Quick Start

Follow these steps to set up and trade with PMALGO® – Price Action Suite efficiently.1) Add the indicator to your chart

  • Open TradingView, search for “PMALGO® – Price Action Suite”, and add it to your chart.

  • Confirm “Overlay = true” visuals appear on price.

Pick your Color Theme

  • 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.


Performance tips:
  • 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.
