Quick translations for the ChartMystic, TradingView, and market-structure terms used throughout the docs.
Alert
A TradingView notification triggered when a condition is met. Alerts can notify you through the app, email, popups, or webhooks depending on your TradingView setup.
Alert Condition
A Pine Script condition that TradingView can use when creating an alert. Atlas Pro includes confirmed-signal alert conditions.
Anchored VWAP
Volume-weighted average price anchored to a specific bar. Atlas Pro uses anchored VWAP internally as a value-area reference; it is not exposed as a chart overlay.
Atlas Pro Oscillator
The Atlas Pro pane that shows directional pressure and buildup over time on a signed −100 to +100 scale.
Auction Acceptance Score
Atlas Pro's acceptance stage. It measures whether the market is honoring a trigger after it fires. Acceptance states (Pending / Rejected / Weak / Building / Strong) appear in the Dashboard and gate confirmed-signal output.
Bar Close
The moment a candle finishes forming. Closed-bar logic is more stable than intrabar logic because the candle's open, high, low, and close are final.
BOS
Break of Structure. A break of a prior swing high (bullish BOS) or swing low (bearish BOS) in the direction of the active move. Atlas Pro distinguishes external structure (broader swing) from internal structure (more local).
CHoCH
Change of Character. A break of a structural level in a way that may suggest the prior character of the move is changing. Atlas Pro distinguishes external CHoCH from internal CHoCH.
Confidence
Atlas Pro's percentage read of how strongly current evidence supports the published direction. Surfaces in the Live Bias Marker as Bullish XX% or Bearish XX%.
Confirmed Signal
An Atlas Pro marker created after a candle closes and the confirmation rules clear. Anchored permanently to its signal bar.
Current Directional Read
Atlas Pro's live interpretation of the current chart state. It can update while the current candle forms and is published by the Live Bias Marker.
Dashboard
The Atlas Pro information panel that summarizes current read, confidence, trigger, acceptance, and optional deeper context. Available in Compact, Default, and Expanded modes.
Fair Value Gap
A price imbalance created by fast movement. Atlas Pro can display FVG context as an optional overlay.
Footprint
Detailed volume information that can separate buy-side and sell-side activity when supported by TradingView. Atlas Pro can use footprint data as an optional refinement through Footprint Precision Mode.
Higher Timeframe
A timeframe above the chart timeframe. For example, if you are viewing a 15m chart, 1h and 4h are higher timeframes.
Invalidation Line
The Atlas Pro level that challenges the active setup thesis. Paired with the Key Zone on every confirmed setup.
Key Zone
The important support or resistance area Atlas Pro is referencing for the active setup. Paired with the Invalidation Line on every confirmed setup.
Liquidity
Market interest around levels where orders may be resting. Atlas Pro can display liquidity context as an optional overlay.
Live Bias Marker
The realtime Atlas Pro label near current price that prints the current directional read and confidence as Bullish XX% or Bearish XX%. Always one object near current price; updates intrabar by design.
Multi-Timeframe Dashboard
Atlas Pro panel that shows selected timeframe reads in one place so you can scan alignment across timeframes. Often abbreviated as the MTF Dashboard in prose.
Order Block
A structural zone associated with meaningful supply or demand context. Atlas Pro can show order blocks as an optional overlay.
Pine Editor
TradingView's code editor for creating and editing Pine Script.
Pine Screener
TradingView's scanning tool that can apply Pine scripts across lists of symbols. Atlas Pro exposes Atlas Pro Bias and Atlas Pro Setup Ready as screener outputs.
Pine Script
TradingView's scripting language for indicators, strategies, and libraries.
Premium / Discount
Range-position context. Premium refers to the upper part of a range, discount refers to the lower part, and equilibrium refers to the middle area.
Repainting
When a script changes historical output after new data appears. Atlas Pro is explicitly designed against repaint: the Live Bias Marker updates intrabar by design, but Confirmed Signals anchor to their signal bar and historical backfill uses closed-bar release logic.
Signal History
The Atlas Pro setting that controls how much historical signal output appears on the chart: All, Current Session, or Off.
Signal Mode
The Atlas Pro setting that controls confirmed signal selectivity: Aggressive, Balanced, or Conservative.
Strategy Tester
TradingView's tool for reviewing historical performance of Pine Script strategies.
TradingView
The charting platform where Atlas Pro runs and where Scribe Studio scripts are pasted, compiled, and tested.
Webhook
A URL that receives alert data from TradingView. Webhooks are often used to connect alerts to external tools or automation platforms.
