Welcome to the Quantum Algo documentation. This guide covers everything from initial setup to advanced configuration. If you're new, start here and work through each section in order.
Prerequisites: A TradingView account (free or paid) and an active Quantum Algo subscription. If you don't have a subscription yet, view our plans.
Quantum Algo runs entirely within TradingView โ no additional software or downloads required. It works on any device that runs TradingView: desktop browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge), the TradingView desktop app, and the TradingView mobile app (iOS and Android).
A free TradingView account supports basic usage. A TradingView Pro plan is recommended for running multiple indicators simultaneously and setting unlimited price alerts.
After purchasing your plan, you'll receive an email with setup instructions. Here's the process:
Step 1: Provide your exact TradingView username (found in your TradingView profile settings โ this is different from your display name).
Step 2: We'll grant you access to the private indicator script within minutes.
Step 3: Open TradingView, click the Indicators button (or press /), search for "Quantum Algo" under Invite-Only Scripts, and click to add it to your chart.
The indicator will appear on your chart immediately with default settings optimized for a balanced approach across most markets.
Click the gear icon (โ๏ธ) on the Quantum Algo indicator label to open the settings panel. Settings are organized into the following categories:
Signal Mode โ Choose between Standard (balanced for all markets), Aggressive (more signals, lower confluence threshold), or Conservative (fewer signals, higher confluence required).
Chart Timeframe โ The primary timeframe for signal generation. This should match the chart timeframe you're viewing.
Signal Labels โ Toggle buy/sell label visibility on the chart.
Zone Overlay โ Show or hide support/resistance and institutional zones.
Color Scheme โ Choose between default, high-contrast, or color-blind-friendly palettes.
Quantum Algo generates several types of signals, each representing a different market condition:
Buy Signal (โฒ): A confirmed long entry where multi-timeframe confluence, institutional order flow, and active filters all align in the bullish direction.
Sell Signal (โผ): A confirmed short entry with bearish confluence across all validation layers.
Strong Buy / Strong Sell: Available on Atlas and Zeno plans. These fire when all signal layers produce maximum confluence โ typically the highest-probability setups.
Caution Zone: A visual overlay indicating overbought or oversold conditions where a reversal becomes statistically likely.
Multi-timeframe (MTF) validation is a core feature. By default, Quantum Algo checks one timeframe above your chart timeframe for directional alignment.
MTF Levels โ Set to 1 (check one higher TF), 2 (check two higher TFs), or Auto (algorithm selects optimal levels based on your chart TF).
MTF Strictness โ Strict requires all checked timeframes to agree. Majority requires 2 out of 3 to agree. Strict mode produces fewer but more reliable signals.
Filters allow you to customize signal sensitivity. Available filters (Atlas and Zeno plans):
Trend Filter โ Only generates signals in the direction of the prevailing trend. Uses a proprietary trend-detection algorithm that adapts to current market conditions.
Volatility Filter (ATR) โ Suppresses signals during extremely low or high volatility. Adjustable sensitivity from 1 (loose) to 10 (strict).
Volume Filter โ Requires above-average volume for signal confirmation. Helps avoid signals during low-liquidity periods.
Momentum Filter โ Integrates momentum conditions to avoid signaling against strong directional moves.
To set up alerts, right-click any signal on the chart and select Add Alert on Quantum Algo. TradingView supports three notification channels:
Push Notifications: Delivered instantly to the TradingView mobile app. Requires the app to be installed.
Email Alerts: Sent to the email address associated with your TradingView account.
Webhook URL: Sends a JSON payload to any URL you specify. Ideal for automated execution systems.
Zeno plan subscribers can connect Quantum Algo alerts to external platforms via webhooks. The alert payload follows this format:
Popular integrations include 3Commas, Cornix, Alertatron, and custom Python/Node.js execution bots. See our blog for integration tutorials.
The built-in backtesting suite (Atlas and Zeno plans) lets you validate any configuration against historical data. To run a backtest:
Step 1: Configure your indicator settings as desired.
Step 2: Open the TradingView Strategy Tester tab (bottom panel).
Step 3: Review the performance summary: net profit, win rate, profit factor, max drawdown, and trade-by-trade breakdown.
All backtesting results use non-repainting, candle-close-confirmed signals โ the same signals you would see in live trading.
The SMC layer (Atlas and Zeno plans) visualizes institutional positioning zones on your chart:
Order Blocks: Areas where institutional traders accumulated or distributed large positions. Displayed as shaded zones on the chart.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs): Price imbalances where the market moved too quickly, leaving gaps that often get filled. Marked with a distinct overlay.
Break of Structure (BOS): When price breaks a previous swing high or low, confirming a structural shift in the market.
Change of Character (CHoCH): The first sign of a potential trend reversal โ when the existing structure pattern breaks for the first time.
Make sure you're searching under Invite-Only Scripts, not the public library. If it still doesn't appear, verify that the TradingView username you provided matches your account exactly (case-sensitive). Contact support if the issue persists.
Check that the indicator is enabled (visible) and that your filter settings aren't too restrictive. Try resetting to default settings first. On very low-liquidity assets, signals may be infrequent by design.
Verify that your TradingView alert is active (not expired). Free TradingView accounts have a limit on simultaneous alerts. Ensure your notification method (push, email, webhook) is properly configured in TradingView's alert settings.
Does Quantum Algo work on all markets? Yes โ crypto, forex, stocks, commodities, indices, and any asset available on TradingView.
Can I run it on multiple charts simultaneously? Yes, but TradingView's free plan limits the number of indicators per chart. A Pro plan removes this limitation.
How often is the algorithm updated? We release algorithm improvements periodically. Updates are applied automatically โ no action required on your end.
Where can I get support? Matrix plans receive standard email support. Atlas plans receive priority email support. Zeno plans include a dedicated Slack channel and 1-on-1 onboarding.
