Admin Guide Scoring Directives

Admin Guide: Scoring Directives

Scoring directives are individual rules or calculations used by strategies.

What A Directive Does

A directive evaluates one signal, such as a technical indicator, market condition, timing rule, or provider-backed data point. Strategies combine directives to produce a raw score.

Directive Health

Before using a directive in a strategy, check its health:

• healthy: usable
• warning: usable but degraded
• failed: do not rely on it
• unknown: not checked yet
• not applicable: health checks do not apply

Scores Are Not Always Percentages

Directive and strategy scores are raw numeric values. A strategy may show a percentage by comparing the raw score with the strategy maximum.

See Understanding Scores.

Failed Directives

If an active scoring or trading strategy uses a failed directive, TradePress should pause that strategy automatically unless a deliberate safe fallback is configured.

Before Enabling Automation

• Confirm all required directives are healthy.
• Confirm providers and imports are configured.
• Understand the raw score and strategy maximum.
• Resolve failed directives before relying on automated behaviour.
