Quick Start — Swing & Options Edge
Your 5 indicators, suggested chart layout, and first trade walkthrough.
Your 5 Indicators
- Macro Compass — Weekly directional bias system using 5 macro gates
- Formation Scanner — Multi-symbol daily scanner with STRAT-based pattern scoring
- Trade Execution Suite — Entry zone, ATR stop, and TP levels on your working chart
- Wave Oscillator Confluence Pro — 5-factor momentum and timing confirmation
- MTF Reaction & S/R Zones — Multi-timeframe support and resistance zone stacking
Suggested Chart Layout
- Tab 1 — Weekly Chart: SPY or ES with Macro Compass. Check once per week.
- Tab 2 — Daily Chart: Formation Scanner on daily timeframe for scanning setups.
- Tab 3 — Working Chart (4H or 1H): Trade Execution Suite overlay + MTF Reaction Zones + Wave Oscillator panel below.
The 3-Step Workflow
Step 1 — Macro Compass: Get Directional Bias
Open your weekly SPY or ES chart with Macro Compass. Check the gate count:
- 3+ gates aligned bullish → Bias is long for the week. Focus on long setups.
- 3+ gates aligned bearish → Bias is short. Focus on short setups.
- 0–2 gates → No clear macro edge. Consider sitting out or trading only the highest-quality scanner setups.
Step 2 — Formation Scanner: Find Setups
Switch to the Formation Scanner on a daily chart. Cycle through sector buckets relevant to your macro bias. Filter for:
- Confidence: ⭐⭐ or higher
- Score: 60 or above
- Signal direction matching your macro bias (LONG if bullish, SHORT if bearish)
Build a watchlist of 3–5 top-rated setups.
Step 3 — Execute: Confirm and Enter
For each watchlist ticker, drop to a 4H or 1H chart. Add MTF Reaction Zones and Wave Oscillator. Wait for:
- Zone stacking near the scanner entry price (MTF zones converging)
- A Wave Oscillator diamond signal (Moderate or Strong) in your direction
When both align, add Trade Execution Suite to review the auto-plotted entry zone, ATR stop, and TP levels. If the R:R is acceptable, execute. Manage the trade using the plotted levels.
Recommended Timeframes
- Macro analysis: Weekly
