**Why Use Tick Data?**
- **True Order Flow**: See every single transaction
- **No Time Aggregation**: Pure price/volume action
- **Institutional Footprint**: Catch block trades instantly
- **Maximum IB Precision**: Most accurate delta/momentum

**Best Tick Settings by Instrument:**
| Instrument | Chart TF | Recommended Tick IB |

## ⚠️ CRITICAL RULE
**Intrabar TF MUST be LOWER than your chart TF!**

### Automatic Validation (v8 NEW!)
The script now automatically detects invalid intrabar configurations:

**When Intrabar TF is INVALID:**
1. **Yellow warning label** appears on chart: "⚠️ INTRABAR TF INVALID"
2. **Table shows**: "IB Data: ⚠️ INVALID TF" with yellow background
3. **Alert available**: "⚠️ INTRABAR CONFIG ERROR"
4. **Score impact**: Intrabar points (up to 5) are NOT added

**Example - 2 Minute Chart:**
```
VALID selections: 1T, 5T, 10T, 25T, 50T, 100T (any tick)
1S, 5S, 10S, 15S, 30S (any second)
1 (1-minute only)

INVALID selections: 2, 3, 5, 10, 15... (2min or higher)
D, W, M (obviously)
```

| Your Chart | Valid Intrabar Options |
|------------|------------------------|
| **2 minute** | **1T-1000T, 1S-30S, 1 only** |

| 1 hour | 1T-1000T, 1S-30S, 1-45 min |
| 4 hour | 1T-1000T, 1S-30S, 1-180 min |
| Daily | All tick, seconds, minutes up to 240 |

# 🎨 VISUAL FILTERING (v8 NEW!)

## The Problem (v7)
Too many sweep and absorption markers cluttered the chart with low-quality signals.

## The Solution (v8)
**Quality filters** - only show sweeps/absorption that MATTER.

### Sweep Quality Score
A sweep needs confluence to display:
```
+1.5 = In FVG Zone
+1.5 = In Order Block
+1.0 = Strong volume
+0.5 = In session
+1.0 = Intrabar confirmation
───────────────────
MIN NEEDED: 2.0 to show
```

### Absorption Quality Score
```
+1.5 = In FVG Zone
+1.5 = In Order Block
+1.0 = Tier signal present
+0.5 = In session
+0.5 = CVD confirmation
───────────────────
MIN NEEDED: 2.0 to show
```

### Settings
```
VISUAL FILTERS:
├── Only Show Quality Sweeps: ON (default)
├── Only Show Quality Absorption: ON (default)
├── Min Sweep Quality Score: 2.0
└── Min Absorption Quality Score: 2.0

Turn OFF filters to see ALL signals (not recommended)
```

---

# 📈 CVD IMPLEMENTATION (v8 FIXED)

## What Changed

### v7 Issues:
- CVD accumulated forever (overflow risk)
- Short slope calculation (only 3 bars)
- No session reset

### v8 Fixes:
```
1. SESSION RESET: CVD resets at London/NY open
2. PROPER SLOPE: Calculated over 5 bars
3. STDEV COMPARISON: Strong/Extreme = slope > 1-2 stdev
```

## CVD Readings in Table

| Display | Meaning | Score Contribution |
|---------|---------|-------------------|
| 🔥 BULL | Extreme bullish momentum | +1.5 total |
| 🔥 BEAR | Extreme bearish momentum | +1.5 total |
| ↑ BULL | Strong bullish trend | +1.0 total |
| ↓ BEAR | Strong bearish trend | +1.0 total |
| bull | Bullish bias | +0.5 |
| bear | Bearish bias | +0.5 |
| — | Neutral/mixed | +0 |

# 🔧 TROUBLESHOOTING

| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| **Yellow "INVALID TF" warning** | Your intrabar TF is >= chart TF. Select LOWER! |
| **IB Data shows "⚠️ INVALID TF"** | Same as above - pick 1T, 1S, or 1 for most charts |
| No signals appearing | Lower Min Score threshold |
| Too many signals | Raise Min Score threshold |
| Score always 0 | Check if candle is tiered (meets point threshold) |
| Sweeps not showing | Check quality filter settings or lower threshold |
| Table transparent | ❌ Fixed in v8 - table is now solid |
| CVD not making sense | Now resets at session open - cleaner readings |
| Wrong tier thresholds | Adjust for your instrument (see setup guide) |
| Tick TF not available | Requires TradingView Premium+ subscription |

# 🎨 VISUAL FILTERING (v8 NEW!)

## The Problem (v7)
Too many sweep and absorption markers cluttered the chart with low-quality signals.

## The Solution (v8)
**Quality filters** - only show sweeps/absorption that MATTER.

### Sweep Quality Score
A sweep needs confluence to display:
```
+1.5 = In FVG Zone
+1.5 = In Order Block
+1.0 = Strong volume
+0.5 = In session
+1.0 = Intrabar confirmation
───────────────────
MIN NEEDED: 2.0 to show
```

### Absorption Quality Score
```
+1.5 = In FVG Zone
+1.5 = In Order Block
+1.0 = Tier signal present
+0.5 = In session
+0.5 = CVD confirmation
───────────────────
MIN NEEDED: 2.0 to show
```

### Settings
```
VISUAL FILTERS:
├── Only Show Quality Sweeps: ON (default)
├── Only Show Quality Absorption: ON (default)
├── Min Sweep Quality Score: 2.0
└── Min Absorption Quality Score: 2.0

Turn OFF filters to see ALL signals (not recommended)
```

# 📈 CVD IMPLEMENTATION (v8 FIXED)

## What Changed

### v7 Issues:
- CVD accumulated forever (overflow risk)
- Short slope calculation (only 3 bars)
- No session reset

### v8 Fixes:
```
1. SESSION RESET: CVD resets at London/NY open
2. PROPER SLOPE: Calculated over 5 bars
3. STDEV COMPARISON: Strong/Extreme = slope > 1-2 stdev
```

## CVD Readings in Table

| Display | Meaning | Score Contribution |
|---------|---------|-------------------|
| 🔥 BULL | Extreme bullish momentum | +1.5 total |
| 🔥 BEAR | Extreme bearish momentum | +1.5 total |
| ↑ BULL | Strong bullish trend | +1.0 total |
| ↓ BEAR | Strong bearish trend | +1.0 total |
| bull | Bullish bias | +0.5 |
| bear | Bearish bias | +0.5 |
| — | Neutral/mixed | +0 |

# 🔧 TROUBLESHOOTING

| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| **Yellow "INVALID TF" warning** | Your intrabar TF is >= chart TF. Select LOWER! |
| **IB Data shows "⚠️ INVALID TF"** | Same as above - pick 1T, 1S, or 1 for most charts |
| No signals appearing | Lower Min Score threshold |
| Too many signals | Raise Min Score threshold |
| Score always 0 | Check if candle is tiered (meets point threshold) |
| Sweeps not showing | Check quality filter settings or lower threshold |
| Table transparent | ❌ Fixed in v8 - table is now solid |
| CVD not making sense | Now resets at session open - cleaner readings |
| Wrong tier thresholds | Adjust for your instrument (see setup guide) |
| Tick TF not available | Requires TradingView Premium+ subscription |
