FrankenFlow is the apex signal layer of the Steely ELITE suite — a self-contained composite indicator that reads and synthesizes the full ELITE suite's analytical outputs into a single scored directional signal. Every signal is classified into one of five primary setup types and tracked through a PRIME/MINOR re-entry system. Additional pattern-based detectors provide supplemental context throughout the session. A live WPF HUD displays the full analytical state at all times.
Five Primary Setup Types
| Type | Market Condition |
|---|
| ORB BREAK | Opening range breakout with structural and directional alignment |
| VWAP PULL | Pullback to session VWAP with returning momentum |
| AMD BOUNCE | Structural extreme setup during the accumulation/distribution window |
| ORB REARM | Re-entry toward breakout direction after OR boundary retest |
| ORB FADE | Counter-trend fade at an extended OR break with exhaustion present |
Secondary Pattern Detectors
Four additional pattern-based detectors run alongside the scored engine, providing supplemental context throughout the session. Each operates independently with its own per-session controls.
- ▸
Break-and-Retest — identifies post-breakout structural retest opportunities
- ▸
Failed Breakout — identifies failed OR extension conditions
- ▸
OR Midline Test — identifies OR midpoint interaction setups
- ▸
OR Range Fade — identifies range-bound fade opportunities at OR boundaries
PRIME / MINOR System
- ▸
PRIME — first directional signal per session per direction
- ▸
MINOR — subsequent re-entry signals, capped per session with built-in cooldown
- ▸
Signals fire on confirmed bars — no repainting

How Traders Use It
The setup type classification matters as much as the signal direction — the same score in different market conditions calls for different expectations. Secondary pattern detectors provide additional context throughout the session beyond the initial scored signal. Use the live HUD to monitor the current directional state before acting, and let the setup type guide how you approach each signal.
