How the confluence score works

By FibSetups · Updated July 2026

Every zone on the scanner carries a score. It is not a proprietary rating and it is not a probability — it is a transparent tally of the evidence that built the zone.

What counts

  • Swing count. The core input: how many distinct confirmed swings contributed at least one calculation to the zone. Twelve swings agreeing beats four, because twelve independent measurements colliding is less likely to be an accident.
  • Calculation mix. A zone built from retracements and symmetry and extensions is sturdier than one built from a single family, since each family measures something different. The derivation panel shows the mix (for example: 7× symmetry, 2× extension, 1× structure).
  • Timeframe weight. Zones where daily and weekly structure agree carry the D+W badge — the two horizons independently marking the same shelf.

What the score cannot tell you

Whether price will respect the zone today. The score measures accumulated structural evidence, all of it historical. Reaction is a live question, answered only by the trigger ladder. This split is deliberate: one number for how much evidence exists, a separate live readout for whether the market is honoring it. Collapsing those into a single “hotness” number is how platforms end up marketing predictions they cannot support.

Auditing a score

Click the zone. Every calculation is listed with its source swing and ratio. If you disagree with a zone, you can point at the exact line you disagree with — which is the standard any scoring system should meet.
