Confluence
Confluence in trading refers to multiple independent technical factors aligning at the same price level or at the same time — for example, a key support level that also coincides with a moving average and a previous high. More confluence generally means a higher-probability setup.
Why it matters for traders
Trades with multiple confluent factors typically have higher win rates than trades with a single signal. Tracking which combination of factors produces the best results allows traders to focus on their highest-probability setups.
How Tradapt tracks this
Use Tradapt's setup tags to log the specific confluence factors present on each trade. Track win rate and average R by setup to identify which combinations of factors have the strongest edge.

What is confluent trading?
Confluent trading means only taking setups where multiple independent factors align — for example, a support level, an oversold indicator, and a bullish candlestick pattern all at the same price. More factors aligning typically increases the probability of success.
