Reduce a Kronos probabilistic forecast into a single LONG/SHORT/NONE directional state with σ-scaled thresholds. Returns one of nine deterministic states (STRONG/WEAK long/short, FORECAST_FLAT, FORECAST_CHAOTIC, INSUFFICIENT_DATA, CONTEXT_UNSUPPORTED, DEGRADED).

Forecast the volatility regime over the Kronos horizon: VOLATILITY_EXPANSION / VOLATILITY_COMPRESSION / VOLATILITY_NEUTRAL using forecast realized volatility vs the input-window estimate.

Bucket Kronos sample-path dispersion (mean(sample_std_close) / ATR over input window) into HIGH / MODERATE / LOW / CHAOTIC conviction. Use the returned confidence as a weight multiplier on parallel Kronos directional reads — direction is always NONE.

Forecast the volume regime over the Kronos horizon vs the input-window mean: VOLUME_EXPANSION / VOLUME_CONTRACTION / VOLUME_NEUTRAL.

Test whether the Kronos forecast predicts a clean directional swing (one decisive move from start to end of horizon) versus chop or no-edge. Returns CLEAN_SWING / CHOPPY / NO_EDGE plus error states.

Forecast the maximum drawdown / runup (peak-to-trough on the p10 lower band, peak-on the p90 upper band) over the Kronos horizon, scaled by realized volatility. Use to anchor stop placement.

Estimate how long until the forecast reaches a target price level. Provide either an absolute target_price OR a signed target_pct relative to current last_price (target_price wins if both given). Returns TARGET_REACHED_FAST / TARGET_REACHED / TARGET_NOT_REACHED / TARGET_INVALID

• bars-to-target.

Run Kronos forecasts in parallel across 15m

• 1h
• 4h on the same symbol and emit one cross-horizon agreement state (FULL_LONG_ALIGNMENT / FULL_SHORT_ALIGNMENT / PARTIAL_ALIGNMENT / DIVERGENT / etc.). Timeframes are fixed by the engine; only symbol is needed.

Flag whether the Kronos forecast predicts a regime transition (trend ↔ range, vol expansion ↔ compression, etc.) versus continuation of the current regime. Combines forecast direction

• volatility forecast into a single transition state.

Confluence: an existing trend-following signal AND a Kronos forecast pointing in the same direction. Returns CONFIRMED_LONG / CONFIRMED_SHORT / PARTIAL / CONTRADICTED — use as a higher-conviction trade trigger than trend alone.

Confluence: a mean-reversion setup (oversold / overbought) where the Kronos forecast disagrees (predicts continuation, not reversion). Returns CONTRADICTED / NEUTRAL / CONFIRMED — flags a fade trade is risky.

Confluence: a volatility-expansion / breakout setup where the Kronos forecast validates the move (predicts continuation in the breakout direction). Returns VALIDATED / PARTIAL / FAILED.

Liquidation-squeeze reversal setup combined with the Kronos forecast path. Confirms or rejects the reversion thesis using forecast direction

• dispersion. Returns CONFIRMED_REVERSAL / PARTIAL / REJECTED.
