DarkFutures — Where / How / When


DarkFutures is a multi-timeframe trend participation indicator designed to identify structured pullback entries within directional markets.

Signals appear only when higher-timeframe bias, market structure, and execution conditions align — favoring continuation over prediction.



Green indicates alignment with trend.

Red indicates directional pressure.

When all layers agree, continuation is statistically more likely than reversal.

Framework


WHERE — Higher Timeframe Bias

Uses the 4H VWAP (or EMA) to define the dominant directional environment.



HOW — Structural Trend

Applies a 30-minute EMA to confirm the market is trending rather than rotating.



WHEN — Execution Trigger

Waits for a controlled pullback, momentum support, VWAP alignment, and an EMA reclaim to signal potential continuation.



The model is intentionally selective and performs best in orderly, trending conditions.

BUY / SELL Labels

Signals print only when WHERE, HOW, and execution criteria align, indicating a potential pullback continuation within trend.

//Adjust settings for the Pullback from deafult 0.15 upwards to widen the buy/sell signal criteria. This will give more signals, however this will cause the signals to fire on not really pullbacks, it might fire after the price has already extended, so be wise.

//Lower the bar cooldown to 2-3 for 15min timeframe to avoid fake signals causing the real move to not appear.

Design Principle


This is a participation tool — not a reversal indicator.



It is built to:

Reduce impulsive entries

Avoid chasing extended moves

Prioritize structural alignment

Support disciplined execution



Signals should be used as decision support within a risk-managed trading plan.
