Technical Indicator Specs
These specs are here so a serious reader can see the structure behind the signals. Lime is built as a rules-based decision-support system — not a black box and not a mystery.
Trust does not mean pretending the market is certain. It means showing the logic, the limits, and the operating states clearly enough that someone can judge the work for themselves.
Each indicator reduces market noise into three outputs only: Buy, Trim, and Exit. Each one is evaluated across the 1-day, 6-hour, and 3-hour frames so the reader can see the same decision structure repeated consistently.
The short formulas are not meant to hide complexity behind symbols. They are meant to reveal the logic spine in a compact form: alignment, momentum, breadth, exhaustion, and risk working together as one disciplined read.
These tools are designed to be understood before they are trusted. If a reader disagrees with the logic, that is fair; what matters is that the logic is visible.
Twelve indicators, each with its output states, its short formula, and its buy/trim/exit description.
