Each indicator casts one vote: long (+1), neutral (0), or short (β1). Only the indicators enabled on the board are counted. Votes are summed and divided by how many are active, giving a normalized score between β1 and +1. A score at or above +0.30 reads long, at or below β0.30 reads short, and anything in between is neutral.
Volume doesn't point up or down on its own β a spike can accompany a rally or a sell-off. So instead of casting a vote, it scales confidence: a signal backed by above-average volume is marked strong, the same signal on thin volume is marked weak.
5-minute, 15-minute and 30-minute candles depend on how much intraday history the data provider has released so far β this fills in gradually as each trading day closes, so a newly tracked ticker may show no rows on those timeframes at first. Daily and weekly candles are unaffected.
