Every Helix signal is more than a buy/sell arrow — it's a transparent decision you can inspect.
Direction & confidence
Direction is the model's call (BUY / SELL / FLAT). Confidence is a calibrated probability — an ensemble of per-instrument classifiers votes, and their votes are blended into a probability you can compare across signals.
Confluence score
The confluence score (0–100) combines multiple independent factors so a trade only stands out when several agree. Typical factors include:
- Trend regime — is the broader trend up, down, or ranging?
- EMA structure — are moving averages aligned with the direction?
- Volatility context — ATR relative to price, to size and filter trades.
- Model vote — the ensemble's calibrated probability and agreement.
A high confluence score is not a guarantee. Signals are informational tools, not advice — see the Risk Disclosure.
The risk gate
Before any signal can become an order it must pass the risk engine. If it's blocked, the signal shows the reason (e.g. daily-loss limit, exposure cap, stale bar). Read How the risk engine works for the full picture.
