How to read the Formion screener
The screener is the heart of Formion: a single ranked list that fuses many independent signals into one score. Understanding that score is the difference between chasing noise and finding edge.
What the score actually is
Each row's score is a blend of inputs — trend strength across multiple horizons, momentum, pattern completion with its historical success-rate, order-flow and volume. No single indicator decides the rank; the score is high only when several agree. That's by design: confluence beats any one signal.
A high score is a starting point for research, not an order ticket. It tells you where to look first, not what to buy blindly.
Reading a row
- Symbol + logo — always paired, so you never misread a ticker.
- Score — the confluence rank described above.
- Trend columns — short / medium / long-term direction. Aligned trends are stronger setups.
- Signal chips — the specific events firing right now (breakout, momentum, oversold…).
Filtering to your style
The full list is broad on purpose. Narrow it:
- Mean-reversion trader? Look for oversold/extension signals against a stable range.
- Breakout trader? Filter to support/resistance breakouts with rising volume.
- Trend follower? Demand all three trend columns pointing the same way.
A simple daily workflow
- Sort by score, scan the top 15.
- Open the 2–3 that fit your style on the chart.
- Check the symbol in Trade-History — has a strategy traded it well before?
- Size the position with the risk rules from the Risk & Psychology track.
Do that consistently and the screener stops being a firehose and starts being a funnel.
