- Allow shorts at range bottom (<5%) with volume >1.2x OR RSI <40
- Allow longs at range bottom with volume >1.2x OR RSI >60
- Reduce ADX penalty from -15 to -5 when strong volume (>1.2x) present
- Reduce price position penalties from -15 to -10 (less harsh)
- Volume compensation recognizes breakdowns start before ADX strengthens
Test case (blocked signal that would have profited):
- OLD: ATR 0.32, ADX 17.3, RSI 32.5, Vol 1.27x, Price 0.9% → Score 45 (blocked)
- NEW: Same metrics → Score 85 (executes)
Rationale: Breakdowns continue lower, volume confirms conviction, ADX lags price action
