The Core Concept: The Regime is King

First and foremost, you need to look at the background color. This is the "Regime Filter," and it's the most important visual on the chart.

Green Background (Bullish Regime): The strategy believes the overall market trend is UP. During this time, it is only looking for LONG (buy) signals. It will ignore all short signals.
Red Background (Bearish Regime): The strategy believes the overall market trend is DOWN. During this time, it is only looking for SHORT (sell) signals. It will ignore all long signals.

Rule #1: The strategy will never take a long trade when the background is red, and it will never take a short trade when the background is green.
The Visual Indicators on the Chart
1. The Regime Flip Arrows (Teal and Orange Triangles)
These arrows ARE NOT trade signals. They are informational alerts that tell you the regime has just changed.

Teal Triangle (pointing up): This appears at the exact moment the background flips from Red to Green. It means: "Attention, a new Bullish Regime may be starting. The strategy is now allowed to look for long entries."
Orange Triangle (pointing down): This appears at the exact moment the background flips from Green to Red. It means: "Attention, a new Bearish Regime may be starting. The strategy is now allowed to look for short entries."

2. The Blue and Gray Lines (Keltner Channels)
These lines measure volatility and potential price exhaustion.
Gray Line (Middle): This is the moving average, representing the short-term "fair value" of the price.
Blue Lines (Upper and Lower): These are the volatility boundaries. When prices are moving normally, they tend to stay within these blue lines.

How the strategy uses them: It looks for "reversal" signals at these boundaries. This is a counter-trend component.

• If the price closes BELOW the lower blue line, it's considered a potential capitulation or oversold condition. This adds points to the LONG score (the killerLong signal).
  
• If the price closes ABOVE the upper blue line, it's considered a potential exhaustion or overbought condition. This adds points to the SHORT score (the killerShort signal).
  

3. The Score Label (e.g., L: 2.5 / S: 0.0)
This is the strategy's "brain" shown in text form. It appears periodically on the chart.
L: shows the current calculated Long Score.
S: shows the current calculated Short Score.
This score is the sum of weights from all 7 indicators in the system (Whalemap, Keltner, Vix-Fix, QQE, etc.). For a trade to happen, this score must reach the threshold you set in the settings (e.g., 2.0).

How to Read the Chart for a Trade
Let's walk through the exact process the strategy follows to take a LONG trade. (The process for a SHORT trade is the exact opposite).

Step 1: Check the Regime
The first thing the strategy does on every candle is check the background. Is it GREEN?
If No, it stops here. No long trade is possible.
If Yes, it proceeds to Step 2.

Step 2: Calculate the Score
The strategy now looks at all its signals from both the main chart and the lower pane to build a score. For example:
Did the price just close below the lower blue Keltner Channel? (+1.0 point to Long Score)
Did the Vix-Fix wave in the lower pane just signal a bottom? (+1.0 point to Long Score)
Did the Momentum line in the lower pane just cross its signal line? (+0.5 points to Long Score)
Did a "Whale" volume signal appear? (+1.0 point to Long Score)
...it continues this for all 7 components and adds up the points.

Step 3: The Decision
The strategy compares the final score to your longThreshold setting. Let's say your threshold is 2.0.
If the final scoreLong is 1.5, it's not high enough. No trade is taken.
If the final scoreLong is 2.5, it is greater than or equal to the 2.0 threshold. The condition is met, and it proceeds to Step 4.

Step 4: Execute the Trade
Because the Regime was correct (Green) AND the Score was high enough (>= 2.0), the strategy executes a buy order. At this moment, you will see a blue "L" entry arrow appear on your chart, plotted by the TradingView strategy engine itself. This is the final confirmation that a trade was actually placed.
