Executive summary
Sharemaestro condenses market complexity into a small set of explainable, decision-first views. Each chart isolates one essential market dimension: demand, strength, momentum and its deviation from average, cycle context, and a single threshold that enforces exits. The result is earlier entries, cleaner exits, and tighter risk in both bull and bear regimes.
Design philosophy
- Market-agnostic, works up or down.
- Explainable, proprietary underpinnings with plain-language interpretation.
- Weekly cadence, structure over noise.
- Risk first, Smart Money buy only in red cycles; the DTL enforces exits.
- Synergistic, each chart is useful alone but powerful together.
Engine behind the glass
A machine-learned momentum engine outputs a robust Momentum Signal and Average Momentum. From these and companion modules we derive Accumulation/Distribution markers, a proprietary Strength measure, and the Demand Threshold Line (DTL). We do not disclose mechanics, but we keep interpretation explicit and decision-ready.
Charts & Signals
Market Dynamics, the big-picture compass
Frames where risk and opportunity concentrate. Bars near the top guide indicate stretched conditions (sell or short). Bars near the bottom guide indicate compression (buy). Extreme to extreme patterns repeat over multi-year cycles, enabling patient positioning.
Smart Money, footprints of sophisticated participation
Accumulation markers (turning black as intensity increases), Smart Money Buy (model-qualified), Investor Buy (momentum qualified), and a static DTL as early warning. Target: reach or breach the DTL for disciplined exits. Smart Money Buy appears only in red cycles.
Demand Threshold, when warning becomes urgency
Same DTL value, scaled. A price-bar breach here signals exit or short urgency. Unique to Sharemaestro.
Dynamic Momentum, the original snapshot
Momentum line, average trend, accumulation and distribution markers. A fast context view rather than a buy-signal chart.
Momentum Cycle, deviation you can trade
Weekly deviation of momentum from its average around a zero baseline with top and bottom guides. Highlights top and bottom zones and rotations.
Market Demand, the engine versus the result
Demand (left axis) with price (right axis). Building demand with lagging price often precedes advances, especially in commodities. Watch the zero crossover and the -1 level.
Market Strength, beyond RSI’s 30/70
A symmetric, proprietary strength read centered on zero. Agreement with Market Demand is potent, while divergence is a trap detector.
Market Cycle, context and crossovers
Red and green cycle bars with extremes. Crossovers from deep red to green often precede considerable moves. Smart Money Buy only in red cycles.
Decision playbooks
Early campaign (long), Red cycle stabilising → Demand rebuilding with price near or through -1 → accumulation at low momentum → Smart Money Buy → Investor Buy → ride Market Dynamics → exit near DTL.
Late campaign (trim or short), Demand fading while price is high → Strength decays → distribution at high momentum → Demand Threshold breach (scaled DTL) → act; Dynamics near top guide confirms.
Commodity accumulation, Demand rebuilds while price drifts; Momentum Cycle rotates up; Strength flips positive. Stage entries patiently, respect DTL later.
Crossover surveillance, Cycle red to green from deep lows; Momentum Cycle thrusts; Demand crosses zero; Smart Money confirms; Dynamics clears baseline.
Institutional workflows
- Screen by Demand divergence, Strength improvement, Momentum Cycle rotations, Cycle crossovers.
- Stack independent agreements into a composite score; throttle by DTL proximity.
- Use DTL breaches and distribution at high momentum as portfolio de-risk triggers.
- Base attribution and communication on the same explainable charts.
Retail workflows
Weekly routine: frame on Monday (Dynamics extremes, Demand crossovers, -1 price crosses, Momentum Cycle rotations), confirm mid-week with Strength, and plan on Friday with alerts and a short journal.
Why different from standard TA
| Dimension | Standard TA | Sharemaestro |
|---|---|---|
| Demand | Implied via price/volume | Explicit two-axis Demand vs Price |
| Strength | RSI 30/70 crowding | Proprietary symmetric read around zero |
| Momentum | Oscillators with fixed bands | ML Momentum + Momentum Cycle deviation |
| Exits | Subjective overheating | DTL: warning (static), urgency (scaled) |
| Risk gating | Often pro-cyclical | Smart Money Buy only in red cycles |
| System | Indicator soup | Interlocking charts that agree or disagree decisively |
Case studies & patterns
UNH, warning vs act: Smart Money (static DTL) flagged overheating; Demand Threshold (scaled DTL) reframed as exit or short urgency.
Mid-cap tech reset, accumulation when no one cares: Accumulation at low momentum, Demand crossover, later confirmation by Smart Money and Investor Buy.
Commodities, demand leads, price follows: Persistent demand rebuild while price drifts; patience until DTL proximity.
Risk management
- DTL converts “it’s hot” into explicit exit or short zones; urgency on the Demand Threshold chart.
- Distribution at high momentum is a practical de-risk signal.
- Cycle gating and divergence checks enforce discipline.
- Rule of threes: demand up, strength up, momentum up means higher probability; fewer than two agreeing means caution.
Implementation guide
- Define universe and build a /research hub.
- Create dashboards for Dynamics, Demand, Strength, Momentum Cycle, Smart Money, Demand Threshold.
- Adopt a weekly cadence: frame, confirm, plan.
- Alert on DTL breaches, Demand crossovers, Cycle crossovers, Distribution clusters.
- Pre-plan trims near Smart Money DTL and act on Demand Threshold breaches.
- Review monthly, what aligned, what was ignored, and why.
FAQ
Is Sharemaestro a black box? The calculations remain proprietary, but the interpretation is explicit and committee-ready.
Can I day-trade with it? It is not intended for intraday scalping. The edge is weekly context, campaign structure, and discipline at extremes.
What makes the DTL trustworthy? Market extremes rhyme. The DTL operationalizes that reality into a repeatable exit or short discipline, warning on Smart Money and urgency on Demand Threshold.
How does this complement fundamental analysis? Sharemaestro helps with when and how much: staging entries, sequencing adds, and timing exits with cross-validated signals.
Glossary
Accumulation: Measured buying in value zones; markers turn black as significance intensifies.
Distribution: Quiet selling into strength; caution near high momentum or DTL proximity.
Demand Threshold Line (DTL): A proprietary threshold. On Smart Money it is a warning (static). On Demand Threshold it is urgency (scaled).
Momentum Cycle: Deviation of momentum from its average, plotted weekly around zero.
Market Demand: Demand bars on a left axis with price on a right axis, cause and effect in one view.
Market Strength: A symmetric, proprietary strength measure centered on zero.
Conclusion
Sharemaestro compresses the market’s essential forces into a small set of independent, mutually reinforcing views. You see demand build or fade against price, strength confirm or contradict, momentum’s energy and position in history, the cycle turning, and a proprietary threshold that ends campaigns with discipline. It favours patience over prediction, discipline over hope, and process over personality, scalable for institutions and practical for retail.
