1. Getting Started
Your Invite-Only Access
CSI-Pro+ is an exclusive, invite-only indicator system. It is not available on the public TradingView marketplace — only users specifically granted access can use it. Your access is personal and linked directly to your TradingView username. It cannot be shared or transferred to other accounts.
What You Receive
Your purchase includes two indicators that work together:
| Indicator | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Confluence Regime Intelligence PRO+ | The main overlay — BUY/SELL labels, trend lines, market structure markers, and the 26-row information dashboard. On the chart it shows as CSI Pro. |
| CRI-Pro+ Confluence Pane [CEI+PRG] | The Confluence Pane — two specialized oscillators (CEI and PRG) for identifying momentum exhaustion and reversal timing. On the chart it shows as CEI & PRG [FrontierAlgo]. |
CSI Pro.
Version 8.0 Ultra — How to Confirm You Have It
Everything in this manual describes v8.0 Ultra. You can confirm the version from the chart itself — you never have to check a settings screen:
| Where | What it should read |
|---|---|
| Dashboard title row (top of the panel) | ⚡ CSI v8.0 Ultra |
| Main indicator name on the chart | CSI Pro |
| Confluence Pane info-table header | ⚡ CSI Ultra v8.0 |
| Every alert message text | Begins with CSI v8.0: |
Step-by-Step Setup
Step 1: Find Your TradingView Username. Click your profile icon in TradingView’s top-right corner. Your username also appears in your profile URL: tradingview.com/u/YOUR_USERNAME. It’s case-sensitive, and you do not include the @ symbol — you’ll need it exactly as written for the next step.
Step 2: Claim Your Indicator in Your Whop Dashboard. Access isn’t granted automatically — you claim it after checkout, and it only takes a moment:
- Open your Whop dashboard and go to this product (its access page)
- Enter your exact TradingView username from Step 1 (case-sensitive, no @ symbol), then click Set
- Click Claim Indicators — this links CSI Pro+ to your TradingView account
Step 3: Add the Indicators.
- Open any chart in TradingView
- Click the “Indicators” button at the top (or press the “/” key)
- Click the “Invite-only scripts” tab on the left (refresh the page if your indicators don’t appear right away after claiming)
- Click “Confluence Regime Intelligence PRO+” to add the main indicator
- Repeat and add “CRI-Pro+ Confluence Pane [CEI+PRG]” for the oscillator panel
Step 4: Verify Everything Works. You should see signal labels on your chart, colored trend lines (blue, orange, purple), a 26-row information dashboard in the top-right corner headed ⚡ CSI v8.0 Ultra, and the Confluence Pane oscillators below your chart.
Indicator Not Showing Up?
Once you’ve claimed it, CSI Pro+ appears under Indicators → Invite-only scripts (refresh the page if it doesn’t show immediately). If it still isn’t there, the cause is almost always the username you entered. Email support@frontieralgo.com (or ask our AI assistant) with your TradingView username and your Whop order ID and we’ll sort it out.
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Invite-only tab is empty after claiming | Refresh the page; confirm you’re logged into the same TradingView account whose username you claimed with; hard-refresh (Ctrl+F5 / Cmd+Shift+R) |
| You think the wrong username was claimed | Re-open your Whop dashboard, enter the correct case-sensitive TradingView username, click Set, then Claim Indicators again |
| Still no access | Clear browser cache, try a different browser, then email support@frontieralgo.com with your TradingView username and Whop order ID |
2. First Time User Guide
What to Expect on First Load
When you first add CSI-Pro+ to a chart, the indicator needs enough history for its longest average to form — the 200-period EMA, so roughly 200+ bars. If you're viewing a chart with less data, zoom out or scroll left to load more history. The dashboard only appears on the most recent (rightmost) bar — you won't see it when viewing historical data.
CSI-Pro+ is designed to be selective. Depending on market conditions and your timeframe, you might see several signals per day on a 15-minute chart, or only a few per week on a daily chart. Fewer, higher-quality signals is the design goal.
Suggested Learning Period
| Period | Activity |
|---|---|
| First Week | Add CSI-Pro+ to your charts and simply observe. Watch how signals form, when they appear, and how price behaves afterward. Don't trade yet — just learn. |
| Week 2–3 | Use TradingView's Paper Trading feature or a demo account to practice. When a signal appears, execute the trade virtually. Track your results. |
| Week 4+ | Review your paper trading results. If you're comfortable with how the signals work for your trading style, consider small position sizes with real capital. |
What Markets Does CSI-Pro+ Work On?
CSI-Pro+ works on any symbol, any timeframe. Stocks, forex, crypto, futures, indices — if you can chart it, CSI-Pro+ can analyze it. Like any technical analysis tool, it works best on instruments with reasonable liquidity and normal spreads.
3. Understanding Your Signals
How the Confidence Score Is Built
CSI-Pro+ does not tally up how many indicators happen to be pointing the same way. It scores the case for each direction — bullish and bearish are scored separately, on every bar, and each one ends up as a number from 0 to 100.
Twelve contributions feed that score. Each one carries its own weight, so a strong piece of evidence moves the score more than a weak one does:
| # | Contribution | What it looks at |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Fisher Transform | Price stretched to an extreme reading |
| 2 | RSI | Momentum at an overbought or oversold level |
| 3 | StochRSI | Faster momentum at an extreme |
| 4 | Market Structure | Whether the last break of structure was bullish or bearish |
| 5 | Multi-Timeframe | Whether both higher timeframes agree with the direction |
| 6 | Volume | A volume surge on a bar moving in that direction |
| 7 | MRO | Momentum Regime Oscillator at an extreme and accelerating |
| 8 | CEI reversal gauge | Continuous — scales with how likely a cycle reversal looks, not a simple on/off |
| 9 | PRG reversal gauge | Continuous — scales with how likely a mean-reversion turn looks |
| 10 | Adaptive Trend line | Trend direction and whether price is on the right side of the line |
| 11 | Blended ML score | Continuous — contributes on a sliding scale according to how far the combined AI reading leans bullish or bearish; there is no on/off threshold |
| 12 | HMM regime | Whether the hidden-state model currently reads BULL or BEAR |
Those contributions are added up and then normalised to a 0–100 scale for each side. That is the raw confidence. It is not a count, and it is not a probability of a trade working — it is a measure of how strong the case is right now, on this chart, on this bar.
The Five Context Multipliers
The raw score is then adjusted up or down by five context checks, and the result is held inside 0–100:
- Trend regime — a bullish score is thinned in a confirmed downtrend (and harder the stronger the trend reads on ADX), and both sides are thinned in high volatility
- Kernel slope — a small lift when the kernel-regression trend agrees with the direction, a small cut when it disagrees
- Divergence support — a lift when a regular RSI/Fisher divergence backs the direction. Divergence only acts as a multiplier; it is never one of the twelve additive contributions
- Fisher-reversal depth — scales with how deep into its extreme the Fisher reading has gone before turning
- Counter-trend dampener — cuts scores that fade the EMA20/50 trend (sells in a grinding uptrend, buys in a grinding downtrend). This one is yours to tune:
Counter-Trend Dampenerin the Confidence Scoring group, range 0.5 to 1.0, default 0.80. Set it to 1.0 to switch the dampening off entirely; lower it to thin out counter-trend signals harder.
Conf row is what actually decides which label prints.
Adaptive Feature Weights — CSI-Pro+ Keeps Score On Itself
Seven of the twelve contributions — Fisher, RSI, StochRSI, Market Structure, Multi-Timeframe, Volume and MRO — carry weights that are not fixed. They adapt. This is on by default (Adaptive Feature Weights, Advanced ML group).
Here is what it does, in plain terms. Every time one of those seven components leans meaningfully one way, CSI-Pro+ remembers the lean. A set number of bars later it looks at what price actually did and marks that read right or wrong. Components whose recent reads have been working get more say in the score; components that have been misreading this particular chart get less.
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| How far ahead it grades | Adaptive Horizon (bars) — default 8 bars, adjustable 3–20 |
| How long it remembers | Adaptive Memory (EMA bars) — default 100 bars of effective memory, adjustable 20–500. Older results fade rather than dropping off a cliff. |
| Minimum sample before it adapts | 20 scored observations for that component. Below that, the component uses its base weight unchanged. |
| Reads that are ignored | A component sitting close to neutral abstains — it is not scored either way, so indecision never counts as a right or wrong call. |
| Safety limits | The adjustment is clamped at both ends. No component can take over the score, and none can be shut out of it. |
Because it adapts per chart, the same component can carry different weight on EURUSD than it does on your NASDAQ chart — which is the point.
Hit% F/R/St/Str and Hit% MTF/V/MRO publish the live hit-rate behind each of the seven components, plus the sample size. See section 4.
Prefer fixed weights? Turn Adaptive Feature Weights off in Advanced ML and every component reverts to its base weight and stays there.
Signal Labels Explained
Five label texts can print on your chart. Each one is two lines: ◆ BUY or ◆ SELL on the first line, and the tier on the second. BUY labels print below the bar, SELL labels print above it. The label itself never carries a number — the score lives in the dashboard, not on the chart.
| Second line reads | What It Means | Colour |
|---|---|---|
TRIPLE CONF | The rarest label. A CEI reversal, a PRG high-probability reading and a Fisher cross all landed within a bar of each other, and the raw confidence was already at MEDIUM or better before the multipliers were applied. A 20-bar cooldown stops these clustering. | White |
DUAL CONF | A Fisher cross plus either the CEI or the PRG gauge, with the EMA20/50 trend agreeing. Suppressed if a TRIPLE CONF has just fired. Also on a 20-bar cooldown. | Aqua (buy) / magenta (sell) |
HIGH | A regular signal whose confidence score cleared the HIGH tier | Gold |
MEDIUM | A regular signal whose confidence score cleared the MEDIUM tier | Green (buy) / red (sell) |
LOW | A regular signal below the MEDIUM tier. Hidden by default — see below. | Pale green / pale red |
A regular HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW label gains a [DIV] suffix when a divergence supports it — so the second line reads HIGH [DIV]. TRIPLE CONF and DUAL CONF labels never carry the suffix.
Labels don't stack. Because DUAL and TRIPLE confluence can confirm a bar after a regular label already printed, CSI-Pro+ removes the superseded lower-tier label when the upgrade arrives within the Signal Upgrade Window (bars) (default 3, Signal Settings group). You get one label for the event, at the highest tier it reached, instead of two overlapping ones.
Two extra markers ride alongside the labels: a diamond below/above the bar on every TRIPLE CONF, and a smaller circle on every DUAL CONF.
What "Confidence" Really Means — And Where to Change the Tiers
The tier on a regular label is decided by where the 0–100 score lands against two cut-offs. Both are settings you control, in the Confidence Scoring group:
| Tier | Score needed | Setting name | Range you can set |
|---|---|---|---|
| HIGH | 65 or above (default) | Confidence Tier - HIGH | 50 to 95 |
| MEDIUM | 45 or above (default) | Confidence Tier - MEDIUM | 20 to 70 |
| LOW | Anything below the MEDIUM cut-off | — | — |
To change them: open the indicator settings (gear icon next to CSI Pro on your chart), scroll to the Confidence Scoring group, and edit the two tier values. Raising them makes labels rarer and stricter; lowering them makes labels more frequent and looser. Nothing else in the engine changes — you are only moving the lines the score is measured against.
LOW labels are hidden by default. The Hide Low Confidence Signals setting (Signal Settings group) ships ON, so only MEDIUM and above print. Turn it off if you want to see everything the engine flags.
Non-Repainting Behaviour
Two separate things are true here, and they are worth keeping straight.
- Bar close.
Require Bar Close (Non-Repaint)is ON by default. With it on, a label prints once the bar has closed and stays where it printed. - Higher timeframes. CSI-Pro+'s higher-timeframe confirmation is non-repainting in realtime. That is a v8 change, and it comes with an honest trade-off: because v8 no longer looks ahead on history, historical labels sit differently than they did in v7. If you compare an old screenshot to a chart today, expect some historical labels to have moved.
Require Bar Close off means you are watching signals form intrabar, and an intrabar signal can still change before the bar closes.
Signals Don't Always Line Up Perfectly — And That's OK
You may notice that sometimes a BUY signal appears when not everything in the dashboard is green, or a SELL signal appears when conditions seem mixed. This is normal and expected. Markets are complex, and perfect alignment of every indicator rarely happens. The scoring engine is built for exactly that — it weighs a partial, imperfect picture and asks how strong the case is, rather than demanding that everything line up.
4. The Dashboard
The dashboard appears in the top-right corner of your chart when you are viewing the current bar. It shows you exactly what CSI-Pro+'s engine is seeing in real time. In v8.0 Ultra it has 26 rows: a title row and 25 readouts.
The 26 Rows, Top to Bottom
Row names below are exactly as they appear on your chart.
| Row | Name | What it means and how to use it |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | ⚡ CSI v8.0 Ultra | Title bar. Confirms the version you are running. |
| 1 | Regime | Strong Uptrend, Strong Downtrend, High Volatility, or Range. This is the top-level read on market mode, and it feeds the regime multiplier that thins counter-regime scores. |
| 2 | HMM State | BULL, BEAR or NEUTRAL, with the model's confidence in that state as a percentage — e.g. BULL (78%). Frequent flipping here is a sign of an indecisive market. |
| 3 | ADX | Trend strength. Turns gold once it clears your Trend Threshold, which is the visual cue that the market is trending rather than ranging. |
| 4 | Fisher | The core trigger indicator. Shows the current value plus, in brackets, the live threshold it has to beat — e.g. -1.82 [±1.6]. The threshold widens on its own in volatile conditions when volatility-adjusted thresholds are on. |
| 5 | RSI | Momentum on the familiar 0–100 scale. Coloured against the live overbought/oversold levels rather than fixed ones. |
| 6 | StochRSI | Faster momentum, shown as %K / %D. Near 100 is overbought, near 0 is oversold. |
| 7 | KNN | K-nearest-neighbour model — how bullish current conditions look versus similar historical conditions, as a percentage. |
| 8 | GradBoost | Gradient-boosting model — percentage bullish from a stack of simple rules refined in sequence. |
| 9 | Neural Net | Perceptron model — percentage bullish from a weighted combination of the inputs. |
| 10 | Ensemble | The seven adaptive components pooled into a single weighted vote, as a percentage bullish. |
| 11 | CEI | Cycle Exhaustion Index value plus its zone: EXT+ or EXT- (extreme), OB, OS, or N for neutral. |
| 12 | PRG | PDF Reversal Gauge value. When two or three of its periods agree, the count is appended — e.g. -1.94 (2/3). |
| 13 | MRO | Momentum Regime Oscillator value plus zone (OB, OS, N). |
| 14 | Divergence | REG BULL, REG BEAR, HID BULL, HID BEAR, or NONE. A regular divergence is what lifts the confidence score; hidden divergence is shown for context. |
| 15 | Conf | The two confidence scores, 0–100 each — e.g. 56↑ / 33↓. See the detail below; this row is the one most people misread. |
| 16 | Bull Signal | The bullish tier with its score in brackets — e.g. HIGH (67). This is the tier a BUY label would print at right now. |
| 17 | Bear Signal | The bearish tier with its score in brackets. Same idea, other direction. |
| 18 | MTF Align | BULLISH ✓, BEARISH ✓, or MIXED — whether both of your higher timeframes agree with the local trend. |
| 19 | Kernel | Kernel-regression trend direction: UP ↑, DOWN ↓, or FLAT →. Feeds the kernel-slope multiplier. |
| 20 | AdapTrend | Direction of the adaptive trend line drawn on your chart: UP ↑, DOWN ↓, or FLAT →. |
| 21 | Vol Regime | HIGH, NORMAL or LOW, with the ratio to normal volatility — e.g. NORMAL (1.02x). |
| 22 | EMA20 Dist | New in v8. How far price currently sits from the 20-period EMA, as a percentage. Turns amber past 3%. |
| 23 | Hit% F/R/St/Str | New in v8. Live hit-rates for four of the adaptive components: Fisher / RSI / StochRSI / Structure. |
| 24 | Hit% MTF/V/MRO | New in v8. Live hit-rates for the other three: Multi-Timeframe / Volume / MRO, with the sample size in brackets. |
| 25 | Sig Audit | New in v8. A rolling self-check on this chart's recent labels — e.g. 40% (n=50, 8b). Read the detail below before you interpret it. |
Row 15 — Conf: Read This One Carefully
Conf shows two numbers on a 0–100 scale — the bullish score with an up arrow, the bearish score with a down arrow. 56↑ / 33↓ means the bull case currently scores 56 out of 100 and the bear case scores 33 out of 100. It does not mean 56 of anything agreed, and it does not mean a 56% chance of anything.
If you used CSI-Pro+ before v8, this row was called Evidence and it genuinely was a count. It isn't any more. The row was renamed to Conf precisely so the two can't be confused — if your panel still says Evidence, you are on an older version (see section 1).
The two scores are independent. Both can be low in a quiet market, and it is entirely normal for one side to be high while the other sits near zero. Rows 16 and 17 then translate each score into the tier it lands in.
Row 22 — EMA20 Dist
A simple distance readout: how far, in percent, price has travelled from its 20-period EMA. It answers the question "am I about to act on something that has already run?" The value turns amber once price is more than 3% away, which on most instruments and timeframes means the move is stretched.
Rows 23 and 24 — The Hit% Rows
These two rows are the adaptive weighting system showing its work. Each figure is the running hit-rate for one component — how often that component's recent leans matched what price then did, over the horizon and memory you set in Advanced ML.
Hit% F/R/St/Str— Fisher / RSI / StochRSI / Structure, in that orderHit% MTF/V/MRO— Multi-Timeframe / Volume / MRO, in that order, followed by(n=…), the number of scored observations behind them
They are diagnostics for the engine, not signals for you to trade. Their practical use is context: a component sitting near the middle has had no clear read lately on this chart, and while n is still small the adaptation has not kicked in at all (it needs 20 scored observations per component).
Row 25 — Sig Audit, and What It Is Not
Every time a label is confirmed, CSI-Pro+ notes the direction and the closing price. A set number of bars later — the same Adaptive Horizon, default 8 — it checks whether price moved the way the label pointed, and files the answer. The row summarises the last up to 50 of those answers.
The format is 40% (n=50, 8b):
- 40% — the share of those recent labels that had moved in the labelled direction when they were checked
- n=50 — how many labels are in the sample (it fills up to 50, then rolls forward, dropping the oldest)
- 8b — the horizon in bars used for each check
It reads n/a until the first label has aged past the horizon. Colour is a quick cue only: green at 55 and above, red at 45 and below, neutral in between.
Sig Audit is not. It is not a track record, not a win rate, not a performance claim, and not a promise of anything. It is a rolling self-check on the last handful of labels on the chart in front of you, using a fixed bar horizon rather than any real entry, exit, stop or cost. Change the symbol, the timeframe or your settings and the number changes with them. Two traders looking at the same product will routinely see different values. Treat it as a sanity light on the current chart, never as evidence of how the tool performs.
The Four AI Model Rows
Rows 7 to 10 are four independent readings, each expressed as a percentage bullish. Row 10, Ensemble, is itself a pooled vote of the seven adaptive components. The four are then blended into the single ML contribution that feeds the confidence score, in fixed proportions: KNN 30%, GradBoost 25%, Neural Net 20%, Ensemble 25%. The blended figure is deliberately held inside a moderate band so no single AI reading can dominate a signal.
Dashboard Colors
- Green values = Bullish / favorable for buyers
- Red values = Bearish / favorable for sellers
- Gold/Yellow values = HIGH tier or a notable threshold cleared
- Amber values = a caution reading (high volatility regime, stretched EMA20 distance)
- Gray values = Neutral
Conf (how strong is the case), Regime (is the wider market with it or against it), and MTF Align (do the higher timeframes agree). Mixed readings mean less clarity, not an invalid label; the label already cleared your tier setting or it would not have printed.
Dashboard Not Showing All 26 Rows?
The panel only draws on the rightmost bar, and its text size follows the Dashboard Size setting (default Large). On a short chart window the lower rows can be pushed out of view — drop Dashboard Size to Normal or Small in the Visuals group to fit them all.
5. The Confluence Pane
The Confluence Pane is a separate indicator that appears below your main chart. It specializes in detecting when price moves may be reaching exhaustion levels. Its own small info table sits in the top-right of the pane, headed ⚡ CSI Ultra v8.0.
The Two Oscillators
| Oscillator | What It Does |
|---|---|
| CEI (Cycle Exhaustion Index) | Measures when the energy of a price move is running out — like a battery indicator for the current trend |
| PRG (PDF Reversal Gauge) | Shows how stretched price is from its average — like a rubber band that's been pulled too far |
How to Read It
Both oscillators move between extreme levels. The key is watching for both oscillators to reach extremes and start reversing.
Bullish Reversal Setup (Potential BUY)
- CEI drops into the lower zone (oversold)
- PRG also drops into the lower zone
- Both oscillators begin turning upward
Bearish Reversal Setup (Potential SELL)
- CEI rises into the upper zone (overbought)
- PRG also rises into the upper zone
- Both oscillators begin turning downward
Special Markers
- REV labels (on the CEI line) — the CEI is in an exhaustion zone and has begun to turn back
- Small triangles (at the CEI zone edges) — the CEI has just entered its upper or lower exhaustion zone
- x-crosses — the CEI is beyond its Extreme Level, the deepest reading it reports
- HP labels (on the PRG line) — a PRG reversal reading that also cleared the high-probability threshold
- Triangles on the PRG line — an ordinary PRG reversal reading that did not clear that threshold
- Small diamonds on the PRG line — the PRG's multiple periods are lined up, but no PRG reversal has fired yet
- CC diamond — new in v8; see below
All of these can be switched off together with Show Signal Markers in the pane's settings.
Understanding the Zone Colors
CEI Zones
| Zone | What It Indicates | What to Observe |
|---|---|---|
| Upper Exhaustion (top) | Upside exhaustion — upward move may be running out of energy | The higher CEI goes, the more extended conditions may be |
| Lower Exhaustion (bottom) | Downside exhaustion — downward move may be running out of energy | The deeper CEI drops, the more oversold conditions may be |
| Neutral Zone (middle) | Neither overbought nor oversold | Exhaustion-based signals are not imminent |
PRG Zones
| Zone | What It Indicates | What to Observe |
|---|---|---|
| Overbought Zone | Price has extended significantly above its average | Multiple periods may agree (confluence count increases). Potential for mean reversion increases. |
| Oversold Zone | Price has extended significantly below its average | Multiple periods may agree. Potential for mean reversion increases. |
| Equilibrium Zone | Price is near fair value — neither extended nor compressed | Watch for directional moves out of equilibrium |
The PRG Confluence Count (/3)
The PRG shows a confluence count like "2/3" or "3/3" in certain conditions. This tells you how many of the three time periods agree:
- 1/3 — Only one period shows the extreme condition
- 2/3 — Two periods agree — stronger signal
- 3/3 — All three periods agree — maximum confluence across timeframes
New in Version 8.0
Three additions, all in the pane. Nothing was removed, and the pane still offers the same 10 alerts.
1. Reversal-Confluence Background Bands
The pane now shades vertical bands behind the oscillators when the blended CEI and PRG reversal readings are both elevated on the same side. Bull bands and bear bands can never appear on the same bar — clearing the threshold requires both gauges leaning the same way. The band's intensity scales with the blended reading, so a faint band is a marginal condition and a solid one is a strong one. The bands share the Show Zone Backgrounds toggle, so turning that off removes them along with the zone shading.
2. The CC Diamond Marker
CC stands for Composite Confluence. The marker is a labelled diamond that prints when a CEI reversal and a PRG reversal land within one bar of each other — the pane's two gauges calling a turn at essentially the same moment. Cyan means bullish, orange means bearish. It is deliberately rare and drawn at full size so you can spot it without hunting.
3. Optional Candle Colouring on Your Main Chart
The pane can now recolour the candles on your main chart — body, border and wick — according to the CEI reading, with a distinct colour at exhaustion. It is off by default. Switch it on with Color Chart Candles by CEI in the pane's settings; the three colours below it are yours to set.
Color Candles by CEI setting. Enable candle colouring in one script only — if both are on they will draw over each other.
6. Practical Trading Guide
One Possible Approach (Illustrative)
- Monitor for signals — Letting signals appear rather than anticipating them
- Note the label tier and the score behind it — Observing whether the label reads TRIPLE CONF, DUAL CONF, HIGH or MEDIUM, and what the
Confrow andBull Signal/Bear Signalrows show at that moment - Review dashboard context — Checking whether
Regime,MTF Alignand the reversal gauges generally support the signal direction - Apply personal trading rules — Using your own risk management and entry criteria
- Monitor for changing conditions — Watching for opposite signals or Confluence Pane shifts
Signal Classification Framework (Illustrative)
| Grade | Conditions | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | TRIPLE CONF label, or a HIGH label with the Confluence Pane confirming, MTF Align matching and market structure agreeing | The strongest case the engine produces, with the wider context behind it |
| A | DUAL CONF label, or a HIGH label with one other confirmation (Confluence Pane or MTF Align) | A strong score with partial additional confirmation |
| B+ | HIGH label alone, or a MEDIUM label with confirmation | A good score, thinner context |
| B | MEDIUM label alone | A moderate score with no extra confirmation |
| C | LOW label (hidden unless you enable them) | A weak score — below your MEDIUM tier setting |
Entry Timing Considerations
- Bar Close Mode: Some traders prefer to wait for the candle to close before considering a signal confirmed
- Real-Time Mode: Other traders prefer to monitor signals as they develop in real-time
The Require Bar Close (Non-Repaint) setting controls this behavior, and it ships ON. With it off, a label can appear and then change before the bar closes, because the underlying readings are still moving.
Market Conditions That Warrant Caution
High-Impact News Events
- Major economic releases (Non-Farm Payrolls, FOMC decisions, CPI, GDP)
- Central bank announcements
- Geopolitical events
- Earnings announcements (for individual stocks)
Low Liquidity Periods
- Market open/close transitions
- Holiday periods
- Between major sessions (e.g., Asia close to London open)
- Weekend trading for crypto (typically lower volume)
Ranging/Choppy Markets
- ADX showing low values (weak trend)
- HMM showing frequent regime changes
- Price consolidating in a tight range
Pre-Trade Observation Checklist
Signal Observation: Confidence level? With or against current trend? Confluence Pane status?
Dashboard Observation: MTF Align (BULLISH/BEARISH/MIXED)? AI models showing similar directions? Current Market Regime?
Confluence Pane Observation: Where is CEI? Where is PRG? Are they in agreement?
External Factors: High-impact news pending? Liquidity normal for time of day? Unusual volatility?
7. Additional Chart Features
Trend Lines (EMAs)
| Color | Period | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Blue | 20 EMA | Short-term trend — fastest and most responsive. This is also the line the EMA20 Dist dashboard row measures against. |
| Orange | 50 EMA | Medium-term trend — intermediate direction. The 20/50 relationship is what the counter-trend dampener reads. |
| Purple | 200 EMA | Long-term trend — major trend and institutional reference |
| Cyan | Kernel Trend | A smoothed trend estimate rather than a moving average. Its slope feeds the kernel multiplier and the Kernel dashboard row. Drawn only when kernel regression is enabled. |
All four share the Show Trend EMAs toggle. A fifth line, the Adaptive Trend line, has its own toggle (Show Adaptive Trend Line, on by default) and changes colour with its direction — it is the line behind the AdapTrend dashboard row.
Quick interpretation: Price above all three EMAs with the 20 on top generally indicates an uptrend. The reverse pattern generally indicates a downtrend.
Background Shading
- Green — Bullish conditions (Strong Uptrend detected)
- Red — Bearish conditions (Strong Downtrend detected)
- Orange — High volatility conditions
- Gray — Ranging/neutral market
Order Blocks
Order Blocks mark zones where significant buying or selling likely occurred. They often act as support or resistance when price returns. Off by default — switch on with Show Order Blocks in the Smart Money group.
- Green boxes — Demand zones (potential support)
- Red boxes — Supply zones (potential resistance)
How long they stay on the chart is set by Order Block Max Age (default 100 bars).
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
FVGs are price imbalances created by fast moves. Markets often return to "fill" these gaps. Off by default — switch on with Show Fair Value Gaps.
- Green dashed boxes — Bullish gaps (created by upward moves)
- Red dashed boxes — Bearish gaps (created by downward moves)
FVG Max Age controls how long they persist (default 60 bars).
Break of Structure (BOS) Triangles
Small triangles mark the bar on which price broke a prior swing high or low — up-triangles below the bar for a bullish break, down-triangles above it for a bearish one. Off by default — switch on with Show BOS Triangles. The underlying structure state still feeds the confidence score whether or not the triangles are drawn, and the BOS alerts work either way.
Optional CEI Candle Colouring
The main overlay can recolour your candles — body, border and wick — by the CEI reading, with a separate colour at exhaustion. Off by default; enable with Color Candles by CEI in the CEI Settings group. The bull colour means price is high in its cycle, not that it is a buy. The Confluence Pane offers the same feature; use one or the other, never both.
8. Setting Up Alerts
How to Create an Alert
- Right-click anywhere on your chart
- Select "Add alert…"
- In "Condition", select CSI Pro — the alert dropdown lists indicators by the short name shown in your chart legend, not by the long name you clicked in the Indicators dialog
- Choose your alert type from the second dropdown
- Set notification method (popup, email, mobile)
- Click "Create"
Every alert message from the main indicator begins with CSI v8.0: so you can tell at a glance which product and version fired it.
The 14 Main Indicator Alerts
These appear in the dropdown in the order below.
| # | Alert Name | Fires When |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | TC BUY | A TRIPLE CONF buy prints — CEI reversal, PRG high-probability and Fisher cross aligned, with the raw confidence already at MEDIUM or better. Message: CSI v8.0: TRIPLE CONFLUENCE BUY Signal! |
| 2 | TC SELL | The same on the sell side. |
| 3 | DC BUY | A DUAL CONF buy prints — Fisher cross plus CEI or PRG, with the EMA20/50 trend agreeing. Message: CSI v8.0: DUAL CONFLUENCE BUY Signal! |
| 4 | DC SELL | The same on the sell side. |
| 5 | HIGH Confidence BUY | A regular BUY label prints at the HIGH tier. Excludes bars where a TC or DC label already fired, so you don't get two alerts for one event. |
| 6 | HIGH Confidence SELL | A regular SELL label prints at the HIGH tier, same exclusion. |
| 7 | MED+ Confidence BUY | A regular BUY label prints at MEDIUM or HIGH. Same TC/DC exclusion. This is the usual choice if you want one alert stream and don't want to run two. |
| 8 | MED+ Confidence SELL | The same on the sell side. |
| 9 | Any BUY | The widest BUY alert. It fires on the trigger bar at whatever tier it printed — and unlike the HIGH and MED+ alerts it carries no TC/DC exclusion, so it normally fires on TRIPLE CONF and DUAL CONF bars too. (The exception: those two tiers allow their components to line up a bar apart, so a TC/DC label can occasionally confirm one bar after the trigger, and Any BUY will have fired on the earlier bar.) With Hide Low Confidence Signals ON (the default) that means MEDIUM and above. |
| 10 | Any SELL | The same on the sell side. |
| 11 | BOS Bullish | Price breaks a prior swing high — a bullish break of structure. Fires whether or not the BOS triangles are switched on. |
| 12 | BOS Bearish | Price breaks a prior swing low. |
| 13 | Component Bull Confluence | New in v8. Fires when 2 or more of CEI, PRG, MRO and Divergence agree on the bullish side. Message: CSI v8.0: 2+ component bullish confluence (CEI/PRG/MRO/Divergence) |
| 14 | Component Bear Confluence | The same on the bearish side. |
CEI Bull Reversal, CEI Bear Reversal, PRG High Prob Bull, PRG High Prob Bear, MRO Bull Setup, MRO Bear Setup, RSI/Fisher Bull Divergence, RSI/Fisher Bear Divergence) have been consolidated into the two Component … Confluence alerts above, which fire when two or more of those four line up. That is why the main indicator's alert list is now the 14 above rather than the longer v7 list. If you were running any of the eight, recreate it as Component Bull Confluence or Component Bear Confluence — you will get fewer, better-filtered notifications, because a single component agreeing with nothing else no longer sends one.
The 10 Confluence Pane Alerts
The Confluence Pane is a separate indicator with its own alerts — select CEI & PRG [FrontierAlgo] in the Condition dropdown, which is the short name it shows under on your chart. This set is unchanged in v8.
| # | Alert Name | Fires When |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CEI Bull Reversal | CEI is in the lower exhaustion zone and has turned upward |
| 2 | CEI Bear Reversal | CEI is in the upper exhaustion zone and has turned downward |
| 3 | CEI Extreme | CEI is beyond its Extreme Level, in either direction |
| 4 | PRG High Prob Buy | A PRG bullish reversal reading that also cleared the high-probability threshold |
| 5 | PRG High Prob Sell | The same on the bearish side |
| 6 | PRG Buy Signal | A PRG oversold reversal reading |
| 7 | PRG Sell Signal | A PRG overbought reversal reading |
| 8 | Combined Bull Signal | A CEI bullish reversal and a PRG buy reading on the same bar |
| 9 | Combined Bear Signal | A CEI bearish reversal and a PRG sell reading on the same bar |
| 10 | High Combined Reversal Prob | Both gauges are reading a high reversal probability at once |
Any BUY alongside MED+ Confidence BUY and HIGH Confidence BUY will notify you two or three times for the same label. The same normally applies to TC BUY and DC BUY: Any BUY already fires on those bars, so pairing them double-notifies. Pick the one that matches how selective you want to be.
9. Complete Settings Reference
Access settings by clicking the gear icon next to the indicator name, or double-click the indicator on your chart.
Version 8.0 Ultra exposes 104 inputs on the main indicator, arranged in 17 groups, plus 31 inputs on the Confluence Pane. The groups appear in the settings window in the order below, each with its own header bar. Settings marked NEW did not exist before v8.
1. Regime Filter
| Setting | Default | What It Does | If You Increase It |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADX Length | 14 | Bars used to measure trend strength | Smoother readings, slower to recognize new trends |
| Trend Threshold | 25 | Minimum ADX reading to call the market "trending". Also the point where the dashboard ADX row turns gold. | Stricter — only strong trends qualify |
| ATR Length | 14 | Bars used to measure volatility | More stable, slower to react to volatility spikes |
| Volatility Multiplier | 1.5 | Sensitivity of "high volatility" detection | Harder to trigger high volatility mode |
| Regime Lookback | 50 | How far back to look when classifying regime | More stable classification |
2. Fisher Transform
The Fisher Transform is the core trigger for CSI-Pro+ labels. These settings have the biggest impact on how often labels appear.
| Setting | Default | What It Does | If You Increase It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fisher Period | 10 | Bars looked at to detect extreme price movements | Smoother, fewer signals, bigger swings |
| Extreme Threshold | 1.5 | How extreme conditions must be to trigger | Pickier — waits for obvious setups |
| Smoothing | 3 | Reduces noise in Fisher readings | Smoother but more lag |
| Use Volatility-Adjusted Thresholds | ON | Lets the extreme threshold widen and narrow with volatility instead of staying fixed. This is why the dashboard Fisher row shows a live threshold in brackets. | ON = adapts to conditions; OFF = fixed thresholds |
3. Indicators
| Setting | Default | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| RSI Length | 14 | Bars for the RSI calculation. Shorter = more sensitive. |
| RSI Overbought | 70 | Base overbought level. Lower it and the bearish side reaches "overbought" sooner. |
| RSI Oversold | 30 | Base oversold level. Raise it and the bullish side reaches "oversold" sooner. |
| StochRSI Length | 14 | Period for the Stochastic RSI |
| StochRSI %K Smooth | 3 | Smoothing on the %K line |
| StochRSI %D Smooth | 3 | Smoothing on the %D line |
| CCI Length | 20 | Commodity Channel Index period, used as a feature by the AI models |
| Volume SMA | 20 | Baseline period that "normal" volume is measured against |
| Volume Surge X | 1.5 | How many times the baseline counts as a surge. Higher = needs bigger volume spikes. |
4. ML Classification
| Setting | Default | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Classification Lookback | 40 | Historical window the models analyse. Longer = more context; shorter = adapts faster. |
| K Neighbors | 8 | How many similar historical patterns KNN considers. More = smoother predictions. |
| Training Sample Spacing NEW | 4 | How many bars apart training samples are taken. Wider spacing means less overlapping, more independent samples. |
| Max Training Samples NEW | 500 | Ceiling on how many samples the models hold. Higher = longer memory, heavier chart. |
| Label Horizon (bars) NEW | 4 | How many bars forward a training sample is scored over when the models learn what "bullish" looked like. |
5. Smart Money
| Setting | Default | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Structure Pivot Length | 10 | How significant a swing high/low must be to count. Shorter = more pivots; longer = only major swings. |
| Show Order Blocks | OFF | Draw demand/supply boxes |
| Show Fair Value Gaps | OFF | Draw dashed FVG boxes |
| Show BOS Triangles NEW | OFF | Draw the break-of-structure triangles. The structure reading feeds the score either way. |
| Order Block Max Age | 100 | Bars an Order Block stays on the chart |
| FVG Max Age NEW | 60 | Bars a Fair Value Gap stays on the chart |
6. Multi-Timeframe
| Setting | Default | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Enable MTF | ON | Turn higher-timeframe confirmation on or off. With it off, MTF Align follows the local trend alone. |
| HTF 1 | 60 (1 hour) | First higher timeframe checked for alignment |
| HTF 2 | 240 (4 hour) | Second higher timeframe — should be higher than HTF 1 |
Recommended Higher Timeframe Pairings
| Your Trading Timeframe | HTF 1 | HTF 2 | Trading Style |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 minute | 5 minute | 15 minute | Scalping |
| 3 minute | 15 minute | 1 hour | Fast day trading |
| 5 minute | 15 minute | 1 hour | Day trading |
| 15 minute | 1 hour | 4 hour | Intraday swing |
| 30 minute | 2 hour | 4 hour | Short-term swing |
| 1 hour | 4 hour | Daily | Swing trading |
| 4 hour | Daily | Weekly | Swing/Position |
| Daily | Weekly | Monthly | Position trading |
General rule: HTF 1 should be roughly 3–6x your trading timeframe. HTF 2 should be roughly 3–6x HTF 1.
7. Signal Settings
| Setting | Default | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Min Bars Between Signals | 5 | Minimum bars before another regular label can appear. Increase if labels cluster. |
| Require Bar Close (Non-Repaint) | ON | Labels only print once the bar has closed. Recommended: keep ON. |
| Hide Low Confidence Signals | ON | Prints only MEDIUM and above. Turn OFF to see LOW labels too. |
| Signal Upgrade Window (bars) NEW | 3 | If a DUAL or TRIPLE CONF label confirms within this many bars of a lower-tier same-direction label, the superseded label is removed so they don't stack. Range 1–6. |
Require Bar Close (Non-Repaint) ships ON, and with it on a label prints at bar close and stays there. Separately, v8's higher-timeframe confirmation is non-repainting in realtime — a v8 change with an honest trade-off, since v8 no longer looks ahead on history and historical labels therefore sit differently than they did in v7.
8. Visuals
| Setting | Default | What It Controls |
|---|---|---|
| Show Labels | ON | Display or hide the BUY/SELL labels and the TC/DC markers |
| Show Background | ON | Display or hide the coloured regime background shading |
| Show Dashboard | ON | Display or hide the 26-row information panel |
| Show Trend EMAs | ON | Display or hide the 20 / 50 / 200 EMAs and the kernel trend line |
| Show Support/Resistance Zones | ON | Legacy toggle — present in the settings panel, but it has no visible effect in v8.0 Ultra |
| Label Size | Large | Large, Normal, or Small |
| Dashboard Size | Large | Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, or Huge. Drop this if the lower dashboard rows don't fit your window. |
| Max Visible Labels | 50 | How many historical labels stay on the chart. Older ones are removed as new ones print. Reduce it if the chart feels slow. |
9. Advanced ML
| Setting | Default | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Distance Metric | Ensemble | How KNN measures "similar". Ensemble suits most users. |
| Enable Kernel Regression | ON | Draws the kernel trend line and enables the kernel-slope multiplier. Off = that multiplier is neutral. |
| Kernel Lookback | 25 | How far back the kernel estimate reaches |
| Kernel Relative Weight | 8.0 | How strongly nearby bars outweigh distant ones in that estimate |
| Enable HMM Regime Detection | ON | Powers the HMM State dashboard row and the HMM contribution to the score |
| Enable Ensemble Voting | ON | Powers the Ensemble row. This is the model the adaptive weights act on. |
| Enable Perceptron NN | ON | Powers the Neural Net row |
| Adaptive Feature Weights | ON | The v8 headline feature — component weights adapt to their own recent hit-rate on this chart. OFF = fixed weights. See section 3. |
| HMM Stickiness NEW | 0.95 | How reluctant the regime model is to switch states. Higher = steadier state, slower to flip. Range 0.80–0.99. |
| HMM State Threshold NEW | 0.65 | How confident the model must be before it calls BULL or BEAR instead of NEUTRAL. Range 0.55–0.90. |
| Adaptive Horizon (bars) NEW | 8 | How many bars ahead a component's read is scored against what price did. Also the horizon used by the Sig Audit row. Range 3–20. |
| Adaptive Memory (EMA bars) NEW | 100 | Effective memory of the hit-rate tracking. Shorter = adapts faster and more jumpily; longer = steadier. Range 20–500. |
10. Confidence Scoring — NEW GROUP IN v8
This group did not exist before v8. It is where the 0–100 score gets turned into a tier.
| Setting | Default | Range | What It Does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Confidence Tier - HIGH NEW | 65 | 50–95 | Score a side must reach to print a HIGH label. Raise it for rarer, stricter HIGH labels. |
| Confidence Tier - MEDIUM NEW | 45 | 20–70 | Score a side must reach to print a MEDIUM label. Anything below this is LOW, and LOW is hidden by default. |
| Counter-Trend Dampener NEW | 0.80 | 0.5–1.0 | How hard to thin scores that fade the EMA20/50 trend — sells in an uptrend, buys in a downtrend. 1.0 switches the dampening off; lower values thin marginal counter-trend signals harder and rebalance the buy/sell mix. |
11. Base Indicators
| Setting | Default | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Show Adaptive Trend Line | ON | Draws the adaptive trend line — a smoothed trend estimate combining an EMA with linear regression. It is the line behind the AdapTrend dashboard row. |
| Adaptive Trend Length | 5 | Its responsiveness. Range 2–20. |
| Adaptive Trend Up Color | Aqua | Colour when the line is trending up |
| Adaptive Trend Down Color | Red | Colour when the line is trending down |

| CEI Lower Exhaustion | -0.75 | Lower zone boundary — the OS line |
| CEI Extreme Level | 0.90 | Where EXT+ / EXT- starts, and the point the extreme candle colour uses |
| Show CEI Cycle Wave | ON | Exposes the underlying cycle wave as a data-window series |
| Color Candles by CEI NEW | OFF | Recolours your candles — body, border and wick — by the CEI reading. Bull colour means price is high in its cycle, not a buy. Enable in one script only. |
| CEI Candles: Bull NEW | Green | Candle colour when CEI is positive |
| Bear NEW | Red | Candle colour when CEI is negative |
| Extreme NEW | Gold | Candle colour past the Extreme Level |
13. PRG Settings

|---|---|---|
| Enable Divergence Detection | ON | Powers the Divergence dashboard row, the divergence multiplier and the [DIV] label suffix |
| Divergence Lookback | 14 | How far back to compare price against momentum |
| Divergence Pivot Length | 5 | How significant a pivot must be to anchor a divergence |

10. Troubleshooting
Can't Find CSI-Pro+ in TradingView
- Confirm you claimed the indicator in your Whop dashboard (enter your exact TradingView username, click Set, then Claim Indicators)
- Double-check the username you claimed with — it’s case-sensitive and must match your profile URL exactly (no @ symbol); re-claim if it was wrong
- Confirm you’re signed into the same TradingView account whose username you claimed with
- Look in the “Invite-only scripts” tab, NOT the main Indicators search
- Hard refresh: Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+R (Mac)
- Still stuck? Email support@frontieralgo.com with your TradingView username and Whop order ID
No Signals Appearing

- Turn off
Hide Low Confidence Signalstemporarily to see if LOW labels are being filtered out - Lower

Signals Disappearing
Enable Require Bar Close (Non-Repaint) in settings. With it on, a label prints once the candle closes and stays where it printed. With it off you are watching signals form intrabar, and an intrabar signal can still change before the bar closes.
Historical Labels Moved Since I Last Looked
If you upgraded from v7, expect this. v8's higher-timeframe confirmation no longer looks ahead on history, which is what makes it non-repainting in realtime — the trade-off is that historical labels sit differently than they did in v7. Nothing is broken. Comparisons against old screenshots will not line up.
Dashboard Not Visible, or Rows Cut Off
The dashboard only appears on the rightmost (current) bar — scroll to the live edge of your chart, and verify Show Dashboard is enabled. If the top rows show but the lower ones (EMA20 Dist, the two Hit% rows, Sig Audit) are cut off, reduce Dashboard Size in the Visuals group — all 26 rows need vertical room and the default size is Large.
The Panel Says Evidence, Not Conf
You are running an older version. Remove the indicator from your chart and re-add it from Indicators → Invite-only scripts. The v8.0 Ultra panel is titled ⚡ CSI v8.0 Ultra and its row 15 is named Conf.
Confluence Pane Not Showing
The Confluence Pane is a separate indicator. Add it from Indicators > Invite-only scripts > "CRI-Pro+ Confluence Pane [CEI+PRG]".
My Candles Are Strange Colours
Candle colouring by CEI is off by default in both scripts, so something has switched it on. Check Color Candles by CEI in the main indicator's CEI Settings, and Color Chart Candles by CEI in the pane's settings. If both are on, turn one off — they draw over each other.
Alert Troubleshooting
If alerts aren't firing, check:
- Alert is active (not paused or expired)
- Correct condition selected when creating the alert
- Notification settings (app, email, SMS) configured
- Symbol and timeframe match (a 1-hour alert won't fire from 15-minute chart signals)
- Email alerts may be going to spam
Performance Issues
If CSI-Pro+ loads slowly:
- Reduce the number of other indicators on your chart
- Close unused TradingView tabs
- Clear your browser cache
- Use a dedicated browser profile for trading
- Reduce the "Max Visible Labels" setting
Quick Reference Card
Label Tiers at a Glance
| Label | What Produced It | Appearance |
|---|---|---|
| TRIPLE CONF | CEI + PRG + Fisher aligned within a bar, raw confidence already MEDIUM or better | White label + diamond marker |
| DUAL CONF | Fisher cross + CEI or PRG, trend agreeing | Aqua (buy) / magenta (sell) label + circle marker |
| HIGH | Confidence score at or above the HIGH tier (default 65) | Gold label |
| MEDIUM | Confidence score at or above the MEDIUM tier (default 45) | Standard green / red |
| LOW | Confidence score below the MEDIUM tier | Faded (hidden by default) |
Add [DIV] to a HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW label when a divergence supports it. BUY prints below the bar, SELL above. Tier cut-offs are settings, not fixed values — see Confidence Scoring.

Common Questions
Can I use CSI-Pro+ on multiple computers? Yes. It's tied to your TradingView account, not your computer. Log in from any device.
Do I need a paid TradingView subscription? No. CSI-Pro+ works on free TradingView accounts.
Why do signals work better on some instruments? Like any technical analysis tool, it works best with reasonable liquidity and normal spreads.
Is the Conf row a percentage chance? No. It is a 0–100 measure of how strong the analytical case is on that bar, for each direction separately. It is not a probability and not a count.
Do I have to update anything to get v8.0 Ultra? No. TradingView serves the current version. If your panel still shows an older title, remove the indicator and re-add it.
11. Glossary of Terms
Signal & Confidence Terms
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Confidence Score | A 0–100 measure of how strong the analytical case is for one direction on the current bar. Calculated separately for the bull and bear sides. Shown in the Conf dashboard row. Not a count, not a probability. |
| Confluence | Several independent analytical inputs pointing the same way at once |
| Confidence Tier | The band a confidence score falls into — HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW. The cut-offs are user settings, defaulting to 65 and 45. |
| TRIPLE CONF | The top label tier — CEI reversal, PRG high-probability reading and Fisher cross all aligned within a bar, with raw confidence already at MEDIUM or better |
| DUAL CONF | A Fisher cross plus one of the two reversal gauges, with the EMA20/50 trend agreeing |
| [DIV] suffix | Added to a regular label when a divergence supports it |
| Contribution | One of the twelve weighted inputs that build the confidence score. Three of them are continuous rather than on/off. |
| Multiplier | One of the five context checks — trend regime, kernel slope, divergence, Fisher-reversal depth and the counter-trend dampener — that adjust the score after it has been built |
| Sig Audit | A rolling self-check on this chart's recent labels, shown in dashboard row 25. Not a track record and not a performance claim — see section 4. |
| Repainting | When a signal changes or disappears after it appeared |
| Non-Repainting | Two things in CSI-Pro+: labels that print at bar close and stay put (on by default), and higher-timeframe confirmation that does not repaint in realtime (a v8 change, with the trade-off that historical labels sit differently than in v7) |

| Hit% | The running share of a component's recent reads that matched what price then did, over the Adaptive Horizon. Published in dashboard rows 23 and 24. A diagnostic, not a signal. |
| Adaptive Horizon | How many bars ahead a component read (or a label, for Sig Audit) is scored against. Default 8. |
| Adaptive Memory | How long the hit-rate tracking remembers. Older results fade rather than dropping out. Default 100 bars. |
