A cross that can vanish is not a signal.
Intraday, price crosses anchored VWAPs constantly — and un-crosses them an hour later. The reclaim model exists to separate noise from record: crosses are developing until the session settles, and once settled, they are permanent. That one rule changes what the data is worth.
Two layers, honestly labeled.
During market hours the developing layer refreshes every 15 minutes: crosses show with a developing marker, band positions update, and the board tells you plainly that today's verdict is not in yet. After the close, the settled layer takes over — the day's final sides are computed and any changes are written to an append-only cross history.
- Developing — early notice, clearly marked, allowed to revert.
- Settled — the close's verdict, permanent, never repainted.
- Append-only history — what the board said Tuesday is still what it says about Tuesday.
The confluence stack: a count, not a black box.
Not every reclaim deserves attention. Each settled cross is scored zero to three by three transparent checks: does the Smarter-MACD read agree with the direction, is Market Pulse in a constructive stage, and did price finish at least one full sigma onto its new side?
- 3/3 — the cross, the momentum, and the follow-through all agree.
- Filterable everywhere — the board, the brief, and alert rules all take a minimum stack.
- Auditable — each point is a named check you can verify on the chart.
Why anchored VWAP at all?
An anchored VWAP is the volume-weighted average price paid since a date that matters — the year open, a 52-week low, a swing pivot. It is the single fairest line for "who is in profit since then," which is why reclaims and losses of these lines so often mark the spots where control changes hands.
Standard math
Typical price, volume weighting, the textbook construction. Recompute any line yourself and it will match.
Meaningful anchors
Session, week, month, quarter, year, 52-week extremes, and pivots — dates the market actually organizes around.
Facts, then judgment
The platform reports positioning facts. Whether a reclaim is worth trading is a decision it deliberately leaves to you.
Trade the record, not the churn.
