# confluence

The Confluence section controls how many pillars must agree before a signal fires, and whether the minimum score is automatically capped based on how many pillars are enabled.

## Settings (as they appear in the UI)

| Setting                | Default | Range  | Description                                                    |
| ---------------------- | ------- | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Score Pillars          | ✅ On    | On/Off | Auto-caps Base Min Score to the number of enabled hard pillars |
| Base Min Score (Long)  | 2       | 1–4    | Minimum score required to fire a long signal                   |
| Base Min Score (Short) | 2       | 1–4    | Minimum score required to fire a short signal                  |

## How Score Pillars (Auto-Scale) Works

When **Score Pillars** is enabled, the effective minimum score is:

```
Effective Min Score = min(Base Min Score, Number of enabled hard pillars)
```

Hard pillars = Expansion Wave + Momentum + Order Flow (maximum 3). Divergence is not counted as a hard pillar for this cap.

**Example:**

* Expansion Wave: On, Momentum: On, Order Flow: Off → 2 hard pillars available
* Base Min Score: 3
* Score Pillars caps effective minimum to **2** so signals can still fire

Without Score Pillars enabled, a Base Min Score of 3 with only 2 active pillars would make signals impossible to generate.

## Choosing Your Base Min Score

| Base Min Score | Signal Frequency | Quality   | Best Use Case               |
| -------------- | ---------------- | --------- | --------------------------- |
| 1              | High             | Lower     | Scalping, strategy testing  |
| 2 (default)    | Moderate         | Good      | Standard active trading     |
| 3              | Low              | High      | Swing trading on 4H+        |
| 4              | Very low         | Very high | High-conviction setups only |

You can set different values for longs and shorts independently. For example, in a confirmed bull market you might set Base Min Score (Long) to 1 and Base Min Score (Short) to 3.
