PDH/PDL Liquidity Reversal - 15M Confirmed Close

🔍 Overview

This indicator identifies high-probability reversal setups based on Previous Day High (PDH) and Previous Day Low (PDL) liquidity sweeps. It is designed for use on the 15-minute timeframe, using higher timeframe context from the daily range.

The strategy focuses on capturing false breakouts (liquidity grabs) where price moves beyond a key level, traps traders, and then reverses.

🧠 Core Concept

Markets often:

Break above resistance (PDH) → trigger breakout buyers → reverse down
Break below support (PDL) → trigger breakout sellers → reverse up

This script detects those conditions and signals when a confirmed reversal is likely underway.

⚙️ How It Works
1. Previous Day Levels
Automatically plots:
Previous Day High (PDH)
Previous Day Low (PDL)

These act as key liquidity zones.

2. Liquidity Sweep Detection
Tracks when price:
Moves above PDH
Moves below PDL

This indicates a potential stop hunt or liquidity grab.

3. 15-Minute Confirmation (Critical Rule)

Signals are only generated when:

BUY Setup:
Price sweeps below PDL
A 15M candle closes back above PDL
Optional: candle shows bullish rejection (closes in upper half)
SELL Setup:
Price sweeps above PDH
A 15M candle closes back below PDH
Optional: bearish rejection confirmation

👉 This prevents false signals from wick-only moves.

4. Trade Signals
BUY / SELL markers appear on the chart at the signal candle
Signals are limited to one per direction per day (optional)

Each signal includes:

Entry price (based on candle close)
Stop loss (based on current day extreme + buffer)
Target projection using configurable Risk:Reward
5. Risk & Trade Structure
Stop Loss:
BUY → below current day low
SELL → above current day high
Configurable buffer to avoid premature stop-outs
Minimum Risk:Reward filter (default 1.5R)
6. Smart Trailing Stop (Key Feature)

A structure-based trailing system is included:

Activates only after price reaches +1R
Trails using:
Higher lows (BUY trades)
Lower highs (SELL trades)
Includes ATR-based buffer to avoid tight stop-outs

👉 This allows trades to breathe while still locking in profits.

7. Visual Features
Clear PDH/PDL levels
BUY/SELL markers at confirmed entries
Order info labels (Entry, Stop, Target)
Adjustable label offset to prevent chart clutter
Trailing stop plotted dynamically
⏰ Best Use Cases
15-minute charts
High-liquidity sessions (New York session preferred)
Works across:
Futures (e.g., S&P 500 / Nasdaq-100)
Forex
High-volume stocks
⚠️ Important Notes
This is a confirmation-based system — patience is required
Not all sweeps lead to reversals; filtering is built in
Avoid low-volume or ranging market conditions
🎯 Strategy Objective

To consistently capture high-probability reversals after liquidity sweeps while:

Reducing false entries
Maintaining structured risk management
Allowing winners to run using adaptive trailing stops

Updated Indicator Change Description

Since the earlier script description, the indicator has been upgraded with several important execution, alert, and visual improvements.

1. Risk/Reward Updated

The default reward target was changed from:

1.5R

to:

2.0R

This means the projected target now uses a 2:1 reward-to-risk model by default.

2. Opposite Signal Blocking Added

The script now prevents conflicting trade alerts.

If currently in a BUY trade:

No SELL signal or SELL alert will trigger

unless:

The buy trade is exited, or a new trading day starts

If currently in a SELL trade:

No BUY signal or BUY alert will trigger

unless:

The sell trade is exited, or a new trading day starts

This keeps the indicator from flipping back and forth while a trade is still active.

3. Trade State Reset on New Day

At the start of each new trading day, the script resets:

BUY/SELL taken status
Sweep detection
Long/short trade state
Entry price
Stop loss
Risk value
Trailing stop values

This gives each trading day a fresh start.

4. Trailing Stop Color Changed

The trailing stop line was changed from separate green/red colors to:

Orange

This makes the trailing stop easier to visually separate from BUY/SELL signals and PDH/PDL levels.

5. NY Session Filter Added

A New York session filter was added.

Default session:

9:30 AM – 12:00 PM New York time

For PDT, this automatically corresponds to:

6:30 AM – 9:00 AM PDT

The script uses:

America/New_York

so TradingView handles daylight savings automatically.

When enabled, BUY/SELL signals only trigger during the selected NY session.

6. Near PDH/PDL Alerts Added

The script now includes early-warning alerts when price approaches:

Previous Day High
Previous Day Low

Default near-distance setting:

0.15%

This helps you prepare before the actual sweep-and-close confirmation occurs.

Example use:

Price is near PDL → prepare for possible sweep below PDL → wait for 15M close back above PDL
7. Near-Level Visual Markers Added

Small orange circle markers were added to show when price is near:

PDH
PDL

These are not trade entries. They are preparation alerts only.

The actual trade entry still requires:

15M candle close confirmation
8. Script Structure Clarified

The script now needs to follow this order:

1. indicator()
2. inputs
3. trade state variables
4. PDH / PDL calculation
5. session logic
6. near PDH / PDL logic
7. sweep detection
8. buy/sell confirmation logic
9. plotting
10. alerts

This prevents errors like:

Undeclared identifier

or:

Mismatched input
Updated Summary

The indicator is now a more complete NY-session PDH/PDL liquidity sweep system with:

15M candle close confirmation
2R target projection
active trade conflict protection
orange structure trailing stop
NY-only signal filtering
early Near PDH/PDL alerts
cleaner visual chart markers

Summary of Latest Indicator Changes

The indicator has been upgraded from a single-symbol A+ scoring tool into a multi-symbol scanner and alert system.

It now supports a 10-symbol scanner list, where:

Symbols 1–4 = Core 4
Symbols 5–10 = Rotating 6

Your Core 4 are placed in positions 1 through 4:

1. NVDA
2. TSLA
3. AAPL
4. MSFT

The remaining 6 positions are used for daily rotating symbols based on volume, relative volume, gap, and daily movement.

The main benefit is that you no longer need to manually watch every chart. The scanner can monitor your selected symbols and alert you when an A+ BUY or A+ SELL setup appears.

Detailed Description of Changes
1. Multi-Symbol Scanner Mode Added

A new Scanner Mode was added to the indicator.

This allows the script to monitor up to 10 symbols from inside one TradingView chart.

The scanner evaluates each symbol using the same core logic:

PDH/PDL level
Liquidity sweep
15M candle close confirmation
A+ scoring system
NY session filter
RSI confirmation if enabled
2. Core 4 Symbols Added to Positions 1–4

The first four scanner slots are now reserved for the strongest core symbols:

Symbol 1: NVDA
Symbol 2: TSLA
Symbol 3: AAPL
Symbol 4: MSFT

These are kept in the scanner every day because they usually provide:

High liquidity
Strong intraday range
Institutional participation
Clean PDH/PDL reactions
Strong alignment with NQ / tech-led market movement
3. Rotating 6 Symbols Added to Positions 5–10

The remaining six scanner slots are used for daily rotation.

These should be changed based on which stocks are most active that day.

The Rotating 6 should be selected using:

Relative Volume
Volume
% Change
Gap %
Daily range potential
News or catalyst

This gives the scanner flexibility while still keeping the watchlist high quality.

4. One Alert Can Monitor Multiple Symbols

The scanner uses alert() calls so TradingView can trigger alerts from multiple symbols inside the scanner module.

This allows one alert condition:

Any alert() function call

to notify you when any scanner symbol produces an A+ setup.

Example alert:

A+ BUY: NVDA | Score: 9/10 | TF: 15

or

A+ SELL: TSLA | Score: 8/10 | TF: 15
5. Scanner Timeframe Added

A scanner timeframe input was added.

Default:

15 minutes

This matches your execution model because the system requires a confirmed 15M candle close.

6. Scanner Uses the Same A+ Scoring Logic

Each scanned symbol is scored using the same 10-point model:

Near PDH/PDL
Sweep quality
Strong candle close
NY session timing
RSI confirmation

Only symbols that meet the A+ threshold trigger alerts.

Default A+ threshold:

8/10
7. Core Workflow Updated

Your workflow is now:

Core 4 stay fixed
Rotating 6 change daily
Scanner monitors all 10
Only A+ setups trigger alerts
Trader opens chart and confirms visually

This reduces screen time and keeps your attention on only the best setups.

Benefit to the Trader

This update provides several major benefits:

Less manual chart flipping
Faster awareness of A+ setups
Better focus on high-quality symbols
Reduced overtrading
Cleaner daily workflow
More consistent execution

The indicator now works as both:

A chart-based execution tool
and
A multi-symbol opportunity scanner

The Core 4 give you a stable foundation, while the Rotating 6 let you adapt to the strongest movers each day.

Latest Update:

📘 Update: Unified Trade Labels + Direction-Based Color Logic
Summary

This update replaced the previous dual-label system with a single combined execution label and introduced direction-based color coding.

Previously, the indicator created:

Trade Quality Label
+
Order Information Label

at the same chart location.

This caused:

overlapping labels
hidden text
unreadable chart areas
color confusion (SELL A+ appearing green)

The update merges those into one professional trade label.

🔧 What Changed
1. Combined Multiple Labels Into One

The indicator previously generated:

Label 1
BUY A+
Score: 9/10
Label 2
BUY ORDER
Entry
Stop
Target

Those labels occupied the same coordinates.

Now both were merged into:

BUY A+
Score: 9/10
Entry
Stop
Target

Only one label is created.

2. Direction-Based Color System Added

The old logic colored labels based on score.

Example:

SELL A+

appeared:

🟢 Green

which looked incorrect.

Now color is determined by:

BUY → Green family
SELL → Red family

Score determines intensity.

🎨 New Label Color Logic
BUY Labels
BUY A+ → Strong Green
BUY A → Medium Green
BUY B → Light Green
BUY SKIP → Gray
SELL Labels
SELL A+ → Strong Red
SELL A → Medium Red
SELL B → Light Red
SELL SKIP → Gray
📊 Label Content Now Includes

Every signal label displays:

Direction
Score
Entry
Stop
Target

Example:

SELL A+
Score: 8/10

Entry: 110.80
Stop: 111.10
Target 2R: 110.20
🧠 Benefit to the Trader

This update improves:

✅ Decision Speed

Direction is immediately visible.

✅ Reduced Visual Clutter

Only one label instead of stacked labels.

✅ Faster Trade Recognition

BUY = Green
SELL = Red

No interpretation required.

✅ Better Execution Confidence

All important information appears together.

✅ Cleaner Historical Review

Past signals become easier to evaluate.

🧠 Impact on Your Workflow

Before:

Score Label
+
Order Label
=
Clutter

Now:

One Label
=
One Decision
🎯 Final Result

This update transformed the indicator from:

Signal Generator

into a more polished:

Trade Decision Interface

where:

Direction
+
Quality
+
Risk
+
Reward

are visible instantly from a single label.

Note di rilascio

Latest Update:

Removed Setup Label on upper right of chart as it was redundant.

Note di rilascio

The indicator is designed to be non-repainting. It uses previous-day confirmed levels, 15-minute candle close confirmation, and lookahead_off in higher-timeframe requests. Signals should not appear historically using future data.

Note di rilascio

Updated to include Mid-Line of the PDH & PDL

Note di rilascio

📘 Update: Custom Session PDH / PDL Engine + Midline Stability
Summary

The indicator’s Previous Day High (PDH) and Previous Day Low (PDL) logic was redesigned to eliminate level shifting during the trading session.

Previously, PDH/PDL were derived from:

request.security(..., "D", ...)

This caused levels to sometimes:

Update at day rollover
Then shift again several candles later

especially on:

Futures
Extended-hours charts
Mixed session markets

The indicator now calculates PDH/PDL using a custom session-based engine.

Result:

One session
One PDH
One PDL
One Midline
🔧 What Changed
1. Replaced Daily request.security() PDH/PDL Logic
Previous method

Used:

request.security(
syminfo.tickerid,
"D",
high[1]
)

and

request.security(
syminfo.tickerid,
"D",
low[1]
)

Issue:

Session rollovers caused double updates
New method

Builds:

Current session high
Current session low
Stores completed session
Uses that as PDH/PDL

Benefit:

Stable levels
More consistent behavior
2. Added Session Inputs for PDH / PDL

New inputs added:

PDH/PDL Session
PDH/PDL Timezone

Examples:

Stocks:

0930–1600
America/New_York

Futures:

1800–1700
America/New_York

Benefit:

Levels now match the actual market traded
3. Midline (Yellow Line) Fully Integrated

Added:

PD Midline
=
(PDH + PDL) / 2

Displayed as:

🟡 Yellow

Benefit:

Visual equilibrium reference
Potential trail activation reference
4. Restored Near PDH / Near PDL Alerts

These were preserved:

nearDistance
nearPDH
nearPDL

Additional protection added:

not na(pdh)
not na(pdl)

Benefit:

Prevents alert failures
Prevents invalid scoring
5. Reduced Repaint Risk

Earlier you changed:

lookahead_on
→
lookahead_off

This update complements that.

Result:

Previous session fixed
Confirmed levels only
Lower repaint behavior
📊 Before vs After
Feature Before After
PDH/PDL Source Daily request.security Session-based
Mid-session shifts Possible Reduced
Futures behavior Inconsistent Improved
Midline None Added
Near Alerts Existing Preserved
Repaint Risk Low Lower
🧠 Benefit to the Trader

This update improves:

✅ Confidence

PDH/PDL no longer appear to “move.”

✅ Cleaner Sweep Detection

False sweeps should reduce.

✅ Better A+ Scoring Inputs

Scoring now references more stable levels.

✅ More Reliable Paper Testing

You can trust historical chart behavior more.

✅ Better Multi-Market Support

Stocks, futures, and forex behave more consistently.

🎯 Result

The indicator now treats:

Previous Day Levels
=
Session-defined market structure

instead of:

Calendar day boundaries

Note di rilascio

📘 Latest Indicator Update Summary

These latest edits significantly improved the indicator’s:

Chart clarity
Session consistency
Trade visualization
Non-repainting reliability
Execution usability

The indicator is evolving from a development/debugging tool into a much cleaner and more professional trading interface.

🔧 Changes Implemented
1. Custom Session-Based PDH / PDL Engine Added
Previous Behavior

The indicator originally used:

request.security(..., "D", ...)

to calculate Previous Day High and Previous Day Low.

This caused issues where:

PDH/PDL changed twice
Levels shifted intraday
Futures sessions behaved inconsistently

especially on:

Futures
Extended-hours charts
Session rollover periods
New Behavior

The indicator now:

Tracks the active session high/low
Stores the completed session values
Uses them as PDH/PDL

using custom session logic.

New Inputs Added
PDH/PDL Session
PDH/PDL Timezone

Examples:

Stocks
0930-1600
America/New_York
Futures
1800-1700
America/New_York
Benefits
✅ PDH/PDL update only once
✅ Better futures behavior
✅ Cleaner session transitions
✅ More accurate market structure
✅ Lower repaint risk
2. PDH / PDL Midline Added

A new midpoint line was introduced:

(PDH + PDL) / 2

Displayed as:

🟡 Yellow

Purpose

The midpoint provides:

✅ Market equilibrium reference
✅ Additional structure guidance
✅ Potential future trailing-stop logic
✅ Better visual balance on chart
3. Near PDH / Near PDL Logic Preserved

The Near PDH / PDL alert system was retained.

These calculations remain active:

nearDistance
nearPDH
nearPDL

Additional protections added:

not na(pdh)
not na(pdl)

to prevent invalid signals before session initialization.

4. Non-Repainting Improvements

The indicator previously used:

lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_on

This was replaced with:

lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_off

in all applicable locations.

Result

Signals are now based on:

Confirmed previous session data
Confirmed 15M candle closes
Confirmed completed bars

This significantly reduces repaint behavior.

5. Removed Redundant Visual Elements

Several development/debugging visuals were cleaned up.

Removed Orange Dot Markers

The orange dots were determined to provide little decision-making value and mainly cluttered the chart.

Benefits:

✅ Cleaner candles
✅ Faster chart reading
✅ Less visual distraction
Removed Separate “15M CLOSE” Bubble

Previously:

BUY
15M CLOSE

was displayed separately from the execution label.

This became redundant because the combined label already implies:

15M candle confirmation completed

Benefits:

✅ Less duplication
✅ Cleaner signal visualization
✅ Simpler historical review
6. Combined Execution Label Enhanced

The combined execution label now contains:

Direction
Grade
Score
Entry
Stop
Target

Example:

BUY A+
Score: 9/10
Entry
Stop
Target 2R
7. Direction-Based Color System Added

BUY labels now use:

🟢 Green family

SELL labels now use:

🔴 Red family

Score quality changes shade intensity.

Examples
BUY
A+ = Dark Green
A = Medium Green
B = Light Green
SELL
A+ = Dark Red
A = Medium Red
B = Light Red
8. Execution Labels Repositioned Near Trade Levels

Execution labels were moved closer to the actual market structure levels:

BUY labels

Placed near:

🟢 PDL (green line)

SELL labels

Placed near:

🔴 PDH (red line)

instead of floating far above/below price.

Benefits
✅ Cleaner appearance
✅ Faster trade recognition
✅ Better visual relationship to structure
✅ More professional chart layout
📊 Overall Effect of These Updates

The indicator now provides:

Cleaner chart structure
Better futures compatibility
More stable PDH/PDL behavior
Reduced repaint risk
Improved trade visualization
Faster decision-making
Lower chart clutter
🧠 Current Indicator State

The indicator has evolved from:

Development / Debugging Tool

📘 Indicator Update Summary – Active Trade Status Panel

This update transformed the Trade Info Table from a historical signal display into a true Active Trade Management Panel.

The goal was to ensure the table reflects the current state of the trade rather than continuing to display information from a trade that has already completed.

🎯 Objective

Previously:

Trade triggers
↓
Table populates
↓
Trade stops out
↓
Table still shows old trade

This could create confusion because the chart appeared to have an active position when none existed.

🔧 Changes Implemented
1. Automatic Table Reset on Trade Exit

The following exit conditions now trigger a table reset:

Long Trade Exit

When:

Price touches or breaches Long Trailing Stop

the system now:

Closes Long Trade State
Clears Trade Information
Resets Table Variables
Short Trade Exit

When:

Price touches or breaches Short Trailing Stop

the system now:

Closes Short Trade State
Clears Trade Information
Resets Table Variables
2. Added "No Active Trade" State

A new trade status condition was introduced.

When no active trade exists:

lastTradeDirection == ""

the table displays:

Trade
No Active Trade

instead of showing outdated trade information.

📊 Table Behavior Before vs After
Previous Behavior
Trade Triggered
BUY A+
Score 8/10
Entry
Stop

No Active Trade
🧠 Benefits
Improved Situational Awareness

The table now answers:

Do I currently have an active trade?

at a glance.

Reduced Confusion

No more:

Old signals appearing active
Stale trade information
Better Live Trading Experience

The panel now behaves more like:

Professional Trade Dashboard

instead of:

Historical Signal Display
Cleaner Chart Workflow

You can now quickly determine:

Active Position
Table populated
No Position
No Active Trade

without inspecting the chart.

📈 Overall Impact

This update completes the transition of the Trade Info Table from a:

Signal Notification Tool

to a:

Live Trade Management Panel

The indicator now provides:

✅ PDH / PDL Market Structure
✅ Midline Reference
✅ A+ Signal Identification
✅ Entry / Stop / Target Information
✅ Trailing Stop Management
✅ Active Trade Status Monitoring
✅ Automatic Trade Completion Detection

This is a meaningful usability improvement because it reduces cognitive load and allows you to focus on finding the next valid setup rather than determining whether the previous trade is still active.

Note di rilascio

The Problem We Discovered

When you enabled:

Reset This Chart Display

the table correctly changed to:

No Active Trade

However, when you turned it back off, the old trade immediately returned.

Why?

Because Pine Script reprocesses all historical bars every time the indicator recalculates.

The script was essentially doing this:

Load Chart
↓
Read Historical Bars
↓
Find Old BUY A+ Signal
↓
Rebuild Trade Table
↓
Rebuild Trade State

So the reset wasn't failing.

The historical signal was simply being rediscovered.

What We Added

We added:

resetAfterTime = input.time(...)

and

allowSignalsAfterReset = time >= resetAfterTime

Then wrapped the signal generation:

finalBuySignal =
allowSignalsAfterReset and
canBuy and
validBuyRisk

finalSellSignal =
allowSignalsAfterReset and
canSell and

What This Does

Instead of trying to erase history, we tell the indicator:

Ignore all signals before this date/time.

Example:

Current Time = June 5, 2026 09:00

Any BUY or SELL signal generated before:

June 5, 2026 09:00

is ignored.

The indicator behaves as if those trades never happened.

Why This Is Better
Old Method
Clear variables
↓
Indicator reloads
↓
Old signal found again
↓
Trade returns
New Method
Indicator reloads
↓
Old signal found
↓
Signal timestamp checked
↓
Too old
↓
Ignored

The trade never gets rebuilt.

Benefits
1. Clears One Chart Only

You specifically wanted:

Clear the chart I am viewing
Do NOT affect all charts

This accomplishes exactly that.

Each chart can have its own:

Ignore Signals Before This Time

value.

2. Preserves Future Trades

The indicator continues operating normally from the reset point forward.

New BUY and SELL signals still work.

Alerts still work.

Trade panel still works.

Trailing stop still works.

3. Cleaner Watchlist Workflow

This is especially useful when you open:

Scanner Candidate
↓
Old signal from 2 days ago
↓
Trade panel clutter

Now you can simply:

Reset to Current Time

and begin evaluating only fresh setups.

Practical Use Case

Tomorrow morning:

Open VECO
Old BUY from yesterday

Instead of removing/readding the indicator:

Set Ignore Signals Before This Time
= Now

Result:

Old BUY disappears
Trade panel clears
Only new signals are shown
Overall Assessment

This is one of the cleaner quality-of-life improvements we've added.

It does not change the trading logic.

It does not affect scoring.

It does not affect alerts.

It simply gives you a way to tell the indicator:

"Start fresh from this point forward on this chart."

For someone working through scanner candidates every day, that's much more practical than constantly removing and reapplying the indicator.

PDH/PDL Liquidity Reversal Indicator
Engineering Change Record (ECR)
ECR-0005
Trade Persistence & Panel Clearing Logic Fix

Date: July 2, 2026

Status: Verified

Background

During live market testing of Version 2 of the PDH/PDL Liquidity Reversal Indicator, several charts continued displaying completed trades long after those trades should have been considered inactive.

Although the original design intentionally allowed an active trade to remain visible until either:

the 2R profit target was achieved, or
the stop loss was reached,

testing revealed an unintended consequence.

When a previous trade remained active, the Trade Information Panel became "locked" to that trade and prevented any new signals from being displayed.

Symptoms Observed

During live trading the following behaviors were observed:

1. Previous trades remained on screen

Charts continued displaying:

BUY A+
SELL A+
Entry
Stop
Target
Score

even though a completely different market setup had already developed.

2. New A+ signals appeared missing

Several stocks appeared to have no current trade information.

Example:

JACK

Initially displayed the previous day's BUY trade.

After that BUY trade finally stopped out, the panel immediately revealed:

SELL A+ (8/10)

This confirmed the SELL setup had actually existed but had been hidden behind the previous BUY.

3. Manual Clear option ineffective

A "Clear Trade" setting had previously been added.

Testing showed:

Clearing temporarily removed the trade.
As soon as the setting was turned OFF,
the previous trade immediately returned.

Therefore the Clear function was only cosmetic and not actually resetting the indicator state.

Root Cause Analysis

The indicator stored the current trade using persistent (var) variables.

Examples:

lastTradeDirection
lastTradeGrade
lastTradeEntry
lastTradeStop
lastTradeTarget

These variables were intentionally preserved from one bar to the next.

However, when the trade was cleared, only the display table was being refreshed.

The underlying persistent variables were never reset.

Therefore, on the next calculation the indicator simply rebuilt the Trade Panel from the old stored values.

In effect:

Trade Panel
↑
Persistent Variables
↑
Never Cleared

The display could be cleared.

The stored trade could not.

Corrective Action

The indicator was modified to separate two different operations:

1. Reset the stored trade

The persistent trade variables are now explicitly cleared.

Example:

lastTradeDirection := ""
lastTradeGrade := ""
lastTradeScore := na
lastTradeEntry := na
lastTradeStop := na
lastTradeTarget := na
lastTradeColor := color.gray

This removes the trade from memory.

2. Clear the displayed panel

Separately, the Trade Information Table is rebuilt with:

Trade
No Active Trade

and blank rows.

The display now accurately reflects the internal state.

Additional Compiler Issue

While implementing the reset logic an additional problem occurred.

The reset code was initially inserted before the variables were declared.

This produced compiler errors such as:

Undeclared identifier
lastTradeDirection

The solution was to move the reset logic below the variable declarations while leaving the daily reset logic near the beginning of the script.

This maintains proper variable scope and execution order.

Verification Testing

Testing was performed using live market data.

Test Case 1
Instrument

JACK

Initial State

Previous BUY trade remained visible.

Action

Price eventually crossed the stop loss.

Expected Result

Old BUY trade removed.

Actual Result

PASS

BUY trade disappeared.

Test Case 2

Immediately after the previous BUY cleared:

The indicator displayed:

SELL A+
Score 8/10

This proved:

the SELL setup already existed,
but had previously been hidden.
Result

PASS

Test Case 3

Subsequent live testing

Multiple symbols were monitored after market open.

Old trades cleared correctly.

New trades appeared normally.

Result

PASS

Operational Impact

This correction significantly improves indicator behavior.

Before:

Old Trade
↓

Locks Panel

↓

New Setup Hidden

After:

Old Trade Ends

↓

Trade State Reset

↓

Panel Cleared

↓

New Signal Immediately Visible
Benefits

The modification provides several important improvements:

Eliminates stale trade information.
Prevents previous trades from masking new opportunities.
Allows one trade lifecycle to complete cleanly before the next begins.
Ensures the Trade Information Panel accurately reflects the current market state.
Improves confidence in live trading by reducing operator confusion.
Establishes a clean state machine for future enhancements.
Lessons Learned

This issue reinforced an important engineering principle:

A visual display should never be treated as the source of truth. The display is only a representation of the underlying state.

By resetting both the stored trade state and the displayed panel independently, the indicator now behaves consistently and predictably.
