What Is Augury Grid?

Augury Grid v1.0 is an on-chart multi-symbol screener table. It monitors 7 symbols × 3 timeframes = 21 scans simultaneously and displays:

  • Live signals (Bull/Bear) with star ratings (★★★/★★/★)
  • Multi-TF confluence (🔗 = 2 TFs, 🔗🔗 = 3 TFs aligned)
  • Entry, SL, TP levels and P&L tracking
  • Signal age (how fresh it is)

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

📖 Full documentation: Augury Grid - Multi-Timeframe Scanner

Quick Setup (3 Steps)

Step 1: Add Augury Grid to Chart

  1. Open any chart in TradingView
  2. Click Indicators → Search for "SP: Augury Grid"
  3. Add "SP: Augury Grid v1.0"

What you'll see: A table appears showing 7 symbol slots across 3 timeframes

The TradingView indicators dialog with Augury searched, showing the Multi-Timeframe Scanner under Favorites, My Scripts and Community, published by SignalPilotLabs.
Search the indicator by name. The entry published by SignalPilotLabs is the one to add; the same script appears under several headings depending on how you already have it saved.

Step 2: Configure 7 Symbols

  1. Click the indicator name → Settings (gear icon)
  2. Scroll to Symbol Configuration
  3. Enter 7 tickers (use the exact TradingView format):

Example multi-asset watchlist: 

Symbol 1: BINANCE:BTCUSDT
Symbol 2: BINANCE:ETHUSDT
Symbol 3: NASDAQ:AAPL
Symbol 4: NYSE:SPY
Symbol 5: NASDAQ:QQQ
Symbol 6: NASDAQ:TSLA
Symbol 7: CME_MINI:ES1!

Format requirements: - Include the exchange prefix: BINANCE:, NASDAQ:, NYSE:, etc. - Use the exact TradingView ticker format - Test each ticker on a chart first to verify it works

The Augury Grid settings dialog showing TF 1 set to 15 minutes, TF 2 to 4 hours and TF 3 to 1 day, a Preset selector, and numbered custom symbol fields holding BINANCE tickers.
Three timeframes and seven symbols. The custom symbol fields are only read when the preset is set to Custom, which is what the note above them says.

Step 3: Set Quality Filter (Optional)

Minimum Confluence Score: - Default: 70 (everything the hard filters let through) - Common starting point: 85 (★★ and better) - Conservative: 95 (★★★ only)

ADX Threshold: - Default: 20 (works for most setups) - Higher (25-30): Only strong trends - Lower (15): More signals, each clearing a weaker trend test

Click OK to save.

The Augury Grid table over a BTCUSDT.P daily chart, ranking seven symbols with columns for number, symbol, timeframe, bias with a star rating, age, entry and stop level.
The table once it has filled. Rows are ordered by rank, and the bias column carries the quality rating as stars rather than as a number.

How to Read the Grid

The table shows nine columns for each scan. The headings shorten when Abbreviate is on, which is the default: Sym rather than Symbol, Ent rather than Entry, and TP rather than TP1/TP2.

Column What It Shows Notes
# Rank position Rows are ordered by score, strongest first
Sym Ticker, with the exchange prefix stripped BTC rather than BINANCE:BTCUSDT.P
TF Which of the three timeframes the reading came from 15m, 4H and D on the default settings
Bias Bull or Bear, with the star rating ★★★ (95 and above), ★★ (85-94), ★ (70-84). A 🔗 marks the same direction on two timeframes, 🔗🔗 on three
Age Time since the reading printed Shown in minutes, hours or days. A row is retired once it passes 30 days
Ent Price when the reading printed Fixed at that moment, it does not move afterwards
SL Stop level Entry plus or minus 1.5×ATR by default
TP First target Entry plus or minus 2.0×ATR by default. Shows TP1/TP2 together when Abbreviate is off
P&L Move since the reading printed Capped at the stop and target distances. ✅ marks a row that reached its target, ⛔ one that reached its stop

Workflow: Finding Opportunities

1. Glance at Grid (10 seconds)

Scan for signals: - ★★★ (95 and above) or ★★ (85-94) signals - Age in minutes or hours rather than days, which means the reading is recent - Green P&L (if signal already triggered, it's working)

2. Pick the row to open (30 seconds)

Example: 

BTC/USD │ BUY │ 96 ★★★ │ $64,250 │ $65,800 │ 2 │ +0.3%
- ★★★ signal (96) - Fresh (2 bars old) - The P&L column reads +0.3%, so price has moved in the signal's direction since the row printed - The reading: a fresh row, top rated, with price so far agreeing

The same Augury Grid table with the top rows carrying three stars in the bias column and the lower rows carrying two.
A three-star row against a two-star row. The age column says how long the reading has stood, which is the difference between a fresh row and one that has been sitting there for days.

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 analysis 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 bullish setups or above recent high for bearish setups (educational example)
  • Example target concept: TP1 from Grid as a reference point (illustrative)
  • Monitoring approach: watch the P&L column, for educational tracking

Quality Tiers (Educational Reference)

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

Score Rating What it means Confluence Educational Example Approach
95-100 ★★★ Rare. Almost every factor aligned Highest Often considered first (educational example)
85-94 ★★ Several bonus factors aligned Strong Standard evaluation approach (illustrative)
70-84 ★ Meets every hard filter, nothing more Acceptable Selective analysis (educational example)
Below 70 Hidden Filtered out before it reaches the table Under the threshold Never displayed

Common Mistakes & Fixes

🔍 Screener Not Working? Check This:
  1. Is the grid table visible? → If no, add the indicator to chart
  2. Shows N/A or dashes? → Fix ticker format (use EXCHANGE:SYMBOL)
  3. Not updating? → Refresh the page
  4. Missing signals? → Wait for bar close
  5. Scores not showing? → Reset to default settings

Most Common Issue: Wrong ticker format. Always use EXCHANGE:SYMBOL format (e.g., BINANCE:BTCUSDT, not just BTCUSDT).

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: Acting on Every Signal

❌ Problem: Taking too many trades, overtrading

✅ Fix: - Focus on ★★★ and ★★ signals only - Set Min Score to 85 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 the age is high, the row is describing a signal that did not hold - 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 (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: See multi-timeframe confluence on a single asset

Tip #3: Use 2 Grid Instances

  • Grid 1: 7 crypto pairs (1H)
  • Grid 2: 7 stock tickers (4H)
  • Total: 14 symbols monitored

How: Add Augury Grid to the same chart twice

Tip #4: Track Performance by Tier

After 20 or more readings, compare the tiers: - Did the ★★★ rows look different afterwards from the ★★ rows? - Did the tiers behave differently on different symbols? - Adjust the Min Score filter based on results

Workflow Example (Real Scenario)

8:00 AM: Grid Check

Grid shows: 

AAPL │ BUY  │ 96 ★★★ │ $175.20 │ $177.80 │  1 │ +0.1%
TSLA │ SELL │ 72 ★   │ $245.90 │ $242.10 │ 18 │ -2.3%
BTC  │ BUY  │ 88 ★★  │ $64,250 │ $65,800 │  5 │ +0.8%

Analysis: - AAPL: ★★★ signal (96), fresh (1 bar), already working (+0.1%) ✅ - TSLA: ★ signal (72), stale (18 bars), losing (-2.3%) ❌ Can be skipped - BTC: ★★ signal (88), moderate age (5 bars), working (+0.8%) ✅

Action: Focus on AAPL and BTC

8:05 AM: Load the AAPL chart - At Janus support: ✅ - Volume spike visible: ✅ - No resistance overhead: ✅ - Decision: consider a long on AAPL at $175.50

8:10 AM: Load the BTC chart - Breaking out of consolidation: ✅ - Higher timeframe aligned: ✅ - Decision: consider a long on BTC 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:

  • Twenty-one charts have to be opened one at a time: seven symbols on three timeframes each
  • You might miss signals while looking at other symbols
  • No systematic quality scoring available
  • Multiple setups are hard to track

With Augury Grid:

  • All 7 symbols across 3 timeframes in one glance (10 seconds)
  • Quality scores show what's worth investigating
  • Track performance in real-time
  • Focus on the best opportunities

Bottom line: one table replaces twenty-one chart loads, and the score column says which of them is worth opening.

Common Questions

Q: Can I add more than 7 symbols? A: Not in one Grid (performance limit). Use Symbol Presets for quick watchlist switching.

Q: What if a symbol shows no data? A: Check three things: is the ticker format right, is the exchange prefix there, and is the symbol available on your TradingView plan?

Q: Should I trade every ★★★ signal? A: No. A ★★★ score says the confluence factors line up, not that the trade works. Verify the context and the levels against your own plan first. No system is right every time.

Q: Can I get alerts from the Grid? A: No (table indicators cannot create alerts). Workaround: when a ★★★ signal appears, set a manual alert on that symbol's own 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.
