About the tools & the research

Will these indicators tell me which way price is going next?
No — and unlike most sellers, we tested our own products to check. Across three futures markets, neither fading sweeps nor trading breaks of these levels earned returns distinguishable from zero at 5–60 minute horizons. What the tools do reliably: draw and classify structure (ranges, pools, sweeps, opening ranges) the same way live as in history, and tell you honestly what kind of market you're standing in. Source: validation study, waves 1–2, ES/NQ/ZB.
Do these concepts work the same on every timeframe?
No. The "market goes quiet after a level resolves" effect was strong on 1-minute charts (0.79× normal movement), fading at 5 minutes (0.91×), and gone at 15 (1.01×). We scope every claim to the timeframe where the data supports it — which is why product pages say "1-minute" where they say it. Source: attention test, ES 1m/5m/15m.
Is the CVD reading real order flow?
It's an estimate, and it's labeled as one. The method matched true buy/sell records with 0.70 correlation and 74% direction agreement across 57,006 minutes of NQ trades. Useful context; wrong to call it "institutional order flow," so we don't. Source: proxy-vs-true delta benchmark.
Why do some products say "validation queued"?
Because they haven't been through the harness yet, and pretending otherwise would defeat the point. Liquidation Cascade, the HVN/LVN tool, and the Chop Regime Detector are engineering-hardened and sell on what they demonstrably do (detection, alerting, structure) — not on tested behavioral claims. When their studies run, the results get published here either way. Every queued product’s harness run is scheduled — results publish either way.
Why should I trust an indicator seller's own study?
Because of what's in it: six of our own claims disproven, published, and removed from this site's copy. Pass/fail rules were written before results were seen, and the methodology is described so anyone with the same exchange data can re-run it. A study that only found good news would deserve your skepticism. Read the full study →

Access, billing & practicalities

How does TradingView access work after I subscribe?
You submit your exact TradingView username at checkout. We verify the order and grant invite-only access manually — the script then appears under Invite-Only Scripts in your TradingView indicators dialog. Most activations complete within hours; a username typo is the most common cause of delay, so copy it straight from your TradingView profile. Full walkthrough: Access & activation.
Do I need a paid TradingView plan?
A free TradingView account works for the indicators themselves. A paid TradingView plan helps if you want more indicators on one chart, second-based intervals, or more simultaneous alerts — but it isn't required to use Cascade tools.
What's the refund policy?
Monthly plans: full refund within 7 days of first purchase, no questions asked. Annual plans: 14 days. Cancel anytime and keep access through the end of the paid period. Full policy.
What markets do the tools cover?
Anything TradingView charts with usable data: index futures, stocks and ETFs, forex, crypto — and for EQH/EQL specifically, coarse-grid instruments like Treasury futures are explicitly supported (the tolerance engine was tested on ZB's 32nds). Session-based tools auto-resolve the 9:30 New York open per symbol.
What are the founder terms?
The first 50 subscribers to any plan lock their rate for as long as the subscription stays active, get a private Discord channel with the developer, and vote on the roadmap. The counter is real; when it's done, it's done — no fake scarcity resets. Details: pricing.
