# Quick Start

This page is about the shortest correct first run, not the most interesting custom stack you might build later. The goal is simple: get one legal stack on the chart, confirm what the pane is showing, and leave with a baseline you can explain. That makes later customization much safer. Why this matters: most early confusion with this indicator does not come from installation. It comes from getting a chart to "work" before you can say what is shaping the blend, what is still forming, and what changed when you touched a setting.

Pick one path before you start

- If your chart timeframe is 5m or lower, use Option A. - If your chart timeframe is above 5m, use Option B. Do not combine both paths on the first pass. Reach one stable result first.

For this first run, leave these alone unless the page tells you otherwise:

• Optional Ticker:
• custom MA-family mixes
• master smoothing
• live-forming timing

Check this before you add the indicator

Look at the chart timeframe before anything else.

The default stack enables:

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

Every enabled slot must stay at or above the chart timeframe. If the chart is above one of those slot values, fix that conflict before you expect the script to run normally.

Option A: use the default stack as intended

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

1. Add Axiom MA Osc Lite to the chart.
2. Confirm the pane shows three slot Fast lines and one blended Fast/Slow pair.
3. Open settings and confirm On Bar Close? is enabled.
4. Confirm the slot TimeFrame: values are still 5, 15, and 60.
5. Leave Optional Ticker: blank on all three slots for the first pass.
6. Keep the default 33.3 blend weight on each slot.

What you should understand before moving on:

• the first view is a same-symbol three-slot oscillator ladder
• the slot Slow lines are working internally even though only the slot Fast lines are plotted
• the blended pair is summarizing the current slot stack, not inventing a fourth opinion
• the whole stack is currently using confirmed higher-timeframe values

Option B: adapt the stack to your chart first

Use this path when your chart timeframe is above 5m, or when you already know the default ladder does not fit the chart you are using.

1. Add the indicator.
2. Open settings immediately.
3. Compare every enabled slot TimeFrame: to the chart timeframe.
4. Raise any conflicting slot timeframe, or disable that slot.
5. Confirm the runtime error is gone.
6. Leave On Bar Close? enabled while you learn the stack.
7. Keep all slots on the chart symbol for now.

That slower setup is better than forcing the shipped defaults onto a chart they do not fit. The point is not to preserve the factory ladder. The point is to reach one valid stack you can read honestly.

First sanity checks

Run these checks before you build alerts or workflows around the pane.

If one of those checks surprises you, pause there. That is exactly the kind of confusion this page is trying to catch early.

If you want one fast read order while the pane is still new, use this:

1. make sure the stack is legal on the chart
2. identify which slots you can actually see
3. identify which slots are shaping the blend
4. verify whether the whole stack is confirmed or live-forming

A sensible first configuration

• use the chart symbol in every slot
• keep On Bar Close? on
• leave master smoothing off
• keep all active weights positive
• start with one MA type across the whole stack before mixing styles
• add alerts only after you can explain what each slot is contributing

The shortest first verification routine

1. Confirm the pane stays inside the bounded oscillator range.
2. Confirm each slot line changes color when its Fast side moves above or below its internal Slow side.
3. Confirm the blended pair changes when you change one slot weight.
4. Confirm the chart still behaves the same after you return that weight to its original value.

If those four checks pass, you have a usable baseline. If one check fails, do not compensate with more settings. Go back to the point that failed and make it explainable first.

Before you move on

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

• Which enabled slot has the lowest timeframe on your chart?
• Is the stack confirmed or live-forming right now?
• Which slots are shaping the blend, and which ones are only there for local context?

If those answers are still fuzzy, do not optimize the stack yet. Go to MTF and Repainting, then come back.
