Open the settings panel → 00. Theme Selection.
-
Classic: Neutral, professional palette aligned with standard PMALGO colors.
-
Cyberpunk AI: High‑contrast neon palette for maximum clarity on dark charts.
-
Tip: Theme updates all components (structure labels, OBs, FVGs, dashboard, etc.) for consistent look.
Configure Display & Styling (Group 01)
-
Dashboard Location: Set where to show the MTF dashboard (Top/Bottom Left/Right) or hide it.
-
Dashboard Size: Choose Tiny/Small/Normal/Large to match your screen.
-
Label Sizes: Tune Internal/Swing/EQHL label sizes to avoid clutter.
-
Tip: The MTF dashboard only computes when visible for better performance.
Enable Market Structure (Group 02)
-
Swing/Internal Structure: Choose which events to show (All, CHoCH, CHoCH+, BOS, None).
-
Lookback: Set sensitivity (lower = more signals). Use Manual or Dynamic mode.
-
MTF Scanner: Enable to show 15m/1H/4H/1D bias in the dashboard.
-
EQH/EQL: Toggle to mark equal highs/lows.
-
Plotcandle/Bar Color: Replace or recolor chart candles by structural trend.
-
Pro tip: Use Swing for bias; Internal for timing entries.
Turn on Volumetric Order Blocks (Group 04)
-
Enable + Count: Choose how many OBs to show.
-
Length: Pivot length used to build OBs (higher = higher quality).
-
Timeframe: Pull OBs from any TF (e.g., 1H OBs on a 5m chart for higher confluence).
-
Filter: None, BOS, CHoCH, CHoCH+ to control which structures create OBs.
-
Mitigation: Close, Wick, or Average (defines when an OB expires).
-
Positioning: Full, Middle, Accurate, Precise to control the OB height logic.
-
Internal Buy/Sell Activity: Show volume‑share bars inside OBs to gauge pressure.
-
Middle‑Line: Draw the average line across the OB body.
-
Hide Overlap: Choose Recent or Previous to keep the latest/earlier zones.
-
OB Labels: Show “OB <TF>” with size/transparency controls.
-
Breaker Blocks (04.1): Show flipped, mitigated OBs as continuation zones (set fill, extend bars).
-
Tip: Match OB timeframe to your trading plan (e.g., swing: 4H/1D; intraday: 15m/1H).
Add Fair Value Gaps (Group 06)
-
Enable FVG.
-
Type: FVG (classic), VI, or OG.
-
Show Last + Extend Bars: Control how many recent gaps and how far they extend.
-
Mitigation: Close vs Wick to define gap “filled”.
-
Timeframe: Pull FVGs from a chosen TF for top‑down confluence.
-
Labels: Display “- - - FVG <TF>” next to each gap with text size/transparency.
-
Tip: Combine Swing CHoCH/CHoCH+ with HTF FVG for high‑probability continuation.
Plot Auto Golden Pocket (Group 07)
-
Enable AGP to draw 0.5 and 0.618–0.65 Fibonacci band from dynamic pivots.
-
Choose the Timeframe (default 1D) and Color.
-
Use as a balance zone (premium/discount) for reversion or continuation setups.
Visualize Volume Bubbles (Group 08)
-
Enable bubbles to see normalized volume spikes at price.
-
Threshold: Set sensitivity (default 1.6σ).
-
Heatmap: Turn on for a multi‑color gradient by intensity; off for single gradient.
-
Significant Levels: Optionally draw lines/labels for extreme volume events.
-
Levels Qty: Limit the number of lines/labels to avoid clutter.
-
Bubble Border + Custom Colors: Add a subtle ring and pick your own fill/border with transparency.
-
Tip: Spikes near OB/FVG/EQH/EQL often highlight key reactions or exhaustion.
Optional: High/Low Strength + Equilibrium (Group 05)
-
Show Swing Point labels (HH/HL/LH/LL) and Equilibrium.
-
Strong/Weak High/Low: Auto‑labels strength bias based on volume distribution around swing points.
-
Use Premium/Equilibrium/Discount coloring for quick range context.
Enable alerts that fit your playbook
-
Open TradingView’s “Add Alert” and select events:
-
Market Structure: BOS, CHOCH, CHOCH+ (Internal and Swing)
-
Order Blocks: new OBs and “Candle Entering OB”
-
FVG: Bullish/Bearish FVG
-
Zones: Accumulation/Distribution
-
EQH/EQL: Equal High/Low tags
-
Tip: Pair “Candle Entering OB” with your chosen mitigation rule for cleaner signals.
- Show only what you trade: Disable unused modules (FVG/AGP/Bubbles) to maximize speed.
- Hide the MTF dashboard when not needed; MTF computations pause when hidden.
- Reduce OB/FVG counts and label sizes on lower timeframes to minimize overlap.
- Prefer one higher‑timeframe confluence module (e.g., OB or FVG) at a time for clarity.
