Each of the five trading signals is a right triangle. Drag the
threshold to see where the line between "ordinary rally" and
"rocket move" sits. Tap a signal to inspect its geometry.

Verdict |
What the geometry is telling you. Below the
threshold the rays sit in a shallow zone — ordinary rallies,
no particular reason to fade them. Above it the rays crowd into
the narrow remaining slice of the first quadrant. That crowding
is the rocket pattern: there is not much room left before
the slope reaches the vertical asymptote of tan θ
at 90°, where the tangent function blows up.
At the default 60° threshold (tan 60° = √3
≈ 1.732), two signals qualify. S4 is steeper
and uses less of the trading window getting there, leaving
more time for the feather descent to deliver the short profit.
