CSI Pro+

Complete Owner's Manual
Built for TradingView®
Need help? Try our 24/7 AI support chatbot at frontieralgo.com/support.html — it answers most questions instantly (signal interpretation, settings, troubleshooting). The assistant escalates complex issues automatically.
This manual is comprehensive by design. But CSI-Pro+ is remarkably simple in practice. When you look at your charts, you'll see clear BUY and SELL signals with confidence ratings. That's all you need to get started. Use this manual as a reference, and ask the chatbot whenever you have questions.

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:

IndicatorPurpose
CSI-Pro+ (CRIPro+)Main signal generator — displays BUY/SELL signals, trend lines, market structure markers, and the information dashboard
Confluence PaneReversal detection — two specialized oscillators (CEI and PRG) for identifying momentum exhaustion and entry/exit timing
About the name: You may see "CRI-Pro+" in the TradingView interface — this is the same indicator as CSI-Pro+. We use "CSI-Pro+" (Confluence Signal Intelligence) in our documentation for clarity.

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:

Step 3: Add the Indicators.

Step 4: Verify Everything Works. You should see signal labels on your chart, colored trend lines (blue, orange, purple), an information dashboard in the top-right corner, 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.

IssueSolution
Invite-only tab is empty after claimingRefresh 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 claimedRe-open your Whop dashboard, enter the correct case-sensitive TradingView username, click Set, then Claim Indicators again
Still no accessClear 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 approximately 200 bars of historical data to calculate properly. 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

PeriodActivity
First WeekAdd 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 2–3Use 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.
Use Replay Mode: TradingView's Bar Replay feature lets you watch historical price action unfold bar-by-bar. This is an excellent way to see how CSI-Pro+ signals played out in the past without waiting for real-time markets.

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 Signals Are Generated

CSI-Pro+ continuously monitors multiple analytical factors across different categories including momentum, trend, structure, and AI models. When the primary trigger condition is met (momentum reaching an extreme and reversing), the system evaluates how many of these factors support the trade direction. The more factors that agree, the higher the confidence rating.

Signal Labels Explained

What You SeeWhat It Means
◆ BUY HIGHStrong bullish setup — strong factor agreement across multiple analytical categories
◆ BUY MEDIUMSolid bullish setup — solid factor agreement on the buy direction
◆ SELL HIGHStrong bearish setup — strong factor agreement across multiple analytical categories
◆ SELL MEDIUMSolid bearish setup — solid factor agreement on the sell direction

LOW confidence signals (limited factor agreement) are hidden by default. You can enable them in settings if desired.

What "Confidence" Really Means

The confidence rating reflects the degree of agreement among CSI-Pro+'s analytical factors:

Critical understanding: Confidence ratings reflect the degree of analytical agreement among factors. A HIGH confidence signal indicates a cleaner technical setup with more factors aligned. All trading carries inherent risk regardless of the confidence rating.

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. CSI-Pro+ is designed to generate signals when enough factors agree — it doesn't require perfection.

Close is good enough: If you see a signal and most (not necessarily all) dashboard factors support it, that's a valid setup. Don't wait for everything to turn green — that rarely happens and you'd miss most opportunities.

4. The Dashboard

The dashboard appears in the top-right corner of your chart when viewing the current bar. It shows you exactly what CSI-Pro+'s analytical engine is seeing in real-time.

Market Regime

ItemWhat It Tells You
RegimeCurrent market mode: Strong Uptrend, Strong Downtrend, Range, or High Volatility
HMM StateMarket classification: BULL (buyers winning), BEAR (sellers winning), or NEUTRAL
ADXTrend strength — higher values indicate the market is trending, lower values indicate ranging conditions
Vol RegimeVolatility level: HIGH, NORMAL, or LOW — tells you if the market is calm or choppy

Momentum Indicators

ItemWhat It Tells You
FisherShows how "stretched" price is — extreme values (shown in brackets) suggest potential reversal
RSIMomentum gauge — above 70 is overbought (green for sells), below 30 is oversold (green for buys)
StochRSIFast momentum reading — shows K/D values, 100 is overbought, 0 is oversold
CEICycle exhaustion — OB (overbought), OS (oversold), or N (neutral)
PRGPrice extension — how far price has stretched from average, with confluence count
MROMomentum efficiency — OB, OS, or N

AI Models

ItemWhat It Shows
KNNPattern matching analysis — percentage bullish based on similar historical conditions
GradBoostMulti-layer prediction — percentage bullish using iterative analysis
Neural NetWeighted input analysis — percentage bullish from combined factors
EnsembleCombined voting — percentage bullish from all indicator votes

Signal Summary

ItemWhat It Shows
DivergenceWhether bullish or bearish divergence is detected, or NONE
EvidenceBullish vs bearish factor count (e.g., "3↑ / 2↓")
Bull SignalCurrent bullish classification: HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW with factor count
Bear SignalCurrent bearish classification: HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW with factor count
MTF AlignMulti-timeframe status — BULLISH ✓, BEARISH ✓, or MIXED
KernelTrend direction from advanced smoothing — UP, DOWN, or FLAT
AdapTrendAdaptive trend direction — UP, DOWN, or FLAT

Dashboard Colors

Quick dashboard check: When a signal appears, scan the dashboard. If you see mostly green (for a BUY) or mostly red (for a SELL), the setup shows stronger factor alignment. Mixed colors mean less clarity — the signal is still valid, just with less confirmation.

5. The Confluence Pane

Educational information. This section explains how the Confluence Pane oscillators function. The descriptions below are for educational purposes and do not constitute trading recommendations.

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.

The Two Oscillators

OscillatorWhat 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 (Probability 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)

Bearish Reversal Setup (Potential SELL)

Special Markers

Understanding the Zone Colors

CEI Zones

ZoneWhat It IndicatesWhat to Observe
Upper Exhaustion (top)Upside exhaustion — upward move may be running out of energyThe higher CEI goes, the more extended conditions may be
Lower Exhaustion (bottom)Downside exhaustion — downward move may be running out of energyThe deeper CEI drops, the more oversold conditions may be
Neutral Zone (middle)Neither overbought nor oversoldExhaustion-based signals are not imminent

PRG Zones

ZoneWhat It IndicatesWhat to Observe
Overbought ZonePrice has extended significantly above its averageMultiple periods may agree (confluence count increases). Potential for mean reversion increases.
Oversold ZonePrice has extended significantly below its averageMultiple periods may agree. Potential for mean reversion increases.
Equilibrium ZonePrice is near fair value — neither extended nor compressedWatch 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:

6. Practical Trading Guide

Educational information only. This section describes how CSI-Pro+ signals and features function. The examples below are illustrative and do not constitute trading advice. All trading decisions are your responsibility.

One Possible Approach (Illustrative)

  1. Monitor for signals — Letting signals appear rather than anticipating them
  2. Note the confidence level — Observing whether signals show HIGH or MEDIUM
  3. Review dashboard alignment — Checking whether dashboard factors generally support the signal direction
  4. Apply personal trading rules — Using your own risk management and entry criteria
  5. Monitor for changing conditions — Watching for opposite signals or Confluence Pane shifts

Signal Classification Framework (Illustrative)

GradeConditionsInterpretation
A+HIGH confidence + Confluence Pane confirms + MTF Align matches + Market structure confirmsMaximum factor alignment across all categories
AHIGH confidence + one other confirmation (Confluence Pane OR MTF Align)Strong factor alignment with partial additional confirmation
B+HIGH confidence alone OR MEDIUM + confirmationGood factor alignment
BMEDIUM confidence aloneModerate factor alignment
CLOW confidenceLimited factor alignment

Entry Timing Considerations

The "Require Bar Close" setting controls this behavior.

Risk management is your responsibility. CSI-Pro+ is an analytical tool that identifies potential market conditions — it does NOT manage your risk or make trading decisions for you.

Market Conditions That Warrant Caution

High-Impact News Events

Low Liquidity Periods

Ranging/Choppy Markets

Pre-Trade Observation Checklist

Educational reference only. This checklist illustrates factors some traders consider. It is not trading advice and does not constitute a trading system.

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)

ColorPeriodPurpose
Blue (Cyan)Short-termShort-term trend — fastest and most responsive
OrangeMedium-termMedium-term trend — intermediate direction
PurpleLong-termLong-term trend — major trend and institutional reference

Quick interpretation: Price above all three lines with the short-term on top generally indicates an uptrend. The reverse pattern generally indicates a downtrend.

Background Shading

Order Blocks

Order Blocks mark zones where significant buying or selling likely occurred. They often act as support or resistance when price returns.

Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)

FVGs are price imbalances created by fast moves. Markets often return to "fill" these gaps.

These features are optional. Order Blocks and FVGs can be toggled off in settings if they clutter your chart. The main signals work perfectly fine without them.

8. Setting Up Alerts

How to Create an Alert

Available Alerts

Alert NameTriggers When
HIGH Confidence BUYBUY signal with strong factor alignment
HIGH Confidence SELLSELL signal with strong factor alignment
MED+ Confidence BUYBUY signal with solid or strong factor alignment (MEDIUM and HIGH)

Any BUYAny bullish signal regardless of confidence
Any SELLAny bearish signal regardless of confidence
BOS Bullish / BearishBreak of structure detected
MRO Bull SetupMRO is oversold and momentum is accelerating upward
MRO Bear SetupMRO is overbought and momentum is decelerating

Confluence Pane Alerts

The Confluence Pane has its own set of alerts you can configure separately.

Alert NameTriggers When
CEI Bull ReversalCEI exits oversold zone and turns upward
CEI Bear ReversalCEI exits overbought zone and turns downward
PRG High Prob BuyPRG shows high probability bullish conditions with confluence
PRG High Prob SellPRG shows high probability bearish conditions with confluence
RSI/Fisher Bull DivergenceBullish divergence detected between price and momentum
RSI/Fisher Bear DivergenceBearish divergence detected between price and momentum

9. Complete Settings Reference

About these settings: CSI-Pro+ works great with default settings — most users never need to change anything. This reference is for fine-tuning. Don't feel pressured to adjust anything right away.

Access settings by clicking the gear icon next to the indicator name, or double-click the indicator on your chart.

Market Regime Detection

SettingWhat It DoesIf You Increase ItIf You Decrease It
ADX LengthBars used to measure trend strengthSmoother readings, slower to recognize new trendsFaster to detect trend changes, but more noise
Trend ThresholdMinimum reading to call market "trending"Stricter — only strong trends qualifyMore conditions labeled as trending
ATR LengthBars used to measure volatilityMore stable, slower to react to volatility spikesFaster reaction, readings can be jumpy
Volatility MultiplierSensitivity of "high volatility" detectionHarder to trigger high volatility modeEasier to trigger high volatility mode
Regime LookbackHow far back to look when classifying regimeMore stable classificationFaster to adapt to new conditions

Fisher Transform Settings

The Fisher Transform is the core trigger for CSI-Pro+ signals. These settings have the biggest impact on signal frequency.

SettingWhat It DoesIf You Increase ItIf You Decrease It
Fisher PeriodBars looked at to detect extreme price movementsSmoother, fewer signals, bigger swingsMore sensitive, more signals, catches smaller moves
Extreme ThresholdHow extreme conditions must be to triggerPickier — waits for obvious setupsMore sensitive — triggers on smaller moves
SmoothingReduces noise in Fisher readingsSmoother but more lagMore responsive but noisier
Use Adaptive ThresholdsAuto-adjusts sensitivity based on volatilityON = widens in volatile markets; OFF = fixed thresholds
The most important setting: The Extreme Threshold is what you're most likely to adjust. Too many signals? Turn it UP. Missing opportunities? Turn it DOWN. Make small adjustments and observe the results.

Momentum Indicator Settings

SettingWhat It DoesAdjustment Guidance
RSI LengthBars for RSI calculationShorter = more sensitive; longer = smoother

StochRSI Length / %K / %DStochastic RSI period and smoothingShorter = more volatile; longer = smoother
CCI LengthCommodity Channel Index periodShorter = more sensitive; longer = fewer extreme readings
Volume SMA / Surge MultiplierVolume baseline and surge sensitivityHigher multiplier = needs bigger volume spikes

Signal Filtering Settings

SettingWhat It DoesGuidance
Min Bars Between SignalsMinimum bars before another signal can appearIncrease if signals cluster; decrease for rapid setups
Require Bar Close (Non-Repaint)Signals only appear after bar closesRecommended: Keep ON. Ensures stable signals.
Hide Low Confidence SignalsShows only MEDIUM and HIGH signalsKeep ON for cleaner chart; OFF to see all
About non-repainting mode: "Require Bar Close" is what makes CSI-Pro+ non-repainting. When ON, once a signal appears after a bar closes, it will never change or disappear. Most traders prefer ON for reliability.

Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Settings

SettingWhat It Does
Enable MTF AnalysisTurn multi-timeframe analysis ON or OFF
