System Overview
Multi-Confluence Scoring
Signals are generated using a sophisticated scoring system that evaluates 12+ technical factors simultaneously. Higher scores = higher probability setups.
Optimal Timeframes
The indicator is optimized for intraday scalping on specific timeframes. Parameters auto-adjust based on your chart.
★ Recommended timeframes with optimized parameters
Session Filter
Trade during high-volume market hours for best results. The session filter automatically identifies optimal trading windows.
Risk Management
Built-in ATR-based stop loss and take profit levels ensure consistent risk management on every trade.
Three Signal Systems Working Together
Scalp Signal Pro combines three independent signal systems for maximum confluence and accuracy:
Triple Confluence = Highest Probability
When all three systems align on the same candle (e.g., CALL + VCRE Bullish + VVRS Green Bar), you have the highest probability setup possible. These rare moments represent exceptional entry opportunities.
CALL Signals (Long Entry)
CALL signals indicate high-probability long entry opportunities when multiple bullish factors align. The green arrow (▲) appears below the candle with a detailed label showing the confluence score and risk:reward ratio.
Wait for Signal
When CALL appears, don't enter immediately. Wait for the candle to close.
Check EMA Cloud Retest
Best entries occur when price pulls back to touch or near the EMA cloud (green zone between EMA 8 and 21), then bounces.
Confirm with Volume
Look for increasing volume on the bounce. Low volume retests often fail.
Enter on Confirmation Candle
Enter when a green candle closes above the EMA cloud after the retest.
PRO TIP: The EMA Cloud Retest
The most profitable CALL entries come after a pullback to the EMA cloud. When you see a CALL signal, if price is extended far above the cloud, wait for a retest. This gives you a better entry price and tighter stop loss. The cloud acts as dynamic support - enter when price bounces off it with a bullish candle.
PUT Signals (Short Entry)
PUT signals indicate high-probability short entry opportunities when multiple bearish factors align. The red arrow (▼) appears above the candle with confluence score and risk:reward ratio displayed.
Wait for Signal
When PUT appears, let the signal candle close completely before acting.
Check EMA Cloud Retest
Best short entries occur when price rallies back up to the EMA cloud (now red zone), then gets rejected.
Look for Rejection Candle
Watch for bearish candle patterns at the cloud: shooting stars, bearish engulfing, or strong red candles.
Enter on Break Below
Enter when price breaks below the rejection candle's low with momentum.
PRO TIP: Failed Rallies = Best Shorts
The highest probability PUT trades come from failed rallies to resistance. After a PUT signal, if price tries to rally back but gets rejected at the EMA cloud or VWAP, that rejection is your entry. The cloud acts as dynamic resistance in downtrends. Combined with key levels (previous day high/low), these rejections have exceptional win rates.
VCRE Bullish & Bearish Signals
Volume-Confirmed Reversal Engine (VCRE)
The Bullish and Bearish signals use the VCRE system - a two-step confirmation process that identifies high-probability reversal points by combining price exhaustion with volume confirmation. Unlike simple indicators, VCRE requires PROOF of reversal before signaling.
Anchor Candle Detection
VCRE scans for "Anchor Candles" - candles where price closes beyond ALL previous N candles (default: 20). This extreme extension indicates potential exhaustion. The anchor must have 2x average volume to confirm institutional participation.
Confirmation Breakout
After anchor forms, VCRE waits for price to break back through the anchor's range within N bars (default: 3). This confirms that the opposite side has taken control. Only then does a signal appear.
Bullish signals appear when price confirms a reversal from an exhaustion low. Green "B" labels show below price with a star rating (3-5 stars).
- ✓ Price made extreme low (below ALL recent lows)
- ✓ High volume at exhaustion point
- ✓ Price broke back above anchor high
- ✓ Confirmation within time window
Bearish signals appear when price confirms a reversal from an exhaustion high. Red labels show above price with stars + "S".
- ✓ Price made extreme high (above ALL recent highs)
- ✓ High volume at exhaustion point
- ✓ Price broke back below anchor low
- ✓ Confirmation within time window
Star Rating System (3-5 Stars)
Each VCRE signal receives a quality score from 3 to 5 stars. Higher stars = higher probability setups. Focus on 4-5 star signals for best results.
| Rating | Conditions Met | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| ★★★ (3 Stars) | Base confirmation achieved | Trade with caution, smaller size |
| ★★★★ (4 Stars) | + Anchor OR confirmation had high volume | Good setup, normal position size |
| ★★★★★ (5 Stars) | + Both volumes strong + Trend aligned (200 EMA) | BEST setup, full position size |
PRO TIP: 5-Star Signals Are Gold
5-star signals mean ALL conditions are perfect: strong volume on anchor, strong volume on confirmation, AND the signal aligns with the 200 EMA trend direction. These are your highest conviction trades. When you see ★★★★★, consider sizing up.
VCRE Settings Explained
| Trading Style | Lookback | Confirm Within | Volume Mult |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scalping (1-5m) | 10-15 | 2-3 bars | 1.5x |
| Day Trading (15-60m) | 15-25 | 3-4 bars | 2.0x |
| Swing Trading (4H-D) | 20-30 | 3-5 bars | 2.0-2.5x |
How to Trade VCRE Signals
Wait for Complete Signal
When green "B" + stars appear, let the confirmation candle close completely. Don't enter mid-candle.
Check Star Rating
4-5 stars = full position. 3 stars = half position or wait for additional confluence.
Set Stop Loss
Place stop loss below the anchor candle's low. This is your invalidation level.
Set Take Profit
Target 1.5-2x the distance of your stop loss, or the next resistance level.
Wait for Complete Signal
When red stars + "S" appear, let the confirmation candle close completely.
Check Star Rating
Prioritize 4-5 star signals. 3-star shorts need additional resistance confluence.
Set Stop Loss
Place stop loss above the anchor candle's high. This is your invalidation level.
Set Take Profit
Target 1.5-2x the distance of your stop loss, or the next support level.
VCRE Setup Invalidation Rules
VCRE setups are automatically cancelled if any of these conditions occur:
RISK MANAGEMENT: Honor Your Stop
If price breaks through your stop loss level, the setup has failed. Do NOT move your stop or "hope" for a reversal. The anchor candle extreme is a hard invalidation level - respect it.
CALL/PUT vs VCRE Signals: When to Use Each
| Feature | CALL/PUT Signals | VCRE (B/S) Signals |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | Multi-indicator confluence scoring | Anchor + Volume + Confirmation |
| Best For | Trend continuation, momentum trades | Reversal catching, exhaustion plays |
| Signal Type | Score-based (6-14+ points) | Star-rated (3-5 stars) |
| Entry Style | With the trend | Counter-trend reversal |
| Stop Placement | ATR-based (1.0x ATR) | Below/above anchor candle |
| Use Together | ✓ Yes! CALL + Bullish VCRE or PUT + Bearish VCRE = A+ Setups | |
POWER MOVE: Double Confirmation
The highest probability trades occur when BOTH systems align. A CALL signal appearing with a 5-star Bullish VCRE signal = maximum confluence reversal. Similarly, PUT + 5-star Bearish VCRE = highest conviction short. These moments are rare but extremely profitable.
Visual Indicators
VCRE signals include visual aids to help you identify signals quickly:
VVRS™ - Vortex Volume Reversal System
Institutional-Grade Volume Anomaly Detection
The Vortex Volume Reversal System (VVRS™) is an advanced signal system that detects statistical volume anomalies combined with trend reversals. Unlike traditional volume indicators, VVRS uses Z-Score analysis to identify abnormal directional volume that often precedes major price moves.
Directional Volume Sampling
VVRS separates volume into buying volume (close > open) and selling volume (close < open) across a configurable timeframe. This reveals which side is truly dominating.
Z-Score Anomaly Detection
Each volume reading is converted to a Z-Score (standard deviations from mean). When Z-Score exceeds the threshold (default 4.5), an "anomaly" is detected - institutional activity is likely present.
Dynamic Trend Confirmation
After detecting a volume anomaly, VVRS waits for the SuperTrend-based trend indicator to flip direction. This confirms the reversal with price action.
Signal Generation
Only when BOTH conditions align (volume anomaly + trend flip within the confirmation window) does VVRS generate a signal - displayed as a colored bar.
A bright green colored bar appears when VVRS detects a bullish reversal. This occurs after abnormal selling volume is detected during a downtrend, followed by a trend flip upward.
- ✓ Sellers exhausted (abnormal selling volume)
- ✓ Volume spike confirmed vs average
- ✓ Trend direction changed to bullish
- ✓ Confirmation within time window
A bright red colored bar appears when VVRS detects a bearish reversal. This occurs after abnormal buying volume is detected during an uptrend, followed by a trend flip downward.
- ✓ Buyers exhausted (abnormal buying volume)
- ✓ Volume spike confirmed vs average
- ✓ Trend direction changed to bearish
- ✓ Confirmation within time window
Volume Anomaly Markers (Diamonds)
Before a full signal triggers, VVRS shows diamond markers (⬥) when volume anomalies are detected. These are early warning indicators that a reversal may be forming.
PRO TIP: Diamond Markers as Pre-Signals
Diamond markers appear BEFORE the main bar color signal. When you see a cluster of diamonds, prepare for a potential reversal. The transparency of diamonds indicates signal strength - darker diamonds = higher Z-Score = stronger anomaly. Use diamonds to plan entries ahead of confirmation.
VVRS Settings Explained
| Setting | Default | Description | Tuning Guide |
|---|---|---|---|
| ⏱ Sampling Timeframe | 15 min | Timeframe for volume analysis | Lower = more responsive, Higher = smoother |
| 📈 Analysis Period | 200 | Lookback for volume statistics | Increase for more stable baseline |
| 🎯 Detection Threshold | 4.5 | Z-Score threshold for anomaly | Higher = fewer, better signals (4-6 recommended) |
| ⚡ Volume Spike Filter | 2.0x | Volume vs average multiplier | Increase to 2.5-3x for stricter filtering |
| 📐 ATR Sensitivity | 2.0 | SuperTrend ATR multiplier | Higher = wider bands, fewer flips |
| 🔄 Trend Lookback | 10 | Period for trend calculation | Lower = faster trend changes |
| 🕐 Confirmation Window | 50 | Max bars between anomaly & flip | 0 = unlimited, 30-50 recommended |
VVRS vs VCRE: When to Use Each
| Aspect | VVRS System | VCRE System |
|---|---|---|
| Detection Method | Statistical volume anomalies (Z-Score) | Price exhaustion breakouts |
| Signal Type | Bar color (green/red) | Labels with star ratings |
| Best For | Trend reversals with volume confirmation | Exhaustion reversals with price confirmation |
| Signal Frequency | Less frequent (stricter) | More frequent |
| Early Warning | Yes (diamond markers) | No |
MAXIMUM CONFLUENCE: Triple Signal Alignment
The highest probability trades occur when ALL THREE systems align: A CALL/PUT signal + VCRE 5-star signal + VVRS bar color signal = ultimate confluence. When you see a VVRS green bar, a VCRE "B" label, AND a CALL signal all on the same candle - this is an exceptional entry opportunity with multiple independent confirmations.

MTF Analysis Panel
Multi-Timeframe Dashboard
The MTF panel shows momentum, sentiment, and volatility across 5 configurable timeframes. Use it to confirm your bias before entering trades.
Momentum (0-200)
100 = Neutral | Above 100 = Bullish momentum | Below 100 = Bearish momentum. Look for alignment across timeframes. Green (>120) = Strong bullish. Red (<80) = Strong bearish.
Sentiment (0-100)
50 = Neutral | Above 55 = Bullish sentiment | Below 45 = Bearish sentiment. Based on EMA positioning, volume patterns, and price structure.
Volatility (0-100)
Lower is better | <30 = Low volatility (ideal) | 30-60 = Normal | >60 = High volatility (caution). Trade when volatility is controlled for tighter stops.
PRO TIP: MTF Alignment
The best trades happen when all timeframes are aligned. For CALL trades, look for all momentum values above 100 and sentiment above 55. For PUT trades, look for momentum below 100 and sentiment below 45. When higher timeframes (1H, 4H, D) disagree with lower timeframes, reduce position size or skip the trade.
EMA Cloud Strategy
The EMA Cloud Explained
The EMA cloud is formed between EMA 8 (fast) and EMA 21 (mid). It acts as a dynamic support/resistance zone that moves with price. Understanding how to use it is KEY to profitable entries.
When EMA 8 is above EMA 21, the cloud is green = BULLISH BIAS
Cloud = Support Zone
Price pulling back to the green cloud is a buying opportunity, not a sell signal.
Wait for Touch
Don't chase. Let price come to the cloud. The best entries are when a candle wick touches the cloud.
Enter on Bounce
When a bullish candle closes above the cloud after touching it, that's your entry. Stop loss below the cloud.
When EMA 8 is below EMA 21, the cloud is red = BEARISH BIAS
Cloud = Resistance Zone
Price rallying to the red cloud is a shorting opportunity, not a buy signal.
Wait for Rejection
Don't short into strength. Wait for price to rally into the cloud and show rejection (wick, doji, bearish engulf).
Enter on Rejection
When a bearish candle closes below the cloud after testing it, that's your entry. Stop loss above the cloud.
When NOT to Trade the Cloud
Avoid trading when the cloud is very thin (EMAs almost touching) - this indicates indecision and choppy price action. Also avoid when price is moving sideways through the cloud repeatedly. Wait for clean separations between EMAs.
Pro Trading Strategies
The Retest Entry
The highest probability setup. Never chase signals - always wait for a retest.
Signal appears (CALL or PUT)
Wait for pullback to EMA cloud
Enter on bounce/rejection candle
Stop loss other side of cloud
Key Level Confluence
Combine signals with previous day high/low and weekly levels for maximum edge.
Identify nearby key levels (cyan, orange, pink lines)
Wait for signal near these levels
CALL at support levels / PUT at resistance
Target the next key level
Double Signal Power
When CALL/PUT and B signals align, you have the highest conviction setup.
Wait for CALL + Bullish B together
Or PUT + Bearish B together
Increase position size (2x normal)
Hold for extended target (2x ATR)
MTF Alignment Trade
Only trade when all timeframes agree. Patience = Profits.
Check MTF panel bias (BULLISH/BEARISH)
All momentum >100 for longs / <100 for shorts
Volatility <50 across timeframes
Take signal only when aligned
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Chasing Signals
Entering immediately when a signal appears without waiting for a retest. Price often pulls back - patience gets better entries.
Ignoring MTF
Taking trades when higher timeframes disagree. If the daily is bearish, long scalps have lower probability.
Trading Lunch Hours
11 AM - 2 PM EST is the "chop zone". Low volume = false signals. Stick to morning and afternoon sessions.
Oversizing on Low Scores
Score of 6 ≠ Score of 14. Lower scores = smaller positions. Only size up on high confluence setups.
Recommended Settings
Conservative (Recommended)
Best for beginners and consistent profitability. Fewer signals, higher win rate.
Aggressive
For experienced traders who can filter signals manually. More opportunities.
Sniper Mode
Ultra-selective. Only the highest probability setups. Quality over quantity.
