Compass guides

Direct answers about the TradingView indicator, colors, access, and what Compass does not do.

What is Stoic Edge Compass?

See directional and caution dots, Trend Ribbon, 200 EMA, Momentum Candles and key levels in one invite-only TradingView indicator.

Does Compass give buy or sell signals?

No. Compass publishes chart context. It does not place entries, stops, targets, or position size.

How to read Green, Red, and Yellow on Compass

Read directional dots, yellow range and momentum warnings, and the color-changing 200 EMA alongside your own setup and risk plan.

How to add an invite-only TradingView indicator

Add Compass after your manual invite arrives, set up the updated display, and recreate alerts when upgrading an existing chart.
