Deep-Dive Pillar Specializations

Each pillar isolates a testable intraday phenomenon with interactive calculators, empirical distributions across 245 AAPL sessions, and defined-risk execution rules.

PILLAR 01 09:30 – 10:15 AM ET · 5M BARS

Pattern Detection & Quant Screener

Quantifies the opening 45-minute daily anchor across 5-minute bar structures, filters multi-day relative volume climaxes (852 spikes studied), and scores institutional reversal wicks.
