Multi Hour
Model.
0.5-2 session conviction window (~12h avg hold). A band-breach engine — same edge as Day Trade, slower — fed by an asymmetric EWMA band and four conviction overlays. 262 signals 2026 YTD, 71.4% win rate, +404% raw P&L, 89% win on Grade A+B. Cryptographically timestamped at release.
Grade A+B win rate, 2026 YTD. Closes at 89% on the 262-signal book · +18pp vs all-grade base of 71.4%.
The breach is the signal.
The overlay is the conviction.
Multi Hour catches the same band breaches as Day Trade but holds them for hours instead of closing same-session. The engine uses an asymmetric EWMA band — KL=1.45σ down, KU=1.52σ up, because markets crash faster than they rally. Four conviction overlays — Peak, High, Scaled, Workhorse — score multi-timeframe agreement, volume profile, cross-asset confluence, and regime alignment. Best edge sits on dislocations driven by positioning, not news.
Above: a stylised price action against the EWMA band. The dotted channel is the asymmetric band (KL=1.45σ, KU=1.52σ). The amber box is the breach event — first cross of upper or lower edge per side per session. The entry circle is the published entry; the green line is the exit target; the red line is the stop. Hold is 0.5-2 sessions, not same-session.
EWMA Band Engine
Per-instrument 21-day half-life EWMA band, recomputed every minute. Asymmetric KL=1.45σ, KU=1.52σ. First breach per side per session is a candidate signal.
4 Conviction Overlays
Each breach is scored by four overlays: Peak (multi-TF agreement), High (volume profile), Scaled (cross-asset confluence), Workhorse (regime alignment). Sum drives the grade.
Grade Permanent At Entry
Conviction grade A–E is set at the moment of entry and does not change in flight. Grade A requires ≥4.50% avg/trade with three or more overlays firing.
Returns Are Raw
Every figure is reported raw and unweighted — no portfolio sizing, no fees baked in. +404% YTD across 262 signals. Reconciled annually by AuditedTrader.

Wins are larger than losses.
The grade means what it says.
For each grade, the model declares an expected win-rate band at entry. Below: actual closed-rate vs band. All five grades land inside their declared bands over the rolling 12-month window — the model is well-calibrated.
The model spends most time at new highs.

Five inputs. One verdict.
The Multi Hour engine fires on a band breach — but every raw breach is scored by four conviction overlays before publication. The grade encodes how many overlays agree and how cleanly. The breach gets you to the trade. The overlays get you to the grade.
EWMA Breach
First cross of upper or lower edge per side per session. KL=1.45σ, KU=1.52σ asymmetric. Pure mechanics.
Peak · High · Scaled · Workhorse
Four conviction overlays score multi-TF, volume, cross-asset, regime. Each breach gets a score. Quant scoring.
Conviction A–E
Alignment determines grade. A is full agreement. E is marginal. Permanent at entry.
// What it does
Band-breach detection on the asymmetric EWMA band. The same edge as Day Trade, held for 0.5-2 sessions instead of closed same-session. Best edge on dislocations driven by positioning, not news.
// How it grades
Conviction A–E by overlay agreement. Grade A requires three+ overlays firing and ≥4.50% avg expectation; Grade E is speculative. Grade is permanent at entry.
// How returns are reported
Returns reported raw and unweighted, before any portfolio sizing rules. Audited annually by AuditedTrader.

Honest about the edge. Honest about the limits.
The Multi Hour Model has a defined operating envelope. Inside that envelope, it is the highest-volume engine in the VR family. Outside it, it is silent. Below: the explicit list of what the model claims and does not claim — written down, on the record.
Operating Envelope
- Asymmetric EWMA band-breach detection on ~30 instruments per session
- First cross per side per session · 0.5-2 session hold (~12h avg)
- Grading A through E by 4-overlay conviction, set at entry
- Long & short, 262 published signals 2026 YTD
- Returns reported raw and unweighted, before fees and slippage
- Cryptographically timestamped at the moment of publication
- Audited annually by AuditedTrader · 2020 — 2025
Out of Scope
- Calling tops or bottoms · the model does not predict reversals
- Working on news-driven gap moves · best edge on positioning dislocations
- Fee-adjusted or slippage-included returns · execution is yours
- A guarantee against drawdowns · max DD has reached 34% historically
- Performance during illiquid / halted markets · gap-risk excluded
- Any specific position sizing · sizing is a portfolio-level decision
- Investment advice · the model is a signal, not a recommendation
