes on 4H. A significant change in score (more than 15 points in one scan cycle) triggers an automatic notification if you have Alert Intel configured.
Is a score of 100 a guaranteed reversal?
No. A score of 100 means the displayed model inputs matched all criteria available to the engine. It is not certainty, probability, or evidence of intent; compare high-scoring and low-scoring examples retrospectively.
Can I use the Reversal Engine without a paid plan?
The Reversal Engine is available on the current Free access path as shown in-app. Eligibility and detail-view limits may change; eligible users can use the 24-hour Elite trial to evaluate the educational tool.
