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 rated ⭐ to ⭐⭐⭐ by quality score
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 (the default), Mean Reversion, or Hybrid, which enables both

📊 Signal Quality Ratings

Rating	Score	What it records	Effect on the suggested size
⭐⭐⭐	85 and above	The strongest agreement between the scored factors	The suggested size in the tooltip is multiplied by 1.5
⭐⭐	75 to 84	Most factors lined up	Multiplied by 1.2
⭐	65 to 74	Enough to show, no more	Left as calculated
no star	under 65	No star. The signal still fires and is still drawn	Multiplied by 0.7

⚡ 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 → The regime that was in place is fading

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: no warnings raised
📉 FADING: the regime is losing strength
⚡ WEAKENING: the meter has raised two warnings
⚠️ CRITICAL: the meter has raised three or more

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: the higher timeframe is in the same regime: two sources
BEAR + HTF Aligned: the higher timeframe is in the same regime: two sources
Signal + HTF Not Aligned: the two timeframes disagree, so the reading has one source rather than two

🤝 Best Combinations

The Trinity (three sources, not one)

✅ Pentarch cycle signal (TD, IGN, CAP, etc.)
✅ Janus Atlas level within 1-2%
✅ Volume Oracle BULL/BEAR ⭐⭐⭐ signal with HTF aligned

Example: A Pentarch TD on a Daily Low with a BULL ⭐⭐⭐ and the higher timeframe agreeing is the most agreement the three can show

With Janus Atlas

BULL signal at Daily/Weekly Low = Strong support confluence
BEAR signal at Daily/Weekly High = Strong resistance confluence
An Accumulation regime with a Janus level = the regime and the structure on one price

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 the Volume spike threshold, or turn Strict mode off so a disagreeing higher timeframe stops blocking signals. There is no minimum-score setting; the star bands are fixed

📊 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, the fewest signals of any timeframe
Weekly	✅ Good	Long-term, with the regime turning over rarely

🎯 Volume Oracle Success Tips

Regime First, Signal Second : Check regime color before acting on signals
Quality Matters: ⭐⭐⭐ means the most supporting factors lined up
Check Health Status : Monitor for FADING/WEAKENING/CRITICAL warnings early
HTF Alignment = Confidence : Signals with HTF alignment are more reliable
Combine with Janus levels: a signal at a key level is a reading with two sources
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
