FAQ

These are the questions most likely to show up once the first clean load is already on the chart. If you are still trying to get the baseline on the chart, start with Quick Start first. This page works best once the first clean load already makes sense.

Is this true footprint delta?

No.

This indicator estimates directional participation from OHLCV structure. It does not read exchange-side bid and ask classification. That estimate can still be useful, but it should be trusted as an estimate, not promoted into something the data source cannot provide.

Why did the script error as soon as I added it?

Most often, an enabled slot is below the chart timeframe.

The shipped enabled baseline uses 5, 15, and 60. On a chart above one of those values, you need to raise or disable the conflicting slot. Also make sure Lower TF Precision: stays below the slot timeframe and Window: stays at or above it.

How many slots should I start with?

Three weighted slots are enough for most first runs.

The indicator ships that way for a reason. The other seven slots are expansion space, not an obligation. Earn your way into the wider stack one role at a time.

How do I know which slots are confirmed and which are live-forming?

Check On Bar Close? slot by slot.

In Pro, confirmation is local to each slot. If you have mixed states in the stack, write them down or keep the live-forming slot visibly distinct so the timing mix does not become invisible.

Why did the blended pair disappear?

Because the blend has no active contributors.

That usually means every enabled slot that could feed the blend has Blended Weight: 0, or the blended plot is hidden and you assumed the logic vanished with it.

Why does a hidden slot still change the blend?

Because hide only affects drawing.

If the slot is still enabled and weighted, it is still part of the logic. Disable it or remove its blend weight if you want it out of the summary.

Why can a zero-weight slot still affect all-slot alerts?

Because weight only controls blend influence.

A zero-weight slot can still plot, still use slot alerts, and still count in all-slot agreement if it remains enabled.

What changes when I use Optional Ticker:?

That slot starts reading another symbol inside its own slot context.

It still keeps its own timeframe, window, smoothing, and confirmation posture. The result is then turned into the same bounded oscillator space as the rest of the stack. That makes comparison workable. It does not make the outside market equal confirmation.

Why do reset markers appear on some slots but not others?

Reset markers only belong to visible Session slots.

Rolling slots do not reset the same way, so they do not print those vertical markers.

How do I know whether lower-timeframe sampling was unavailable?

There is no special on-chart fallback marker in this build.

If lower-timeframe sampling is unavailable, the slot can fall back to a bar-level participation estimate instead. That means you should keep the estimate boundary in mind even when the pane looks smooth, especially when you are reviewing parts of the chart where intrabar history may be limited.

Do different MA families make the indicator smarter?

Not by themselves.

They give you different shaping behavior. That can be useful when you know why one slot needs a different response profile. It is not proof of better results by default.

What does master smoothing actually change?

It only changes the blended pair.

Master smoothing happens after the weighted blend exists. It does not rewrite the individual slot lines. That is why it should be treated as summary shaping, not as a fix for weak slot design.

Why can a line look down-tinted even when the bearish alert is not true?

Because the color logic and the bearish alert logic are not identical at exact equality.

If CVD and Signal are equal, you can sometimes see the down tint without satisfying the bearish alert condition.

Is all-slot agreement supposed to mean the trade is confirmed?

No.

It only means every enabled slot with a valid value currently agrees on direction. Hidden slots, zero-weight slots, alternate-ticker slots, and live-forming slots can all still be part of that agreement if they remain enabled.

What is the safest way to learn the Pro version?

Keep the first three active slots on the chart symbol, keep them confirmed, keep master smoothing off, and add one new role at a time.

That gives you one stack you can still explain before the wider surface starts asking more from your attention.
