How to use SulamX Pro
The complete guide to installing, reading and configuring SulamX Pro inside TradingView.
Getting Started#
Everything you need before your first chart — and the three steps from checkout to a working tool.
1.1What you need#
- A TradingView account (free or paid — any tier works; paid tiers allow more simultaneous alerts).
- The TradingView mobile app if you want alerts on your phone (recommended).
- An active SulamX Pro subscription.
SulamX Pro runs entirely inside TradingView. There is nothing to download or install on your computer.
1.2From purchase to access#
- Complete your purchase at sulamx.com. Checkout, billing, and invoices are handled securely by Paddle.com, our merchant of record.
- Send us your TradingView username. After checkout you'll be asked for the exact username of your TradingView account (the name in your TradingView profile — not your email). Reply with it, or email it to info@sulamx.com.
- We grant access. SulamX Pro is distributed through TradingView's official invite-only scripts system. Once access is granted to your username, the tool appears in your TradingView account. You'll receive a confirmation email when it's live.
1.3Adding SulamX Pro to your chart#
- Open any chart on TradingView.
- Click Indicators at the top of the chart.
- Open the Invite-only scripts tab.
- Click SulamX Pro. It loads directly onto your chart.
1.4Recommended chart setup#
SulamX Pro is built and calibrated for Nasdaq futures:
- Symbol:
MNQ1!(Micro E-mini Nasdaq-100) — orNQ1!if you trade the full-size contract. - Timeframe: 1 minute (recommended). The tool automatically adapts its internal calculations to the chart timeframe, and the 5-minute and 15-minute charts are also supported.
- Chart type: standard candles.
That's it. Default settings are the validated configuration — you do not need to change anything to start.
Reading the Chart#
Everything SulamX Pro shows is designed to answer three questions at a glance: what is the market's structure, where is a trade setup, and how did it resolve?
2.1Entry labels — LONG / SHORT#
When the confirmation process completes, a solid label appears at the entry candle:
- Long — blue label. The setup points up.
- Short — red label. The setup points down.
The label sits exactly at the entry price and stays on the chart as a permanent record. When the trade closes, the label darkens (deep blue / deep red) so you can instantly tell open from finished trades when scrolling history.
2.2The Quality Meter (1–5 ★)#
Each entry label carries a number from 1 to 5 — the quality rating of that setup (for example, LONG 4). It grades how many of the tool's quality checks the setup passed. Higher is better. Hover over the label on desktop to see a plain-language description of that rating.
The rating is informational — it never changes which setups appear. It's there to help you weigh each event with discipline instead of treating every chart event equally.
2.4TP1 / TP2 / SL — levels, lines, and $ labels#
At entry time, SulamX Pro draws the full trade plan:
- TP2 — the primary target, green label, with a dollar amount based on your reference position size.
- TP1 — an optional partial target part-way to TP2 (amber label; only drawn when Partial exit at TP1 is on).
- SL — the protective stop, red label, with its dollar amount.
- Dotted price lines at entry, TP2, and SL follow the trade while it's open and disappear when it closes.
The dollar figures on labels (and inside alerts) scale automatically with the Position Size (reference) setting.
2.5TP1-hit recoloring#
When price reaches TP1, the amber TP1 label flips to dark green. Scrolling back through history, you can instantly see which trades reached their partial target — no digging required.
2.6The Break-Even (BE) tag#
With the Break-Even Stop option on, once price travels half-way to the target the stop jumps to the entry price (plus a small buffer) — so a full reversal closes the trade roughly flat instead of at a loss. The moment protection engages, an orange BE tag is drawn on the moved stop line.
If break-even protection was enabled but the trade ended before it could engage, a gray BE tag appears at the close — so you always know whether protection was active on that trade.
2.7WIN / LOSS chips#
When a trade finishes, a small chip is drawn next to the entry label:
- Win — dark green chip: the target was reached.
- Loss — dark red chip: the stop was hit.
- A break-even close (protected trade that returned to entry after banking TP1) gets no LOSS chip — the entry label keeps its live color and the BE tag tells the story.
Chips persist on the chart, so a quick scroll shows you the full historical record — wins, losses, and protected trades, exactly as they happened.
2.8The delayed-confirmation marker 🔄#
Occasionally an entry is confirmed only after the trend filter finishes settling. These entries carry a small 🔄 prefix on the label, and the label tooltip explains it. It's the same kind of entry — just confirmed on a short delay.
2.9Structure labels — HH / HL / LH / LL#
SulamX Pro continuously maps the market's structure:
- HH (Higher High) and LL (Lower Low) — structure breaks, the most important context.
- HL (Higher Low) and LH (Lower High) — retests and continuation points.
Next to each structure label, a compact Q-tag (Q1–Q5) grades the size of that structural move on a five-step scale — Q1 is the smallest, Q5 the largest (a full structural break). The Q-tags use progressively deeper shades of teal so you can read structural strength at a glance.
2.10Context labels — BTD / STR#
Two small context markers appear at meaningful pullback points:
- BTD ("Buy The Dip") — a swing low forming inside an upward context.
- STR ("Sell The Rally") — a swing high forming inside a downward context.
These are context only — they are not trade entries and open no position.
2.11Boundary lines and the structure channel#
- Structure channel — the upper and lower lines (plus an optional midline) that frame the current swing environment. This is the boundary structure the tool uses to confirm swings.
- Boundary lines — horizontal lines locked at the latest confirmed upper and lower structural extremes, with right-edge labels (Upper / Lower / Mid). They update on every new structure break and act as clean reference levels.
2.12Restricted-hours background shading#
During restricted trading windows (see Section 5), the chart background is tinted a soft red. Bars inside the tint are hours where new entries are filtered out. You always see exactly when the hours filter is active — nothing is hidden.
Alerts#
SulamX Pro's alerts are built essentials-first: the first line of every alert carries the heart of the message — result or direction, quality rating, size, and streak — so even a truncated phone push tells you what happened.
3.1Enabling alerts (one-time setup)#
- With SulamX Pro on your chart, click the Alert button (⏰) in TradingView's top toolbar — or press
ALT + A. - Under Condition, select SulamX Pro.
- In the second dropdown, select Any alert() function call. This single alert covers every event type — you do not need separate alerts per event.
- Set Expiration to Open-ended.
- In the Notifications tab, tick the channels you want: Notify in app (phone push), Show pop-up, Send email, Play sound.
- Click Create.
Which events actually fire is controlled inside SulamX Pro's own settings (group 9 — see Section 4.9), so you can change your alert mix any time without recreating the TradingView alert.
3.2The alert flow of a trade#
A typical trade produces this sequence (items marked optional are off by default — enable them in group 9):
- Context heads-up (optional) — a Dip-Buy or Rally-Sell zone alert, or a structure Breakout/Breakdown alert. Pure context; no position opens.
- ✅ New Trade — Long or Short: the confirmation process completed and a trade is on the chart. First line: direction, quality rating (stars plus Prime / Aim when present), and size. Detail lines: entry, TP1 (when active), TP2, and SL — each with its dollar amount — plus the current streak.
- 🎯 TP1 Hit (optional) — the partial target was reached and profit was banked; the message shows what was banked, whether the stop moved, and the remaining target.
- 🟠 Stop moved to Break-Even (optional) — protection engaged: the original stop, the new stop, and how much risk was removed. The moved stop carries its BE tag on the chart.
- 🏁 Trade Closed — Win, Loss or Break-even: the final word. First line: result and amount, direction, quality, and streak. Detail lines: points, entry → exit prices, in/out times, duration, and contracts.
The direction line of an entry alert may also carry a context note — for example (Dip-Buy) or (Continuation) — telling you which kind of setup produced it.
3.3Getting alerts on your phone#
- Install the TradingView app (iOS / Android) and sign in to the same account.
- In the app: Menu → Settings → Notifications — make sure push notifications are enabled for alerts.
- In each alert's Notifications tab on desktop, tick Notify in app.
That's the whole setup. From then on, every enabled event lands on your lock screen with the essentials in the first line.
Settings Walkthrough#
Open the settings by double-clicking any SulamX Pro element on the chart, or via the gear icon next to the indicator's name. Settings are organized into nine groups.
Defaults are the validated configuration — everything below is explained so you can tailor the display, not because anything needs changing.
4.1Group 1 — Trade Setup#
The core display of entries and their levels. In the settings panel this group is listed as Group 1 — Signals & Trade Setup.
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Trade Type | Long and Short | Restrict the tool to one direction if you only trade one way. |
⚡ Enable Signals (master) | ON | The master switch for the whole engine. OFF = no entries, no labels, no alerts. |
| Entry Label Size / Colors | normal / blue & red | Size and colors of the LONG/SHORT labels, including the darker "closed" shades. |
| Show TP / SL Labels | ON | The TP2 and SL labels at entry time, plus the dashed stop line that follows the trade. |
| 🔻 Shrink oversized trades into a $ band | OFF | Optional personal-preference tool: pulls both target and stop inward on unusually large setups so trade sizes stay in a consistent dollar band, with reward-to-risk unchanged. The threshold and shrink % below it apply only when this is ON. |
| Show Price Lines (entry/SL/TP) | ON | The dotted lines at entry / TP2 / SL while a trade is open. |
| 🆕 Highlight Closed Trades (WIN/LOSS chip) | ON | The WIN / LOSS chips from Section 2.7. |
| Show Entry Range | ON | Two small arrow lines marking the entry price and an inner reference level. |
| Arrow Range Filter | ON | A safety check: cancels an entry if its entry-range reference sits beyond the stop level. |
4.2Group 2 — Trade Management: Partial TP1 / BE#
Two functional switches plus their visuals.
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Partial exit at TP1 | OFF | The trade runs as two units: one banks profit at TP1, the other runs on to TP2. Draws the TP1 level and label. |
| Break-Even Stop | OFF | Once price travels half-way to the target, the stop jumps to entry (plus a small buffer) and a BE tag marks the move. Works with or without Partial TP1. |
| TP1 Label Size / Color / Hit Recolor / Hit Color | tiny / amber / ON / dark green | The TP1 marker's look, including the recolor-on-hit behavior from Section 2.5. |
| TP1 placement (% of the way to target) | 50 | Where TP1 sits between entry and TP2. 50 = half-way (validated default). |
| BE Label Size / Color | tiny / orange | The BE tag's look. |
4.3Group 3 — Contract & Position#
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Position Size (reference) | 1 | The reference size behind every dollar amount on labels and in alerts. Change it and all figures — including historical ones — recompute automatically. With Partial TP1 ON, a live size of 2 × this value matches the display (one unit exits at TP1, one runs). SulamX Pro is an indicator: it never places orders. |
4.4Group 3b — Dynamic Contracts (auto-size 1→5)#
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| ⚖️ Enable Dynamic Contracts | OFF | When ON, each entry is assigned a suggested size from 1 to 5 based on its quality tier — ordinary setups stay at the base size, and only the rare top-tier setups reach the larger sizes. Which setups appear never changes; only the suggested size does. |
| Contracts · Tier 1 ★ … Tier 5 ★★★★★ | 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 | The suggested contract count per quality tier. Most setups land in the lower tiers, so the average stays small. |
When Dynamic Contracts is on, entry labels show the size (e.g., LONG 5 PRIME x5), and you can choose whether alert dollar amounts follow the sizing (group 9).
4.5Group 4 — Direction Filters (Active)#
The direction filter itself is always on — it is the heart of the confirmation process and has no off switch. This group controls only its display:
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Show Blue Line (trend reference) | OFF | Draws the trend-reference line on the chart: LONG-friendly above it, SHORT-friendly below. Off by default for a cleaner chart. |
| Blue Line Color / Width / Smoothness | navy / 2 / 20 | Visual styling. Smoothness is display-only and never affects the filter logic. |
4.6Group 5 — Trading Hours#
See Section 5 for the full explanation. In short: a master switch, three built-in restricted windows, an optional manual window, and the background shading toggle.
4.7Group 6 — Display & Labels#
Everything about the structure map:
- HH / LL Labels (ON) and HL / LH Labels (ON) — the structure labels from Section 2.9, with independent size controls and per-label colors.
- Breakout / Breakdown Labels (OFF) — an extra label when a new structural high exceeds the previous one (and the mirror case).
- Show BTD/STR (ON) — the context labels from Section 2.10.
- Show Momentum Markers (OFF) — small squares marking the first push after a flat period at a structure boundary.
Fibonacci % on Labels(OFF) — a legacy numeric readout on structure labels. The Q-tags below are the modern replacement; both can be on together.- 🆕 Show Q-tags on Labels (Q1..Q5) (ON) — the five-step structural-strength tags, with size and five color controls.
- Show PRIME / AIM tag on entry labels (ON) — Section 2.3.
- Show Quality Meter (1–5 ★) on entry labels (ON) — Section 2.2.
- Show Structure Channel (ON) + Channel Midline (ON) — Section 2.11, with colors.
4.8Group 7 — Boundary Lines (and Group 8 — Arc)#
- Boundary Lines (ON), Boundary Midline (ON), Boundary Labels (ON) — the locked horizontal levels from Section 2.11, with width and color controls.
- Arc (OFF) — an optional curved trend cloud (fast vs. slow trend read) for visual context. Purely decorative; most users leave it off.
4.9Group 9 — Alerts#
Which events fire (all of them still require the one TradingView alert from Section 3.1):
| Toggle | Default |
|---|---|
| 🔔 Enable All Alerts (master) | ON |
| ✅ New Trade (LONG / SHORT) | ON |
| 🏁 Trade Closed (WIN / LOSS / Break-Even) | ON |
| $ amounts follow Dynamic Contracts | OFF (amounts are per one contract) |
| 🎯 TP1 Hit (partial exit) | OFF |
| 🟠 Stop moved to Break-Even | OFF |
| 📈 Zone Context (Dip-Buy / Rally-Sell) | OFF |
⛔ Signal Skipped (restricted hour) | OFF |
| 🕐 Restricted-Hours Window opens / closes | OFF |
| 🚀 Structure Breakout / Breakdown | OFF |
| 🌍 Alert Timezone | Asia/Jerusalem |
Set the Alert Timezone to match your chart so timestamps in messages agree with what you see.
The Trading-Hours Filter#
Not all hours are equal. SulamX Pro ships with a trading-hours filter that skips new entries during windows that historically produced lower-quality conditions.
It is on by default, fully visible, and fully under your control.
5.1The built-in windows#
All times are Israel time, UTC+2/+3, as shown in the settings.
| Window | Default | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 17:00–17:40 daily | ON | A scheduled window that historically produced lower-quality conditions. |
| Wednesday 20:30–21:30 | ON | The weekly contract-change window — historically erratic. |
| Night 00:00–08:00 | ON | The overnight session — thin liquidity. |
5.2What you see and control#
- The chart background is tinted soft red during any active window (Section 2.12), so filtered hours are always visible.
- The master switch (Enable Trading Hours Filter) turns the whole system off if you prefer unfiltered operation.
- A Manual Blocked Range lets you add one custom window of your own (format
HHMM-HHMM). Note that a range crossing midnight blocks the long way around — for overnight use0000-0800or the built-in Night toggle. - An optional morning toggle (08:00–12:00) is available for users who want a quieter morning; most entries are unaffected either way.
- Two opt-in alerts keep you informed.
⛔ Signal Skipped (restricted hour)tells you when a chart event was filtered, and🕐 Restricted-Hours Window opens / closesannounces the schedule itself.
Nothing is deleted or hidden: a filtered event simply doesn't become a trade, and you can audit every skip.
