mrD-Forex Signals

BTCUSDT 5m structure-break engine — Main and DCA setups with paired entries, six staged take-profits, a fixed stop, and on-bar TP/SL hit markers.

mrD-Forex Signals is a structure-break trade-idea engine preset-tuned for BTCUSDT 5m. When the market breaks the last confirmed swing in the body of a candle, the indicator fires a BUY or SELL signal, draws a two-leg entry zone, a fixed stop, and a six-step take-profit ladder, then tracks every TP and SL hit live on the bar where it happened. It is meant to replace the spreadsheet of "wait for a break, mark entries, ladder TPs" that Forex-style structure traders already do by hand on BTC.

Settings reference

The dialog is intentionally short — the preset does the heavy lifting, the only knob is how much you want plotted.

Section	Setting	Default	Notes
FX	Preset	BTCUSDT · 5m	Read-only. The engine is tuned to one market and one timeframe; switching the chart elsewhere hides the overlay.
	Mode	All	All — plot Main and DCA signals. Main only — hide DCA add-ons; keep just the primary structure-break entries.

There are no thresholds to tune, no input lengths, no toggle for "scalp vs swing". The signals you see are exactly the ones the preset emits.

What it draws

Each signal stacks up to five visual layers on the chart. They appear in order, on the bar that triggered the structure break.

Layer	Look	What it marks
Signal label	Up triangle + `BUYM` / `BUYD` text below the candle, or down triangle + `SELLM` / `SELLD` above it.	The bar that closed beyond the last confirmed pivot. `M` = Main (fresh trend signal), `D` = DCA (same-direction add).
Entry zone	Translucent green (long) or red (short) band stretching to the right from the signal bar.	The price area you'd ladder into. The band's two edges are the two entry legs (see below).
Level lines	Dashed horizontal lines extending right with right-edge labels — `ET1`, `ET2`, `AVG`, `SL`, `TP1` … `TP6`.	The two entry legs (`ET1`, `ET2`), their averaged fill (`AVG`), the fixed stop (`SL`), and the six profit targets. Lines for hit TPs disappear so the chart stays clean.
TP hit marker	Small green ring + `TPxM` / `TPxD` text on the bar where the target was reached.	Live confirmation that target `x` printed for that Main or DCA trade.
SL hit marker	Red `×` cross + `SLM` / `SLD` text.	The trade closed at the stop on that bar. The entry zone and remaining TP lines retire at the same time.

The Main vs DCA distinction is the key read. A Main signal is the engine's primary call — a clean break of the last confirmed swing in a new direction. A DCA signal fires when the trend already exists and the engine sees another break in the same direction — a re-load, not a fresh trade. Main only mode hides the DCAs entirely.

How to read it

Main signal (BUYM / SELLM) — the engine just flipped its directional read. Treat this as the trade idea. The entry zone is the band between ET1 and ET2; the averaged fill AVG is what the engine measures its risk from.
DCA signal (BUYD / SELLD) — same-direction add while the existing trade is still live. Only relevant if you actually ladder; otherwise switch to Main only and ignore.
The two entry legs (ET1, ET2) — ET1 sits at the structure level that just broke; ET2 is the bar's open. Splitting the entry in two gives you a worse-case fill at the break and a better-case fill at the pullback, then averages them. Either fill one leg or both — the AVG line is where your average price lands if you fill both.
The stop (SL) — fixed distance from AVG. It does not trail. If price prints through it before any TP hits, the engine retires the trade and prints the SL marker. Below this line the trade is over — don't argue with it.
The TP ladder (TP1 … TP6) — six staged targets at growing reward-to-risk. The first target is the closest one; the later targets snap toward nearby pivots so they land at meaningful structure rather than arbitrary distances. Scale out as each ring prints; never widen the SL to "wait for the next one".
The entry-zone band fading out — once SL is hit, the band, the stop line, and any unhit TP lines all retire. The hit markers stay so you can review the trade after the fact.

The cleanest read is: enter on the band, mark AVG and SL in your broker, scale at each TP ring as it prints. The on-chart markers are post-trade truth — they confirm what actually happened on the bar where it happened.

Common pitfalls

Loading the indicator on the wrong symbol or timeframe — the preset is tied to BTCUSDT · 5m. On any other market the engine silently does nothing; an empty chart is not a bug, it's the preset refusing to run on data it wasn't built for.
Treating a BUYD / SELLD as a fresh trade — DCAs are adds to an existing position. They share the same Main SL and don't open a separate stop. If you fire a brand-new trade on every DCA you're stacking risk that the engine didn't size for. Switch to Main only mode if you don't ladder.
Chasing the AVG after price has run past ET2 — the entry zone has expired the moment price closes through ET2 in the trade's direction. The AVG line is still drawn (it's where the engine measures from), but it is no longer an executable level. Wait for the next Main signal.
Moving or widening the SL — the stop is fixed per signal. If you tighten it you'll miss winners that wick the level and recover; if you widen it you'll turn a clean stop-out into a deep loss. Read the SL as the trade's pre-declared invalidation.
Reading the TP1 hit ring as the whole signal "winning" — a TP1 hit is just the first target. The engine measures the full distribution across the six targets. A signal that prints TP1 then reverses through SL is a small loss, not a win. Use the markers to review the full trade, not the first checkpoint.

What's next

Smart Ranges — the structure-zone framework these signals build on; useful for reading why the engine called the level it did.
Live Signals — the multi-indicator signal aggregator that ties this engine's output into broader screener alerts.
Volume — confirm a break with a volume spike before pulling the trigger on the entry band.
Large Trades — see which side actually paid at the break bar; a clean break with no large-trade follow-through is a fade candidate.
