MATRIX SERIES Trading Guide

The Matrix Series is a highly complex oscillator suite that overlays multiple methodologies—including EMA matrices, Dynamic CCI Zones, and VIX Fix extreme variance—to find confluence in market tops and bottoms.

What does the indicator show?

• Matrix Candles: The core oscillator is formatted as miniature candles (open, close, high, low variations) fluctuating across a zero-line. Blue candles are bullish; red are bearish.
• Dynamic Zones (Support/Resistance): Smooth boundary lines representing dynamic support and resistance channels computed using Commodities Channel Index (CCI) standard deviations.
• Vix Fix Histogram: A grey background histogram estimating implied market volatility based on the synthetic VIX equation.
• Signals (FE, AE, FS, AS): Text markings identifying precise market state anomalies:
  • FE / AE: Filtered and Aggressive exhaustion pivots marking potential local bottoms.
  • FS / AS: Filtered and Aggressive exhaustion pivots marking potential local tops.

Key Settings

• Price Period & Smoother: Controls the lag and responsiveness of the internal matrix calculation.
• Toggle Signals/Zones/Vix: Allows you to visually hide elements of the indicator (like the FE/AS signals, CCI zones, or the background VIX block) to reduce clutter.
• Overbought / Oversold: Hard boundary thresholds for standard Matrix Buy/Sell trigger signals.

How to use Strategy Parameters (Condition Source)

Within the Strategy Tester module, you can leverage the data from this indicator to create powerful logical conditions for trade entries and exits.

1. Standard Matrix Crossovers

• Matrix Up / Matrix Down — The core smoothed oscillator values.
• Matrix Buy / Matrix Sell — Boolean triggers for when the matrix structurally reverses out of the defined overbought/oversold boundaries.

Strategy Example: Take a standard momentum trend entry when Matrix Buy is_true.

2. Exhaustion Signals (VIX Confluence)

• FE Signal / AE Signal — Bullish anomaly signals triggered by spikes in VIX indicating panic selling is exhausting.
• FS Signal / AS Signal — Bearish anomaly signals triggered by euphoric VIX dips.

Strategy Example: Attempt to catch falling knives during extreme market panic only when the math supports it: AE Signal is_true.
