TITLE: Ghost Signal v3.7 - Trend Continuation & Mean Reversion System

================================================================================
FULL DESCRIPTION
================================================================================

Ghost Signal v3.7 is a complete trading system that combines two complementary
strategies to capture opportunities in both trending and mean-reverting markets.

------------------------------
STRATEGIES
------------------------------

GHOST - Trend Continuation
- Identifies high-quality pullbacks to the 20 EMA in confirmed trending markets
- Requires EMA stacking (20 > 50 > 200 for longs, inverted for shorts)
- Multi-timeframe alignment ensures you're trading with the bigger picture
- Quality gates filter out low-probability setups

REAPER - Mean Reversion
- Catches overextension at VWAP +/- 2 standard deviations
- Requires wick rejection (price tested extreme but rejected)
- Volume confirmation ensures institutional participation
- Works in any market condition

------------------------------
KEY FEATURES
------------------------------

Multi-Timeframe Alignment
- Daily, 4H, 1H, and 15m trend confirmation
- Weighted scoring system (Daily = 1.5, 4H = 1.0, 1H = 0.5, 15m = 0.25)
- Max score = 3.25 when all timeframes aligned
- Only trade when higher timeframes agree

Quality Gate System (GHOST)
- ADX >= 20 (trend must have strength)
- EMA spacing (trend is real, not bunched EMAs)
- RSI in healthy zone (25-65 for longs, 35-75 for shorts)
- Volume confirmation on entry
- VWAP alignment (above VWAP for longs)

Smart Filtering
- Time lockouts (avoid open auction, lunch chop, MOC)
- Daily signal limits (prevent overtrading)
- Signal cooldowns (no rapid-fire entries)
- Breakout confirmation (wait for momentum)

Professional Visuals
- Clean EMA ribbon (20/50/200)
- VWAP with standard deviation bands
- Regime background coloring
- Clear signal labels (GHOST/REAPER/PB)
- Real-time info panel with key metrics

Full Alert System
- Individual alerts for GHOST Long/Short
- Individual alerts for REAPER Long/Short
- Pullback setup alerts
- Combined "any signal" alerts

------------------------------
RECOMMENDED SETTINGS
------------------------------

Timeframe: 2-5 minute charts
Markets: Liquid stocks (TSLA, GOOG, NVDA, QQQ, ORCL, etc.)
Session: Regular trading hours (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET)

Best Performers (from backtesting):
- TSLA: +$672 (37 trades) - GHOST excels here
- GOOG: +$394 (16 trades) - Clean trends
- ORCL: +$271 (27 trades) - Consistent

------------------------------
HOW TO USE
------------------------------

1. Wait for regime background to show clear trend (green = bullish, red = bearish)
2. For GHOST: Wait for "PB" label, then "GHOST" label on breakout
3. For REAPER: Wait for "REAPER" label at band extremes
4. Check info panel: ADX > 20, MTF aligned, reasonable volume
5. Manage risk: Use ATR-based stops (2x ATR recommended)

Pro Tips:
- GHOST longs outperform GHOST shorts historically
- REAPER is more consistent across all symbols
- Avoid signals during lunch (11:30 AM - 1:00 PM)
- Best results in first 90 minutes of session
