The Science Behind Every Signal

AURUM runs a three-phase scoring pipeline combining classical technical signals, 9 intelligence layers, and 14 macro + ML modules — plus institutional alpha bundles for a total of 95 layers. Every signal is validated against an adaptive threshold and Monte Carlo probability bounds before delivery.

Phase 1

Technical Foundation

Baseline scoring on daily OHLCV produces a 0–100 raw technical score. Only setups that clear the foundational quality filter advance.

SMA crossover (20/50)
RSI levels (14-period)
Volume ratio vs 20-day average
Break of structure (BOS)
Change of character (CHoCH)
Fair value gaps (FVG)

28 Additional Alpha Layers

Beyond the 24 core pipeline layers, AURUM runs 28 additional institutional-grade alpha modules — the dealer-flow, macro, and liquidity signals retail platforms don't touch.

  • · Dollar volume imbalance
  • · Liquidity absorption detection
  • · Footprint delta divergence
  • · Order flow exhaustion
  • · Block trade imprint

Five Learning Loops Running Continuously

Every threshold, weight, and causal assumption is learned from live outcomes — not hardcoded, not backtested on synthetic data.

Kalman-Filtered Thresholds
Every 6 hours

Per-asset online Bayesian updates. Thresholds tighten or loosen automatically from live signal outcomes — no hardcoded cutoffs.

Page-Hinkley Drift Detection
Every 6 hours

Statistical test on rolling win rate. When an asset class diverges from its baseline distribution, AURUM auto-pauses signals until performance re-stabilizes.

Per-Regime Routing
Nightly

Separate threshold + factor-weight sets for TRENDING, RANGING, and VOLATILE regimes. The engine learns which factors matter when.

Granger Causality Testing
Twice daily

Formal statistical lead-lag analysis on cross-asset pairs (DXY→Gold, VIX→SPY, BTC→ETH). Replaces hardcoded cascade assumptions with evidence.

Logistic Regression on Live Outcomes
Nightly

Per-layer weight calibration from realized wins and losses — not synthetic backtests. The system learns from what actually happened.

The system improves with every closed signal.

Ten Archetypes, Automatically Classified

Each signal is tagged with its trade archetype before delivery — so you know the hold window and exit mechanics up front.

SWING
Hold: 5–12 days

Default trade type when no specialized trigger fires

REVERSAL
Hold: 3–6 days

RSI extreme + order block alignment at structural level

BREAKOUT
Hold: 4–8 days

Structure break + volume > 1.4× 20-day average

MEAN_REVERSION
Hold: 2–5 days

FVG present, no break, RSI in 40–65 range

SCALP
Hold: Intraday

Peak-liquidity sessions only; tight R:R ≥ 2.0 required

DAY_TRADE
Hold: Intraday

Session-aware setups during active market hours

PEAD
Hold: 2–5 days

Post-earnings announcement drift on 20 large-cap equities

GAP_FILL
Hold: Intraday

NYSE open gap reversion on qualified US equities

SOCIAL_MOMENTUM
Hold: 2–7 days

Social sentiment cascade on retail-driven tickers

OPTIONS
Hold: Strategy-dependent

The Same Rigor, Applied to Sports

Sports runs its own ten-stage pipeline — substrate ingestion to CLV settlement — emitting an AURUM Composite Score with seven named drivers and an Anti-Fragility 4-gate contrarian cascade.

01
Substrate Ingestion

SDIO multi-league box scores, SGO sportsbook lines (open + close + live), official-API depth charts, weather, injuries.

02
Projection Engine

Per-player + team projections from rolling form, schedule density, opponent matchup, and lineup state.

03
5 Contextual Overlays

Schedule density · Rotation stress · Environment impact · Phase fragility · Series variance — each emits its own factor weight.

04
Devigging + EV

Multi-book consensus removes vig; EV strength scored against best line. Sharp money divergence detected per market.

05
AURUM Composite Score

7-driver attribution: EV strength, win-prob quality, devigging confidence, overlay context, variance penalty, substrate confidence, anti-fragility flag.

06
Anti-Fragility Cascade

4-gate contrarian filter: AURUM disagrees with herding consensus AND favored team has structural fragility. When it fires, conviction is high.

07
Variance Stripe Classifier

Picks tagged STEADY_EDGE / HIGH_VARIANCE / CONTRARIAN — match selection to your bankroll temperament.

08
Tier Gate + Delivery

Grade C+ floor for BASIC, B+ for PRO, custom for ELITE. Telegram + Discord delivery with full driver breakdown.

09
PALD Lineup Builder

DFS classic optimizer with correlation copula, ownership leverage, and stack constraint solver. Pick-em slates filtered for + EV.

10
Settlement + CLV

Auto-grade vs final results, compute closing-line value, attribute alpha per overlay. Feeds back into the adaptive thresholds nightly.
