INSTITUTIONAL CHARTER│VERSION 1.0 // OPEN ARCHITECTURE

MATHEMATICAL RIGOR OVER HYPERBOLE

ZERO LLM INFERENCE // ZERO BLACK-BOX PREDICTIONS // VERIFIABLE SEC & SOCIAL PROVENANCE

SECTION 01 // THE MANIFESTO

Why Day Trade Edge Exists

Retail trading tools have degraded into two extremes: noisy charting platforms that encourage overtrading, or black-box “AI stock-picking” bots that hallucinate price targets without accountability.

Day Trade Edge was built on a single premise: trade setups must be mathematically deterministic and bound to verified regulatory and market telemetry. If an edge cannot be proved with Form 4 insider transaction hashes, Form 8-K material event disclosures, verified liquidity volume, Olyth momentum heat, and defined statistical invalidation points, it does not qualify for publication.

SECTION 02 // CANDIDATE DISCOVERY ENGINE (THE 4-STREAM UNIVERSE)

Every morning at 8:35 AM ET, our ingestion pipeline dynamically scans four independent institutional and retail data feeds to construct a unified pre-market candidate pool of 80–120 equities:

After the open, a separate Intraday qualification engine begins at 9:45 AM ET and rescans every 15 minutes through the final eligible discovery window, normally 2:00 PM ET. Morning results do not grant or block Intraday admission: each live-session candidate must independently pass current liquidity, relative-volume, VWAP and momentum structure, trap and SEC checks, scoring, and minimum 1:2.5 Target 1 risk/reward geometry.

SECTION 03 // ARCHITECTURAL PILLARS
[01] ZERO LLM SCORING

Large Language Models do not calculate scores or pick tickers. Every Edge Score (0–100) is generated via strict algebraic formulas with zero non-deterministic variation.

[02] SEC FILING PROVENANCE

Setups require verified SEC EDGAR filings: Form 4 insider cluster purchases for Drift and Form 8-K material event disclosures for Volatility Expansion.

[03] PRE-BELL LEVEL CALIBRATION

Briefings release at 8:35 AM ET for advance prep, followed by an automated 9:25 AM Pre-Bell Calibration that locks exact trigger levels to late pre-market price action.

[04] MANDATORY POST-MORTEM

Every published setup is audited after the market close against 1-minute execution tape data to measure Maximum Favorable Excursion (MFE) and Realized R.

[05] INTRADAY LIFECYCLE CONTROL

Intraday publication is capped at five setups per session. Untriggered entries expire after 60 minutes, while triggered setups remain tracked through Target 2, invalidation, ambiguity, or the market close.

SECTION 04 // QUANTITATIVE ARCHETYPES

01. Institutional Drift Setup

SEC FORM 4 CLUSTER BUY

02. Volatility Expansion Setup

RVOL 2.0× + PRE-MKT GAP / 8-K

Captures explosive opening momentum driven by Form 8-K material disclosures, contract awards, Olyth momentum heat, or major fundamental news. Enters on 5-to-15 minute opening range breakouts with strict ATR-based stop loss placement.

03. Technical Mean Reversion Setup

RSI(14) ≤ 30 + SUPPORT HOLD
