Movement reference
Entry-price-relative thresholds determine when the next directional decision becomes eligible. This gives the engine an explicit price reference for its trading cycle.

Structured participation around price movement
A directional framework using explicit price-movement thresholds, adaptive trade-cycle sizing and rule-based long/short transitions.
Discuss this systemCMA PRIME / TECHNICAL OVERVIEW
Overview
Structured participation around price movement
PRIME organizes participation around movement away from a reference entry price. Favorable and adverse moves lead to different cycle decisions, while sizing and movement thresholds respond to the selected strategy settings. Its design emphasizes explicit direction transitions and capital context.

Inside the architecture
How this system works.
Direction modelLong / short
Directional transitions
The model distinguishes favorable continuation from an adverse move that calls for a direction change. Long and short transitions follow the configured movement rules.
Capital-linked sizing
Trade amounts are derived from the engine’s capital context and cycle settings. The sizing sequence is evaluated together with the changing movement reference.
Loss-sequence supervision
Drawdown and consecutive-loss conditions provide additional cycle-exit criteria. Their practical effect depends on the selected thresholds, market path and execution conditions.
CMA / PRIME
Make the direction change a defined decision.
Design considerations
Context matters.
- 01
Examine repeated reversals during range-bound periods.
- 02
Measure transaction costs across complete direction-change sequences.
- 03
Assess position sizing together with drawdown and loss-sequence settings.
System descriptions are technical overviews. Configuration, availability and any historical evidence are discussed directly with CMA. No performance outcome is implied.
