Clean Market Structure & Trend Confirmation ( Updated )

CLEAN MARKET STRUCTURE & TREND CONFIRMATION — 24H CONTINUATION EDITION

This indicator is designed to help traders identify clear market direction, confirm trend strength, and manage trades with structured take-profit and stop levels. It works by aligning trend, momentum, and structure before showing any BUY or SELL signal. Signals are selective by design to reduce noise and false entries.

This version includes an optional continuation mode, allowing additional high-quality signals when trends persist, while still maintaining discipline and structure.

HOW TO LOAD AND USE (IMPORTANT)

Add the indicator to your chart.

Recommended symbols: SPY, QQQ, ES1!, NQ1! (works on stocks and futures).

Recommended timeframes:
• 5-minute (default and most balanced)
• 1-minute (faster, more active, optional)

No refresh is required each day. The script resets automatically.

RECOMMENDED DEFAULT SETTINGS

• 9:25 Bias Filter: ON
• Continuation Signals: ON
• TP Ladder: ON
• Keep Only Most Recent TP Ladder: ON
• Execute on Candle Close: optional (ON = safer, OFF = faster)

These defaults provide the best balance between discipline and opportunity.

HOW THE RIBBON WORKS (CORE TREND FILTER)

The ribbon is the foundation of the system.

• Teal ribbon = bullish trend
• Red ribbon = bearish trend
• Gray ribbon = no-trade zone

The system avoids signals in gray conditions to reduce chop. Only trade in the direction of the ribbon.

BULL AND BEAR DOTS

Bull and Bear dots mark confirmed trend flips.

• Bull dot = trend has flipped bullish
• Bear dot = trend has flipped bearish

These are not trades by themselves. They are early awareness signals that help you prepare for potential entries.

BUY AND SELL ARROWS (TRADE SIGNALS)

BUY and SELL arrows appear only when:
• Ribbon direction is aligned
• Trend structure confirms
• Momentum and volume agree
• Market conditions are favorable

These arrows represent high-probability trade opportunities, not constant signals.

TAKE PROFIT & STOP LEVELS

When a BUY or SELL arrow prints:
• TP1, TP2, TP3 levels appear automatically
• A STOP level is plotted automatically
• Levels are based on volatility and adjust to market conditions

Only the most recent trade plan is shown to keep the chart clean.

CONTINUATION MODE (WHAT’S DIFFERENT)

Compared to the original version:
• This version can take more than one trade per day
• It allows new trades when trends reset and realign
• It does NOT chase every candle
• It still requires full confirmation before each signal

Think of this as adaptive trend participation, not aggressive scalping.

1-MINUTE VS 5-MINUTE USE

• 5-minute: fewer signals, higher confidence, best for most users
• 1-minute: earlier entries, more activity, requires discipline

You do NOT need to switch back and forth constantly. Pick one timeframe and stay consistent.

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR NEW USERS

• Fewer signals is a feature, not a flaw
• Missing a move is better than forcing a bad trade
• Always manage risk and position size
• This indicator assists decision-making — it does not predict the future
