MoTrade Risk Framework

1MARKET SENTIMENT

You see:

🔴 Weak Bearish

It means:

The headline read — the standardized composite sorted into five risk-on / risk-off classes. Weak Bearish means the backdrop is leaning risk-off.

You do:

Your one-glance climate check — it lets you set risk to the room you're actually in before you commit, not after. Never a sell signal.

2RISK REGIME

You see:

⚠ Elevated

It means:

A non-directional line built from the size of the composite move — it flags when conditions are dislocated, not which way price goes.

You do:

Elevated is your cue to trade smaller — dislocated tape is where crowded trades reverse hardest and oversized bets get punished. Not a direction.

3Credit & Fear Matrix

You see:

▼ risk-off

It means:

One of the four pillars — high-yield bonds down and VIX up means credit stress and fear are rising.

You do:

It tells you WHICH stress is driving the room — so when credit and fear lead, you respect the downside instead of just the chart. Not a trade in itself.

4Σ SENTIMENT

You see:

−1.01 (Weak-Bearish band)

It means:

The composite number the class is derived from — negative is risk-off, and its size grades how far the backdrop is stretched.

You do:

The graded number saves you from binary thinking — a mild −1.01 says lean cautious, a deep −2 says the whole room is risk-off. Context, not a level to enter or exit at.

5Σ MOMENTUM

You see:

🟠 Bear Falling (+0.78)

It means:

Whether the current bull-or-bear read is intensifying or turning — the one-day change in the composite, not a new direction. Orange marks a turn either way.

You do:

Here it's a bearish read whose pressure just eased, not one that's deepening — still risk-off, but the day's move went the other way. A pace hint, not a reversal call.

6Data Health

You see:

8/8

It means:

How many of the eight live feeds are active. 8/8 is full reliability; fewer means some pillars are muted.

You do:

Check it first — it's your honesty gauge. Below 8/8 you trust the read less, instead of acting on a half-blind panel.

1Data source

You see:

REAL VOL (Footprint)

It means:

Where the volume comes from — real exchange volume, versus a broker tick proxy that the panel flags with a warning.

You do:

It tells you upfront whether the volume is real — so you don't build a decision on a tick proxy that only looks precise.

2Volume light

You see:

Vol:- — neutral / thin

It means:

The headline read of the last closed bar: does volume back the move. A dash means neither side confirmed — the bar is thin, low-participation.

You do:

A neutral read isn't a signal to fade or chase — it just means there's nothing here yet worth reading into. Context, not an entry trigger.

3RVOL(20)

You see:

0.82× (quiet)

It means:

Volume against its own 20-bar average. At or above 1.5× the bar is “in play”; well below, it's quiet.

You do:

It tells you how much a bar's move is worth trusting — quiet bars get less weight, so a big candle nobody traded doesn't fool you.

4Effort vs Result

You see:

normal

It means:

Compares the bar's range to its volume — a normal read means the two are in proportion; “exhaustion” would flag a large range on little volume.

You do:

A normal read has nothing to flag — no divergence between how far price moved and how much traded behind it. Context, not a call.

5Value Area (3 anchors)

You see:

POC 29240.0 · VA 29120.0–29310.0

It means:

The volume profile's Point of Control and Value Area, built from three session anchors — where volume has concentrated and price has been accepted.

You do:

It shows where price was actually accepted, so you frame decisions around real acceptance zones instead of round numbers. Not entry or target levels.

6RVOL trend (16)

You see:

Falling (volume fading)

It means:

A sparkline of relative volume over recent bars — rising means participation is building, falling means it's drying up.

You do:

The trend tells you if participation is building or drying up — so you know whether the tape is waking up or fading before you lean on it. Not timing.
