1. Core Purpose and Strategy
This is a multi-timeframe (MTF) indicator designed to identify high-probability entry points for a specific trend-following options selling strategy. It works by confirming a trend on higher timeframes (Daily and Hourly) before waiting for a precise entry trigger on a lower timeframe (15-Minute).
The core principle is confluence: ensuring that the Daily trend bias and the Hourly trend momentum are aligned before looking for a trade. This filters out many false signals that can occur when trading on a single timeframe.
IMPORTANT: This indicator MUST be applied to a 15-minute chart to function correctly.
2. How to Read the Visual Signals on Your Chart
The indicator provides several visual cues to guide you through the trading setup from start to finish.
A. Candle Colors: The "Setup is Ready" Signal
The primary signal to start paying attention is the change in candle color.
Aqua Candles: The market is in a Bullish Alignment. This means both the Daily and Hourly trends are bullish. You should now be preparing for a Put Sell entry. The very first aqua candle in a sequence is your "alert candle."
Yellow Candles: The market is in a Bearish Alignment. This means both the Daily and Hourly trends are bearish. You should now be preparing for a Call Sell entry. The very first yellow candle in a sequence is your "alert candle."
B. Entry Signals: The "Execute Trade" Signal
These signals appear only after the alert candle's level has been breached.
Green "PUT SELL" Label (below candle): This is your signal to enter a Put Sell (or a long position). It appears on the close of the 15-minute candle that breaks above the high of the first aqua alert candle.
Red "CALL SELL" Label (above candle): This is your signal to enter a Call Sell (or a short position). It appears on the close of the 15-minute candle that breaks below the low of the first yellow alert candle.
C. Exit Signals: The "Close Position" Signal
Red 'X' (above candle): This is the signal to close your Put Sell position. It appears when the primary daily trend has reversed to bearish.
Green 'X' (below candle): This is the signal to close your Call Sell position. It appears when the primary daily trend has reversed to bullish.
D. Background & EMA Lines: The "Context"
EMA Lines: The indicator plots two key EMAs from the higher timeframes onto your 15-minute chart so you can see the context.
Orange Line: Daily 5 EMA
Blue Line: Hourly 51 EMA
Faint Background Color: After an entry signal appears, the background will remain faintly colored (green for a bullish trade, red for a bearish trade) to remind you that you are in a hypothetical position.
3. The Step-by-Step Strategy Logic
Here is the precise set of rules the indicator follows to generate its signals:
For a PUT Sell (Bullish Trade):
Alignment Check: The indicator first confirms that:
The Daily Close is above the Daily 5 EMA.
AND the Hourly Close is above the Hourly 51 EMA.
Alert Phase: As soon as this alignment is true, the 15-minute candles turn aqua. The indicator internally notes the high of the very first aqua candle.
Entry Trigger: The indicator waits for a 15-minute candle to close above the high of that first alert candle. When this happens, the green "PUT SELL" label is plotted.
Exit Condition: The position is held until the Daily Close crosses back below the Daily 5 EMA. When this happens, the red 'X' exit signal is plotted.
For a CALL Sell (Bearish Trade):
Alignment Check: The indicator first confirms that:
The Daily Close is below the Daily 5 EMA.
AND the Hourly Close is below the Hourly 51 EMA.
Alert Phase: As soon as this alignment is true, the 15-minute candles turn yellow. The indicator internally notes the low of the very first yellow candle.
Entry Trigger: The indicator waits for a 15-minute candle to close below the low of that first alert candle. When this happens, the red "CALL SELL" label is plotted.
Exit Condition: The position is held until the Daily Close crosses back above the Daily 5 EMA. When this happens, the green 'X' exit signal is plotted.
