Remember how the caterpillar turns into a butterfly? That is the analogy that comes to mind when we consider our trading process, from opportunity identification (the setup phase) all the way to the execution (upon the arrival of the trigger aka the signal).
And the analogy continues if you notice that just like the butterfly will never turn back into a caterpillar, our trigger, once it’s a trigger, will never turn back into a setup.
Long story short, spend a minute considering the images below, and dive deep into how we think about our trading process, and how elegantly our Remek! Market Scanner Pro quantifies (a key word in objective trading!) market opportunities, illuminates our thinking and bounds our risk.

6J short signal in our Market Scanner Pro and on our price chart. 6J 240min 2026 02 06
Let’s take our current 6J chart and our Market Scanner Pro to demonstrate a few points:
We have a signal on 6J (see red circles above). Obviously that signal was first a setup, since every signal was first a setup (although not every setup will turn into a signal).
Note also the many setups on other instruments. Those opportunities are still in the setup phase (think “caterpillar”).
A subset of those setups will expectedly turn into signals (think “butterflies”) as new candles are built.
Also note that there is no longer a setup message on 6J: once a setup has turned into a signal (just like a caterpillar turns into a butterfly), there’s no going back. And it’s either a setup or a signal (or none), but it’s never both at the same time.
A beautiful process, in biology, as in trading, and a visualization which we have found useful over the years. But all this would be useless if we couldn’t pile up strong evidence for an edge in our methodology.
Such is the beauty of our software, such is the beauty of our method, such is the beauty of how Remek! traders* navigate the markets.
Mindful trading to all! Remember to join us today as we continue to trade the hard right edge of the chart in 2026.
*remek means excellent in the language of many a great trader
