# Signal System ## Signal System — Trader's Guide (EN) > Premium prints **7 signal types** on the RSI panel. Each one has its own personality and frequency. Learn them well and you'll **read the market's story** instead of just counting arrows. *** ### The 7 signals at a glance | Symbol | Name | Direction | Frequency | Reliability | | ---------------------- | ----------------- | ------------ | --------- | ----------- | | ▲+ green | Pullback Buy | LONG | Medium | High | | ▼− red | Pullback Sell | SHORT | Medium | High | | Blue BUY box | Buy Hidden | LONG | Low | Very high | | Red SELL box | Sell Hidden | SHORT | Low | Very high | | BUY ADV / SELL ADV box | Multi-TF Pullback | LONG / SHORT | Very low | A+ | | TB orange | Trap Buy → SELL | SHORT | Rare | Medium–high | | TS cyan | Trap Sell → BUY | LONG | Rare | Medium–high | | Blue / red dot | Hidden Divergence | Bias only | Medium | Confluence | *** ### 1. Pullback Buy (▲+) and Pullback Sell (▼−) #### When they fire * ▲+ : RSI previously pushed into the strong overbought zone, then **pulls back to a value zone** just above the mid-line, and shows signs of resuming up → LONG signal. * ▼− : RSI previously dropped into the strong oversold zone, then **lifts back to a resistance zone** just below the mid-line, and shows signs of resuming down → SHORT signal. #### The philosophy > This is a "ride the wave" entry, not a "catch the top/bottom" entry. > > You wait for the market to **prove its momentum** first, then enter on the second pullback. The result: tight stops and naturally good R:R. #### How they look on the chart * A label appears on the RSI panel. * When ▲+ or ▼− fires, the Bull (40–43) or Bear (57–60) level zone turns into a **3D step shape** spanning the last 12–15 bars — that's only a visual highlight, **not a separate signal**. * Optional: enable "Signals on Chart" to mirror PB / PS triangles on the price chart. #### Suggested action | Element | Pullback Buy | Pullback Sell | | --------- | ----------------------------------- | -------------------------- | | Entry | At signal close, market on next bar | At signal close | | Stop loss | Below recent 3–5 bar low | Above recent 3–5 bar high | | TP1 | R:R 1:1 (close 30–50%) | R:R 1:1 | | TP2 | Nearest resistance or R:R 1:2 | Nearest support or R:R 1:2 | | Trail SL | After 1R move | After 1R move | *** ### 2. Buy Hidden / Sell Hidden — BUY / SELL boxes #### When they fire * **BUY box** (blue border, light fill): RSI completed an overbought leg, pulled back to support, **and** a hidden bullish divergence showed up (price prints higher low, RSI prints lower low). * **SELL box** (red border): mirror image — RSI completed an oversold leg, bounced back to resistance, **and** a hidden bearish divergence formed. #### What's special * The box itself **draws the pullback range** from the RSI peak / trough down to the trigger bar — you literally see the "retracement scope". * These are **higher-quality** than vanilla Pullback because hidden divergence acts as an extra filter. * Less frequent — won't appear every day. #### Suggested action * Same rules as Pullback, but **size up to full**. * Stop loss can sit **outside the box** (below the BUY box, above SELL). * A+ setup when a divergence dot lands at the same spot. *** ### 3. Pullback Advanced (BUY ADV / SELL ADV) #### What it is A **multi-timeframe** version of Buy / Sell Hidden. Fires only when: 1. The current TF already meets Buy / Sell Hidden conditions, **and** 2. The lower TF picked in settings is also in a same-direction trend. #### When to use it * Traders who want to **eliminate sideways false signals**. * Higher-TF traders (1H, 4H, 1D) who insist on lower-TF confirmation. #### Configuration * Settings → group **RSI Pullback Signals advanced** → set `Signal Mode` to **Advanced Multi-Timeframe**. * Pick a timeframe **lower** than your chart (e.g. 1H chart → 15m). * If you accidentally pick a higher TF, the MTF table will show a ⚠️ warning "Select a lower timeframe for analysis". #### What's special * Frequency **very low** — many days may produce zero signals. * Each fire is essentially an **A+ setup** — full size, ambitious R:R. * The box border is light blue / orange to differentiate from vanilla Hidden boxes. *** ### 4. Trap Buy (TB) and Trap Sell (TS) > Premium-exclusive feature — you won't find these in vanilla RSI tools. #### Trap Buy (TB orange) → SELL signal * Context: market is in a **bullish phase** (Bull level active). * RSI dips back to 40–45, "longs" think price will bounce and **enter long**. * But RSI rallies and gets **rejected at the same resistance 2+ times** → longs are trapped. * → **SHORT** signal. #### Trap Sell (TS cyan) → BUY signal * Context: market is in a **bearish phase** (Bear level active). * RSI lifts to 55–60, "shorts" think price will dump and **enter short**. * But RSI dips and **bounces off the same support 2+ times** → shorts are trapped. * → **LONG** signal. #### What you see * A **dashed horizontal line** marks the resistance (TB) or support (TS) where bulls / bears got pinned. * Tooltip shows a **strength score** — higher = juicier trap. #### Suggested action * Wait for the next bar to close as confirmation. * Stop loss above the resistance (TB) or below the support (TS), plus a small buffer. * This is a **short-term reversal**, not a multi-day trend flip. Take profit fast at R:R 1:1 to 1:2. #### When to skip TB / TS * ❌ Higher TF is in a screaming opposite-direction trend → trap may get steamrolled. * ❌ Tooltip strength < 60. * ❌ Trap fires right after a major news release → market reaction, not a real trap. *** ### 5. Hidden Divergence — Dots #### Reading the dots * **Blue dot** on RSI: bullish hidden divergence — price prints higher low but RSI prints lower low → sellers are weakening, **LONG bias**. * **Red dot** on RSI: bearish hidden divergence — price prints lower high but RSI prints higher high → buyers are weakening, **SHORT bias**. #### What's special * **Not an entry signal** by itself — it's a **bias confirmation**. * Use it as a **bonus filter** for other signals. * Blue dot near ▲+ or TS → very strong setup. * Red dot near ▼− or TB → very strong setup. #### When NOT to rely on it * ❌ A divergence dot alone is never enough to trigger an entry. * ❌ In long sideways ranges, divergences appear constantly and most don't develop into real trends. *** ### 6. The "3D step" visual cue > This is **not a new signal**. It's a way the indicator **highlights** existing pullback signals. #### When it shows * A green 3D step appears in the Bull zone (40–43) when ▲+ or Buy Hidden just fired. * A red 3D step appears in the Bear zone (57–60) when ▼− or Sell Hidden just fired. #### Why it helps * When old signals stack up on the panel, the 3D step makes the eye **lock onto the freshest one**. * Bull steps climb up = visualizing "pushed up". * Bear steps fall down = visualizing "pressed down". #### Disabling it The effect is always on (no toggle). If your panel feels cluttered, reduce other layers (turn off EMA-9, turn off chart-overlay shapes) instead. *** ### 7. Priority order when multiple signals stack If 2–3 signal types appear in the last few bars, use this priority: 1. **Pullback Advanced (BUY/SELL ADV)** — top quality, full size. 2. **Hidden BUY/SELL co-located with a divergence dot** — A+, full size. 3. **Pullback ▲+ / ▼−** — standard, half-to-full size. 4. **Trap TB / TS** — short-term reversal, half size. 5. **Standalone divergence dot** — no entry, bias only. > Golden rule: **a newer signal overrides an older one if they conflict**. Don't be loyal to a stale signal once the market has shifted. *** ### 8. Built-in filters (already on) You don't need to configure these — the indicator handles them silently: * ✅ **Anti-spam**: after a fire, the system waits for a reset condition before allowing another same-type fire. * ✅ **Momentum confirmation**: the trigger bar must show body strength or RSI directional confirmation. * ✅ **Cooldown**: TB / TS enforce a minimum bar distance between fires. * ✅ **Bull/Bear scoping**: TB only fires inside Bull level, TS only inside Bear level. *** ### 9. Quick FAQ #### Q: Do these signals repaint? **A:** No. Signals only fire on closed bars. You may see flicker on the in-progress bar, but the final position locks at close. #### Q: Why do 1m / 5m charts spam signals? **A:** Lower TF = more noise. The logic still fires correctly but win rate drops. **Sweet spot: 15m, 1H, 4H**. #### Q: Old signals disappeared from history — bug? **A:** Pine Script caps labels / boxes per script. When the cap fills, the oldest are removed to make room. Only old visuals are affected — new signals are always correct. #### Q: How do Pullback and Pullback Hidden differ? **A:** Vanilla Pullback (▲+ / ▼−) only needs momentum + pullback. Hidden (BUY / SELL boxes) also requires hidden divergence → fewer fires, higher quality. *** > Signals are "green light, go" — not "you must enter now".
