ChopGuard

Nine factors. One score. No trading in chop.

ChopGuard rates every bar on a weighted 0–10 score built from nine factors and turns that score into a graded signal ladder: early-alert circles from 6, full entry arrows at 8 or better with a complete trade scheme, then continuation, warning and exit markers that manage the idea after entry. It was built specifically for all-time-high conditions, where breakout-chasing tools get chewed up — longs only on pullbacks, a strong-close filter, a hard overextension block, and a bias that makes shorts earn extra. A live corner HUD shows the current score, bias and any active blockers, so you can see why a bar didn’t fire, not just that it didn’t.

In a chop regime (low ADX) ChopGuard goes quiet on purpose. The score is the read; the arrow is the trigger.
Features

What's Inside

Nine-Factor Weighted Score

EMA stack, dual momentum, volume, VWAP, RSI, MACD, market structure and POC combine every bar — fully exposed in the HUD.

Graded Signal Ladder

Alert → entry → continuation → warning → exit, so the tool manages the whole idea, not just the trigger.

Pullback-Only Longs

A long needs price to have dipped from the recent high first — no buying fresh breakout highs.

Strong-Close & Overextension Filters

The signal bar must close in the top or bottom quarter of its range, and no entries when price is stretched far from VWAP.

Live Corner HUD

Score, bias, active blockers and rolling history — when a bar doesn’t fire, the HUD names the filter that stopped it.

Complete Trade Scheme

Every entry arrow carries an entry line, buffered stop and three targets at 1:1 / 1:2 / 1:3.

How It Works

Score, Filter, Grade

1 · Score Every Bar

Nine weighted factors build a 0–10 read; ADX below the chop level suppresses everything — that’s the guard in the name.

2 · Quality Filters

Pullback-only, strong-close, VWAP overextension, long-bias and momentum-acceleration gates all run before any arrow prints.

3 · Graded Ladder

Early circles at 6, entry arrows at 8+ with quality stars, then continuation, warning and exit markers.

4 · Read the Blocker

The HUD’s blocker line names which filter refused a signal, so a quiet bar is explained, not mysterious.

Risk disclosure: Futures trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Performance disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of the financial risk of actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
