Each side is scored against 10 checks. Confidence = passed checks ÷ 10, shown as a percentage.
A direction is only taken on a clear lead:
7 or more checks and at least 2 ahead of the other side → directional
6 checks and at least 2 ahead → directional, confidence reduced by 5
Anything else → WAIT
What confidence is not
Confidence is a checklist pass-rate, not a probability. 80% means 8 of 10
conditions currently line up. It does not mean an 80% chance the trade wins.
The number is not calibrated against realised results. For actual outcomes, read the
paper track record — wins, losses, open positions and expiries,
counted on closed trades only.

Basic Scorecard Mode vs DR BOY GLOBAL 369
The 10-check scorecard above remains the Basic Scorecard Mode (beginner educational layer).
The final research ensemble is:
10-check basic score + market regime + best-chart selector + chart-pattern confidence + multi-timeframe alignment + liquidity + news impact (KNIE-369) + cross-market confirmation + data quality + calibrated probability = DR BOY final output.
Directional thresholds become regime-specific inside DR BOY (not only the fixed 6/10 beginner gate). No verified fresh data = No signal.
Paper tracking
No real orders are ever placed
Outcomes read the candle high/low path, bar by bar, from the moment the signal was recorded
If one candle touches both the target and the stop, we cannot know which came first — it is recorded as a loss
Targets are 1.15R (TP1) and 2.1R (TP2); a stop is −1R
48h expiry · fees and slippage are not included, so real results would be worse
Win rate counts closed trades only — open and expired positions are excluded
