PrecisionCombo v4.1

PrecisionCombo is a multi-signal momentum and trend system built for intraday traders who want clear, actionable entries backed by multiple layers of confirmation. It layers two independent engines — a Trend Engine and a Breakout Engine — on the same chart so you can see at a glance whether a move has both directional structure and real momentum behind it.


HOW IT WORKS

PrecisionCombo layers two independent engines — a Trend Engine and a Breakout Engine — on the same chart. Each engine runs its own calculations and generates its own signals. The Trend Engine tells you the direction. The Breakout Engine tells you the conviction. Neither one alone gives you the full picture — direction without conviction gets you in too early, conviction without direction gets you in on the wrong side. By reading both engines together, you see at a glance whether a move has both structural trend support and real momentum behind it, or whether one side is missing.

Trend Engine — Identifies the prevailing trend direction using an adaptive smoothed average system that adjusts to volatility. The header displays the current wave state (BULLISH WAVE or BEARISH WAVE) along with the structural trend direction (TREND: UP or TREND: DOWN) so you always know which side of the market is in control. A built-in chop filter detects sideways, oscillating price action and suppresses signals during those conditions — keeping you out of the environments that destroy edge.

Breakout Engine — Measures breakout conviction through a multi-factor scoring system. It evaluates range expansion relative to recent ATR, impulse strength, trail separation distance, and liquidity conditions (relative volume and dollar volume thresholds). The result is a real-time Breakout Strength percentage (0–100%) displayed in the header. Higher values mean stronger participation behind the move. This helps you distinguish between a genuine breakout with follow-through potential and a low-energy drift that is likely to fail.

Signal Generation — Each engine generates its own signals based on its own conditions. The Trend Engine produces structural signals (B, S, BO, BD) when trend direction and price structure confirm. The Breakout Engine produces momentum signals (triangles, dots, arrows) when volume, momentum scoring, and trend smoothing confirm. When both engines are firing signals in the same direction on the same chart, that is confluence — the setup has both directional structure and momentum conviction supporting it.

Wave Candle Painting — Candles are painted based on the Trend Engine's momentum read. Green candles indicate bullish wave momentum is in control; red candles indicate bearish wave momentum. Signal events override wave colors — Breakout forces green, Breakdown forces red. This gives you an instant visual read on who is winning without checking any label.


TWO ENGINES, ONE SYSTEM

PrecisionCombo is built on two separate engines that generate their own signals independently. The power comes from watching how they interact and confirm each other.

Trend Engine Signals:
B (Green Label) — Structural trend flip bullish. The Trend Engine has confirmed a shift from bearish to bullish structure. This is a directional signal — the underlying trend has changed.
S (Red Label) — Structural trend flip bearish. The Trend Engine has confirmed a shift from bullish to bearish structure. If you are long, this is your structural warning.
BO (Cyan Label) — Bullish breakout. Price has broken above a prior range high with impulse confirmation, range expansion, trail separation, and sufficient liquidity. This is the strongest bullish signal the system produces. When BO fires, it means every gate has been passed — trend, impulse, expansion, and liquidity are all confirmed. This is the primary entry signal.
BD (Magenta Label) — Bearish breakdown. The mirror of BO to the downside. Same multi-factor confirmation required. Strongest bearish signal.

Breakout Engine Signals:
White Triangles (Up) — Early momentum detection. The Breakout Engine senses rising pressure before a full signal triggers. These are awareness signals — something is building.
Green Dots — Breakout quality confirmed. The momentum pulse score and volume conditions have cleared the threshold. Use these as confirmation that the move has substance, or as add-to points during an active trade.
Green Arrow (Up) — Momentum entry. The Breakout Engine's trend smoothing and volume conditions have aligned bullish.
Red Arrow (Down) — Momentum exit. The trend smoothing average has flipped, ending the momentum trade.
Yellow Arrow (Down) — Fast exit. An early warning that fires when the fast Hull average flips while you are still in profit. This lets you lock in gains before the full exit triggers.

Each signal from both engines requires multiple independent conditions to agree before it prints. No single factor can trigger any signal on its own.


WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

PrecisionCombo is not a moving average crossover, an RSI threshold, or a repainted arrow indicator. Every signal requires multiple independent conditions to agree before it prints. The system is built on the principle that no single indicator is reliable on its own — but when several unrelated measures point the same direction at the same time, the probability of follow-through increases significantly.

The two-engine architecture gives you something most indicators do not — two independent perspectives on the same price action. The Trend Engine reads structure and direction. The Breakout Engine reads momentum, volume, and conviction. When both engines are signaling the same direction at the same time (for example, a B fires and green dots are stacking), you know the setup has both structural and momentum support. When only one engine is firing, that is useful information too — it tells you something is missing.

The Breakout Strength percentage adds another dimension. A signal at 73% strength is a very different trade than one at 25%. You can see conviction before you commit capital.

The reason these two engines belong on the same chart is simple: a trend signal without momentum confirmation leaves you guessing about timing and conviction. A momentum signal without trend context leaves you guessing about direction. Together, they give you both — and you can see it all without switching between multiple indicators or second-guessing conflicting signals from separate tools.


HOW I LIKE TO USE IT

Best used with a screener that scans for breakout/momentum candidates. Once you find a chart that looks good, look for the BO signal as your primary entry. If the move continues to look strong, the green dots give you opportunities to add to your position. Due to the indicator having two separate engines, there are multiple buy and sell opportunities and they come earlier or later depending on price action.

I recently added the yellow early exit arrow because I wanted to give myself and other traders a chance to get out early and take profit rather than waiting for the full exit signal.

If you look at enough charts, you will notice a real gem of a warning: watch the white triangles and green dots trending upward during a breakout. When they stop appearing, the momentum is fading — best to take profit or step aside and wait for the next setup.


INPUTS

All parameters are configurable. Key inputs include sensitivity adjustment, breakout ATR multipliers, trail separation distance, pulse threshold, dollar volume minimum, momentum smoothing lengths, and chop filter toggle. Default settings are optimized for small-cap momentum stocks on the 5-minute timeframe but work across instruments and timeframes with adjustment.
