How to use RegimeMeter
RegimeMeter tells you what kind of market you're in — not what to do. Here's how to read it.
The 4 regimes
In plain language
The market is moving up with strength. Buyers are in control.
Signal means
Directional momentum is building or confirmed.
Common observation
Traders sometimes enter late in strong uptrends after significant gains have occurred. Strength confirmation can help identify sustainable moves.
In plain language
The market is moving down with strength. Sellers are in control.
Signal means
Downward momentum is building or confirmed.
Common observation
Downtrends can experience sharp upside reversals. Understanding trend strength and potential reversal zones is part of risk management.
In plain language
The market has no strong direction. Price is bouncing around an average.
Signal means
Low momentum — trend strategies tend to underperform here.
Common observation
Range-bound conditions require identifying support and resistance levels. Price oscillates between these zones rather than trending directionally.
In plain language
No clear direction. High noise, low signal.
Signal means
The market is undecided.
The most common observation: many traders reduce activity in Chop to preserve capital.
Common observation
High-noise, low-signal conditions often lead to false breakouts and whipsaws. Reducing position frequency can preserve capital in choppy markets.
Multi-timeframe view PRO
Pro users see regimes across 3 timeframes simultaneously:
- 15min — Short-term moves, intraday context
- 1h — Medium-term trend, session context
- 4h — Longer-term direction, daily/weekly context
Confluence detection
When all 3 timeframes agree on direction, RegimeMeter shows ✅ BULL CONVICTION or 🔴 BEAR CONVICTION — the strongest, highest-confidence setups. When only some timeframes align, it shows ⚠️ MIXED — Wait. The top "Market Overview" bar gives a global picture across all 3 assets at once.
What does the strength mean?
Each regime comes with a strength level based on ADX distance from the threshold.
The regime is just forming or weak. Early signal — not yet confirmed. More likely to reverse.
The regime is confirmed and active. ADX between 25–40.
Strong, established regime. ADX above 40 — high conviction market.
How confirmation works: RegimeMeter confirms a regime after 2 consecutive candles. This avoids false signals from single candle spikes.
How to read the dashboard
- 1
Check the Market Overview bar — The top sticky bar shows the dominant 15-min regime across all assets (15-min snapshot), confluence count, and per-asset regime pills across all 3 timeframes.
- 2
Read the regime for each asset — Each card shows the primary regime (15M) with a large label and arrow (↑ Bull, ↓ Bear, ↔ MR, ~ Chop).
- 3
Check the strength bar — The thin bar next to the regime shows signal strength. Short bar = WEAK (early signal), medium = MEDIUM (confirmed), full bar = STRONG (high conviction).
- 4
Look at the confluence indicator (Pro) — Below the primary regime, check if all timeframes agree: ✅ BULL CONVICTION, 🔴 BEAR CONVICTION, or ⚠️ MIXED — Wait.
- 5
Compare timeframes (Pro) — The 1H and 4H rows below show the regime on higher timeframes. 15M Bear + 4H Bull = pullback in uptrend. All aligned = high conviction.
- 6
Check stability — "Stable 45+ min" means the regime has held. "Flipped 15m ago" means it just changed.
- 7
Read the market context — A short summary at the bottom of each card describes current conditions combining regime + confluence.
- 8
Enable Telegram alerts (Pro) — Get notified on regime flips, confluence changes, and high-priority alerts when all timeframes align.
What RegimeMeter does NOT do
RegimeMeter does not tell you when to enter or exit a trade.
It does not predict price direction.
It describes the current market environment based on ADX and EMA indicators.
How you use this information is your decision.
FAQ
How often does it update?
Every 15 minutes, using confirmed 15-minute Binance candles.
Why 2 candle confirmation?
To filter out false signals from single candle spikes.
What is ADX?
ADX (Average Directional Index) measures trend strength — not direction. Above 25 = trending market. Below 20 = low momentum.
What is EMA?
EMA (Exponential Moving Average) shows the direction of the trend. EMA 20 above EMA 50 = bullish bias. EMA 20 below EMA 50 = bearish bias.
Why might my chart look different from TradingView?
RegimeMeter uses EMA20/EMA50 crossover to determine trend direction. TradingView displays DI+/DI- lines. Both are valid approaches — minor direction divergences can occur near regime transitions.
