Core intelligence
First Light Beacon
The anchor of the FLB ecosystem. Dynamic Buy, Mid, and Sell lines turn the auction into a readable value map, while Beacon rejections and the mean line help time the response.
Market structure
Asset Stack
Projects related-asset value zones onto the active chart so you can see whether broader market structure supports the trade in front of you.
Signals & momentum
Cascade
Brings initial balance, dynamic value, end caps, triggers, regime, and grading into one structured sequence.
Market structure
Decision Levels
Maps high-interest reaction zones so trade location is planned in advance instead of improvised after price accelerates.
Signals & momentum
EdgePulse
Pairs a primary pressure read with cross-market companion channels to expose divergence, alignment, and higher-tier momentum events.
Signals & momentum
First Flat
Detects the first directional no-wick candle after a shift, separating early warnings from confirmed momentum triggers.
Market structure
Fixed Profile
Builds a focused volume profile around a chosen range, revealing value area, point of control, and high- or low-volume nodes.
Execution & risk
HeartBeat
Monitors NinjaTrader, strategy state, connections, and automation readiness from the machine doing the work.
Market structure
Institutional Ladder
Organizes institutional reference levels across profiles and instruments to make targets, stops, and invalidation easier to plan.
Market structure
Key Levels
Collects institutional and session references into a clean, labeled map with visibility and merge controls.
Order flow
Large Order Dots
Marks large-order activity directly on the chart, helping distinguish isolated prints from repeated, structurally meaningful participation.
Signals & momentum
PullBackPro
Uses an adaptive T3 baseline and directional triangles to identify pullbacks that fail back in the direction of the active trend.
Order flow
RealFlow
Translates order-flow behavior into its own flow line and zone, then highlights rejection and agreement with price structure.
Signals & momentum
Surge
Layers momentum, structure, strictness, and session logic to grade directional expansion and expose a full Surge event.
Execution & risk
Trade Pilot
Connects risk-based sizing, draggable brackets, target ladders, trailing logic, and a practical risk dashboard.
Execution & risk
Trade Shield
Governs daily loss, tilt, directional bias, caps, automation, and prop-account constraints before risk reaches the market.
Signals & momentum
Trend Shift
Separates an early Edge Shift from higher-timeframe breakout confirmation, with Dual Agreement as the flagship transition setup.
