Quick Start

This page is about the shortest correct first run.

The goal is not to build your final workflow in one sitting. The goal is to get one clean chart state running, understand why it is valid, and leave with a baseline that is calm enough to learn from.

Before you add the indicator

Check your chart timeframe first.

The shipped defaults enable:

• BB 01 on 5
• BB 02 on 15
• BB 03 on 60

Every enabled slot must use a timeframe at or above the chart timeframe. If your chart is above one of those enabled values, you need to raise or disable that slot before the script can run cleanly.

That check matters because a runtime error here usually means mismatch, not failure. Fix the chart-to-slot relationship first, then judge the indicator.

Option A: use the default stack as intended

Use this path when your chart timeframe is 5 minutes or lower.

1. Add Axiom BB Lite to the chart.
2. Confirm that you can see 3 slot envelopes and 1 blended band with fill.
3. Open the settings panel and confirm On Bar Close? is still enabled.
4. Change one active slot's Blended Weight: for a moment and confirm the blended band moves while that slot's own envelope stays where it is.
5. Change the weight back after the check so you are back on the default profile.
6. Say what you are looking at in plain language: 3 active same-symbol slots, 1 blended summary, whole stack still in confirmed mode.

What you should understand before moving on:

• the default profile is a 3-layer same-symbol stack
• the blend is being shaped by slot weights, not by magic
• the whole stack is still in confirmed mode

Option B: adapt the stack to your current chart first

Use this path when your chart timeframe is above 5 minutes, or when you already know you do not want the default 5 / 15 / 60 ladder.

1. Add the indicator.
2. Open the settings panel immediately.
3. For each enabled slot, compare TimeFrame: to the chart timeframe.
4. Raise any conflicting slot timeframe, or disable that slot entirely.
5. Confirm that the runtime error is gone and the chart now draws only the layers you intended to keep.
6. Confirm On Bar Close? is enabled while you are learning the indicator.
7. Stop there and read the chart once before adding alternate tickers, ALMA tuning, or alerts.

This is usually the better first path on higher chart timeframes. It teaches fit first instead of letting a bad first impression do the teaching for you.

First sanity checks

Run these checks before you design workflows or alerts. They are quick, and each one teaches a rule you will need later.

If one of those checks surprises you, pause there. That is exactly the kind of misunderstanding this indicator can hide under a neat-looking chart.

A sensible first configuration

If you are learning the indicator, keep the first session simple:

• use no more than 3 active slots
• keep all 3 on the same symbol
• leave the stack in confirmed mode
• use one basis type across the first stack before mixing styles
• add alerts only after you can explain what each active slot is contributing

Before you move on

You are ready for the next page when you can answer these without guessing:

• Which active slot has the lowest timeframe on your chart?
• Is the stack running in confirmed mode or live-forming mode?
• Which active slots are shaping the blend right now?

Once that version makes sense, move to MTF and Repainting, then Settings, then Visuals and Logic.
