Understanding the Visual Elements
1. Volatility Bands
Band 1 - Aggressive (Green/Red Line)

More sensitive, reacts faster to price changes
Green = Price in uptrend (bullish)
Red = Price in downtrend (bearish)
Acts as dynamic support/resistance for quick trades

Band 2 - Balanced (Blue/Orange Line)

Less sensitive, shows stronger, confirmed trends
Blue = Price in confirmed uptrend (bullish)
Orange = Price in confirmed downtrend (bearish)
Acts as major support/resistance for swing trades

Key Concept:

When price is above the band = bullish territory
When price is below the band = bearish territory
Price touching the band = potential entry point

2. Green Zone (Bullish Zone)

Appears when conditions favor buying
Shows the support flow area where price may bounce up
The larger the green zone, the stronger the bullish signal
Only appears during BUY signals

3. Red Zone (Bearish Zone)

Appears when conditions favor selling
Shows the resistance flow area where price may reverse down
The larger the red zone, the stronger the bearish signal
Only appears during SELL signals

4. Status Box (Top Right)

BUY (Green Background) = Long position conditions
SELL (Red Background) = Short position conditions
WAIT (Gray Background) = No clear direction, stay out
P&L Row: Shows profit/loss from current signal entry point

5. Multi-Timeframe Table (Bottom Right)

Displays signals across 7 timeframes (1M, 5M, 15M, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W)
Each row shows: Period | Status | P&L
Helps confirm if multiple timeframes align
Green = BUY, Red = SELL, Gray = WAIT

🟣 BOTH MODE TRADING
Advanced Strategy: Band Confluence
When both bands are visible, you can use advanced techniques:
Strong BUY Setup (Highest Probability)

Both bands are green/blue = Strong uptrend
Price above both bands = Momentum confirmed
Green zone present = Support established
Multiple timeframes show BUY = Alignment confirmed
Action: Enter long with confidence, wider profit targets

Strong SELL Setup (Highest Probability)

Both bands are red/orange = Strong downtrend
Price below both bands = Momentum confirmed
Red zone present = Resistance established
Multiple timeframes show SELL = Alignment confirmed
Action: Enter short with confidence, wider profit targets

Early Entry Signal

Band 1 turns green but Band 2 still red = Early bullish reversal
Action: Small position, tight stop, expect volatility
Exit: When Band 2 turns blue (confirm trend) or Band 1 turns red (false signal)

Trend Confirmation Signal

Band 1 already green, Band 2 turns blue = Confirmed uptrend
Action: Add to position, move stop to breakeven
Hold: Until either band changes color

Divergence Warning

Band 1 red but Band 2 blue = Conflicting signals
Action: Reduce position size or stay out
Meaning: Short-term weakness in longer-term uptrend

Both Mode Tips

Use Band 1 for entries, Band 2 for confirmation
When bands disagree, respect the higher timeframe (Band 2)
Best for traders who want complete market view
Requires more screen time and experience


Multi-Timeframe Analysis
How to Use the Bottom Right Table

Moderate Signals (Medium Confidence)

3-4 timeframes aligned = Decent trend forming
Action: Trade with standard position size
Example: 15M, 1H, 4H all show BUY = Good long setup

Weak Signals (Low Confidence)

Mixed colors = No clear trend, choppy market
Action: Reduce position size or avoid trading
Example: 5M shows BUY, but 1H shows SELL = Conflict

Timeframe Priority by Trading Style
