All Inputs

Core Engine (pressure/probability calculation)

• TimeFrame — timeframe the readings are calculated on (default: current chart)
• ATRPeriod — volatility period used to normalise candle bodies
• ClipATR — caps bodies at ± this many ATR to control outliers
• FastLen — fast EMA length of the body pressure
• SlowLen — slow EMA length of body pressure; also the chop-gauge window
• VolLen — window used for the body-volatility z-score
• ZDead — |z| the pressure must exceed to flip trend direction
• PriceType — price used as "close" (close / median / weighted close / typical)

Display / Bar Colour Mode

• BarMeaning — what the histogram shows: raw pressure, odds lean, or combined
• CombineLen — bars used to scale pressure and lean onto the same axis (Combined mode)
• CombineDemean — removes trailing average pressure/drift first (Combined mode)
• LeanDead — |lean| below this is treated as neutral/grey (Lean mode)
• ConfirmLean — minimum odds-lean strength for the read-out to say CONFIRMED
• NeutralWhenFlat — greys the bar when |z| sits inside the dead-zone (Pressure mode)
• BarWidth — histogram bar thickness
• ScaleLimit — clipping/scale limit; keep matched to indicator min/max
• MaxBars — bars of history displayed on the chosen timeframe

Probability Model

• ImpulseZ — fast pressure needed in the trend direction (Pyramid Arrows)
• ExtendedZ — blocks Pyramid Arrows once slow pressure is beyond this (trend "mature")
• ClimaxATR — blocks Pyramid Arrows on a blow-off candle this large or bigger
• StrongMode — source for a "strong" colour: lift, pressure rank, or either
• StrongPct — percentile of Lookback that counts as a "strong" pressure rank
• Horizon — bars ahead over which follow-through is measured
• SideBand — band (× ATR × √Horizon) within which an outcome counts as sideways
• Lookback — bars of history the probabilities are learned from
• BandZ — kernel width on the pressure score
• BandER — kernel width on the efficiency ratio
• PriorWeight — pulls thin/rare samples toward the base rate
• MinWeight — widens the kernel for rare states until this much history is found (0 = off)
• StrongEdge — follow-through edge required for a "strong" colour / threshold lines
• SideLift — how far P(sideways) must exceed its base rate to turn a bar grey
• Hyst — hysteresis so bar colours don't flicker

Pyramid Arrows — Sensitivity & Custom Thresholds

• ArrowSensitivity — preset firing frequency (or Custom, using the 5 inputs below)
• ArrowLift — (Custom) required edge of P(direction) over its base rate
• ArrowEdge — (Custom) follow-through edge required, separate from colour threshold
• MinSamples — minimum independent-sample estimate required for an arrow
• ArrowCooldown — (Custom) minimum bars between arrows
• ArrowsOnClose — true = only fire on closed bars (no repaint/flicker)

Pyramid Arrows — Re-entry (Pullback) Signals

• ReentryArrows — enables marking pullback re-entries inside an existing trend
• ReentryZS — required slow-pressure strength already in the trend direction
• PullbackBars — bars looked back to find the dip
• PullbackZ — fast pressure must have dipped to this level or lower
• ResumeZ — fast pressure must recover back above this to trigger re-entry
• ReentryLift — required P(direction) edge over base rate
• ReentryEdge — required follow-through edge

Pyramid Arrows — Alerts & Chart Display

• AlertDesktop / AlertMobile — pop-up / push notification for each new Pyramid Arrow
• ShowSubArrows — show Pyramid Arrows inside the indicator sub-window
• ShowChartArrows — show Pyramid Arrows on the price chart
• PyramidUpCode / PyramidDnCode — Wingdings codes for the bullish/bearish arrow glyphs

Read-out Box (on-chart probability panel)

• ShowReadout — show/hide the probability read-out box
• ReadoutCorner — chart corner the box is anchored to
• ReadoutX / ReadoutY — offset from that corner, in pixels
• ReadoutWidth / ReadoutHeight — box size (height grows if more rows are needed)
• ReadoutBg — box background colour
• ReadoutPanelBg — background of the triangle panel on the left
• ReadoutDivider — divider line colour between panel and text
• ProbTextSize — font size of the probability line
• StatusTextSize — font size of the status line
• ReadoutGap — spacing between the box's text groups
• StatusTextColor — colour of the status line (except CONFIRMED, which uses the state colour)
• ReadoutBlue — colour used for the bullish state (triangles/text)
• RiskTextColor — colour of the BOUNCE RISK / PULLBACK RISK line

Entry Arrows — Master Switch

• EntryArrowOn — master on/off for both Pin Bar and Rounded Bottom entry signals

Pin Bar Entry Arrow

• PinBarOn — on/off for this pattern specifically
• EntrySwingLookback — bars used to confirm the signal candle is a genuine local swing
• EntryConfirmWithin — breakout must occur within this many bars, or setup expires
• EntryWickRatio — minimum rejection-wick fraction of the candle's range (key pin-bar tuning input)
• EntryRangeATR — minimum signal-candle range in ATR (expansion filter)
• EntryATRAvgLen — bars averaged to judge the prevailing ATR regime
• EntryATRRegime — signal candle's ATR must be at least this × the regime average
• EntryRequireBreak — confirmation candle must close beyond the signal candle's high/low
• EntryRequireCombined — sweep candle's own Combined reading must oppose the entry direction
• EntryPriceType — price type used for this pattern's own bullish/bearish/wick/break checks
• EntryRequireCloseThruSweepOpen — confirmation close must also clear the sweep candle's open
• EntrySweepDominanceMult — sweep candle's range vs. the local average range just before it (0 = off)
• EntrySweepDominanceLen — bars used for that local-average comparison
• EntryCooldownBars — bars to wait before another Pin Bar signal can fire
• EntryBlockAgainstSlowTrend — requires an established counter-move (slow pressure) opposing the entry
• EntryMaxAgainstSlowZ — threshold (in slow-pressure z) for the filter above
• EntryConfirmHoldBars — consecutive bars that must hold beyond the breakout level (1 = off)
• EntryConfirmBodyATR — minimum confirmation-candle body size in ATR (0 = off)
• EntryUpColor / EntryDnColor — arrow colours
• EntryArrowWidth — arrow size
• EntryUpCode / EntryDnCode — Wingdings glyph codes
• EntryAlertDesktop / EntryAlertMobile — independent alert switches for this pattern

Rounded Bottom Entry Arrow

• RoundedBottomOn — on/off for this pattern specifically
• RBLookback — bars examined as the candidate base/rounding window
• RBMinBars — minimum bars since the base's low before a breakout can confirm
• RBMinDeclineATR — minimum prior decline (in ATR) into the base — ensures a real move to round out from
• RBMaxRangeATR — maximum average candle range in the recovery leg (key rounded-bottom tuning input — defines the "calm" character)
• RBATRAvgLen — bars averaged for this pattern's own ATR regime
• RBRequireHigherLows — requires higher lows in the half closer to confirmation
• RBConfirmWithin — breakout must occur within this many bars or the setup expires
• RBCooldownBars — bars to wait before another Rounded Bottom signal can fire
• RBPriceType — price type used for this pattern's own checks
