WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES
Session Filtering: Identifies optimal US trading hours (Blue Tint).
Entry Zones: Signals pullbacks to the 21-period Moving Average (Yellow Line).
Short Protection: A built-in filter to stop you from shorting into "oversold" or "strong trend" conditions.
Risk Management: Provides ATR-based and Swing-based stop loss levels.
QUICK START GUIDE
Apply to Chart: Best used on SPX, SPY, ES, or US500.

Green Action: Good to go.
Red Action: Stay out/Wait.

UNDERSTANDING THE VISUALS Background Colors:
Light Green: Bullish trend; favor longs.
Light Red: Bearish trend; shorts permitted.
Gray: Choppy market; exercise caution.
Blue Tint: Active US trading session.

Moving Averages:
Yellow (21 MA): The primary entry zone for pullbacks.

THE SHORT FILTER (IMPORTANT) To prevent "shorting the bottom," the indicator only permits shorts when:
Price is below the 50 MA.
The 21 MA and 50 MA are both sloping down.
RSI is between 45-65. If the table says "NO SHORTS," do not fight the algorithm.

"BUY ZONE" label must appear during the US Session (Blue tint).
Enter Long. Place stop at the Red Circle or Orange Cross.
For Shorts:
Wait for Red background (Bearish).
Price must bounce up to the Yellow 21 MA line.
