Core Logic
StrideZone Navigator combines three independent checks, none of which are Bollinger Bands, RSI, CCI, Stochastic, or MACD:
| # | Check | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pace Line Cross | Price crosses the McGinley Dynamic (14) — an adaptive average. Up-cross = long bias, down-cross = short bias. |
| 2 | Mood-Zone Filter | Skip bars in the "Struggle Zone" (BW Market Facilitation Index): big volume, no real price progress. |
| 3 | Fuel Check | ATR(14) must be ≥ 0.85× its 50-bar average — avoids dead, low-volatility conditions. |
