How to read Meridian Picks
Meridian Score is the model’s estimated probability that price reaches Target 1 within 90 days, based on historical signal outcomes with similar Ichimoku, Fibonacci, momentum, and fundamental profiles.
Entry Levels — four scaled limit buy orders at Fibonacci retracement levels (61.8%, 50%, 38.2%, 23.6%). The 61.8% is the primary entry; shallower retracements are bonus fills. Set all four and let the retracement come to you. No stop loss — trust the fundamentals.
Take-Profit Targets — sell limits are submitted after entry fills (Stage 2). T1 = swing high (conservative), T2 = 127.2% Fibonacci extension, T3 = 161.8% extension (Nvidia-style runner). Avoid signals are bearish or counter-trend (weekly cloud opposing daily) — no entry.
