Scalp Signal Pro

# Scalp Signal Pro™ [SSP]

## Multi-Confluence Day Trading System for SPY, QQQ & IWM

---

## 📌 Overview

**Scalp Signal Pro™** is a professional-grade trading indicator specifically optimized for day trading and scalping major ETFs on 4-minute and 15-minute timeframes. Unlike simple crossover indicators that generate excessive noise, SSP uses a sophisticated multi-confluence scoring system that analyzes 15+ technical factors simultaneously, only triggering signals when multiple conditions align perfectly.

The indicator was designed with one goal: **Quality over Quantity**. Rather than flooding your chart with signals, SSP waits for high-probability setups where trend, momentum, volume, and price action all confirm the same direction.

## 🎯 Key Features



### 1. Multi-Confluence Scoring Engine
Every potential signal is scored across 15 technical factors:
- RSI momentum and extremes
- MACD crossovers and histogram strength
- 4-EMA stack alignment (9/21/50/200)
- VWAP position and bounces
- ADX trend strength with DI confirmation
- Volume spikes and buying/selling pressure
- Stochastic RSI crosses in extreme zones
- Bollinger Band bounces and squeezes
- Candlestick patterns (engulfing, hammer, shooting star)
- Momentum and Rate of Change
- Key level proximity (support/resistance)
- RSI divergence detection

Signals only trigger when the combined score reaches your threshold (default: 9 points).

### 2. Smart Quality Filters
Before any signal appears, it must pass 8 strict quality gates:
- ✅ Trend alignment (price vs EMAs and VWAP)
- ✅ Momentum confirmation (multiple indicators agree)
- ✅ Volume validation (above average required)
- ✅ Candle quality (no weak/indecision candles)
- ✅ No counter-signals (avoid overbought longs, oversold shorts)
- ✅ Trending market (ADX confirmation)
- ✅ Anti-chop filter (avoid consolidation zones)
- ✅ Session timing (avoid lunch hour chop)





### 3. Real-Time MTF Analysis Panel
A beautiful dashboard displaying market conditions across 5 timeframes:
- **Momentum** (0-200 scale) - Overall directional strength
- **Sentiment** (0-100 scale) - Bullish vs bearish bias
- **Volatility** (0-100 scale) - Current vs historical volatility
- **Bias Indicator** - Clear BULLISH / BEARISH / NEUTRAL reading

### 4. Automatic Key Levels
Six critical support/resistance levels plotted automatically:
- **PDH/PDL** - Previous Day High/Low (Cyan)
- **2DH/2DL** - 2 Days Ago High/Low (Orange)
- **PWH/PWL** - Previous Week High/Low (Pink)

Signals at these levels receive bonus scoring for higher probability setups.

### 5. Dynamic EMA Cloud
Visual trend identification using EMA 9/21 cloud:
- Green cloud = Bullish trend
- Red cloud = Bearish trend
- Cloud acts as dynamic support/resistance for retest entries
