Signal Snapshot
On Thursday, August 20, 2026, the EdgeOS scanner identified 32 T1 ignition signals in a Chop market regime. The SPY SCTR was in the Chop zone, which corresponds to a historical T1 win rate of 44% based on 7-year backtests across 799,000+ signals. Bull T1 ignitions fired on: UVIX, QURE, MRVL, MANH, IT, ERO, SM, GRAL, IQV, PTEN, ETH, KMX, ETHA, CVE, NDSN, BITX, OVV, CNQ, OXY, KRYS, RIG, VAL, CONL, AJG, PDBC, EOG, COIN, RLI, LNG, PAAS, NDAQ, ALSN. Bear ignitions: WYFI, ARQT, CHD, FND, AMZN, CI, ULTA, CG, PG, GE, EGP, KLIC, AXP, FIX, C, BANC, EXP, NBIL, MRCY, WMS, TT, UFPI, NTES, GOOGL, QUBT, ERAS, IDXX, GOOG, LAZ, SBAC, OUT, YETI, ABVX, STRL, INFY, TXT, VMC, DOV, MYRG, BA, AAL, CNM, MLM, TLN, TDG, GAP, SGI, AS, AEO, WWD, LHX, XP, GGLL, ASO, CRH, RYAAY, VST, WMT, SYM, DECK, VFC, NYT, ACM, FTAI, STUB, SMMT, BWXT, FLNC, PRIM, IPGP, CRWD, AAP. A T1 ignition occurs when a stock's bull counter crosses from 0 to 1 with SCTR above 9, confirming the start of a new bullish count cycle. Entry is above the trigger price; the ATR-derived target and stop define the trade's risk/reward.
The 55% historical win rate for T1 ignitions applies in bull regimes. In chop, it drops to 44%; in bear regimes, 38%. Risk management and SCTR band matter: signals with SCTR in the High or VH band (above 6.0) historically outperform those in the Mid band.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many T1 ignition signals fired on Thursday, August 20, 2026?
EdgeOS identified 32 bull T1 ignitions and 72 bear ignitions on Thursday, August 20, 2026. The scanner filters to ~3,000 liquid US equities with ADV ≥ $40M and price ≥ $5.00.
What is the historical win rate for T1 ignitions?
In a Chop regime (current on Thursday, August 20, 2026), the historical win rate is 44% based on 7-year backtests across 799,000+ signals. In bull regimes: 55%. In chop: 44%. In bear: 38%.
How do I use these signals?
Buy above the trigger price (the close when bull count = 1). Hold toward the ATR target, which represents a 1.0× ATR move above the prior period close. Stop below the lower trigger. Exit near count 9 if reached. Average hold: 12–15 trading days for completed cycles.
What is SCTR and why does it matter here?
SCTR (StockCharts Technical Rank) is a composite score from 0–10 blending 26-week/13-week rate of change, PPO, and RSI. A reading above 9 is required for a T1 bull ignition. Higher SCTR (VH band, above 8) historically shows slightly better win rates.
