Is it the whole market, or just my chart? This board answers that in one plain line. It shows how 30 markets closed on the last finished day, then puts your chart beside them in words, for example: "AAPL rose while 18 of 23 fell."
When your chart goes against the board, does that tell you anything about the next session? The Mentor marks every past day like it on your chart and counts what came next: kept its move, gave it back, or flat. The header stays plain: "No clear lean". It reads finished days only. The counts are history, not promises.

Every part of the indicator, numbered on one chart. Tap a number to jump to what it means.
A move on one chart can mean two very different things. If most markets fell too, your chart moved with the whole market. If most markets rose and yours fell, something about your chart was different that day. This board tells the two apart from finished days, then looks back at what happened after past days like it on the same chart. It describes the past. It does not say what comes next.
Thirty markets, each with its daily move in words: "▲ Clear rise", "▼ Small fall", "● Unchanged". Twenty-three of them make up the board's count. The rest, like VIX, gold and the dollar, are shown for context and say "not in the count".
One line answers the question: "AAPL rose while 18 of 23 fell." or "AAPL rose with 18 of 23." With the board or against it, in plain words, from the last finished day.
Past days your chart went against the board are counted by what the next session did, on your chart: "Here: 57 of 137 kept its move." (AAPL daily). The header does not call a direction: "No clear lean".
A day is only read once it is finished. A daily candle that is still open can turn around before the close, and so can the board. So the board shows each market's last finished daily candle, and the Mentor compares your chart's last finished day with the board's last finished day, never the ones still forming.
Your chart's line, the counts and the marks only change when your chart's daily candle closes. On an hourly chart that means once a day, not once an hour.
A day against the board is only counted once the next finished session settles it. Until then it is a ring whose tooltip says "Still open, not counted yet".
Stocks, futures and VIX finish their days at different times. Each row moves to the new day only after its own daily close, so no row ever shows a day that is not finished.
Rising and falling are treated the same way throughout. Every read has a mirrored version. The marks use neutral shapes, never arrows, so their meaning lives in the shape, not the colour.
A day against the board is a finished day where your chart moved one way and most of the board moved the other. Your chart rose while most markets fell, or fell while most rose.
The next finished session settles it. If your chart moved the same way again by more than 0.10%, the day gets a filled circle under its low. Hover over it and the tooltip says "Kept its move".
Back to the chart
A square over the day's high means the next session went the other way by more than 0.10%. Your chart rose against a falling board, then fell the next day. Or it fell against a rising board, then rose. The tooltip says "Gave it back".
Back to the chart
A hollow ring means the next session closed within 0.10% of the day before, either way. Not kept, not given back: flat. The tooltip says "Flat next session".
A mark appears only after its next session has closed, so nothing moves once drawn. The chart keeps the last 12 marks by default (0 to 30), all in one solid neutral colour. "Mark past events" switches them off without changing the panel's counts.

The header is two cells: "[TP] BOARD" and the answer. On this Mentor the answer is always "No clear lean", in a muted colour. The board tells you what happened; it does not call a direction for you.
The panel never prints a percentage. It shows the counts.
Back to the chart
The line under the header is the whole point of the board. It names your chart, says how it moved on the last finished day, and says what the board did. The forms it takes (worked examples):
A move within 0.10% either way counts as flat, for your chart and for each market. The board needs at least 10 counted markets with a price before it compares. When as many rose as fell, the board is split and makes no with or against call. On the chart at the top of this page, after the Friday 16 October close, the line read "AAPL rose while 18 of 23 fell."
Back to the chart
Under the panel, each market gets a row: its code, its daily move in words, its last price and its change. The words come in four sizes each way, so colour is never the only clue:
Under the move, each row says "with the board", "against the board", "board is split", or "not in the count" for the seven context markets (VIX, the dollar, the 10-year yield, gold, silver, oil and bitcoin). The rows are sorted by change, with an asterisk on the sorted column.
Back to the chart
Under your chart's line comes this chart's own count:
This chart's own count"Here: 57 of 137 kept its move."
"Here" counts your chart's past days against the board in the last 500 finished days, and how many kept their move. Under 8 days it reads "Too few here to count yet (n)." with the number so far. Every number on the panel comes from your chart and the board on it. The count is history, so it never sets the header.
"Mentor detail" starts on Full, which adds "Changes if: the board majority flips." and the legend "● kept ■ gave back ○ flat (last 12)". Every panel ends with one limit line and the footer "Closed candles, last 500. Not advice." On Standard the panel keeps the header, your chart's line, the "Here" count, the limit and the footer: five rows.
The default Full panel on the chart at the top of this page (AAPL daily, after the Friday 16 October close), top to bottom:
Above these rows sits a short board summary. On that day it read "Broad fall: 18 of 23 markets down." and "Last finished day, so these are fixed."
Back to the chart
When the latest finished day went against the board, "Show still-open event" puts one ring under that day's low. On the AAPL chart above it sits under Friday 16 October. Its tooltip says "Still open, not counted yet". It is not in the counts until the next session finishes, and then it becomes a circle, a square or a ring like the rest.
Back to the chart
"Columns to show" on Phone keeps three columns (market, daily move, change) and at most six market rows, so the board fits a small screen. All columns shows five, and Fewer columns, the default, shows four.
Back to the chartThe header, your chart beside the board, "Here", "Changes if: the board majority flips.", one limit line, the mark legend and the footer. Seven rows.
The header, your chart beside the board, "Here", one limit line and the footer. Five rows.
Thirty markets come with the board, in two lists you can edit. Up to 36 can be shown.
Index futures: ES1!, NQ1!, YM1!, RTY1!. Funds: IWM, SPYV, SPYG, SMH, and the sector funds XLP, XLV, XLY, XLRE, XLB, XLU, XLI.
Large stocks: TSLA, AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, META, AMZN, NVDA, AVGO.
VIX, DXY, US10Y, GOLD, SILVER, USOIL and BTCUSD. They tell their own story, so they are shown with "not in the count" and left out of the board's majority.
Same indicator, same panel. What you take from it grows with you. The quoted lines are the panel's own words. Lines marked as a worked example show the format and are not from a chart.
The habit it builds: asking "is it the whole market or just my chart?" before reading anything else.
With the board, worked example"AAPL fell with 18 of 23."
Against the board, AAPL daily, 16 Oct"AAPL rose while 18 of 23 fell."
The habit it builds: finished days only, and a board count that only uses markets that belong in it.
Before the first finished day"Waiting for a finished board day."
Board summary, AAPL daily, 16 Oct"Last finished day, so these are fixed."
The habit it builds: checking how many days a count rests on before believing it, and accepting "No clear lean" as an answer.
This chart, AAPL daily, 16 Oct"Here: 57 of 137 kept its move."
Too few days on this chart"Too few here to count yet (n)."
The habit it builds: a steady second pair of eyes: the same plain read on every chart, with its limit every time.
Limit"One finished day is still one day."
Limit"Moving against the board can fade or hold."
Your chart is read beside it, with or against.
"AAPL rose with 18 of 23." (worked example)
Read exactly the same way, mirrored.
"AAPL rose while 18 of 23 fell." (AAPL daily, 16 Oct)
Its own answer: no with or against.
"AAPL flat; board split: 12 up, 12 down." (worked example)
A daily candle that is still open can turn around before the close. So the board, your chart's line, the counts and the marks all use finished days. "Use finished daily candles" is on by default. Off shows today's candle while it is still forming, which can change with every tick. In Bar Replay, keep it on.
No arrows, no percentages in the panel, no colour without words, and no claim that a move against the board will last. One finished day is one day. Every number on the panel comes from your chart and the board on it. "Here" covers one chart over the last 500 finished days, too few to tell a habit from chance. On an intraday chart the panel only sees the days the chart has loaded, so its count can be smaller.
Change the market list and the board changes with it. A different board gives different days against it and different counts. None is wrong.
We tested this rule on 192 markets offline. This is our research, not something the indicator reads on your chart.
We took 192 liquid stocks from today's ethical-screen list, daily from January 2020 to October 2026, and found every finished day where one of them moved against this same board: 59,676 days. The next session kept the move on 28,468 of them, gave it back on 28,528, and 2,680 were flat. Per 100 days: 48 kept, 48 gave back, 4 flat. Ordinary days, the ones that moved with the board, gave back 49 times in 100. A gap of 1 in 100 is nothing: going against the board told us nothing about the next session. Markets that no longer trade are missing, and the older years rest on fewer names. That is one reason the Mentor does not call a direction.
The defaults work out of the box. These are the ones worth knowing.

The board comes in a warm light and a warm dark palette. With "Board colours" on Auto, it reads your chart background and picks the right one. The marks are muted greys in both, so their meaning lives in the shape.
Each alert says what happened on the daily candle shown. Three conditions are in TradingView's alert dialog. None of them tells you what to do.
Open TradingView's alert dialog, pick this indicator in the condition box, and choose the condition by name. With "Use finished daily candles" on, each alert uses the same finished day as the board.

Is it the whole market, or just my chart? When your chart falls, it helps to know whether most markets fell too. The line under the header says it in words: with the board, against it, or a split board.
A day is only read once it is finished. The board shows each market's last finished daily candle, and the Mentor compares your chart's last finished day with it. Counts and marks only change when your chart's daily candle closes, and a day against the board is only counted once the next session has finished too.
They often move the opposite way to stocks for their own reasons, so mixing them in would blur the majority. They stay on the board for context and say "not in the count". The board's count uses the 23 index futures, funds and large stocks.
Because a count of past days on one chart is history, not a forecast. The Mentor shows how the board and your chart moved, and how past days against the board turned out on your chart, then leaves the call to you. Our own offline research found no edge either (see Titan research), but the panel never shows those figures.
One chart has a few dozen days against the board in 500, too few to tell a habit from chance. So "Here" is shown for you to check by eye against the marks, and it never sets the header. Under 8 days it reads "Too few here to count yet (n)."
Because "no edge" is a useful answer. A chart that rose while the whole market fell feels like it is telling you something. The count shows what such days on your chart were followed by, so you can check for yourself whether they told you anything about the next session.
No, with "Use finished daily candles" on (the default). The board, your chart's line, the counts and the marks all wait for finished days, and a mark appears only after the next session has closed and never moves. Turn it off and the rows show today's forming candle, which can change.
No. It describes how your chart moved beside the board and what past days against it did. It cannot see what comes next. Decisions stay with you.
Set "Mentor detail" to Standard for five panel rows, "Columns to show" to Phone, lower "Most markets to show", or pick a smaller "Text size". "Board position" offers Auto and nine fixed spots.
