PFX SLM.Structure you can see.
A change of character, a fair value gap, price coming back to it, and a candle closing back out. PFX SLM finds that setup on your own NinjaTrader 8 chart and draws the entry, stop and target.

Four steps.All four, or no signal.
Scroll through it. The chart follows you, one step at a time.
A change of character.
Price closes through the last swing. The trend has changed hands, and the model starts looking for a gap. Close or wick, and how big a swing counts, are your settings.
A fair value gap.
The move that broke structure leaves a three-candle gap. Too small or too large against the ATR and it's ignored, so news spikes don't arm a setup.
Price comes back.
The gap is armed. When price returns and reaches the entry level inside it, the setup is live. You choose where in the gap that level sits.
A candle closes back out.
Confirmation. The signal fires, an alert sounds, and the entry, stop and target are drawn. What you do next is your call: it never places an order.
The levels that matter.Switch them on.
Signals don't happen in a vacuum. PFX SLM marks the levels traders watch. Try it: turn each kind on and off.
Three layers.One glance.
A small panel on the chart tells you what the model is doing right now. Pick a layer to see what it shows.
Step away from the screen.It will tell you.
A NinjaTrader alert and sound on every signal, an early heads-up as price nears an armed entry, and, if you add your own bot, a message on your phone.

Make it yours.Or leave it alone.
Ten groups, in the same order as the indicator's dialog. These are the real defaults from the manual.
Candles either side of a high or low before it counts as a swing. Lower = more signals and more noise; higher = fewer, cleaner. Only matters while Require a ChoCH is on.
On = a candle must close beyond the swing to count as a break. Off = a wick is enough.
On = a gap only arms after a change of character. Off = every qualifying gap arms; expect far more signals.
How far back from the break to search for the three-candle gap.
Backup search after the break, in case the gap forms on the retest. Leave it alone.
Ignores gaps smaller than this fraction of the ATR.
On your chart.In three steps.

In testingGood to know.
Is it really free?
Yes. No trial, no lite version, no subscription. It's compiled so nobody can resell it. If it helps, you can send a coffee, but the tool is the same either way.
Does it place trades?
No. PFX SLM draws and alerts. It never places, changes or closes an order. Every decision is yours.
Which charts does it work on?
Minute bars (1, 3, 5, 15 minute and so on) with 10 to 20 days of history, so it has a full week for the weekly levels. It was built on micro futures: MGC, MNQ, MES, MCL and MYM.
Is it the same as the MT5 version?
The same model, built natively for NinjaTrader 8. The two are kept in step, so a setup reads the same way on both.
Can I see its results?
Not here. This page shows how it marks a chart, not how it performed. Test it on Sim or Playback and judge it on your own instruments.
