Welcome to Trading Decisions Lab
What TDL is, the three tiers, and the TDL philosophy.
What is Trading Decisions Lab?
Trading Decisions Lab (TDL) is a suite of 10 professional-grade TradingView indicators designed for traders who want a complete, rules-driven system — not just another single-purpose tool. Each indicator is built to work standalone or as part of a coordinated workflow, covering macro analysis, stock scanning, execution management, volume delta, trend confirmation, and more.
The Three Tiers
TDL is organized into three subscription tiers. Each tier builds on the last:
| Tier | Indicators Included | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Swing & Options Edge | Macro Compass, Formation Scanner, Trade Execution Suite, Wave Oscillator Confluence Pro, MTF Reaction & S/R Zones | Swing traders, options players, part-time traders who check charts 1–2x per day |
| Futures & Day Trading Edge | Institutional Edge Algo v8.5, Delta Flow Pro, Adaptive Weighted Algo, Wave Oscillator Confluence Pro, HMA Concavity Pro | Active futures and intraday traders focused on NQ, ES, YM, and major contracts |
| Institutional Suite | All 10 indicators | Full-time traders who want the complete macro-to-execution system |
The TDL Philosophy
TDL is built on three principles:
- Confluence-based: No single indicator fires a signal in isolation. The system is designed for multiple independent factors to align before you act. More confluence = higher conviction = better risk-adjusted outcomes.
- Rules-driven: Every indicator produces objective, quantified outputs — Edge Scores, gate counts, confluence scores, and bar classifications. There is no guesswork about what the indicator is telling you.
- No repainting: All signals are based on confirmed bar data. What you see on the chart is what was actually signalled in real time.
What TDL Is NOT
- Not financial advice — nothing in TDL constitutes a recommendation to buy or sell any security
- Not a signal service — there are no trade alerts pushed to you; you interpret the indicators and make your own decisions
- Not a bot — indicators do not execute trades; they visualize information
- Not a guaranteed system — past indicator performance does not guarantee future results
