Troubleshooting
Use this page when the pane looks wrong, feels inconsistent, or starts telling a story you cannot explain.
The fastest way through trouble with this indicator is to work from symptom to cause, not from guess to guess. Most problems come from a small set of settings relationships: timeframe legality, timing posture, slot participation, blend weight, and mixed-symbol assumptions.
When you troubleshoot, change one thing, confirm what changed, and then move on. Most confusion gets worse when timing, weights, and symbols are all moving at once.
Fast symptom table
The script throws a runtime error on load
Likely cause
One enabled slot `TimeFrame:` is below the chart timeframe.
How to confirm it
Compare:
- the chart timeframe
- `RSI 01 TimeFrame:`
- `RSI 02 TimeFrame:`
- `RSI 03 TimeFrame:`
Any enabled slot below the chart timeframe is the problem.
What to do
- raise the conflicting slot timeframe
- or disable that slot
Once the stack is legal, reload your baseline before tuning anything else.
A hidden slot is still affecting the read
Likely cause
`Hide RSI NN Plot` only removes the line from view.
How to confirm it
Check whether the slot is still:
- enabled
- alerting
- counted in alignment
What to do
If you want the slot gone from logic, turn off `Enable RSI NN`. If you only want less screen clutter, keep it hidden.
The blend disappeared
Likely cause
The blend has no weighted contributors.
That usually happens when:
- every enabled slot weight is `0`
- or the only weighted slots do not currently have valid values
How to confirm it
Check each enabled slot's `Blended Weight:` and restore at least one to a positive value.
What to do
- give at least one enabled slot a positive weight
- then confirm the blended RSI and Signal return
Treat an empty blend as "summary unavailable," not as a neutral read.
If the blend returning surprises you, that is a good sign to re-check which slots are weighted versus merely visible.
Alerts feel late
Likely cause
The script's alerts evaluate on chart bar close.
How to confirm it
Check whether you expected:
- intrabar alerts
- or still-forming requested-timeframe values to trigger immediate notifications
What to do
- adjust your expectation first
- then decide whether chart-close alerts still fit the job
- if timing still feels vague, re-read MTF and Repainting
The threshold lines feel wrong for RSI
Likely cause
You are reading `Overbought Level` and `Oversold Level` like untouched raw RSI thresholds.
How to confirm it
Compare one lightly smoothed slot against a standard RSI and notice that the pane is using a centered bounded system instead of a plain `0..100` raw RSI plot.
What to do
- treat the threshold lines as stretch markers inside this tool
- use them as review prompts, not automatic reversal rules
The alternate-symbol slot feels misleading
Likely cause
The outside symbol is carrying too much narrative weight.
How to confirm it
Ask:
- Is the outside slot still at `Blended Weight: 0`, or is it shaping the summary?
- Could I explain the workflow without claiming confirmation or causality?
What to do
- return the outside slot to a diagnostic role first
- compare the same setup with and without that slot
- only keep it if it adds context you can actually name
The line color looks bearish but the bearish alert did not fire
Likely cause
The read may be equal to its Signal rather than clearly below it.
How to confirm it
Check whether the slot or blend is sitting at a near-equality point around its Signal.
What to do
Do not treat the tint alone as the final answer. Use the actual regime definition:
- bullish means above
- bearish means below
If the values are equal, the visual can lean down without satisfying strict bearish state.
My settings now feel impossible to explain
Likely cause
Too many layers changed at once.
What to do
Reset by sequence, not by panic:
- make the slot ladder legal
- put every slot back on the chart symbol
- turn `On Bar Close?` on
- restore positive blend weights
- turn off master smoothing
- reintroduce changes one layer at a time
This is slower than guessing. It is much faster than rebuilding trust from a stack you cannot explain.
If you do not know which change broke the read, go all the way back to the simplest legal same-symbol baseline. That is usually the cleanest way to get your footing back.
When to stop troubleshooting and simplify
Simplify the stack if:
- you cannot explain why a slot is enabled
- you cannot tell which slot is shaping the blend
- you keep adjusting timing, weights, and alternate symbols together
- the manual starts feeling harder to follow than the chart itself
That is not failure. It is a signal that the workflow got ahead of your verification.
