📌 The honest peer-reviewed ceiling on daily directional accuracy is 53-58%
for liquid US large-caps. The edge here comes from the conformal-filter abstention
(only trade high-confidence calls) plus sector-rotation + AI-spillover tilt.

Honest directional-accuracy benchmark →
-- 5-fold purged walk-forward vs PMC9680880 verdict.
• Stack: 89-feature LightGBM + triple-barrier labels + purged walk-forward.
• Sectoral rotation: AI-spillover beta, sector momentum vs SPY, cyclical/defensive phase.
• Conformal filter (Vovk/Romano-Bates 2021): abstains when prediction set has > 1 class
→ trade only high-conviction calls.
• Multi-timeframe TA: 1wk / 1d / 1h confluence patterns (Elder triple-screen,
Bollinger squeeze + Donchian breakout, MACD-cross + OBV).
