What it means:

  • Multiple indicators agree on upward movement
  • Range Filter shows buy zone
  • RSI confirms momentum not overbought

Confluence Score

The confluence score indicates how many indicators agree on the signal direction. Higher scores mean stronger signals.

7/7 Extremely Strong Very High (85-90%) ✓ High confidence entry
5-6/7 Strong High (75-85%) ✓ Good entry opportunity
4/7 Moderate Medium (65-75%) ⚠ Entry with caution
3/7 Weak Lower (55-65%) ⚠ Wait for confirmation
<3/7 Very Weak Low (<55%) ✗ Avoid - conflicting signals

Peak Profit Detection

What are Peak Labels?

Peak labels appear when the indicator detects a potential trend reversal - the optimal moment to close your position and take profits.

Peak BUY Label (🟢 PEAK):

  • Appears at the top of an uptrend
  • Suggests downtrend may be starting
  • Action: Close long positions, consider entering short

Peak SELL Label (🔴 PEAK):

  • Appears at the bottom of a downtrend
  • Suggests uptrend may be starting
  • Action: Close short positions, consider entering long

Component Indicators

RSI (Relative Strength Index)

Measures momentum and identifies overbought/oversold conditions.

  • RSI > 70: Overbought - potential reversal down
  • RSI < 30: Oversold - potential reversal up
  • RSI 40-60: Neutral zone - look for other confirmations

MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)

Identifies trend direction and momentum strength.

  • Bullish Crossover: MACD line crosses above signal line → BUY signal
  • Bearish Crossover: MACD line crosses below signal line → SELL signal
  • Histogram: Larger bars = stronger momentum

Range Filter

Advanced trend detection system based on volatility (ATR).

  • Blue Zone: Bullish trend - favor BUY signals
  • Red Zone: Bearish trend - favor SELL signals
  • Color Change: Trend reversal - peak profit opportunity

EMA (Exponential Moving Average)

Shows trend direction and acts as dynamic support/resistance.

  • Price above EMA: Bullish trend
  • Price below EMA: Bearish trend
  • EMA crossover: Trend change confirmation

Signal Quality Checklist

Before entering a trade based on a signal, verify these conditions:

Check What to Look For Importance
✓ Confluence Score Minimum 4/7 (preferably 5+) Critical
✓ Range Filter Matches signal direction Critical
✓ Higher Timeframe Trend aligns on M15/H1 High
✓ Support/Resistance Not at major level counter to signal High
✓ RSI Not in extreme zone (>70 or <30) Medium
✓ Volume Above average (if visible) Medium
✓ News Events No major news in next hour Medium

False Signal Identification

Avoid signals when:

Multi-Timeframe Confirmation

For highest accuracy, confirm M5 signals with higher timeframes:

  1. Check M15 chart: Is the trend direction the same?
  2. Check H1 chart: Are we in an uptrend/downtrend?
  3. Look for alignment: All timeframes should show similar direction

Example: M5 shows BUY signal → Check M15 (should be blue/bullish) → Check H1 (should be uptrending) → If all align = high confidence trade
