How Amora Scores a Setup From 0 to 100

Every trading morning, Amora scans 650+ S&P 500 and Nasdaq names and reduces each candidate setup to a single number between 0 and 100. That number — Amora Confidence — is not a probability of profit and we never pretend it is. It is a conviction ranking: how cleanly this setup matches the patterns that have historically preceded strong moves.

Under the hood the score blends four families of signals: price structure (trend position, distance from key moving averages, 52-week context), momentum (RSI regime, relative strength versus SPY), volatility (IV rank for options — low IVR means you are underpaying for the option), and participation (relative volume, options flow). Each family contributes to the composite, and the composite is what you see on the card.

The score does one more job most services skip: it sizes the position. A 94-conviction pick gets 94% of the $1,000 model position; a 62 gets $620. That way conviction is expressed in capital, not adjectives — and when you read our ledger, the P&L already reflects it.

What should you do with a 94 versus a 62? Nothing different in kind — both passed the 70+ screening gate on their setup class. The difference is degree: the system leans harder into the cleaner chart. Watch how the two tiers settle on the public ledger over a month and the meaning of the number becomes very concrete.
