The Market Regime Detection Model (MRDM) runs 11 independent statistical tests to classify the current market as trending, mean-reverting, or transitional. This matters because different strategy types work in different regimes.
Trend-following strategies (breakout, momentum) perform well in trending regimes but get chopped up in sideways markets. Mean-reversion strategies (buy dips, sell rips) work in range-bound conditions but get steamrolled by strong trends. Knowing which regime you're in is arguably more important than knowing direction.
Current regime readings. Trending markets favor momentum strategies. Mean-reverting markets favor range strategies.

The regime classification is context, not a signal. A "Trending" classification means the statistical characteristics of recent price action are consistent with directional persistence — strategies that ride trends have historically performed better in these conditions.
