SFM3 Shadow for Gold
Scope: Gold (XAUUSD) only — timeframes M1, M5, M15, H1. The indicator refuses to load on any other timeframe.
A self-contained ZigZag/WPR arrow indicator with an embedded multi-degree structural model. It displays the current structural rank range, sample support, backoff level and observational confidence — without changing the original arrow logic.
Main features
- Standalone ZigZag engine — no external ZigZag dependency
- Williams %R signal layer with optional divergence filtering
- Optional pivot confirmation and session-only pivot locking
- Embedded SFM3 model: 637 candidate distributions, 158 backoff rows, five calibrated confidence buckets
- Multi-degree output: selected rank, P75, P90, sample support, backoff level
- Optional read-only chart panel
- Self-contained model with runtime CRC verification — no external BIN, DLL, WebRequest or subscription
- Public calculation buffers for EA / research access
- No trade execution; the original Buy/Sell arrows are unchanged
Supported scope — read before buying
Symbol: XAUUSD only
Timeframes: M1, M5, M15, H1 only
- The embedded SFM3 model was trained and calibrated on XAUUSD data only. On other symbols the arrows still render, but all SFM3 readings (scale, confidence, support) are outside the validated scope.
- On any timeframe other than M1 / M5 / M15 / H1 the indicator will not attach to the chart — initialization fails by design.
- Do not purchase if you intend to run it on forex pairs, metals other than gold, indices, or crypto.
Reading the panel
- Pivot: whether the forming structural event is a TOP or a BOTTOM
- Scale: the current structural rank shown as MINOR / MODERATE / MAJOR / EXTREME
- Likely: the expected final rank range (P75–P90)
- Confidence: calibrated probability that the final rank falls within ±1 of the selected rank — observational, not a win rate or entry probability
- Based on: how many similar pivots the model was trained on
Repaint and confirmation
InpConfirmBars=0 exposes the live repainting ZigZag tip. A positive value delays visible pivots according to the base arrow engine logic. SFM3 observes the raw structural event independently so its research contract stays consistent.
Limitations
- The indicator does not open, modify, or close trades
- SFM3 does not control the arrows in this version
- Confidence is observational — not a trading instruction
- Historical and strategy-test results do not guarantee future performance
