Algo MS+Multi MM/MTF+IFVG+Alert (LoCo_)

## Algo MS+Multi MM/MTF (LoCo_) — ULTRA DETAILED VERSION (User Guide)

**Algo MS+Multi MM/MTF (LoCo_)** is an all-in-one indicator designed to combine:

* **Trend & direction** using **MAs + MTF MAs**
* **Market structure** (breaks / reversals / BOS / EPA / extremes)
* **Imbalance zones** using **IFVG**
* **Filtered technical signals** using **SMA7/EMA20 crossovers**
* **Instant multi-timeframe overview** using the **MTF table** (direction + exact level)

The script is **modular**: each block can be enabled/disabled to keep your chart clean.

# 1) Display Options (main menu)

In **Display Options**, you control the visibility of the 4 main visual modules:

### ✅ 1) MAs (current timeframe)

* **Show MAs**: displays the local moving averages (up to 8)
* **MA Labels**: displays dynamic “SMA/EMA + length” labels to the right of price

### ✅ 2) MTF MAs (Multi-Timeframe)

* **Show MTF MAs**: displays MAs calculated on other timeframes
* **MTF Label**: displays timeframe labels + dotted connector line to the label

### ✅ 3) IFVG

* **Show FVG**: enables/disables the IFVG module entirely

### ✅ 4) Signal 7/20 + Table

* **Signal 7/20**: enables/disables SMA7/EMA20 crossover signals + filters
* **Table**: shows the MTF table (bottom-left)

---

# 2) “MAs” module (current timeframe)

This module displays up to **8 configurable MAs** (length/color/width).

* Includes an **EMA 20** (instead of an SMA20)
* MAs act as:

* immediate trend direction
* dynamic reaction zones
* “living” support/resistance

### MA Labels

* Labels are dynamic and automatically reposition on the right.
* They display: **SMA7 / EMA20 / SMA50…** depending on the MA.

✅ Typical use:

* Price above main MAs = bullish bias
* Price below = bearish bias
* Reactions on EMA20/SMA50/SMA200 = key zones

---

# 3) “MTF MAs” module (Multi-Timeframe)

This block displays a **moving average computed on other timeframes** directly on your current chart.

### How it works

* You choose **one single MA length** (e.g., 800)
* You choose up to **7 timeframes**
* The script computes each HTF MA and plots it on your current timeframe

### Smart display

* If an MTF MA timeframe equals the chart timeframe, it is **hidden** (avoids duplicates)
* Unselected timeframes are not computed (optimization)

### MTF Labels + dotted connector line

* Label: shows the timeframe (e.g., 5min, 1H, 1D)
* Dotted line: links the MA to the label for instant readability

### MTF Mode: Confirmed vs Smoothed

* **Confirmed (no repaint)**: the HTF MA updates only when the HTF candle closes
→ recommended for signal/strict reading
* **Smoothed (repaint)**: smoother because it updates with the current forming HTF candle
→ recommended for a more continuous visual display

### Gaps (continuous / with breaks)

* **Continuous (gaps_off)**: continuous lines
* **With breaks (gaps_on)**: respects HTF structure and its step changes

✅ Typical use (example):

* On **M15**, display an MA from **H1 / H4 / Daily**
* This gives you macro bias and key zones without leaving your chart

# 4) IFVG (Inversion Fair Value Gaps)

This module detects **FVGs** and then displays only **inversions**:

* An FVG is an imbalance zone (a “structural gap”)
* An inversion happens when price crosses/invalidates the zone and may flip it into the opposite side

### IFVG Settings

* **Show Last**: how many recent IFVGs to display
⚠️ they appear in bull/bear pairs → increasing this may show more than expected
* **Signal Preference**

* Close: stricter signals
* Wick: more sensitive (uses wicks)
* **ATR Multiplier (default = 0.01)**
Filters out tiny zones:

* higher = fewer zones (stricter)
* lower = more zones (more sensitive)

✅ Typical use:

* IFVG = zones where price may:

* react (bounce/reject)
* accelerate (clean break)
* retrace into before continuation

---

# 5) Signal 7/20 (filtered crossovers) — anti-false-signal module

This module detects:

* **Buy**: SMA7 crosses above EMA20
* **Sell**: SMA7 crosses below EMA20

But most importantly, it can apply up to **6 filters** (each can be enabled individually).

## The 6 Filters

### 1) HTF trend filter (trend EMA)

Goal: avoid taking buys against the higher-timeframe trend.

* Buy allowed if HTF close > HTF EMA
* Sell allowed if HTF close < HTF EMA

### 2) Range/Trend filter

Goal: avoid signals inside a weak range.

* **ADX mode**: requires ADX > threshold
* **BB Width mode**: requires band width > threshold

### 3) Slope / momentum filter

Goal: don’t buy if the EMA isn’t rising.

* Buy: EMA > EMA[lookback]
* Sell: EMA < EMA[lookback]

### 4) Close confirmation filter

Goal: avoid crosses that happen right on the line.

* Buy: close above both SMA and EMA
* Sell: close below both SMA and EMA

### 5) ATR volatility filter

Goal: avoid markets that are too “tight” / low movement.

* ATR must be > ATR average * multiplier

### 6) Cooldown (anti-spam)

Goal: prevent signal clustering.

* enforces a minimum number of bars between signals

### Arrows

* Displayed above/below candles
* Size is adjustable

✅ Typical use:

* Scalping: HTF trend + Range/Trend + Cooldown (minimum)
* Intraday: add slope + close confirmation
* Volatile markets: enable ATR filter

---

# 6) MTF Table (direction + EXACT level)

The **table** (bottom-left) shows, for 4 selectable timeframes:

* **TF**
* **Break** (Bull/Bear)
* **Exact level** (precise crossover price)

### Exact level: why it matters

Instead of using the candle value, the script calculates the SMA/EMA intersection via **linear interpolation**:

* compute the difference (SMA - EMA)
* find where that difference crosses zero between bar [1] and bar [0]
→ gives a **more precise price** than using close/high/low.

✅ Typical use:

* quickly see where crossovers happened on M5/M15/M30/H1
* check if current price is above/below the exact level

---

# 7) Market Structure TF1 (break, reversal, BOS, EPA, extremes)

This market structure module displays:

* structure pivots (high/low)
* **ILQ (Break)**: break levels
* **TLQ (Reversal)**: reversal levels
* Optional **BOS**: BOS tags at breaks
* **EPA**: efficiency levels/zone (with optional delete unfilled)
* **Extreme**: extreme zones that extend while valid

✅ Typical use:

* identify key structural zones (break/reversal)
* use TLQ/ILQ as confirmation levels
* use EPA/Extreme as reaction/invalidation zones

---

# Suggested Workflows (practical examples)

## Workflow A — “Trend-follow” (simplest)

1. Enable **MAs** + **MTF MAs**
2. Set MTF MA timeframes to **H1/H4/D**
3. Bias:

* Price above MTF MA → long bias
* Price below → short bias
4. Use **Signal 7/20** only in the bias direction
5. Use **IFVG** as entry/return zones

## Workflow B — “Structure + confirmation”

1. Enable **Market Structure TF1**
2. Wait for a zone:

* TLQ / ILQ / EPA / Extreme
3. Use **Signal 7/20** as confirmation
4. Check the **MTF Table**:

* multiple TFs bullish → stronger confirmation

## Workflow C — “Entry on IFVG zone”

1. Enable IFVG
2. Spot a recent inversion zone
3. Wait for price to revisit the zone
4. Confirm using:

* EMA slope filter
* close confirmation
* (optional) HTF trend filter

---

# Quick recommended settings

### Scalping (M1/M3/M5)

* HTF trend: 15/60
* Range/Trend: ADX threshold ~20
* Cooldown: 8–15 bars
* IFVG ATR mult: 0.01 to 0.05 depending on volatility

### Intraday (M15/M30/H1)

* HTF trend: H1/H4
* Range/Trend: BB Width if you trade squeezes
* Close confirmation: ON
* IFVG: Show Last 3–8

---

## Important notes

* MTF **Smoothed (repaint)**: looks nicer but can repaint.
MTF **Confirmed (no repaint)**: recommended for strict reading.
* IFVG “Show Last”: may show more than expected because the system uses **pairs** (bull/bear + inversion), so it can scale non-linearly depending on market flow.
