🤔 Decision Tree: Which Indicators Do I Need?¶

Question 1: Trading experience level?¶

Brand new to trading: Pentarch only commonly recommended
Initial mastery period: 2-4 weeks, then guide revisitation
Some experience present: Question 2 applies

Question 2: All-in-one preference?¶

Single comprehensive indicator preferred: OmniDeck is appropriate
Other indicators not required
Custom setup preferred: Question 3 applies

Question 3: Reversal or breakout focus?¶

Reversal focus: Pentarch commonly essential
Breakout focus: Janus Atlas commonly essential
Both approaches: Both Pentarch + Janus typically used

Question 4: Volume incorporation?¶

Volume used: Volume Oracle commonly added
Volume divergence focus: Plutus Flow commonly added
Volume not used: Volume indicators typically skipped

Question 5: Momentum/oscillator usage?¶

Momentum used: Harmonic Oscillator commonly added
Momentum not used: Typically skipped

💡 Common Mistakes¶

❌ Using Too Many Indicators¶

Problem: All 7 indicators on one chart Issue: Overwhelming, slow, analysis paralysis Fix: Commonly recommended maximum of 3 indicators per chart

❌ Using Confirmation Without Signals¶

Problem: Only using Volume Oracle or Harmonic Oscillator Issue: No entry triggers Fix: A signal indicator (Pentarch or OmniDeck) provides the foundation

❌ Ignoring Key Levels¶

Problem: Taking Pentarch signals anywhere Issue: Many false signals away from levels Fix: Add Janus Atlas to identify key levels where signals historically show different characteristics

❌ Switching Indicators Too Fast¶

Problem: Changing setup every week Issue: Mastery becomes difficult Fix: Sticking with one setup for at least 3 months is commonly recommended

❌ Using OmniDeck + Individual Indicators¶

Problem: OmniDeck + Pentarch + Janus all loaded Issue: Duplicate signals, redundant data Fix: Choose OmniDeck OR individual indicators, but not both

Goal: Filter for highest probability setups

Week 7-8: Efficiency¶

Add Augury Grid if trading multiple symbols
Streamline your workflow
Goal: Fast scanning, confident execution

Week 9+: Mastery¶

Consistent results with your setup
Consider OmniDeck if you want simplicity
Or stick with your working combination
Goal: Profitable, repeatable process

Quick Start - Get started with Pentarch
