Volume Oracle v1.0 Quick Reference
One-page cheat sheet for regime detection, signals, and risk management
🎯 The 5 Systems
| System | Display | Purpose | Key Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regime Detection | 🟩🟥 Background + Meter | Market Phase | Green = Accumulation, Red = Distribution, Gray = Neutral, Gold = Weakening. Regime Meter shows state, strength, health, confirmation counter, flow, duration |
| Signal Generation | ⬆️⬇️ BULL/BEAR Labels | Event Detection | Signals with ⭐⭐⭐ quality ratings (80-100%, 60-79%, 40-59%) |
| Risk Management | 📍 Price Lines | Trade Levels | Auto-calculated Entry, Stop, T1, T2 with position sizing |
| HTF Confirmation | ✅❌ Alignment Status | Multi-Timeframe | Checks if higher timeframe regime agrees with signal |
| Strategy Modes | ⚙️ Mode Setting | Trading Approach | Trend Following, Mean Reversion, or Hybrid (default) |
📊 Signal Quality Ratings
| Rating | Quality % | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| ⭐⭐⭐ | 80-100% | High Quality | Strong confluence → Full position size, high confidence |
| ⭐⭐ | 60-79% | Medium Quality | Good setup → Moderate position size |
| ⭐ | 40-59% | Lower Quality | Caution → Reduced size or skip |
⚡ Quick Interpretation Guide
Regime Colors
- Green background: Accumulation regime → Favor BULL signals
- Red background: Distribution regime → Favor BEAR signals
- Gray background: Neutral regime → Wait for direction or be selective
- Gold background: Weakening regime → Protect profits, tighten stops
Regime Meter Table (6 Rows)
| Row | What It Shows | Example |
|---|---|---|
| State | Current regime | Accumulation, Distribution, Neutral |
| Strength | How strong (0-100%) | 78% |
| Health | Warning count (0/1/2/3+) | 🟢 HEALTHY, 🟡 WATCH, 🟠 CAUTION, 🔴 DANGER |
| Confirm | Bars building | ↑4 (4 bars) |
| Flow | Buy/sell direction | Bullish, Bearish, Mixed |
| Duration | How long in regime | 23 bars |
Regime Status (Early Warnings)
- ✓ STRONG: All good → Trade normally
- 📉 FADING: Slowing down → Tighten stops
- ⚡ WEAKENING: May flip soon → Reduce size
- ⚠️ CRITICAL: About to flip → Consider exit
Warning types: Price slowing, Buyers/sellers mixed, Volume dropping
Volume Bar Coloring
- Bright Green: Strong buyers (>70%)
- Soft Green: Moderate buyers (50-70%)
- Bright Red: Strong sellers (>70%)
- Soft Red: Moderate sellers (50-70%)
- Gold: Weakening (be careful)
- Gray: No clear direction
HTF Alignment
- BULL + HTF Aligned: Higher TF also in Accumulation → Higher probability
- BEAR + HTF Aligned: Higher TF also in Distribution → Higher probability
- Signal + HTF Not Aligned: Conflicting timeframes → Lower probability, reduce size
🤝 Best Combinations
The Trinity (Highest Probability)
- ✅ Pentarch cycle signal (TD, IGN, CAP, etc.)
- ✅ Janus Atlas level within 1-2%
- ✅ Volume Oracle BULL/BEAR ⭐⭐⭐ signal with HTF aligned
Example: Pentarch TD at Daily Low + BULL ⭐⭐⭐ + HTF Aligned = Very high probability setup
With Janus Atlas
- BULL signal at Daily/Weekly Low = Strong support confluence
- BEAR signal at Daily/Weekly High = Strong resistance confluence
- Accumulation regime + Janus Level = High-probability reversal area
With Plutus Flow
- Bullish divergence + BULL signal = Confirmation of reversal
- Bearish divergence + BEAR signal = Confirmation of top
⚙️ Recommended Settings
Scalping (1m-5m charts)
- Strategy Mode: Trend Following
- Focus on: ⭐⭐⭐ signals only
- HTF: Check 1H alignment
Day Trading (15m-1H charts)
- Strategy Mode: Hybrid
- Focus on: ⭐⭐ and ⭐⭐⭐ signals
- Risk Amount: 1% per trade
Swing Trading (4H-Daily charts)
- Strategy Mode: Trend Following
- Focus on: Regime strength >70%
- HTF: Daily/Weekly alignment
⚠️ When NOT to Use
❌ Pre-market/after-hours (low volume distorts readings)
❌ Low volume assets (<$100K daily volume)
❌ Crypto with fake volume (wash trading)
❌ First 5 minutes of market open (volume settling)
🔧 Troubleshooting
"Too many signals firing"
→ Increase quality threshold (focus on ⭐⭐⭐ only)
→ Use Trend Following mode instead of Hybrid
→ Wait for HTF alignment before trading
"Regime changing frequently"
→ Normal during choppy markets
→ Consider higher timeframe for clearer regimes
→ Wait for regime strength >60% before trading
"Signals not appearing"
→ Check that signals are enabled in settings
→ Verify regime is established (not gray/neutral)
→ Lower quality threshold if too restrictive
📊 Timeframe Suitability
| Timeframe | Suitability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1m-5m | ✅ Good | Scalping, focus on ⭐⭐⭐ signals only |
| 15m | ✅ Excellent | Day trading, all systems work well |
| 1H | ⭐ Best | Day/swing trading sweet spot |
| 4H | ⭐ Best | Swing trading, clearest regime detection |
| Daily | ✅ Excellent | Position trading, high-quality signals |
| Weekly | ✅ Good | Long-term, regime very reliable |
🎯 Volume Oracle Success Tips
- Regime First, Signal Second — Check regime color before acting on signals
- Quality Matters — ⭐⭐⭐ signals have highest success rate
- Check Health Status — Monitor for FADING/WEAKENING/CRITICAL warnings early
- HTF Alignment = Confidence — Signals with HTF alignment are more reliable
- Combine with Janus levels — Signal at key level = highest probability
- Watch Confirmation Counter — ↑4+ building = regime change may be coming
📖 Key Concepts
Regime Detection: Background colors showing market phase (Accumulation/Distribution/Neutral/Weakening)
Regime Meter: 6-row table (State, Strength, Health, Confirm, Flow, Duration) for complete regime info
Regime Status: Leading indicators (STRONG/FADING/WEAKENING/CRITICAL) that warn before exits trigger
Confirmation Counter: Shows consecutive bars building toward regime change (↑4 = 4 bars confirming)
Event Detection: BULL/BEAR events with quality ratings (⭐ to ⭐⭐⭐)
Risk Management: Auto-calculated Entry, Stop, T1, T2 with position sizing
HTF Confirmation: Higher timeframe regime alignment check for signal validation
