THE INDICATORS

ClearPath is a three‑indicator framework designed to be used together, in order:

Environment Gauge → Trend Clarity → Momentum Pulse

Each indicator answers one question. None are intended to be used in isolation.

The ClearPath Sequence

THE ORDER MATTERS

Environment Gauge defines market regime (permission).
Trend Clarity confirms structural alignment (direction).
Momentum Pulse highlights permissioned impulses and exhaustion risk (timing and risk awareness).

If the framework is quiet, that is often the correct output.

Indicator 1 — Environment Gauge

Each indicator answers one distinct question, and they MUST be interpreted in order.

What environment are we in?

The Environment Gauge defines the dominant market regime:

Constructive — participation is conditionally favored
Neutral — uncertainty dominates (stand down by design)
Defensive — capital preservation is prioritized

The Environment is anchored to the Weekly timeframe and projected consistently to lower timeframes. Lower timeframes provide detail — not truth.

How to read it:

Color = regime.
Intensity = internal pressure.

The Environment Gauge defines the dominant market regime and establishes the risk context in which all decisions occur. It is anchored to the Weekly timeframe, then projected consistently onto lower timeframes to prevent regime whipsaw and context drift. The Environment does not respond to intraday price swings — by design. Its role is to provide stable permission, not responsiveness.

What it is

A regime framework: Constructive, Neutral, or Defensive
A risk‑context filter — not a timing tool
Stable and persistent by design

What it is not

A signal or entry indicator
A trend predictor
Something that flips intraday

A Weekly or Daily example showing regime stability across long stretches, with lower‑timeframe detail present but regime unchanged.

Indicator 2 — Trend Clarity

Is structure aligned?

Trend Clarity provides a single adaptive baseline that reflects structural alignment, not short‑term movement.

Up‑colored baseline → structure supports higher prices
Down‑colored baseline → structure supports lower prices
Neutral baseline → transition / consolidation

Trend Clarity is not a signal. It does not predict breakouts or reversals. It is designed to reduce noise and emotional overrides by keeping structure clear.

Learn More

Trend Clarity provides structural alignment, not urgency. It uses a single adaptive baseline to determine whether price structure supports directional bias within the current environment. Trend Clarity is intentionally conservative — it resists reacting to short‑term accelerations, isolated candles, and emotional price moves. This keeps structure clear when momentum becomes noisy.

What it is

A structural baseline
Directional context, not timing
Adaptive to market conditions without over‑reacting

What it is not

A buy or sell signal
A momentum oscillator
A fast‑reacting average or crossover

A trending market where price pulls back repeatedly without breaking structural alignment.

Indicator 3 — Momentum Pulse

Is this a favorable moment to act?

Momentum Pulse highlights thrust events only when conditions justify participation.

Green ▲ — permissible bullish impulse
Red ▼ — permissible bearish impulse
Yellow ● — exhaustion risk (caution, not a reversal call)

Momentum is intentionally event‑based, not continuous. Long stretches without pulses are expected and healthy.

Exhaustion warnings are a risk‑management cue:
a thrust occurred, but conditions blocked participation and price was already extended relative to structure.

Learn More

Momentum Pulse identifies thrust events, not continuous momentum. Pulses only appear when the Environment permits participation and structure aligns. Because of this gating, momentum signals are event‑based and infrequent. Yellow exhaustion warnings highlight moments where risk has increased due to extension — they are cautionary, not predictive.
