The one rule. The cockpit is a co-pilot, not an autopilot. Every number below is context — it tells you which way the wind blows so you trade with it, not against it. You still decide, and the Trade Box still checks your entry. It never buys or sells for you.
Where price sits
This panel answers two questions for each instrument: where is price now, and where does the AI think it's going next. Here's one row, labelled:
Reading the range % (where price sits)
Cheap-to-expensive on a 20-day ruler:
Near the top (75%+): stretched up. Buyers here are late — a pullback is easier. Prefer buying a dip, not chasing.
Near the bottom (25%−): stretched down. Sellers are late — a bounce is easier. Prefer selling a rally, not chasing the fall.
In the middle: no stretch. The range gives no edge — lean on the other signals.
Reading the Kronos % (the AI's forecast)
The percentage is the chance price is UP by the end of that horizon:
Two horizons on purpose: K·2h is your quick / scalp view; K·6h is the bigger-picture / swing view. Both pointing the same way = more trustworthy. When they disagree (like NAS100 above — up soon, down later), expect chop: a pop then fade.
Putting the two together
The range tells you if price is stretched; Kronos tells you the lean. Together:
⚠ One honest caution about Kronos
It's a brand-new model on your desk and reads from a small sample, so a single number can be jumpy — ↑67% one refresh, ↓40% the next. Trust the direction it holds across a few refreshes, not one snapshot. Every forecast is being logged against what price actually did — in a couple of weeks you'll know if it's worth trusting. Until then: a helper, not a boss.
Drivers — the "weather"
The Drivers panel reads the outside market for each instrument — for NAS100 that's chip stocks, big tech, bond yields, the fear index (VIX), the dollar — and boils them into one score.
Use it as the tie-breaker: with the weather it's easier; against it, you need a very good reason.
Before any trade — 3 quick questions
All three agree → your best setups, full conviction. One conflicts → smaller size or wait. Two conflict → skip it. Then the Trade Box still checks your R:R and daily rules — the final gate.
Quick cheat-sheet
| You see | It means |
|---|---|
| 99% of 20d | Price at 99% of its 20-day range — stretched near the top. |
| K·2h ↑ 67% | AI, 2h ahead: 67% chance up. A real up lean. |
| K·6h ↓ 8% | AI, 6h ahead: only 8% up = 92% down. Strong down lean. |
| K·2h ~ 50% | Coin flip — no edge. Ignore. |
| stale | Forecast is old (feed hiccup) — don't rely on it until it refreshes. |
| ▲ BUY +19 · ● CONFIRMED | Outside market favours buys, and price agrees. Wind behind longs. |
| ✕ DIVERGING | Price and drivers fight — fragile, reversal risk. |
