Settings

Axiom MA Pro has a wide control surface, but the logic repeats. That is the good news. You do not need to memorize 10 separate systems. You need one clean slot model, a sensible order for changing it, and the habit of verifying each change before you pile on the next one.

Use the settings in this order:

1. decide whether the slot should exist at all
2. choose the timeframe and symbol context
3. choose the MA model and length
4. decide how the slot defines trend state
5. decide whether the slot belongs in the blend
6. decide whether the slot should read confirmed or still-forming higher-timeframe data

That order matters because the biggest mistakes here usually come from changing later-stage refinements before the basic slot job is even clear.

Start with the repeated slot model

Slots MA 01 through MA 10 share the same main controls.

Out of the box:

• MA 01, MA 02, and MA 03 are enabled
• their default TimeFrame: values are 5, 15, and 60
• their default Length: is 20
• their default Type: is SMA
• their default Trend Length: is 3
• their default Blended Weight: is 33.3
• MA 04 through MA 10 are disabled and begin with Blended Weight: at 0
• later slots ship with blank TimeFrame: values, which fall back to the current chart timeframe if those slots are enabled

That makes the default experience a 3-layer MA ladder, not a 10-slot dashboard.

The shortest safe way to use this page

If you are still learning the indicator:

• touch Enable, TimeFrame:, Optional Ticker:, Length:, Type:, and Blended Weight: first
• leave power-user controls alone until the base stack already makes sense
• verify one change on-chart before making the next one
• keep cross-ticker slots at 0 blend weight until you have checked them against a separate chart

The goal is not to avoid customization. The goal is to make customization earn its place.

Core slot controls

Control — What it changes — When to touch it — Common mistake

• Enable MA XX — Turns a slot on or off — Add or remove a layer from the stack — Enabling extra slots before you know what job each one has
• Hide MA XX Plot — Hides the slot line without disabling the slot — Keep a slot active for logic or alerts while reducing chart clutter — Forgetting that hidden does not mean inactive
• Source: — Chooses the price series the MA uses — Compare closes with another source input — Assuming source changes are cosmetic when they can alter behavior materially
• TimeFrame: — Chooses the slot timeframe — Build a short, medium, and higher-timeframe ladder — Setting an enabled slot below the chart timeframe and triggering a runtime error
• Optional Ticker: — Requests the slot from another symbol, then remaps it into chart price space — Add one related market for context — Reading the remapped line as literal price equality
• Length: — Changes how responsive or slow the MA is — Tighten or smooth a slot — Treating a longer value as more trustworthy instead of simply slower
• Type: — Changes the MA model — Test a different smoothing style — Jumping between many MA types before your workflow is stable
• Trend Length: — Controls the slot's lookback for up/down state — Slow down or speed up state flips — Using a value of 0 or below and then thinking the slot is broken when it never reports an up-state
• Line Width: — Changes line thickness — Improve readability on a crowded chart — Treating visibility tweaks as logic changes
• Blended Weight: — Decides how much the slot affects the blended line — Emphasize or mute a slot in the summary — Forgetting that a zero-weight slot can still plot, alert, and count toward alignment

Two exact rules worth remembering

Blank TimeFrame: means chart timeframe

If a slot is enabled and its TimeFrame: field is blank, the script falls back to the current chart timeframe. That can be useful, but it is still something to choose deliberately rather than discover later by accident.

Trend Length: at 0 or below does not behave like a neutral setting

If Trend Length: is 0 or lower, that slot does not produce an up-state. The line can still plot, but the trend logic will not behave like most readers expect.

Why this matters: the slot can look "wrong" when it is actually following the coded rule; blend and alignment reads can become confusing if one slot is stuck on the down side for avoidable reasons.

What to verify after a core change

After you change any core slot control, check the smallest useful thing:

• If you changed TimeFrame:, confirm the slot is still legal on the current chart timeframe.
• If you changed Optional Ticker:, compare the remapped slot with the source market on a separate chart before you trust the comparison.
• If you changed Type: or Length:, confirm the line changed the way you expected before touching Trend Length:.
• If you changed Blended Weight:, confirm whether the blend changed while the slot's own line stayed the same.

Verification sounds slower than random tuning, but it is usually much faster than trying to unlearn a persuasive misunderstanding later.

Power-user controls

Every slot also has a power-user group. Those controls matter only when the slot setup calls for them.

• On Bar Close? — Choosing confirmed higher-timeframe values versus still-forming higher-timeframe values — You have not yet verified what live-forming mode changes on your chart
• ALMA Floor Offset? — Adjusting ALMA-specific offset handling — The slot is not using ALMA
• ALMA Offset: — Tuning ALMA placement behavior — The slot is not using ALMA
• ALMA Sigma: — Tuning ALMA smoothness — The slot is not using ALMA
• KAMA/FRAMA Fast: — Setting the fast side of adaptive smoothing — The slot is not using KAMA or FRAMA
• KAMA/FRAMA Slow: — Setting the slow side of adaptive smoothing — The slot is not using KAMA or FRAMA
• Jurik Phase: — Adjusting the Jurik-style phase setting — The slot is not using JMA
• Jurik Power: — Adjusting Jurik-style smoothing power — The slot is not using JMA
• Laguerre Alpha: — Adjusting Laguerre smoothing response — The slot is not using LAGUERRE
• VAMA Vol Length: — Choosing the volatility lookback for VAMA — The slot is not using VAMA

On Bar Close? is the one power-user control that changes trust posture, not just tuning. Learn that one early. Leave the rest alone until you have a concrete reason to need them.

Blend controls

Control — What it changes — Important note

• Enable Blended MA — Turns the blended line on or off — The slot stack still exists even if the blend is hidden or disabled
• Hide Blended MA Plot — Hides the blended line while leaving blend logic active — Useful when you want alignment and alerts without another visible line
• Line Width: — Changes only the blended line's thickness — This does not affect how the blend is calculated

The blended line listens only to enabled slots with non-zero weight. If a slot is active but its Blended Weight: is 0, that slot still exists. It simply drops out of blended math.

The three settings that shape trust the most

TimeFrame:

This decides whether the slot is even valid on your current chart and what layer of structure it is supposed to represent. A clever MA type cannot rescue a mismatched timeframe.

Blended Weight:

This decides how loudly a slot speaks inside the summary line. If the weight feels arbitrary, the blend will look clearer than the process behind it.

On Bar Close?:

This decides whether the slot reads the last closed higher-timeframe bar or the still-forming one. Use it as a declared trust choice, not as a quick way to make the chart feel faster.

Choosing MA types without drowning in options

The indicator routes through Axiom's MA library, which includes: SMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA, ALMA, SWMA, DEMA, TEMA, TRIMA, LSMA, KAMA, JMA, FRAMA, T3MA, VAMA, ZLMA, ZLEMA, LAGUERRE, and MCGINLEY.

That is a lot of choice. Treat it like room to refine a workflow, not a demand to optimize everything on day one.

A practical starting posture:

• pick one MA type for the first stack
• use the same type across the first 3 active slots
• learn how Length: and Trend Length: affect the workflow before you mix MA models
• move into advanced MA families only when you have a specific reason, not because the names sound more sophisticated

Settings combinations that usually work better than random exploration

Keep a clean base stack

• 2 to 3 active same-symbol slots
• confirmed mode on
• one MA type across the stack
• non-zero blend weights only for slots that truly belong in the summary

Add a diagnostic slot

• enable one extra slot
• set its Blended Weight: to 0
• keep it visible or hidden depending on what you are testing

This is useful when you want one additional read without letting it quietly steer the blended line.

Add cross-ticker context carefully

• start with one alternate-symbol slot only
• keep its weight at 0 until you have verified how it behaves
• compare it to the source market on a separate chart before treating it as meaningful context

Stop signs worth respecting

• You are changing several settings before checking what any one of them did.
• You added more slots because the chart felt uncertain, not because you had a new job for them.
• You are using heavier blend weights because a slot "feels right."
• You switched On Bar Close? off without deciding how that changes your expectations.

Those are the points where flexibility usually stops helping and starts hiding confusion.

What this page does not promise

• There is no one slot recipe that fits every market.
• More active slots do not automatically produce more reliable context.
• More advanced MA types do not automatically produce better decisions.
• A heavy blend weight does not make a slot more correct. It only makes that slot more influential.
