A 500-lot sell on ES alone is ambiguous. A 500-lot sell on ES while NQ, RTY, and YM all see aggressive selling inside the same one-second window. That’s not noise, that’s the index complex moving as a unit. Forge watches up to four correlated futures at once and fires the moment they align, so you see coordinated algorithmic delivery as it happens. The SMT divergence concept ICT traders already use, but built on actual orderflow rather than candle wicks.
Large orders on a single instrument might be hedging, rolling, or noise. But when the same directional aggression appears across ES and NQ within a one-second window, it's coordinated institutional flow. The kind that moves markets. For prop firm traders, this cross-market confirmation filters out the noise that blows evaluations.
Forge uses Hammer's exact reconstruction logic on each instrument independently, then checks whether the reconstructed orders align in time and direction. When they do, it fires a confluence event. A signal that no single-instrument tool can produce.
