A 27-criteria composite scoring engine that evaluates market conditions across momentum, structure, session context, gamma levels, CVD, volume, and cross-instrument factors — producing a single directional score for NQ and ES futures on each bar update.

AlphaFlowNQ evaluates each bar against 27 discrete analytical criteria drawn from momentum, price structure, session context, round-number HTF levels, CVD trend confirmation, swing breakout, range expansion, and optional cross-instrument divergence inputs. The criteria scores aggregate into a single composite directional reading updated on each bar.
The indicator automatically detects the chart instrument at load time — NQ, MNQ, ES, or MES — and adjusts all internal parameters accordingly: tick-based tolerances, round-number increment scaling, contract sizing labels, and gamma level file selection. No manual instrument configuration is required when switching between chart types.
Gamma level integration reads an external JSON file produced by a companion Python script that fetches publicly available index options data. These levels are incorporated as scoring criteria when price is near significant gamma exposure zones.
When ORMomentumEdge is also active on the same NT8 instance, AlphaFlowNQ reads the ORMO session bias and signal state from the shared IndicatorBridge — incorporating macro session context into the scoring calculation without requiring both indicators to be on the same chart panel.
Important Notice: This indicator is a non-customized charting tool provided for educational and informational market analysis only. It highlights conditions that meet proprietary analytical criteria and does not constitute financial advice, trading recommendations, or a solicitation to buy or sell any instrument. All signal output is analytical in nature. Users remain solely responsible for whether, when, and how they trade. Past performance of any analytical method is not indicative of future results.
Common analytical applications of this tool in live futures session workflows.
Provides a quantified view of how many and which analytical criteria are aligning directionally on each bar, replacing subjective multi-factor checklist review.
When paired with ORMomentumEdge via IndicatorBridge, incorporates session bias and macro momentum context into the scoring calculation for cross-indicator confluence.
The Prime Setup detection layer surfaces conditions where the composite score reaches a high-conviction threshold with multiple high-weight criteria aligning simultaneously.
