Execution Notes
Research

Research methodology for execution-focused futures traders.

Shadow Edge research connects auction context, VWAP, volume profile, footprint evidence, and replay review into one practical workflow.

Framework

Research exists to improve execution decisions.

The goal is to make trade location, evidence, and review visible before a trader requests deeper feedback.

Research methodology

Prepare context, mark key levels, define directional context, wait for order-flow evidence, and review outcome after replay.

Auction + footprint framework

Auction structure defines location. Footprint evidence supports or rejects execution at that location.
