Understanding BRIX Signals

How BRIX Finds Trades

BRIX uses four proprietary engines based on institutional trading methodology. Each engine looks for a different type of market pattern. When multiple engines agree, confidence increases.

Engine 1 — Structure Engine (CISD)

What it detects: Liquidity sweeps + market structure shifts

Step 1: Price sweeps a key level (stop losses get triggered)

Step 2: Strong displacement candle forms (institutions enter)

Step 3: Price confirms new direction (structure shifts)

This three-step sequence identifies where smart money is entering the market.

Visual: “SW” label = sweep, entry zone box = where to enter, arrow = confirmed shift

Engine 2 — Confluence Engine

What it detects: High-volume price levels where institutions have previously traded

POC (Point of Control)Highest volume price — strong magnet
VAH (Value Area High)Upper boundary — resistance
VAL (Value Area Low)Lower boundary — support

Signals fire when price reaches these levels with confirming momentum.

Engine 3 — Order Block Engine

What it detects: Institutional order zones

When a large institution places orders, they leave a “footprint” — the last opposing candle before a big move.

Bullish OB: Last bearish candle before a strong up move (institutions bought here)

Bearish OB: Last bullish candle before a strong down move (institutions sold here)

When price returns to an OB zone, there are likely remaining orders waiting to be filled — high probability reaction.

Engine 4 — Zone Engine

What it detects: Price imbalances (gaps in price action)

When price moves very quickly, it leaves gaps where no trading occurred. These gaps act as magnets — price tends to return and “fill” them.

Bullish zone: Gap upward — price likely to return and bounce up

Bearish zone: Gap downward — price likely to return and bounce down

Signal Quality — Star Rating

When multiple engines agree, signal quality and position size increase:

1/4 engines1.0x base risk — basic signal
2/4 engines ★1.25x — moderate signal
3/4 engines ★★1.5x — strong signal
4/4 engines ★★★2.0x — maximum signal

Single engine signals are valid trades. Multiple engine signals = larger position, rewarding high-conviction setups.

Session Multipliers
