ARGUS — MULTI-PAIR MTF DASHBOARD
The Sons
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Named for Argus Panoptes, the hundred-eyed watcher of Greek myth
who never closed every eye at once — this dashboard keeps watch
on 60 bias cells across 10 symbols and 6 timeframes, simultaneously,
without you touching a single chart tab.

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
WHAT IT DOES
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Confirming a trend across timeframes normally means opening each
pair's chart and flipping through M15, H1, H4, D1, W1 and MN1 by
hand, reading EMA slope, MACD state and ADX strength on every one
— then repeating it for the next symbol. Ten pairs, six timeframes
each, is sixty manual checks before you've placed a single trade.

ARGUS runs that whole check continuously in the background and
renders it as one fixed grid. Each cell is scored by a 3-signal
vote (EMA trend, MACD momentum, DI+/DI- direction) and gated by
an ADX strength filter, so a weak or choppy market shows neutral
instead of a false arrow. Every symbol row also rolls up into a
single composite BIAS score, so full multi-timeframe alignment
is visible at a glance — no scrolling, no tab-switching.

Column What it shows
──────────── ──────────────────────────────────────────────
Symbol Row label per configured pair

Per-TF cells ▲ Bull / ▼ Bear / — Neutral, color-coded
Optional ADX strength value shown beside the glyph
"n/a" when a symbol/timeframe has too little
history to compute — it never guesses

BIAS Composite score = bullish TFs − bearish TFs
for that row, shown as e.g. "+3 ▲" or "-2 ▼"
Toggleable on/off

A cell only turns green or red when at least 2 of the 3 signals
agree AND ADX clears your configured threshold. Anything weaker
stays neutral by design.

FEATURES
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SIGNAL ENGINE
- EMA Fast/Slow crossover trend, configurable periods
- MACD line/signal/histogram momentum confirmation
- Wilder ADX + DI+/DI- strength and direction filter
- Reads only the last fully closed bar — signal is stable,
never repaints mid-bar
- Auto-corrects an inverted EMA Fast/Slow input and logs it,
instead of producing a broken read

ROCK-SOLID PANEL
- Stays exactly where you place it — no drifting, warping, or
needing to be repositioned when you zoom or scroll the chart
- Updates smoothly in place, tick after tick, with no flicker

COMPOSITE BIAS COLUMN
- Net bull-minus-bear vote across every configured timeframe
- Instantly shows which pairs have every timeframe pulling
the same direction, and which are conflicted

FLIP ALERTS
- Sound notification + on-panel message the moment a symbol's
composite bias changes direction
- No false alert on the first load — only genuine flips notify
- A notification hiccup never affects the dashboard itself

ALWAYS CURRENT
- The dashboard reflects live market conditions, so you're
never looking at a stale read

LIGHTWEIGHT & SAFE
- Runs entirely within the chart — no file access, no external
connections, nothing reaching outside cTrader

STRATEGY — HOW TO USE
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 1 — ESTABLISH BIAS (Higher Timeframes)
- Read the D1 and W1 cells for a symbol's row
- Matching color across both = higher-timeframe trend confirmed

STEP 2 — CHECK CONFLUENCE
- Read the BIAS column score for that row
- A high positive/negative score means most timeframes agree;
a low or mixed score means the pair is conflicted — skip it

STEP 3 — DROP TO YOUR ENTRY TIMEFRAME
- Open the pair's own chart on your trading timeframe
- Only take entries in the direction ARGUS's higher-timeframe
bias already confirmed
- Enable the ADX strength value in-cell to gauge how strong
that confirmation currently is, not just its color

STEP 4 — LET FLIP ALERTS DO THE WATCHING
- Turn on Alert On Composite Flip and step away from the screen
- Get notified the instant a pair's overall bias changes,
instead of manually re-checking every chart yourself
