Parameters Used
ATR-Based Calculations
The indicator uses different Average True Range (ATR) and multipliers which measures market volatility
Lower multipliers: More sensitive, faster signals
Higher multipliers: Less sensitive, more stable signals

Moving Averages

21 EMA: Helps identify the prevailing trend direction. Price above EMA suggests uptrend, below suggests downtrend
VWAP: Acts as dynamic support/resistance. Institutional traders often use this as a reference point

How to Use This Indicator
Step 1: Wait for Signal Confirmation

Do not trade when background is absent (neutral condition)
Look for BUY signal when background turns light green
Look for SELL signal when background turns light red

Step 2: Entry Rules
For Long Positions (BUY):

Wait for green triangle below candle
Confirm price is above the 21 EMA (blue line) for stronger probability
Enter at current market price or next candle open

For Short Positions (SELL):

Wait for red triangle above candle
Confirm price is below the 21 EMA (blue line) for stronger probability
Enter at current market price or next candle open

Step 3: Risk Management
Stoploss Placement:

For BUY trades: The indicator automatically marks a stoploss level (red line) based on recent price action
For SELL trades: The indicator automatically marks a stoploss level (green line) based on recent price action
These levels persist until hit or trend reverses

Exit Strategies:

Stoploss Exit: Exit when price hits the marked stoploss line (you'll see "SL HIT!" label)
Signal Reversal: Exit when opposite signal appears
Background Change: Consider exiting when background color disappears (trend weakening)

Step 4: Additional Confirmation
Use EMA & VWAP for Confluence:

Stronger BUY: When price is above both EMA and VWAP
Stronger SELL: When price is below both EMA and VWAP
Caution: When price is between EMA and VWAP (mixed signals)

Best Practices
✅ DO:

Use on higher timeframes (4H, Daily) for swing trading
Wait for clear signal confirmation
Respect the stoploss levels
Check dashboard for overall market condition
Use on trending markets for best results

❌ DON'T:

Trade during neutral/gray periods
Ignore stoploss levels
Trade against the background color
Use on very short timeframes (1min, 5min) - designed for swing trading
Enter trades when all three variants show mixed signals

Alert Setup
The indicator includes built-in alerts:

"All Bullish": Triggered on BUY signal
"All Bearish": Triggered on SELL signal
"Buy SL Hit": When long stoploss is touched
"Sell SL Hit": When short stoploss is touched

Timeframe Recommendations

Best: Daily, 4-Hour charts
Good: 1-Hour charts
Not Recommended: Below 1-Hour (too many false signals)

Understanding the Dashboard
The dashboard shows a breakdown of the decision-making process:

Variant 1, 2, 3: Individual component analysis
Decision: Final verdict (requires all variants to agree)
Active SL: Current stoploss level for open position

Risk Disclaimer
This indicator is a tool to assist in trading decisions. Always:

Use proper position sizing
Never risk more than 1-2% per trade
Combine with your own analysis
Practice on paper/demo accounts first
Past performance doesn't guarantee future results


Note: This indicator works best in trending markets and may generate fewer signals in ranging/choppy conditions. Patience is key to successful swing trading.
