Chapter 01

Turn tool text into a scenario fork

Trader question

What is the possible read, and what would prove it wrong?

Signal Detection text should become a fork: market context, observation, possible scenario, alternative scenario, and invalidation. A one-branch read is too fragile.

Desk checklist

Read the market context first.
Name the nearest reference without chasing it.
Keep possible, alternative, and invalidation together.

Interactive proof

Signal Detection panel

Use the scenario fork lab to switch tool states and keep possible, alternative, and invalidation visible together.

Tool text becomes a fork

Market bias and reaction state split into possible, alternative, and invalidation cards.

Storyboard beats4 cues

Market bias and reaction state labels appear.

The labels move into a possible scenario card.

An alternative scenario card appears beside it.

An invalidation card locks below both branches.
