What Is Augury Grid?

Augury Grid v1.0 is an on-chart multi-symbol screener table. It monitors 8 tickers simultaneously and displays:

  • Live signals (BUY/SELL) with quality scores (0-100)
  • Real-time prices and profit targets
  • Signal age (how fresh it is)
  • P&L tracking (how the signal is performing)

Best for: Multi-asset traders, portfolio management, finding setups across watchlists

Fully Populated Augury Grid Table

We'll add a screenshot of a complete Augury Grid table showing multiple symbols with signals, quality ratings, prices, and performance metrics.

How to Read the Grid

The table displays 7 columns for each symbol:

Column What It Shows How to Use It
SYMBOL Ticker name Quick identification
SIGNAL BUY / SELL / - Current direction (green/red/gray)
SCORE 0-100 quality rating ⭐⭐⭐ Elite (80+), ⭐⭐ Premium (60-79), ⭐ Standard (40-59)
PRICE Current price Real-time market price
TP1 First target Auto-calculated profit target (ATR-based)
AGE Bars since signal 0-5 = fresh, 6-15 = moderate, 16+ = stale
P&L Performance since signal Green = winning, red = losing

Workflow: Finding Opportunities

1. Glance at Grid (10 seconds)

Scan for signals: - ⭐⭐⭐ Elite (80-100) or ⭐⭐ Premium (60-79) signals - AGE 0-10 bars (fresh signals) - Green P&L (if signal already triggered, it's working)

2. Identify Best Setup (30 seconds)

Example: 

BTC/USD │ BUY │ 87 ⭐⭐⭐ │ $64,250 │ $65,800 │ 2 │ +0.3%
- Elite signal (87) - Fresh (2 bars old) - Already showing profit (+0.3%) - Action: Investigate this setup

Augury Grid Elite Signal Example (Annotated)

We'll add an annotated Augury Grid row showing an Elite quality signal (87+ score) with labels explaining the signal strength, age, and profit indicators.

3. Verify on Chart (2 minutes)

Click the chart to load BTC/USD and check the following: - [ ] At support level or key zone? (Use Janus Atlas) - [ ] Volume confirming? (Use Volume Oracle) - [ ] No major resistance overhead? - [ ] Aligns with trading bias?

4. Further Analysis (Educational Example)

Note: The following are educational examples only - not trading instructions.

  • Example entry consideration: Current price or limit order (hypothetical illustration)
  • Example stop concept: Below recent low for longs or above recent high for shorts (educational example)
  • Example target concept: TP1 from Grid as a reference point (illustrative)
  • Monitoring approach: P&L column Observe for educational tracking

Quality Tiers (Educational Reference)

Note: These tiers are for educational understanding only. Not trading recommendations.

Score Quality Symbol Confluence Educational Example Approach
80-100 ⭐⭐⭐ Elite Multiple factors aligned Highest Often considered first (educational example)
60-79 ⭐⭐ Premium Strong setup Strong Standard evaluation approach (illustrative)
40-59 ⭐ Standard Basic setup Acceptable Selective analysis (educational example)
0-39 Weak Poor confluence Low Typically skipped

Common Mistakes & Fixes

🔍 Screener Troubleshooting Flowchart

Follow this diagnostic flow if Augury Grid isn't working:

Most Common Issue: Wrong ticker format. Always use EXCHANGE:SYMBOL format (e.g., BINANCE:BTCUSDT, not just BTCUSDT). Right-click any symbol → Copy Symbol to get the correct format.

Mistake #1: Wrong Ticker Format

❌ Problem: Symbols show no data or "N/A"

✅ Fix: - Use the exact TradingView format: BINANCE:BTCUSDT not BTC or BTCUSD - Include the exchange prefix - Test ticker on chart first before adding to Grid

Mistake #2: Trading Every Signal

❌ Problem: Taking too many trades, overtrading

✅ Fix: - Focus on ⭐⭐⭐ Elite and ⭐⭐ Premium signals only - Set Min Score to 60+ in settings - Verify chart before entering

Mistake #3: Chasing Old Signals

❌ Problem: Entering when AGE > 15 bars

✅ Fix: - Check AGE column - If >15 bars, signal is likely stale - Look for fresh signals (0-10 bars) instead

Mistake #4: Ignoring P&L Column

❌ Problem: Not checking if signal is working

✅ Fix: - If P&L shows -5% and age is high, skip it—signal failed - If P&L is green and signal is fresh, it's confirming—good sign - Use P&L to validate signal quality

Mistake #5: Not Verifying Context

❌ Problem: Blindly trading Grid signals without chart confirmation

✅ Fix: - Load the chart - Check support/resistance levels - Verify volume and structure - Grid finds opportunities; confirm with context

Advanced Tips

Tip #1: Mix Timeframes

Set different timeframes for each symbol: 

Symbol 1-2 (crypto): 1H
Symbol 3-4 (stocks): 4H
Symbol 5-6 (scalp): 15m
Symbol 7-8 (swing): Daily
Why: Scan multiple horizons simultaneously

Tip #2: Scan Same Ticker, Multiple Timeframes

Symbol 1: SPY 15m (scalps)
Symbol 2: SPY 1H (day trades)
Symbol 3: SPY 4H (swings)
Why: Multi-timeframe confluence See for one asset

Tip #3: Use 2 Grid Instances

  • Grid 1: 8 crypto pairs (1H)
  • Grid 2: 8 stock tickers (4H)
  • Total: 16 symbols monitored

How: Augury Grid Add twice to same chart

Tip #4: Track Performance by Tier

After 20+ trades, win rate Calculate: - How many Elite signals won? - How many Premium signals won? - Adjust the Min Score filter based on results

Workflow Example (Real Scenario)

8:00 AM: Grid Check

Grid shows: 

AAPL │ BUY │ 91 ⭐⭐⭐ │ $175.20 │ $177.80 │ 1 │ +0.1%
TSLA │ SELL │ 43 ⭐ │ $245.90 │ $242.10 │ 18 │ -2.3%
BTC  │ BUY │ 78 ⭐⭐ │ $64,250 │ $65,800 │ 5 │ +0.8%

Analysis: - AAPL: Elite signal (91), fresh (1 bar), already working (+0.1%) ✅ - TSLA: Standard signal (43), stale (18 bars), losing (-2.3%) ❌ Can be skipped - BTC: Premium signal (78), moderate age (5 bars), working (+0.8%) ✅

Action: Focus Place on AAPL and BTC

8:05 AM: AAPL Load the chart - At Janus support: ✅ - Volume spike visible: ✅ - No resistance overhead: ✅ - Decision: Long AAPL consideration at $175.50

8:10 AM: BTC Load the chart - Breaking out of consolidation: ✅ - Higher timeframe aligned: ✅ - Decision: Long BTC consideration at $64,300

Throughout day: Monitor the P&L column to track trades

4:00 PM: Results - AAPL hit TP1 at $177.80 (+1.3%) - BTC still running, stop moved to breakeven

Why This Matters

Without Augury Grid:

  • Manual flipping through 8-20 charts is required
  • You might miss signals while looking at other symbols
  • No systematic quality scoring available
  • Multiple setups are hard to track

With Augury Grid:

  • All 8 symbols See in one glance (10 seconds)
  • Quality scores show what's worth investigating
  • Track performance in real-time
  • Focus Place on best opportunities

Bottom line: 30+ minutes per scan saved, catch more opportunities, only the best setups are traded.

Common Questions

Q: Can I add more than 8 symbols? A: Not in one Grid (performance limit). But 2 Grid instances Add = 16 symbols total.

Q: What if a symbol shows no data? A: The following Check: (1) Ticker format correct? (2) Exchange prefix included? (3) Available on TradingView plan?

Q: Should I trade every Elite signal? A: No. Elite = high quality potential, but context, levels, and trading plan verify. No system is 100%.

Q: Can I get alerts from the Grid? A: No (table indicators cannot create alerts). Workaround: When Elite signal is seen, set a manual alert on that symbol's chart.

Q: How often does it update? A: Every bar close on configured timeframes. If Symbol 1 is set to 15m, it updates every 15 minutes.

What You've Learned
  • Multi-Symbol Scanning Setup: Configure Augury Grid to simultaneously monitor up to 8 symbols on a single chart by entering ticker symbols in indicator settings (Symbol 1 through Symbol 8)
  • Elite Signal Identification: Recognize high-probability setups when grid cells display "Elite" designation - indicating multiple TD Sequential factors aligning (count nearing 9, momentum confirming, price at key level)
  • Timeframe Synchronization: All symbols in the grid use the same timeframe as your active chart - switch chart timeframe to scan different intervals simultaneously across all symbols
  • Signal Interpretation: Grid shows Green 9 (oversold exhaustion), Red 9 (overbought exhaustion), count progress (1-8), and neutral status - "Elite" signals require additional context verification before trading
  • Workflow Integration: Use Grid for opportunity discovery (scan multiple symbols), then switch to individual charts for detailed analysis with Pentarch, Janus Atlas, and other indicators before execution
  • Layout Optimization: Choose grid layouts (5×8, 6×6, 8×5, 10×4) based on number of symbols monitored and available screen space - Grid adapts to show all configured symbols
  • Limitation Awareness: Grid cannot create TradingView alerts (table indicators don't support alerts) - workaround is manual alerts set on individual symbol charts when Grid shows Elite signals

Next Steps: Review Full Augury Grid Documentation for advanced settings and scoring details, or explore Alert Setup Guide for individual symbol notification configuration.
