Triple Bottom Candidate Availability

Triple Bottom Candidate Availability is the knowledge index when the fifth structural pivot in a triple bottom is confirmed.

Advanced 1 linked topicEvidence-reviewed

Definitions

In plain terms

The final low must wait for its right-side bars before the structure is knowable.

Technical

candidate_available_at = final_low_index + pivot_right; no neckline test is allowed earlier.

Scope

Backdating a triple bottom to its final low creates look-ahead leakage.

Examples

  • A reviewer computes Triple Bottom Candidate Availability on a deterministic close fixture and checks pivot timing, threshold equality, neckline behavior, and rejection diagnostics before publication.

Common misconceptions

  • Backdating a triple bottom to its final low creates look-ahead leakage.
