Overview¶

The Quad-Lock Scanner is designed for rapid watchlist screening. Instead of managing complex dashboard scripts, this indicator gives you an instant visual signal:

• 🟢 GREEN Background = All 4 timeframes aligned (Quad-Lock) - ANALYZE THIS SETUP
• ⬜ Normal/Gray = Mixed signals - SKIP, press Down Arrow

The Math Behind It¶

The scanner calculates four layers on every candle:

flowchart TD
    A[Price / SPY Ratio] --> B[Stochastic Normalization<br/>0-100 scale over 78 bars]
    B --> C[Fractals Energy<br/>Measures market choppiness]
    C --> D[Laguerre Filter<br/>Smooths with zero lag]
    D --> E{Value > Signal?}
    E -->|Yes| F[BULLISH ✅]
    E -->|No| G[BEARISH ❌]

How to Use (Scanning Workflow)¶

Step-by-Step¶

1. Add this script to your chart (5-minute timeframe)
2. Open your Watchlist on the right side of TradingView
3. Click the first stock
4. Look at the screen:
5. 🟢 GREEN? → Stop and analyze the setup
6. ⬜ Normal? → Press Down Arrow key
7. Repeat through your watchlist

Why This Works¶

The Quad-Lock Conditions¶

The screen turns GREEN when all 4 timeframes are BULLISH:

Information Table¶

The bottom-right table always shows WHY it's not Quad-Lock:

┌───────────┬───────┐
│ Timeframe │ Trend │
├───────────┼───────┤
│    5m     │ BULL  │  ← Current chart
│    15     │ BULL  │  ✓ Aligned
│    60     │ BEAR  │  ✗ This is blocking!
│     D     │ BULL  │  ✓ Aligned
└───────────┴───────┘

This tells you: "The 1H is bearish - that's why no Quad-Lock."

Configuration¶

⚠️ Critical: Extended Hours Setting¶

Why Extended Hours Breaks the Math¶

1. The "78 Bar" Math Breaks¶

• Extended Hours OFF: 78 bars = exactly one trading day (6.5 hours)
• Extended Hours ON: 78 bars might only reach back to 4:00 AM - you lose "Yesterday vs Today" context

2. The "Ghost" Ratio Problem¶

When market opens at 9:30 AM, the indicator whipsaws violently to correct itself.

3. Fractals Hate "Thin" Data¶

Pre-market price action is: - Gappy and jagged (low efficiency) OR - Completely flat (artificial high efficiency)

This feeds "garbage data" into the Laguerre filter.

How to Turn Off Extended Hours¶

Bottom right of TradingView chart: - Switch EXT → REG - Or uncheck "Extended Trading Hours" in chart settings

The Quad-Lock Momentum Strategy¶

Entry Conditions (Long/Call Options)¶

1. ✅ Dashboard Check: At least ¾ timeframes show "BULL" (Green)
2. ✅ Background Check: Chart background is GREEN (total confluence)
3. ✅ Zone Breach: 5-minute Laguerre Line crosses:
4. Above 0.2 = "Turnaround Play" (Higher Reward, Lower Win Rate)
5. Above 0.8 = "Momentum Breakout" (High Win Rate, Lower Reward)

Entry Trigger¶

• ⏳ Wait for candle close (never enter mid-candle)
• ✅ Blue Line must be above Orange Signal Line
• 🎯 Buy: ITM or ATM Calls, 7-14 DTE

Stop Loss¶

Profit Taking¶

Expert Nuances¶

1. The "Lookback" Rule¶

For day trading, use 78 bars (one full trading day). This ensures you're buying the DAY's leaders, not just the last hour's lucky winner.

2. The "Morning Fake-out"¶

3. The "Divergence" Trap¶

If price is making new highs but the indicator isn't, the stock is losing power relative to SPY. Do NOT buy.
