Quick Start

On chart and reading in under five minutes.

1

Open your chart and add Regime Guard from your Invite-Only scripts.

It works on any timeframe. Start with whatever you normally trade.

2

Look at the market mode panel on the right side of the chart.

It shows the current state: Trending, Mean-Reverting, Overextended, or Breakout. That is the first thing to read before you do anything else.

3

Locate the gravity centre line and the shaded zone around it.

This is where the market is gravitating. Price well above it in a trending state means the trend is holding. Price sitting inside it means the market is going nowhere fast.

4

Watch for phase flip markers as the session progresses.

These appear on the chart when the market changes state. Each flip is a decision point: does your current position still make sense given the new state?

What You Should See

A working chart looks like this. If yours looks different, check setup below.

On chart:

  • A horizontal line running through the middle of recent price action. That is the gravity centre.
  • A shaded zone around it, usually two to four times the width of average bar range. That is the gravity zone, where mean-reversion pressure lives.
  • Small triangular markers on the chart where the regime changed state. These are your phase flips.
  • A market mode panel to the right of the price area showing the current state in plain text.
  • A score reading between 0 and 100 in the panel. Above 70 means the current state is strongly established. Below 40 means the market is in transition.

If the panel shows a flat score and no state label:

The indicator may not have enough bars to complete its calculation. Scroll back slightly so more historical bars are visible, or switch to a timeframe with more data loaded. Give it ten seconds to recalculate.

Reading Regime Guard in Three Contexts

The tool behaves differently in each market environment. Here is what to expect.

Trending session

The mode shows Trending. The score is above 65. The gravity centre is well below current price in an uptrend, or well above in a downtrend. Phase flip markers point in one direction.

In this context, Regime Guard is telling you: the market has picked a direction and is following through. Every pull-in toward the gravity zone is a potential re-entry, not a reversal signal. Your job is to stay with the trend until the regime score drops below 50 or the state changes.

What to watch: the gravity zone acting as a floor in uptrends and a ceiling in downtrends. Price bouncing off it cleanly confirms the state.

Choppy session

The mode shows Mean-Reverting or the score is below 45. Price is oscillating inside the gravity zone. Phase flips are happening frequently, often within an hour of each other.

In this context, Regime Guard is telling you: momentum strategies will get chopped up. Breakout entries are likely to fail. If you trade this session at all, fade the extremes with tight targets. Most experienced traders reduce size significantly when the regime score stays below 40 for more than two hours.

What to watch: the gravity zone edges. In a mean-reverting state, price tends to snap back sharply when it touches them. These are the only useful entry points in this context.

Reversal session

The mode reads Overextended or Breakout. In Overextended, the score is high but the state label is flagging that price has moved too far too fast. In Breakout, the score is climbing sharply from a low base and the state just changed.

Overextended is a warning to stop chasing. It does not mean sell immediately, but it does mean the easy part of the move is behind you. Breakout is the opposite: the market has just transitioned from range to trend, and early positioning now often captures the biggest part of the move.

What to watch: the direction of the phase flip in a Breakout state. Upward flips with a rising score mean buy the first pull-in. Downward flips with a falling score mean the trend has ended, not just paused.

Decision Flow

Three states. Three different things to do.

Act

Regime is Trending or Breakout, score above 65.

Trade in the direction of the state. Size normally. Use the gravity zone as your trailing reference for stops. Stay with the trade until the score drops below 50 or the state flips.

Wait

Regime is Overextended, or score is climbing from below 40.

If you are in a trade, take partial profits and tighten stops. If you are looking to enter, wait for the regime to clarify. Either the score drops back and the move fades, or a Breakout state confirms and gives you a clean entry.

Stand Aside

Regime is Mean-Reverting and score is below 40 or oscillating.

The market is not trending. Momentum trades lose here. If you must trade, fade only the gravity zone edges with targets inside the zone. Reduce size. Most professional traders stand aside entirely when the regime stays choppy for more than two sessions.

Questions Members Ask

Real questions from the member community.

The regime says Trending but price just dropped sharply. Should I close my long?

Not immediately. Check the score first. A Trending state with a score above 65 absorbs temporary pullbacks. Price dipping back to the gravity zone inside a Trending state is normal and often the best re-entry point you will see all day. The state only becomes a concern when the score drops below 50 or the state label changes to something else. Watch the label, not just the price bar.

How do I size my trade based on the regime?

Use full size when the regime is Trending and the score is above 70 with other tools confirming. Use half size when the regime is Breakout but has just flipped, because early breakouts can fail. Use quarter size or no trade at all when the state is Mean-Reverting. The regime score gives you a direct read on conviction, and sizing should reflect that honestly.

The regime keeps flipping between states every hour. What does that mean?

It means the market is genuinely undecided. Frequent flips are not a tool fault, they are an honest read of an indecisive market. When you see three or more state changes in a single session, that is the tool telling you to reduce activity. The edge disappears when the market cannot hold a state for more than an hour.

Is there a best time of day to use this?

The first read of the day, before you have traded, is the most important. Check the regime state at the open. If it is already Trending from overnight, you are walking into a session where the path of least resistance is already established. If it opens Mean-Reverting, treat the whole morning with caution until a clear state forms. The London open and NY open are typically the moments where regimes establish or reset.

Can I use this on forex or gold?

Yes. The tool works across instruments and timeframes. On forex, the gravity zone tends to be tighter relative to bar range because major pairs have lower volatility. On gold, the state transitions can be sharp because the instrument responds strongly to macro news. The logic is the same regardless of instrument: check the state, check the score, trade accordingly.

What if the regime says one thing and my other tools say something else?

That is a disagreement, not an error. When Regime Guard says Mean-Reverting but Trend Guard shows a strong uptrend, it usually means the short-term picture is choppy while the bigger picture is still bullish. In that situation, most traders wait for the regime to clarify before adding. When multiple tools agree, the conviction is higher. When they disagree, the honest position is to wait.
