Futures Curve Structures
CONTANGO ▲
F1 < F2 < F3

Normal market structure. Each contract priced higher than the previous.

✓ Bullish bias · BUY dips to ARC1/ARC2 · Market expects higher prices
BACKWARDATION ▼
F1 > F2 > F3

Inverted market structure. Each contract priced lower than the previous.

⚠ Bearish bias · SELL rallies to ARC3 · Market expects lower prices
MIXED ◆
INVERTED / FLAT

No clear structure. F2 above or below both F1 and F3 — potential reversal zone.

◆ Wait for confirmation · High uncertainty · Avoid trading the middle
Cash Price — Direction Rules
How to Read Cash vs F1
BULLISH
Cash < F1
Spot below first futures contract. Market pricing in future gains. Look to BUY toward ARC1 → ARC2.
BEARISH
Cash > F1
Spot above first futures contract. Market pricing in future losses. Look to SELL toward ARC3.
NEUTRAL
Cash ≈ F1
Spot at or near F1. No clear bias. Wait for a break above or below F1 before entering.
USDX Correlation Rules
USDX (DX) vs Indices, Gold & Crypto — Inverse Relationship
✓ CONFIRMED BULLISH
USDX Falling + Primary Rising
Dollar weakening supports equity, gold, and crypto prices. Both signals align. High confidence BUY setup.
✓ CONFIRMED BEARISH
USDX Rising + Primary Falling
Dollar strengthening pressures equity, gold, and crypto prices. Both signals align. High confidence SELL setup.
⚡ DIVERGENCE
USDX & Primary Same Direction
Both rising or both falling. Correlation broken down. Reduce size and wait for realignment.
◆ USDX CURVE RULE
DX Contango = Dollar Rising
DXF1 < DXF2 < DXF3 = Dollar strength expected = bearish for primary. Reverse for backwardation.
⚠ RELIABILITY BY ASSET CLASS
HIGH: Nasdaq, S&P 500, Dow, Gold, DAX, CAC — inverse correlation with USDX is strong and consistent.
MEDIUM: Crude Oil — inverse but less consistent (supply/demand often dominates).
LOWER: BTC Micro, ETH Micro — inverse relationship exists but is weaker and more variable. Treat correlation confidence scores with more skepticism on crypto days. Macro risk-on/risk-off often matters more than pure DXY moves.
Pattern · Trend Sequences
◈ Pattern Sequence (3·6·9)
174 · 285 · 396 · 417 · 528 · 639 · 741 · 852 · 963

These are the last 3 digits of key price levels based on the 3·6·9 frequency system. When an ARC signal lands near one of these numbers, confluence is confirmed — stronger entry signal.

Example: ARC1 = 19,285 → ends in 285 ✓ Pattern confluence confirmed
◈ Trend Sequence (1·4·7)
068 · 229 · 340 · 406 · 472 · 583 · 690 · 796 · 907

Trend frequency nodes from the 1·4·7 system. When an ARC level aligns with both a Trend and Pattern node simultaneously, you have MAX EDGE — highest probability setup.

Example: ARC2 = 19,406 → ends in 406 ✓ Trend confluence confirmed
Step-by-Step Workflow
01
SELECT ASSET
Pick your asset tab. If recall bar shows, click LOAD to pre-fill yesterday's values, then edit what changed.
02
PASTE DATA
Open Barchart links. Copy Previous Close values, paste into ⟐ PASTE box, hit Enter. Do the same for USDX.
03
COMPUTE
Click COMPUTE BOTH. Read curve, direction, correlation, day-over-day deltas, and confluence table.
04
CONFLUENCE
Check ARC table for Pattern + Trend node alignment. Both match = MAX EDGE. Cross-check USDX confirmation.
05
EXECUTE & LOG
Trade ARC1/ARC2 for BUY, ARC3 for SELL. Add session notes (setup, entry, reasoning). Save.
Power Features
⟐ Paste Parser

Paste Previous Close values from Barchart straight into the ⟐ PASTE box. Hit Enter or click PARSE.

3 numbers → F1/F2/F3
4 numbers → F1/F2/F3/F4
5 numbers → Cash/F1/F2/F3/F4
Handles spaces, commas, newlines, and 19,285.75 thousands-format.
⟲ Recall Last Values

Each asset remembers its last saved session. When you switch assets, the gold RECALL bar shows yesterday's values.

Click LOAD to pre-fill all inputs — then just edit what shifted overnight. Cuts data-entry in half. DISMISS to ignore.
◈ Session Notes

After computing, a notes textarea appears. Capture your setup, entry, stop, and reasoning before you save.

Notes show in the NOTES column of Session History. Over time, this becomes your trading journal — pattern recognition at scale.
⊕ Day-over-Day Delta

When you compute and there's a prior session for this asset from a different day, a gold strip appears showing how each level has shifted.

Green = up vs yesterday, Red = down, Grey = flat. Tells you at a glance whether the whole curve is climbing, flattening, or rolling over day-over-day.
⬇ CSV Export

On the Session History page, click EXPORT CSV to download your full history (respecting the current filter) as a spreadsheet.

Open in Excel or Google Sheets. Run win-rate stats by asset, curve type, confluence, or notes keyword. Your history becomes analyzable, not just scrollable.
Golden Rules
ArcTrader — 7 Golden Rules
1
Always use Previous Close — never live prices for ARC levels. The system is based on settled contract data only.
2
USDX confirmation is mandatory for highest confidence. Never trade against a confirmed USDX divergence.
3
Contango = BUY the dips.Backwardation = SELL the rallies. The curve tells you the bias for the day.
4
Pattern + Trend node at same ARC level = MAX EDGE. This is the highest probability entry in the system.
5
ARC3 is a SELL level only — never buy at ARC3. It is resistance, not support, under any circumstances.
6
Save every session. Your history is your edge — review patterns across days to see recurring confluence zones.
7
Write notes, not just numbers. After 30+ sessions with written context — setup, entry, stop, outcome — patterns become visible that pure numbers hide. Export to CSV monthly and review.
