FAQ

Use this page when you need a direct answer to one confusion point. If the question changes how you trust the stack, follow the linked page after the short answer.

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

Usually because at least one enabled slot TimeFrame: is below the chart timeframe, or because one enabled slot has Fast Length: greater than or equal to Slow Length:.

The default 5 / 15 / 60 stack is fine on a 1m or 5m chart. It is not safe on every chart timeframe.

Does this repaint?

The honest answer depends on timing mode.

• with On Bar Close? on, higher-timeframe slots use settled requested-timeframe values

• with On Bar Close? off, higher-timeframe slots can move while the requested bar is still forming

That is why the manual keeps talking about confirmed versus live-forming behavior instead of using one blanket slogan.

If this is the question you came here for, read MTF and Repainting next before you rely on the higher-timeframe slots.

Does Blended Weight: 0 turn a slot off?

No.

It removes that slot from the blend only. The slot can still plot, still fire slot alerts, and still count toward full-slot alignment as long as it remains enabled.

Why is a hidden slot still affecting my read?

Because Hide MACD NN Plot changes visibility, not logic.

If you want the slot fully gone, disable it with Enable MACD NN.

Why did the blended lines disappear?

Most often because every participating slot weight dropped to 0, or because the remaining contributors do not have usable values.

The blend is a weighted summary. If there are no weighted contributors left, there is nothing meaningful to plot.

Does overbought or oversold mean reversal?

No.

Those lines mark stretched blended conditions in this tool's terms. They can be useful context. They are not universal reversal instructions.

What does Optional Ticker: actually add?

It lets one slot read another symbol and translate that slot into the same bounded pane language.

That helps comparison. It does not prove leadership, confirmation, or causality.

If mixed-symbol context is part of your workflow, read Multi-Ticker Mixing before you let that slot shape the blend.

Why does a line look bearish even when the bearish alert did not fire?

Because the visual tint and the strict state test are not identical in every edge case.

If slot Fast equals slot Slow, the line can take the dimmer visual state even though the strict bearish condition is not yet true.

If alerts are checked on chart bar close, why can the higher-timeframe behavior still feel live?

Because chart-bar-close gating and higher-timeframe confirmation are different questions.

Alerts are checked on chart bar close. But if On Bar Close? is off, the higher-timeframe slot values feeding those alerts can still come from a requested bar that has not settled yet.

Should I use master smoothing right away?

Usually no.

It is better to learn the unsmoothed blend first. Master smoothing can calm the summary, but it also adds delay. If you turn it on before the baseline is clear, you are smoothing a read you do not understand yet.
