Understanding Strategy Signals
MagTicker uses a multi-indicator scoring engine to classify each stock's strategy state at every market snapshot.
The Signal column shows the directional bias. The Status column shows where the current price sits relative to the calculated strategy levels. The EMA column shows whether the price is above or below the 21-period EMA.
Bearish bias - EMA stack aligned downward, trend confirmed
Neutral -
Mixed or weak signals - no high-confidence directional trade
Status
At Entry
Price is within 0.5% of the calculated entry level - prime setup zone
Near Entry
Price is within 3% of entry - approaching the setup
Wait
Price has not reached the entry level yet - monitor only
Missed TP1-3
Price has moved beyond one or more take profit targets
EMA
Bull
Price is trading above the EMA 21 - bullish bias confirmed
Bear
Price is trading below the EMA 21 - bearish structure
The HUD uses compact labels where space is tight - Entry means At Entry; MTP1, MTP2, and MTP3 mean Missed TP1-3.

📊
Volume Histogram
A colour-coded volume chart sits below the price chart. Green bars indicate up-volume, red bars indicate down-volume. Volume spikes are highlighted.
🎯
Risk Levels Matrix
A table below the chart shows the exact Entry, Stop Loss, TP1, TP2, and TP3 price levels alongside their distance from the current price and risk-to-reward ratio.
Risk Levels & R:R Ratios
Every snapshot calculates a complete risk matrix - so you know exactly where to enter, where to exit, and what the reward is for the risk taken.
Level
Calculation
Default R:R
Entry
EMA 21 adjusted by ATR proximity filter
Reference
Stop Loss
Entry - (1.5 × ATR)
-
TP1
Entry + (1.0 × ATR × TP1 multiplier)
1.0:1
TP2
Entry + (2.0 × ATR × TP2 multiplier)
2.0:1
TP3
Entry + (3.0 × ATR × TP3 multiplier)
3.0:1
ATR (Average True Range) is computed using a 14-period simple moving average of the true range - matching the Pine Script f_atr formula. The vs Now column shows the percentage distance from the current price so you can immediately see how far away each level is.
Technical Indicators
MagTicker computes a full suite of indicators on-device using the same mathematical logic as Pine Script v5/v6.
📉
EMA Stack (8/21/55/200)
Four exponential moving averages define the trend structure. When all four align (8 > 21 > 55 > 200), the EMA stack is fully bullish.
🌀
Bollinger Bands
20-period bands with 2σ width. A SQUEEZE state is detected when band width falls below 70% of a 50-period average - signalling a potential breakout.
⚡
RSI (14)
Wilder's 14-period RSI with overbought (70) and oversold (30) levels. RSI filters confirm or block signal direction. Intraday alerts fire at extreme crossings.
📏
ADX (14)
Average Directional Index with +DI / -DI. ADX ≥ 20 confirms a trend is present. ADX ≥ 30 indicates a strong trend. Weak ADX suppresses directional signals.
🔃
StochRSI (14/14/3/3)
Stochastic applied to RSI values. %K and %D lines with overbought (80) and oversold (20) levels. Used for both signal scoring and intraday alerts.
📌
MACD (12/26/9)
Classic MACD with fast EMA 12, slow EMA 26, and signal line EMA 9. Histogram shows momentum direction and is factored into the overall strategy score.
💹
VWAP & Fibonacci
20-period rolling VWAP proxy. Fibonacci retracement levels (38.2%, 50%, 61.8%) and extensions computed from the 20-bar swing high and low.
📈
ATR & Volume
14-period SMA-based ATR for stop and target calculation. Volume vs 20-period average ratio with spike detection (≥2×). Volume context fed into the scoring engine.
Automated Market Notifications
MagTicker schedules five analysis snapshots per trading day aligned to key market moments - all as local notifications, with no remote push server.
14:00 UK
Pre-Market
Morning analysis before the US market opens. Sets the directional bias for the day using overnight data.
14:35 UK
Market Open
First 30-minute confirmation snapshot. Captures the opening move and updates entry levels for the session.
17:30 UK
Mid-Session
Midday check-in as US mid-morning momentum develops. Re-evaluates status for all 7 symbols.
21:05 UK
Market Close
End-of-day snapshot with final prices, updated stop levels, and a daily score for each symbol.
Fri 21:30 UK
Weekly
Friday close summary across all 7 stocks. Weekly candle data used for higher-timeframe bias confirmation.
In addition to scheduled snapshots, intraday alerts fire when RSI crosses overbought/oversold levels, StochRSI extremes are reached, or Bollinger Bands enter a SQUEEZE state. Each condition has a per-session cooldown to prevent notification flooding. The latest alerts also appear on the Dashboard in the Recent Alerts card.
