The TradeDots Indicator Philosophy
What Makes Our Indicators Different
1. Built on Market Principles, Not Curve-Fitting
Every indicator is designed around fundamental market concepts:
Volume analysis (institutional participation)
Momentum persistence (trend continuation)
Market structure (trend phases and shifts)
Statistical extremes (reversal conditions)
Not designed by:
Optimizing parameters until backtest looks perfect
Finding patterns in specific historical data
Creating black-box "AI" without explanation
2. Transparency Over Secrets
We publish:
Algorithm logic
Why each component exists (market principle)
Limitations and when not to use
Moderate technical detail (formulas, pseudocode)
We don't:
Hide behind "proprietary formulas"
Claim 90%+ accuracy without explanation
Show only winning trades
Promise holy grail systems
3. Education Over Dependency
Our goal: Make you a better trader who understands tools, not a signal-follower who blindly trusts.
Every chapter teaches:
Underlying market concepts
Why signals appear
When to trust signals (and when to question them)
How to combine with other analysis
4. Realistic Expectations
We acknowledge:
No indicator is 100% accurate
Market conditions affect performance
Confirmation is essential
Risk management is more important than signals
We don't claim:
Perfect accuracy
Works in all conditions
Replace need for analysis
Guarantee profits

Time Investment
Per indicator chapter: 60-90 minutes reading + 30-60 minutes practice
Complete section: 8-12 hours for all 6 indicators + combining chapter
Minimum (3 indicators): 4-6 hours
Combining Indicators: The Real Power
Why Multiple Confirmations Matter
Single indicator:
50-60% win rate
Higher false signal rate
Less confidence in entries
Multiple confirmations (2-3 indicators + volume):
65-75% win rate
Reduced false signals
Higher confidence in entries
The math: If each indicator is 60% accurate independently, combining 3 reduces false signals exponentially.
The Confirmation Framework
Example trade setup:
Structure: [Chart Pattern & Market Structure] - Uptrend confirmed, at higher low
Momentum: [Smart MACD] - Bullish divergence detected
Entry: [Buy Sell Signals V2] - Buy signal generated
Confirmation: [Price Momentum Reversal] - Oversold, bullish reversal signal
Volume: Increasing on bounce
Result: 5 confirmations aligned = high-probability long setup.

Indicator Selection Guide
"Which Indicators Should I Use?"
It depends on your trading style:
Day Traders
Primary: Buy Sell Signals V2, Price Momentum Reversal Secondary: Volume indicators Why: Need quick, clear signals on lower timeframes (5min, 15min, 1H)
Swing Traders
Primary: Trend Following Buy Sell Signals, Chart Pattern & Market Structure Secondary: Smart MACD, Buy Sell Signals V2 Why: Focus on trend and structure, hold multi-day positions
Position Traders
Primary: Smart MACD (weekly/monthly), Trend Following (daily) Secondary: Chart Pattern & Market Structure Why: Long-term trend identification, ignore noise
Reversal Traders
Primary: Price Momentum Reversal, Price Reversal Probability Secondary: Smart MACD (divergences) Why: Specializes in identifying extreme conditions and reversal probabilities
How Many Indicators Should I Use?
On any single chart: 2-3 maximum
Why: Too many indicators = conflicting signals = paralysis by analysis
Better approach: Master 2-3 indicators deeply rather than using 10 superficially.
Example combination:
Chart Pattern & Market Structure (context)
Buy Sell Signals V2 (entries)
Volume (confirmation)
Result: Clean chart, clear decision-making framework.
Common Questions
"Can I use these on any market?"
Yes. All indicators work on:
Stocks (US and international)
Forex pairs
Cryptocurrencies
Commodities
Futures
Indices

"What timeframes work best?"
All timeframes supported: 1-minute to monthly
Sweet spots:
Day trading: 5min, 15min, 1H
Swing trading: 4H, Daily
Position trading: Daily, Weekly
Lower timeframes (1min, 5min): More noise, require more experience Higher timeframes (Daily, Weekly): Less noise, better for learning

Indicators alone: Basic Plan sufficient Indicators + stock selection: Pro Plan recommended
"How long to master these indicators?"
Realistic timeline:
Week 1: Understand 1 indicator, practice on 20+ charts
Week 2-3: Add 2nd indicator, practice combinations
Week 4-6: Add 3rd indicator, develop personal system
Month 3+: Refinement and consistency
Don't rush. Better to master 2 indicators than superficially know 6.
"Do I need a TradingView Premium plan to use these indicators?"
No, you don't need a premium plan. TradeDots indicators work with TradingView's free account.
However, TradingView Free has limitations:
Maximum of 2 indicators per chart (vs. 5+ on paid plans)

Setting Realistic Expectations
What These Indicators Will Do
Identify high-probability setups based on proven market principles Reduce noise by filtering out low-conviction signals Automate analysis that you could do manually (but faster and more consistently) Provide confirmation when multiple factors align Educate you on market structure, momentum, and probability
What These Indicators Won't Do
L Guarantee profits no tool can do this L Replace risk management position sizing and stops are still your responsibility L Work in all conditions choppy markets challenge all indicators L Eliminate losses losses are part of trading L Trade for you you make decisions, indicators provide information
The Reality of Win Rates
Our indicators typically achieve:
55-70% win rate with proper use and confirmation
2:1 to 3:1 risk/reward when combined with sound trade management
Positive expected value over 50-100+ trade samples
This is realistic. Be skeptical of claims of 85%+ win rates without proof and explanation.
