Triggers
The trigger is the specific candle or event that says 'now' — it turns a watchlist setup into a live entry with a defined stop.
A trigger is the precise entry signal that fires once the other three signals are already aligned. It might be a reclaim of a level, a break of a micro consolidation, an engulfing candle, or an inside-bar breakout. The trigger exists to time the entry and define the stop so that risk is known before you click. No trigger, no trade — even when the setup looks perfect.

Triggers — FAQ
What is the difference between a setup and a trigger?
A setup is the context — structure, level, and momentum aligned on your watchlist. A trigger is the actual entry event (a candle close, a reclaim, a breakout) that turns that context into a position with a defined stop.
Why wait for a trigger at all?
The trigger times the entry and anchors the stop, which is what makes risk measurable. Entering before the trigger means guessing, and guessing has no repeatable edge.
