Add price confirmation workflow for signal-based intraday trading

Overview

• Introduces a price confirmation concept for intraday/day trading workflows so signals are not acted on immediately.
• The core behavior is to wait for the market to respect the signal before entering:
• For a sell signal, confirm by breaking below the previous bar low.
• For a buy signal, confirm by breaking above the previous bar high.
• Helps filter out weak or premature signals and encourages more patient trade selection.
• Demonstrates how the signal indicator can be paired with additional visual context, including:
• Color Bars turning red/blue/black to help identify trend continuation or weakening momentum.
• Trailing-stop management once the trend begins to fade or reverse.
• Reinforces that the trader still needs to manage:
• position size
• stops
• targets
• trade exits
• Includes a practical example on a 10-minute Nasdaq futures chart showing both a failed signal without confirmation and a successful trade after confirmation.

Assumptions

• The PR is intended to document or implement the trading rule described in the Loom rather than change exchange/order-routing logic.
• Signal generation already exists; this change adds a confirmation step before a trade is considered valid.
• The previous bar high/low is the intended confirmation reference for both long and short setups.
• Color Bars are used as a discretionary visual aid and not as a hard entry/exit requirement.
• This workflow is meant for educational or discretionary trading use and does not guarantee profitability.

June Crude Oil

June Crude Oil has resumed its rally into a new high. If the chart can sustain further strength, the low percentage fourth upside PriceCount objective would project a possible run to the $121 area.

The PriceCount study is a tool that can help to project the distance of a move in price. The counts are not intended to be an ‘exact’ science but rather offer a target area for the four objectives which are based off the first leg of a move with each subsequent count having a smaller percentage of being achieved.

It is normal for the chart to react by correcting or consolidating at an objective and then either resuming its move or reversing trend. Best utilized in conjunction with other technical tools, PriceCounts offer one more way to analyze charts and help to manage your positions and risk.
