ChronoFlow

## ChronoFlow Sentinel

ChronoFlow Sentinel is a regime console that blends normalized fast/mid/slow regression slopes, phases them against a dual-speed EMA spread, and grades alignment so you instantly know whether the time stack is trending, rotating, or fighting itself.

HOW IT WORKS

• Multi-Timeframe Slopes – Linear regression slopes are fetched via

  request.security()

  for your chosen fast, mid, and slow frames.
  
• Normalized Weighting – User weights are rescaled so the composite chrono score is always on a consistent scale, regardless of configuration.
  
• Phase Differential – The indicator subtracts a slow EMA from a fast EMA to detect whether price impulse confirms the slope mix.
  
• Alignment Score – Signs of the three slopes are compared to compute a 0-1 alignment metric; backgrounds and alerts use this to signal confidence vs. chop.
  
• Diagnostics Console – A bottom-right table streams each slope, the blended score, and which timeframe currently dominates.
  

HOW TO USE IT

• Trend Qualification: Only push multi-contract positions when chrono score is positive, phase is positive, and alignment stays above your alert threshold (default 0.66).
  
• Chop Defense: When alignment dips and conflict markers appear, immediately switch into mean-reversion tactics or sit flat.
  
• Swing + Intraday Bridge: Pair ChronoFlow with other structure tools; require both aligned backgrounds and price confirmation before committing to swing entries.

VISUAL FEATURES

• Optional flow curves: Enable Plot Raw Flows to audit each timeframe's slope when troubleshooting a signal.
  
• Background intensity: Opacity auto-adjusts with alignment, so weak trends look faded while strong regimes glow vividly.
  
• Signal/Conflict toggles: Long/short and chop markers are opt-in, keeping the panel pristine until you need annotations.
  
• Conflict alerts: Built-in alert condition fires whenever alignment falls below your threshold, warning execution layers to scale down risk.
  

PARAMETERS

• Fast Frame (default: 30): Fast timeframe for regression slope calculation.
  
• Mid Frame (default: 120): Mid timeframe for regression slope calculation.
  
• Slow Frame (default: D): Slow timeframe for regression slope calculation.
  
• Fast Regression (default: 21): Regression length for fast timeframe.
  
• Mid Regression (default: 34): Regression length for mid timeframe.
  
• Slow Regression (default: 55): Regression length for slow timeframe.
  
• Phase Length (default: 13): EMA period for phase differential calculation.
  
• Fast Weight (default: 0.45): Influence of the fast timeframe in the composite score.
  
• Mid Weight (default: 0.35): Influence of the mid timeframe in the composite score.
  
• Slow Weight (default: 0.20): Influence of the slow timeframe in the composite score.
  
• Plot Raw Flows (default: disabled): Enable to audit each timeframe's slope when troubleshooting.
  
• Show Signal Labels (default: disabled): Toggle long/short signal markers.
  
• Show Conflict Labels (default: disabled): Toggle conflict/chop markers.
  
• Conflict Alert Level (default: 0.66): Set the alignment threshold that should trigger reduced size or flat positioning.
  

ALERTS

The indicator includes three alert conditions:

• ChronoFlow Bullish: Detected a bullish regime shift
  
• ChronoFlow Bearish: Detected a bearish regime shift
  
• ChronoFlow Conflict: Flagged a low-alignment regime
  

LIMITATIONS

This indicator requires access to multiple timeframes via

request.security()

, which may consume additional resources. The alignment score is a simplified metric—real market conditions are more complex than a 0-1 scale can capture. The phase differential calculation assumes EMA spreads are meaningful proxies for momentum, which may not hold in all market regimes. Users should test parameter combinations on their specific instruments and timeframes, as default values are optimized for typical index futures trading.
