Signal Desk entry checklist indicator for TradingView

Pullback, the default: price visits the fast average, then gives a strong close beyond it as momentum turns. Trend also needs Supertrend and EMA agreement. A touch alone is insufficient.

Breakout: a close breaks a confirmed swing in the trend direction. BOS marks continuation; CHoCH marks a change from the prior structure direction. Both mode accepts either trigger.

Then come the grade, chase limits, entry window, available daily allowance and position checks. There is one position at a time and normally a six-candle cooldown after exit. A qualifying opposite-signal reversal can reopen on the exit candle, subject to that bar’s gates.

• Trend: Supertrend and fast/slow EMA direction agree.
• Momentum: RSI is on the trade’s side of its average and 50.
• Structure: the last confirmed swing break agrees.
• Location: close is near the fast EMA; long range is half an ATR below to one ATR above. Shorts mirror it.
• Candle: a strong directional body, close near its extreme, and no oversized range.

Default grades: A = five, B = four, C = three. Minimum B. Raising the minimum reduces qualifying setups; it does not establish better outcomes.

VWAP side, higher-timeframe direction and proximity to the day’s high/low are three context factors. They and learned strength are information by default, not extra entry gates.

Any one blocks it: candle high–low range above 2.5 ATR; directional stretch from fast EMA above 2 ATR; or range of the last three closes above 3 ATR, with the close beyond the close three candles ago in the entry direction. Exact equality passes.

ATR measures recent price movement, including gaps. For a default pullback, the current candle or one of the previous three must touch within 0.3 ATR of the fast EMA. A strong body occupies at least forty percent of its candle; the wick beyond the close is at most thirty-five percent.

Strength 0–100 is a relative model score, not a chance of winning. Fifty represents the model’s typical factor mix. It affects the grade only if Grade from is changed to Learned strength.

1. Open one practice bracketA trigger is sampled when no shadow bracket is active.
2. Wait for its outcomeLater candles reach its stop, configured TP1 distance, or timeout.
3. Adjust the factor weightsThe model updates using the sampled trigger’s saved readings.

Only one shadow runs at a time; intervening triggers are not separately sampled. Stop wins a same-candle collision. TP1 is 1R by default; thirty candles without resolution trains an outcome of 0.5. This differs from the full managed trade.

The Learned row’s T/M/S/L/C/V/H/R weights cover the five setup factors and three context factors. Plus/minus marks describe learned weights, not proof of a lasting advantage.

1R is the initial entry-to-stop distance. Default targets are 1R, 2R and 3R. TP1 moves the stop to entry; TP2 moves it to TP1 and starts an ATR trail; TP3 ends the plan. TP1 and TP2 do not take partial profits.

The default structure stop uses the farther recent swing or five-candle extreme, plus 0.25 ATR. If its distance exceeds 2.25 ATR, it falls back to 1.5 ATR. The ATR multiple setting changes that fallback, cap and trail.

Each later candle checks the existing stop before targets. A newly moved stop does not apply retroactively to that candle’s earlier wick.

Other exits include Supertrend reversal, RSI crossing its average after at least two candles held, a qualifying opposite signal, Intraday square-off, or the optional time stop before TP1. Exit labels record the reason.

Setup / Grade show agreement; Context / Strength / Learned show supporting readings. Entry, Stop and Targets describe the plan; Trend, Session and Today show direction, time and daily use. Record / By grade summarize closed paper outcomes without costs.

Co-Pilot’s NOW describes the state, WHY gives the readings and PLAN names what follows under the rules. It explains the same engine, not an independent prediction.

Clean shows the trend cloud. Pro adds Supertrend, VWAP, swing labels and faint filtered-trigger marks. Full adds strength coloring and session shading. Minimal reduces the drawings.

For studying purchases on a call or put premium chart, the tool’s intended configuration is Long only, mapping off. On an index/futures chart, Both with mapping on labels longs BUY CE and shorts BUY PE.

Mapping formats a strike and expiry label. It does not read an option chain, premiums, Greeks or available expiries. Index-derived levels remain index prices. Quantity is an input, not automatic risk sizing.

An EXIT message recalculates its strike from the current price rather than preserving the entry strike. Treat it as descriptive data; it cannot by itself identify the original option contract for execution.

Eight named conditions: long/short entries, their A-only variants, long/short exits, TP1 and TP2. Choose Once Per Bar Close.

Any alert() function call sends ENTRY and EXIT, plus TP1/TP2 milestones by default. Choose JSON or readable text. Payloads include symbol, timeframe and event; entry messages include grade, strength, plan and supplied quantity.

These are indicator events, not broker fill confirmations. The strategy twin has no matching alert configuration.

Indicator defaults below. Change one input at a time.

The twin shares Trade except quantity, Strength, Session, Risk, Filters and Engine inputs. It has no options, panel or alert settings.

1. Keep defaults and watch a full session, including skipped candidates.
2. Load the twin on a second chart. Set realistic quantity, fees and slippage in its properties.
3. Compare one change at a time, then check a separate period. Include losing examples.

Twin header defaults: capital 5,000,000, quantity 75, cash fee 20 per order and one tick of slippage. They are code defaults, not current broker terms. Its fill emulator can differ from the indicator’s stop-first paper record.

We measured one index chart with real costs on. Counting all eight factors, using learned strength as the gate and a stricter momentum exit made that sample worse. The five-factor setup count remained the default.

One symbol, one window, settings chosen while viewing that chart: in-sample evidence. The lab notes include failures and context. They do not establish the next trade’s outcome.

Entries commit on confirmed candles. Live readings can move before the close. Changing history, feed, timeframe or inputs can recalculate results. Pivots need five later candles by default; higher-timeframe context uses its last closed candle.

Default entry times are 09:30 inclusive to 14:45 exclusive, Asia/Kolkata, based on candle opening times. Intraday square-off happens on the first closed candle whose opening time falls inside 15:00–15:15.

The tool sees chart bars, not news, option Greeks, order flow or actual fills. Its paper record omits costs. It does not predict prices. This is research tooling, not financial advice.
