Understanding Scores

Understanding Scores

TradePress scores are designed to compare trading or investing opportunities within a selected strategy.

Raw Scores

A score is a raw numeric value produced by one or more scoring directives.

Do not assume every score is a percentage or that every strategy is limited to 0-100.

Strategy Maximums

Each directive can define its own maximum score. A strategy combines active directives, so the strategy has its own maximum possible total.

Example:

• Directive A maximum: 100
• Directive B maximum: 25
• Directive C maximum: 175
• Strategy maximum: 300

A raw strategy score of 210 would be 70% of that strategy's maximum.

Percentages

When TradePress shows a percentage, it should be treated as a display value:

raw score / strategy maximum score * 100

The raw score remains the canonical value used for strategy logic.

Failed Directive Behaviour

If a strategy uses a directive that has failed health, the strategy should pause automatically unless the strategy has an explicit safe fallback.

This prevents automated scoring or trading decisions from relying on broken inputs.
