Strategies

Most trading ideas die untested. The thesis lives in your head — a crossover filtered by volume, a mean reversion entry gated on volatility, an exit ladder that scales out in thirds — and it stays there because the di...

Axiom Strategy Lab Pro

Introduction

This page walks you through your first honest run of Axiom Strategy Lab Pro — from adding the script to your chart through the first checkpoint where you can confirm the engine is reading your rules the way you intend...

Quick Start

Before you read any detail on this page, understand the shape of the system. The strategy builder has a hierarchy, and if you skip the hierarchy and jump into individual fields, you will spend hours debugging problems...

Rules & Risk

Every number in the Properties and Inputs tabs shapes your results. Some shape them a lot. This page groups settings by how much they affect what the strategy tester reports, so you can focus your attention where it m...

Settings

Every expression you write in the YAML references named values called tokens. The engine refreshes the entire token map on every bar before evaluating any of your expressions. When you write `PRICE_CLOSE > 50000`, the...

Default Tokens

Every condition in your YAML — every gate, trigger, activation, cancellation, and price calculation — is an expression. This page documents the complete expression language: what you can write, how it evaluates, and w...

Expression Reference

This page documents every field the engine accepts in each YAML section, what each field does, and why you would use it. If you want to understand how the pieces interact — how setups gate entries, how exits target en...

YAML Reference

This page walks through four complete strategy configurations — from simple to complex — using only default tokens and custom tokens you connect from standard indicators. Each example includes all required YAML fields...

Workflows

This page is about what the strategy tester actually does when it evaluates your rules — and where the gap between its simulation and real trading can mislead you. If you only read one page after the quick start, make...

Backtesting & Realism

This page covers what TradingView alerts can and cannot do when attached to Axiom Strategy Lab Pro, and where the gap between the strategy tester's simulation and real-world execution creates risk you need to understa...

Alerts & Automation

Optimization in this context means changing your strategy's parameters — setup conditions, entry triggers, exit levels, allocation sizes, confirmation counts, cooldown bars — and observing how the results change. That...

Optimization

This is a repeatable routine for building, testing, and iterating on strategies in Axiom Strategy Lab Pro. It is not a workflow for one specific kind of strategy — it is a discipline that applies to every strategy you...

Operating Checklist

This page is organized by what you see, not by what subsystem caused it. Start from the symptom. The causes and fixes follow.

Troubleshooting

This page is for readers who want to understand why the strategy engine behaves the way it does — not just what it does. It covers the five internal mechanics that shape how your rules are actually processed. Understa...

Indicators

If you have ever run three stochastic oscillators on three different timeframes and tried to hold them all in your head at once, you already know the problem. The 5-minute stochastic says bearish, the 15-minute says b...

Axiom Stoch Osc Pro

This page gets you from "indicator added" to "I understand what I am looking at" in the shortest safe path. It does not explain every setting or every visual element — those live in [Settings](settings.md) and [Visual...

This page documents every high-impact setting in the indicator, organized by functional group. For each setting you will find: what it does, the default value, when you might change it, what to watch for if you push i...

This page teaches you how to read what the indicator draws — not just what each element is, but what the states and transitions mean, where the reading is genuinely informative, and where it can mislead you if you rea...

Visuals & Logic

The indicator offers up to 39 alert conditions: three per slot across ten slots (30 total), seven blended alerts, and two alignment alerts. That is a lot of alerts. Most of them are not useful all at once. This page d...

Alerts

This is not a disclaimer page. It is not here to protect anyone legally or to say "past performance does not guarantee future results" in a dozen different ways. It is here because the tool has real limits, and unders...

Limitations & Trust Boundaries

This page teaches concrete routines for using the indicator — not generic advice, but specific patterns you can follow with the tool open in front of you. It also documents the anti-patterns: the habits that look prod...

Multi-timeframe indicators have a repainting problem that most people do not think about until it costs them something. The cost is usually not one dramatic trade. It is the slow erosion of trust in your own review pr...

MTF & Repainting

This page is optional. You can use the indicator correctly without reading it. But if you are the kind of person who wants to understand what happens between the raw price data and the line on your chart, what the pro...

Quick answers to the most common points of confusion. Each answer links to the page where the topic is covered in depth.

This page is organized by what you see (the symptom), what is likely causing it, and what to do about it. Problems fall into three categories: setup errors (you configured something incorrectly), interpretation errors...

Stochastic oscillators measure where price closed relative to its recent range. That idea is simple enough. The trouble starts when a trader tries to use it across multiple timeframes.

Axiom Stoch Osc Lite

This page gets you from adding the indicator to confirming it works. No deep mechanics here — just the path to a working display and the traps that catch people on first load.

Every input the indicator exposes is documented here, grouped by function. For each setting, you will find the default, what it changes in practice, the tradeoff, and where it can hurt you if pushed too far.

This page teaches you how to read the oscillator display — what each element means, what the colors tell you, how to distinguish between slot-level and blend-level information, and what deserves your attention versus...

Visuals and Logic

The indicator supports alerts across three categories: per-slot conditions, blended conditions, and alignment conditions. Every alert fires only on confirmed (closed) bars — no alert will trigger mid-bar, regardless o...

Every tool has an honest perimeter — the line where what it can show you ends and what you still need to figure out on your own begins. This page maps that perimeter for the Axiom Stoch Osc Lite. Nothing here is an ap...

Limitations and Trust Boundaries

This page walks through concrete ways to use the oscillator in practice — validated patterns that real workflows benefit from, anti-patterns that waste time or create false confidence, and a scenario walkthrough that...

If you use this oscillator on any timeframe higher than the chart timeframe — which is the entire point of a multi-timeframe tool — you need to understand what "higher-timeframe data" means in practice and what the On...

This page is organized by symptom. Find what you are seeing, then follow the diagnosis. Each entry helps you distinguish a setup error from a misunderstanding from a genuine product boundary.

RSI is the indicator almost everyone learns first. Because it is familiar, people stop questioning it. They add RSI to a single timeframe, see a number, and act on gut feel dressed up as analysis. When they try to get...

Multi-timeframe MACD analysis sounds like one of those things every serious trader should be doing. In practice, almost nobody does it well — because the tools make it unreasonably hard.

Axiom MACD Osc Pro

The point of this page is to get the indicator running, confirm it is doing what it should, and catch the things that make most people think the tool is broken on first contact — before they cost you time or confidence.

This indicator has the widest settings surface of any Axiom oscillator. Ten independent MACD slots, each with its own timeframe, ticker, MA types, lengths, weights, repaint toggle, and full Power User parameters — plu...
