Grading System

Confluence Scorecard

The 100-point grading system that objectively evaluates every trade setup. Learn how QGA scores each signal to identify A+ opportunities.

How the Scorecard Works

Every signal generated by Quantum GradeA is evaluated against a 100-point scale. The score is calculated by checking multiple confluence factors across 5 categories. Each factor adds points when present, creating an objective grade for every setup.

Trade When Score 70+

Only take setups graded B+ or higher

Avoid Below 70

C and low B grades indicate weak setups

Grade Ranges

A+
90-100 points

Highest probability setup - full position

A
80-89 points

High probability - standard position

B+
70-79 points

Good setup - reduced position size

B
60-69 points

Average setup - trade with caution

C
Below 60 points

Low probability - avoid trading

Critical Rule: A+ Setups Only

Through extensive backtesting and live trading, A+ setups on the 4H timeframe have proven to be the most consistent. An A+ setup typically includes clear higher-timeframe trend alignment, strong structural confirmation, multiple confluence factors, favorable risk-to-reward profile, and high confidence grading. Wait for these setups and ignore marginal conditions.
