Long Strategies
The Long Strategies category includes real-time metrics specifically designed for evaluating long-only opportunities. These setups are not selected by the AI’s Alpha Strategy engine but still exhibit favorable structural characteristics such as clean upward paths, high risk/reward ratios, and defined targets and stops.
Each metric supports a different part of the evaluation workflow—reward asymmetry, zone clarity, expected duration, and technical levels. These signals are ideal for filtering strong bullish setups that meet specific structural conditions, even when they fall outside the AI’s current directional preference.
This group enables flexible scanning and custom strategy creation by offering visibility into high-quality long scenarios regardless of broader market signals. Start by filtering for setups with high Long Risk/Reward, narrow down using Path to Target and Estimated Days, and finalize using identified Target and Stop levels for planning entries, exits, or trailing logic.
Important: To see these metrics on charts, please select Long Strategy in chart settings.
Long - Risk/Reward
Ratio between expected reward and downside risk for long setups. Values of 2+ are highlighted as optimal setups. When no identified resistance areas are present, the value is +.
This metric helps surface long setups with strong asymmetry—where the potential upside significantly outweighs the downside. It is commonly used to rank or filter opportunities and supports strategy designs focused on reward efficiency and capital preservation.
Real-TimeCompact Name:
R/R Long
Long - Risk/Reward 1st
Ratio between the expected upside (reward) and downside (risk) for the first target in long setups, calculated using the first identified resistance level. Values above 1 are considered favorable.
This version provides a more conservative view, useful for earlier-stage setups or when evaluating nearer-term resistance zones. It can be used as a secondary filter to isolate setups with immediate structure and low entry friction.
Real-TimeCompact Name:
R/R0 Long
Long - Path to Target
Counts the number of resistance zones between the current price and the final target (RR) for the long setup. Multiple zones that are close together are counted as 1 zone. A lower count (typically fewer than 2 zones) implies fewer obstacles and a clearer route to the target.
This metric helps identify “clean path” long setups, useful for momentum, breakout, or trend-continuation strategies where uninterrupted movement is preferable. It is often combined with Risk/Reward filters for added structural confirmation.
Real-TimeCompact Name:
Path Long
Long - Estimated Days to Target
The projected number of days needed to reach the target area for long setups, based on historical and expected volatility.
This metric is helpful for matching setups to holding duration preferences, whether short-term swings or medium-term positions. It supports filtering and strategy design based on time exposure and expected speed of movement.
Real-TimeCompact Name:
Days to Target Long
Long - Target
Identified target area used for the long setup’s risk/reward calculation. If two targets are identified, T1 is the closer target (used in initial risk/reward), and T2 reflects the extended target used in the final risk/reward.
This provides visibility into both conservative and extended profit-taking areas, and is useful for planning staged exits, setting alerts, or creating multi-target automation.
Real-TimeCompact Name:
Target Long
Long - Stop
AI-defined stop level used for calculating downside risk in long setups. This stop zone is based on price structure and volatility.
It supports sizing, exit planning, and disciplined setup filtering—especially when combined with the other long metrics to ensure structural coherence.

Stop Long
