FAQ

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

At least one enabled slot timeframe is lower than the chart timeframe. The default stack uses 5, 15, and 60, so it will fail on higher chart timeframes unless you raise or disable the conflicting slot. Start by checking TimeFrame: on every enabled slot.

Why is a hidden slot still affecting the indicator?

Because hidden is not the same thing as disabled.

Hide MA 0x Plot only removes the line from view. The slot can still stay active for:

• the blend, if its weight is above 0
• slot alerts
• full-slot alignment

If you want the slot gone from logic, disable it instead.

Why did setting a slot weight to zero not remove that slot from all alerts?

Because weight controls blend participation, not slot existence.

A weight-zero slot is ignored by the blended pair, but it can still:

• plot
• change state
• fire slot alerts
• count toward all-slots bullish or bearish alignment

If you want the slot gone from those surfaces too, disable it.

What actually changes when I turn On Bar Close? off?

The whole stack shifts from confirmed higher-timeframe behavior to live-forming higher-timeframe behavior. That means the slots can move sooner, but those values are less final until the requested higher-timeframe bar closes. In this lite build, the switch is global, so all active slots inherit it together.

Does this indicator repaint?

The useful answer is more specific than yes or no.

If On Bar Close? is on, the stack uses confirmed higher-timeframe values. If it is off, the stack can follow still-forming higher-timeframe values.

So the real question is not "Is it pure?" The real question is "Am I reading confirmed or still-forming higher-timeframe values right now?"

Can I mix another ticker into the stack and treat that as confirmation?

No. You can treat it as context.

The mixed-symbol slot is designed to make cross-symbol comparison more workable inside one bounded pane. That is useful. It still does not prove causality, leadership, or a reliable confirmation relationship by itself.

Why are the slot colors changing when I cannot see a slot Slow line?

Because the slot Slow line is internal, not plotted.

The slot color reflects Fast versus Slow, even though you only see the slot Fast line. That is why the color can change before the visual shape looks dramatic.

Why did master smoothing make the pane look better but feel later?

Because master smoothing adds another smoothing pass to the blended pair after the raw blend already exists.

That can calm the summary. It can also add lag. If the smoother version looks cleaner but makes the workflow harder to use honestly, turn it back off.

Do overbought and oversold mean price has to reverse?

No.

Those lines are reference levels inside this indicator's normalized space. They tell you the blended Fast reading is getting stretched relative to the current configuration. They do not promise reversal by themselves.

Why is the blend bullish when all-slots bullish is not firing?

Because those are different conditions.

The blend is a weighted summary. All-slots bullish requires every enabled slot with valid data to agree. One lower-weight or weight-zero slot can still block alignment while the blend stays bullish.

Should I trust the blend first or alignment first?

Trust neither by default. First trust your ability to explain the slot stack.

After that:

1. use the blend when you want a weighted summary
2. use alignment when your workflow actually needs all enabled slots to agree

If you cannot say which job you need, the safer move is to keep reading the slots directly for a while longer.

Should I start with mixed symbols, custom weights, and live-forming timing right away?

Probably not.

The cleaner first path is:

1. same-symbol stack
2. legal timeframes
3. confirmed mode
4. visible slots
5. default weights

Once that feels predictable, the more advanced features become much easier to use without telling yourself stories.
