The key idea

Worked example

Price inside its volatility envelope. The stop is quoted in ATR, and break-even is earned at a volatility-defined distance - not felt.

The four-line pane

The regime test, drawn instead of computed in your head.

Each element of the HUD is one term of the doctrine's arithmetic: the thick green/red line is live multi-timeframe ATR, colored by whether volatility rose or fell against the prior bar. The yellow line is ATR_SMA — the baseline, typical volatility over the averaging window. The orange line is that baseline times the sensitivity factor k: the regime trigger. And the green shading is the verdict — it appears exactly when ATR clears the threshold, and Trend rules apply for exactly as long as it stays on.

The pre-trade checklist

Four questions the pane answers before every entry.

The manual reduces the pre-trade read to four checks, each answered by looking, not judging:

Is shading ON? → Trend rules: BE at 1.6R, ATR trail on the runner.
Is the ATR line green? → Expansion is accelerating; the highest-quality continuation window.
Is shading OFF? → Normal rules: BE at 1.4R, static 2R runner.
Did a flip just happen? → Patience — wait for the next pullback or structure confirmation before acting on the new regime.

The quality filter

Shading sets the rules. Line color grades the moment.

Two reads stack: regime state and volatility momentum. Shading ON with a green (rising) ATR line means the expansion has momentum behind it — prime continuation territory, especially shortly after a session open. Shading ON with the line turned red means the expansion is stalling: the Trend rules still apply, but the instruction shifts to tighter management and selectivity on fresh entries. The pane distinguishes 'Trend rules are in force' from 'this is a good Trend moment' — a distinction memory reliably fails to make under pressure.

Zero-ambiguity rendering

The chart shows the rule firing, not a suggestion.

The on-chart lines mark where the BE move is earned and where the ATR stop belongs — computed from the same coefficients the panel governs, rendered before the trade needs them. There is nothing to interpret in the moment: the doctrine either fired or it didn't, and the screen says which, in advance, every time.

Reference

The HUD, element by element

Element	Color	What it is	What it means
ATR line (thick, MTF)	Green / red	Live ATR on the regime timeframe	Green = expanding vs prior bar · red = contracting
ATR_SMA	Yellow	Average of ATR over maLen bars	The baseline — typical volatility
Threshold	Orange	ATR_SMA × k	The regime trigger with a safety buffer
Shading	Green fill	ON when ATR > threshold	Trend regime in force — Trend rules apply

Operator briefs on this territory.

Deep dive — 01

Two surfaces, one verdict — and only one of them is allowed to be obeyed.

The overlay is the switch you obey. The pane is the reasoning you consult. They are not peers.

Deep dive — 02

Above average but below the threshold — the zone the binary has no word for.

Three lines, three regions, two possible verdicts. The middle region is real and it is not Trend.

Deep dive — 03

Checked ON: why the trail must actually obey the coefficient.

One checkbox decides whether the volatility model runs the trail or decorates it. The doctrine is ON.
