Radar Cycle

What is the Trend (Buy or Sell)

Updated over 2 months ago

Building on The Algo Cycle framework, this course moves from theory to tactical application.

Now that students understand a Stock Market Cycle and The Algo Cycle, this course teaches how to act on those insights through a structured, algorithm-assisted idea generation (Radar).

Radar spots opportunity only when the trend becomes oversold. Not sooner.

Key Lesson: Money Line qualifies when stocks appear on Radar.


Stage 1: Radar (Accumulation)

  • πŸ”΄ Red = Sell Mode = Downtrend

Purpose: Detect potential early reversals, before they are confirmed.

When the Money Line is red, the market is still technically bearish β€” but within that fear lies early opportunity.

Key Lesson: Radar identifies stocks that are oversold.


Stage 2: Alert (early Markup)

  • πŸ”΄ β†’ 🟒 (early attempt)

  • 🟒 Green = Buy Mode = Uptrend

Purpose: Generate high Risk-to-Reward Ideas, on Stocks attempting to go up.

When the Money Line is red, the market is still technically bearish β€” but within that fear lies early opportunity.

Key Lesson: Alerts are generated while a stock is oversold.


Stage 3: Order (early Markup)

  • πŸ”΄ β†’ 🟒 (early attempt)

  • 🟒 Green = Buy Mode = Uptrend

Purpose: Order high Risk-to-Reward Ideas, on Stocks attempting to go up.

When the Money Line is tested, the Trend is actively being challenged.

Key Lesson: Alerts are generated while a stock is oversold, but trying to go up.


Stage 3.1: Entry (early Markup)

  • πŸ”΄ β†’ 🟒 (early attempt)

  • 🟒 Green = Buy Mode = Uptrend

Purpose: Enter after the candle closes, above the alert price. We are early in the Markup stage; this is our early confirmation of an attempt at a reversal.

🟣 Whisper Alert

  • Oversold, and early in the Markup stage.

  • Higher Risk, Higher Reward.

Key Lesson: A Whisper Alert is in the early Markup stage. Take a half position.


Stage 4: Entry (Markup attempt)

  • πŸ”΄ β†’ 🟒 (attempt)

  • 🟒 Green = Buy Mode = Uptrend

Purpose: Enter after the candle closes, above the alert price. We are attempting the Markup stage; this is our confirmation of an attempt at a reversal.

πŸ”· Algo Alert

  • Oversold, and attempting the Markup stage (a Reversal).

  • High Risk, Higher Reward probability.

Key Lesson: An Algo Alert is attempting the Markup stage.


Stage 5: Trim (Distribution)

  • 🟒 Green = Buy Mode = Uptrend

Purpose: Manage the risk early in the reversal attempt by trimming into strength and realizing enough profit to offset a realized loss (if the balance of our shares goes to the stop loss).

Key Lesson: A Trim should happen as soon as possible. Once it does, our worst-case scenario is a scratch.


Stage 5.1: Target (Distribution)

  • 🟒 Green = Buy Mode = Uptrend

Purpose: Let our winner run, since we managed the risk early.

Exit balance of shares at the Pre-Determined Target.

Key Lesson: A Target is how we can achieve oversized returns and let our money work for us. We managed the risk; now let our winner run.


Stage 6: Exit (Mark Down)

  • 🟒 β†’ πŸ”΄

  • πŸ”΄ Red = Sell Mode = Downtrend

Purpose: Manage Risk during the entire trade.

Our stop loss order is attached to our entry order. Exit all shares if the Pre-Determined Stop is hit.

Key Lesson: An Exit is how we manage risk. It's okay to be wrong, not okay to stay wrong.

Rinse. Repeat.
