One indicator. A plan before every trade.

Yes, it’s free, and no, you pay nothing today. The Compass Founding Beta is free for 60 days. There is no card to enter, no charge and nothing to cancel; access simply ends after 60 days. Compass is planned for the TradingView Marketplace at $35 a month, subject to TradingView's approval, and you would choose then whether to subscribe there.

No. We don’t collect a card, nothing is charged automatically, and there is no upsell during the beta. On day 60 your access simply ends. If and when Compass launches on the TradingView Marketplace, you can choose whether to subscribe there; nothing happens unless you do.

Your beta access has ended automatically. We send a reminder at day 45, there is nothing to cancel and you are never charged. Compass is planned to launch on the TradingView Marketplace at $35 a month, planned for early 2027 and subject to TradingView's approval. Beta members can join the launch list to hear first when it is available.

We grant every seat by hand to your TradingView username, and we want to support each beta user well: setup help, answers to questions and reading your feedback. Wave 2, with another 500 seats, opens after Wave 1. The seat count shown is the real number.

When all 500 Wave 1 seats are taken, the page switches to the waitlist for Wave 2, which will also have 500 seats. Join the waitlist with the same form and we will email you when Wave 2 opens. Seat counts are real; we do not add urgency beyond the number shown.

Compass is a TradingView indicator from Trading Decisions Lab that gives you one clear trade plan at a time. Each signal shows a buy or sell label with the entry, stop and target already drawn, so you know your risk before you click. It covers four Nasdaq day-trade signals, TREND++ (strongest trend mornings), BREAK (trend breakout), MR (back to value) and TREND+ (range-expansion trend), plus swing call alerts on QQQ, SPY and SPX.

Compass includes one experimental intraday signal, TREND (a breakout-retest setup). Since version 6.32 it is on by default, but it now only fires on its highest-quality (“A+”) breakouts. It is not part of any published result on this site. Without that filter it was roughly break-even over the five-year backtest (625 trades, profit factor 1.07). With it, the same backtest kept 186 trades with a profit factor of 1.53, but we chose the filter using that same data, so treat it as unproven until it holds up on new data. You can switch it off in the settings.

We ran three popular setups on the same Nasdaq futures data as Compass (Oct 2021 – Sep 2026) with the same costs. Per Micro Nasdaq contract, Compass made +$21,925 with a profit factor of 1.67 and a worst drop of −$2,559. The textbook opening range breakout made +$13,622 (profit factor 1.11, worst drop −$9,072); the 8:30–9:30 range model made more, +$25,092, but with a −$4,657 worst drop. In the prop-firm simulator ($50k, 2 MNQ, $2,000 trailing drawdown, $500 daily limit), 93% of Compass accounts were still open after 60 days, against 33–45% for the others. Compass’s rules were developed on this same period, which favours it. Backtested, hypothetical results; our fixed-rule versions of each strategy.

Yes. Compass was built for newer traders who are overwhelmed by stacking indicators. There is nothing to tune: add it to a 2-minute chart, set one alert, and each signal arrives with its stop and target drawn. You still need to know how to place an order with a stop at your broker.

No, not on closed bars. A Compass signal is confirmed only when its 2-minute bar closes, and the alert fires then. After that, the label, entry, stop and target stay where they were drawn. While a bar is still forming, a possible signal can appear or disappear, so always wait for the close.

No indicator can promise that, and Compass does not. Most evaluations fail on drawdown or daily-loss rules, not on a missing strategy. Compass helps by drawing a fixed stop before every entry, taking one trade at a time and giving clear sizing rules. Following the plan is still your decision.

It replays every backtested Compass day-trade signal, October 1, 2021 to September 9, 2026 (when the data ends), through the rules you enter, starting on every trading day. Your daily loss limit stops you for the rest of that day, and your max drawdown ends the account; losses are checked on open trades, not only closed ones. Each evaluation gets up to 3, 6 or 12 months, and only starts with that much data after them are scored; more recent starts are shown as too recent to judge. Results are hypothetical, and every prop firm’s rules vary, so check yours.

In the $10,000 backtest, the worst drop from a peak was −9.2% (−$934): from $10,195 on Oct 26, 2021 to $9,261 on Nov 10, 2021, measured after every closed trade. It reached a new high on Dec 16, 2021. The largest drop in dollars came later, in summer 2026: −$2,423 (−3.1%), Jun 25 to Jul 28, 2026. Backtested, not live; real drawdowns can be deeper.

Yes. Swing calls check QQQ, SPY and SPX near the close, around 3:55 PM ET, and exit on rules within about 8 trading days, so they fit around a job. TradingView alerts can go to your phone, and day-trade signals arrive as a single alert with the plan already drawn.

Day-trade signals run on a 2-minute chart and were tested on Nasdaq-100 futures (NQ, and its Micro, MNQ) from October 1, 2021 to September 9, 2026, when the data ends. Swing calls cover QQQ, SPY and SPX on the daily close. Published day-trade results come from NQ; swing call results come from QQQ and SPY options.

TradingView is moving paid access to invite-only scripts onto its own Marketplace, and Compass is waiting to be listed there. Until Compass is listed there, we are running a free Founding Beta: 500 seats per wave, 60 days of full access, and feedback from real traders before the planned launch.

Apply with your exact TradingView username, which is case-sensitive. We review every application by hand and grant access, usually within 24 hours, then email setup steps. In TradingView, open Indicators, then Invite-only scripts, and add Compass to a 2-minute chart. You get 60 days of full access, with a reminder at day 45.

No. Beta access is personal and tied to the TradingView username you submit, and it cannot be transferred or shared. Each person who wants to try Compass should apply with their own username. Access may be revoked for sharing, resale or misuse, and the beta itself may change or end.

No. The Founding Beta is once per person. We check for repeat applications, and duplicates may be declined or removed. After the beta, Compass is planned for the TradingView Marketplace.
