- Shorts/longs at < 15% range require ADX > 18 AND volume > 1.2x
- OR RSI < 35 for shorts, RSI > 60 for longs
- Increased penalty from -10 to -15 when conditions not met
- Changed threshold from < 5% to < 15% to catch more edge cases
Test results:
- Big loser (01:35): ADX 16.1, price 9.3% → Score 60 (was 90) → BLOCKED
- Today's signal (10:05): ADX 17.3, price 0.9% → Score 55 (was 85) → BLOCKED
Rationale: False breakdowns in choppy ranges (ADX < 18) cause losses.
Tradeoff: May block some profitable breakdowns, but prevents chop losses.
