Verdict
The Six Gates — a glossary
All six must pass · 6-gate cascade
G1
Filters
Hard filters pass · confidence ≥ 55
Baseline quality — the candidate must already pass discovery's own filters and clear a minimum conviction bar before any technical work is done.
G2
Trend
Price > 50d EMA AND 50d EMA > 200d EMA
Don't fight the primary trend. The stock must be in an established uptrend on its own chart (above its 50-day) and the 50-day must be above the 200-day (the textbook "golden cross" state).
G3
Momentum
5d return ∈ [−5%, +15%] AND 20d return > 0%
Filters extremes on both ends. The lower bound (−5%) avoids buying into an active 1-week drawdown; the upper bound (+15%) avoids parabolic blow-off tops (INOD lost −12.81% after a +101% 5d run was missed by the old gate). The 20-day floor confirms the medium-term trajectory is up.
G4
Volume
5d avg volume ≥ 0.6 × 50d avg volume
A dying stock is an untradable stock. Recent volume should be at least 60% of the long-run average — lower means institutional interest is fading and any breakout will have no follow-through.
G5
Event Risk
Next earnings > 5 trading days away
Don't promote into an earnings print. Single-name risk during a binary event dwarfs the edge of the underlying signal. Defer until the print clears.
G6
Lockout
No hard-stop exit in last 60 days
Once a position trips the −15% or −25% hard stop, the ticker is locked out for 60 trading days. Prevents re-entering broken patterns — the system that just stopped you out shouldn't immediately re-buy the same name.
A candidate must pass all six gates to be promoted. A single failure defers the entry to the next cycle. The cascade replaces eight stacked patches (C108–C130) on the v1 logic with a single auditable rule per gate.
