QX FrameForge is an overlay multi-timeframe market-state dashboard for cTrader. It compresses what is happening across several timeframes into a fast, readable panel, so you can trade with context instead of guessing.

For each selected timeframe, the panel shows:

• TF (timeframe)
• Score (-100 to +100) to express direction and strength
• State: UP / NEUT / DN for quick decisions

Optional arrows can be enabled to mark confirmations using closed candles only, which keeps the chart stable and avoids intrabar flicker.

How to read it (beginner-friendly)

Think of the panel as a direction meter:

• Positive Score and UP means bullish conditions on that timeframe
• Negative Score and DN means bearish conditions on that timeframe
• NEUT means conditions are mixed, ranging, or not strong enough to be directional

A Neutral Zone setting controls how easily the indicator switches into NEUT. A wider neutral zone produces fewer directional states (more conservative).

What’s inside the Score (high-level)

The Score blends:

• a trend component (direction and slope behavior)
• a momentum component (strength of continuation vs hesitation)
• an optional volatility filter to reduce noisy periods

The result is a bounded score designed for multi-timeframe alignment, not for “magic entries”.

How traders typically use FrameForge

1) Multi-timeframe alignment

• Prefer trades when higher timeframes agree (example: H1 + H4 both UP)
• Use a lower timeframe (example: M5) for timing

2) Regime filtering

• Too many NEUT states usually means chop and lower quality conditions
• Mixed higher TF direction suggests caution or smaller exposure

3) Confirmation layer

• Use FrameForge to confirm that your setup is aligned before you commit

Optional arrows (signals)

Arrows are an optional visual helper. They are evaluated on the last closed candle only.

You can choose how arrows trigger:

• only when strength crosses a threshold,
• only when the directional state changes,
• or more frequently when conditions remain strong.

Controls are included for:

• strength threshold
• cooldown (minimum bars between arrows)
• one-signal-per-swing (reduces repeated arrows in the same direction)
• icon limit (prevents chart clutter)

Important: arrows are designed to be forward-only from the moment you enable them, to avoid historical object spam and misleading retroactive visuals.
