Read every signal like a pro.

What It Is

Fluid Flow Model watches every candle for a Flow Shift — the moment price closes through the last meaningful swing high or low, flipping structure bullish or bearish. When one fires, the model checks it against similar setups earlier on the same chart, updates the FLUID FLOW panel with a bias read, and draws the full trade — entry, a three-tier profit target, and a stop-loss. It is a manual, discretionary tool: nothing places, trails, or closes a trade for you.

How a Signal Forms

1. 1

   A Flow Shift fires

   Close breaks the last confirmed swing high (bullish) or swing low (bearish) — a candle has to close past it, so a random wick can’t fake it out.

2. 2

   The model checks similar setups

   It compares this shift’s volume, momentum, and speed against earlier setups on the same chart — how they looked going in.

3. 3

   The panel updates

   The FLUID FLOW panel in the corner flips to Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral for the direction the shift just broke.

4. 4

   The full trade draws

   Entry, a three-tier TP1/TP2/TP3 box, and a structural stop-loss all draw immediately — no waiting, no filtering.

Reading the Chart

A signal draws five things at once, anchored to the close that triggered the Flow Shift:

• Labels update live — a hit level flips to “Take Profit 1 Hit” or “Stop Loss Hit” in place.
• The last 10 signals stay on the chart. Older boxes and lines clear automatically.
• The stop-loss is static once drawn — nothing trails or moves it for you.

The Side Panel

Bottom-right of the chart, a small table gives you the model’s current read at a glance:

How to Trade It

This is the actual workflow, start to finish — the same four checks every time a signal fires:

1. 1

   Check the panel for direction

   A Flow Shift fires and the FLUID FLOW panel confirms Bullish or Bearish — that’s your first read before anything else.

2. 2

   Look for confluence

   Is there an Order Block or an unfilled Fair Value Gap near this entry — ideally on a higher timeframe too? If yes, the setup is stronger. If the signal is just floating with nothing nearby, treat it with more caution.

3. 3

   Respect the stop and targets as drawn

   The stop is structural and already capped by ATR. The targets are already placed at your R-multiples. Don’t move either one off a feeling mid-trade.

4. 4

   Execute and let the R-multiples work

   The model draws it, you execute it. The whole point is taking the emotional decision-making out — let TP1/TP2/TP3 play out the way they’re built to.

Trade Management

This is the part the indicator deliberately leaves to you. Once a stop-loss draws, it does not move — there is no auto-breakeven, no trailing, no partial-close logic running behind the scenes.

• Size from the stop, not a fixed lot. The distance from Entry to Stop Loss is one R — risk a fixed percentage of account equity per R, every trade.
• Decide your exit style before you’re in the trade. Scale out at each target and let a runner past TP3, or treat TP3 as your single exit and use TP1/TP2 as progress markers. Either works — switching mid-trade doesn’t.
• The stop is your real max loss, not a suggestion. It’s already capped by Max Stop Distance, so widening it manually removes that protection.
• Check for Order Block or Fair Value Gap confluence near the entry before taking it. A signal sitting right on an untested OB or an unfilled higher-timeframe FVG is a stronger trade than one floating in open space.

Setting Up Alerts

1. Right-click the chart → Add Alert, or open the Alerts panel and hit Create Alert.
2. Condition → select Fluid Flow Model. Pick a trigger — Bullish/Bearish Flow Shift, TP1/TP2/TP3 Hit, Stop Loss Hit — or use “Any alert() function call” to catch all of them.
3. Expiration → set to Open-ended so it doesn’t quietly lapse.
4. Save. Glance at the chart before acting on a mobile push, same as any signal.
