Market classification
Campaign, Trend, Intraday Flow, Balance/Transition, directional authority, EQ behavior, session context, and continuation state are surfaced in one decision layer.

Kit Decision Engine
KDE is a decision-support indicator built to make market state, directional authority, balance, structure, value, continuation, risk, and execution context easier to read consistently. It does not replace the Trading OS and it is not an autonomous trade signal.
Known-good baseline: KDE v6.3.26. The current development branch is testing a separate READY-permission lifecycle change; it is not part of the frozen public baseline yet.
Context & control
KDE tracks 1m/5m/15m/HTF EMA relationships, VWAP, protected structure, decision zones, liquidity references, swing/internal structure, and market-state conflicts.
Permission, not prediction
Lower-timeframe evidence is used to determine when a valid setup has actually reached executable conditions rather than merely looking directional.
A ten-step evidence sequence.
The current tracker organizes the setup through Location, Reaction, 5m Displacement, 5m CHoCH, 5m BOS, Authority, 1m VALUE, 1m REASSERT, Risk/Runway, and READY. The tracker is designed to make the reasoning visible without granting independent authority over the chart.
8 / 8 Phase 3 tests closed
The preserved Phase 3 regression baseline closed with all eight protected behavior groups passing and no pending or failed tests.
Verified source baseline
The v6.3.25 Pine source was migrated into the private control repository and verified byte-for-byte using SHA-256 before new development resumed.
Settings cleanup
Twenty-two obsolete/dead inputs and three dead derived variables were removed. Compile, settings UI, dashboard, and runtime/regression checks passed before the release was frozen.
READY should be permission, not a stale badge.
The next controlled change is testing a finite READY lifecycle so a completed execution sequence cannot remain active indefinitely after the original lower-timeframe opportunity has gone stale. That work is deliberately isolated from market-state, Balance, authority, and management logic.
One change, one regression gate, one known-good baseline.
KDE changes are versioned separately, compiled in TradingView, tested against protected behavior, documented with evidence, and frozen before another state-machine change begins. Failed compiler/runtime attempts remain in the development record rather than being erased.
Public KDE material
This page will become the index for release notes, architecture explanations, regression lessons, screenshots, and selected walkthroughs. Proprietary source and private thresholds remain private unless a deliberate public-release decision is made.
