Layered Interpretation
The Pulse Method does not analyse the market as a single block. It separates behaviour into layers so that each dimension of structure becomes readable on its own — and even more powerful when combined.
Layered interpretation allows you to:
avoid analysing everything at once
avoid reacting to single-indicator impulses
understand conditions instead of isolated signals
see how behaviours align or diverge across the market
This is what makes Pulse engines intuitive: each layer expresses one type of information, and clarity emerges from their interaction rather than from any single element.
How Layered Interpretation Works
Pulse Mini uses three simplified layers:
Trend — Direction of Movement
This layer identifies whether the market is moving upward, downward, or losing direction. It establishes the broad environment in which all other behaviours occur.
Phase — Quality of Movement
Phase reflects whether the market is expanding, contracting, or transitioning. A clean expansion supports trend clarity; unstable phases signal caution.
Timing — Rhythm of Movement
Timing captures micro-structure and short-term behaviour. It confirms whether immediate momentum supports or contradicts the broader structure.
Each layer answers a different question:
Trend: “Where is the market going?”
Phase: “How is it moving?”
Timing: “Is the moment stable or unstable?”
Why Layers Matter
Relying on a single variable — a trend indicator, an oscillator, a volatility measure — makes interpretation fragile. Layers solve this by creating a structural hierarchy:
Trend provides context
Phase evaluates structure
Timing validates moment-to-moment behaviour
When these layers align, the market is usually clearer and more structured. When they diverge, noise increases, and Pulse naturally becomes more conservative.
Consistency across Engines
Layered interpretation is identical across the entire Pulse ecosystem:
Mini uses simplified layers
Essential expands structural depth
Pro multiplies resolution and intelligence
But the method — the way the market is read — never changes.
Pulse Mini is the first expression of this layered approach, delivered in its cleanest form.
