SPX Specter v5.1 - Institutional Confluence Engine

Built for intraday traders who want clean, actionable signals without the noise. Specter combines VWAP structure, multi-timeframe trend analysis, and quality-gated signals into one overlay — no separate panes, no
clutter.

What it does:
Specter watches for two high-probability setups during the morning session when SPY has the most edge, and marks exact entries with stop-loss and take-profit levels drawn on chart.

Signals:
- Breakout (ORB) — First clean break of the 15-minute opening range. One entry per day, no whipsaws. Requires volume confirmation.
- Pullback (PB) — Trend pullback to EMA 20 or VWAP with breakout confirmation. Uses a Setup → Arm → Confirm chain so you only enter after the bounce is validated.

Every signal must pass binary quality gates before firing:
- ADX trend strength
- EMA 20/50 spacing (no bunched-EMA fakes)
- Relative volume (institutional participation)
- VWAP alignment (longs above, shorts below)
- Multi-timeframe trend (15m + 1H + 4H weighted)
- VIX filter (suppresses signals when VIX > 30)

Key Levels on Chart:
- VWAP with ±1σ and ±2σ bands
- EMA 20 / 50 (200 optional)
- 15-minute Opening Range box
- Overnight (Globex) High / Low
- Previous Day High / Low / Close
- Globex Trap labels (sweep + reverse at overnight levels)

Dashboard:
Compact panel showing session window, market regime (Uptrend / Choppy / Wild), trend strength, volume, higher-timeframe bias, VIX status, nearest key level, and active signal — all in plain English.

Anti-Overtrade:
- Max signals per day cap
- Cooldown between signals
- Pullback setups expire after 20 minutes
- Breakout locks after first entry

Built for: SPY, SPX, ES, MES on 2-minute to 15-minute charts. Parameters are pre-tuned from one year of backtesting on SPY 2m.

Works best: Morning session (9:30 AM – 12:00 PM ET) where intraday edge is strongest.
