NQ Enhanced Score

The NQ Enhanced Score (0-100) combines 9 confluence factors to objectively grade every trade setup from A+ to F. Learn how QGA calculates signal quality.

How the NQ Enhanced Score Works

Every signal generated by Quantum GradeA is evaluated using the NQ Enhanced Score (0-100). The score combines 9 weighted confluence factors including Pattern Confidence, Regime Alignment, Volume Profile, Confluence Zone, Session Timing, EMA Alignment, RSI Condition, MACD Momentum, and MTF Agreement. The final score determines the letter grade from A+ to F.

Execute with confidence - highest probability setups

Avoid B- and Below (74 or less)

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.
