8,075 engine events logged live — armed, sweep, structure shift and signal, each written on the closed bar before its outcome exists

Trade ideas you can audit. Not screenshots.

ArdenAlgo runs a deterministic ICT/SMC engine on crypto perpetual futures and writes every signal to a public ledger — entries, stops, targets, costs and outcomes. Losses included. Signals recorded before results exist; nothing ever deleted.

What's under the hood

An engine built like research software,
not like a sales page.

Deterministic engine

Same data in, same output out — every detection is reproducible and testable. No discretionary "confluence" hand-waving.

No repaint, by design

Everything is evaluated on closed bars; swing pivots confirm with a delay on purpose. A signal that exists never un-exists.

Liquidity map

Prior day/week highs & lows and clustered equal levels — the pools where stops actually rest — tracked per symbol, per session.

Sweep → MSS confirmation

A wick-take with a body close back, then a displacement-validated structure shift, then an FVG retest. Only the full sequence fires.

Costs modeled, always

Taker fees, slippage and funding are baked into every net figure on the ledger. Gross-only results are how this industry lies politely.

Verdict published either way

The engine is in a pre-registered live evaluation with frozen thresholds. Pass or fail, the verdict goes on this site.

The concepts — defined, not vibed

Every definition is published.
Audit the logic, not just the results.

"Smart money concepts" tools usually hide behind vague language. Ours are exact — the same thresholds the engine runs are printed below and documented in full in the methodology.

Liquidity map

Where stops actually rest: prior day/week highs & lows and clustered equal highs/lows. The engine hunts reactions at these pools — not arbitrary support/resistance.

Equal-level cluster tolerance: 0.25 × ATR(14)

Liquidity sweep

A wick trades through a mapped level but the body closes back on the original side — stops taken, move rejected. A body close beyond is a run, not a sweep, and is ignored.

Wick-take ∧ body-close-back, on the closed bar only

Market structure shift

After the sweep, the last opposing swing must break — by body close, inside a leg showing real displacement. That's the confirmation that the rejection has teeth.

Break by body ∧ displacement ≥ 1.5× avg body (20 bars)

Fair value gap

The three-candle inefficiency left behind by displacement. The entry is the last FVG of the confirming leg, taken on the retest — not on the breakout candle.

Tracked until ~50% filled; entry = retest of the leg's last FVG

Order block

The final opposite candle before a displacement leg that also created an FVG — the footprint of the move's origin. Zones must be untapped and on the correct side of the range.

OB = last opposite candle before displacement + FVG leg

Premium / discount

The H4 dealing range is split at its midpoint: longs are only hunted from discount, shorts only from premium. No bias, no trade — the engine simply waits.

Bias = H4 structure ∧ range position ∧ untapped liquidity ahead

All 16 concept pages — including six popular ideas this engine deliberately does not compute, and why →

Thirty seconds

Watch one call, start to finish.

A real setup the engine flagged before the outcome was known, and what happened next. Every number in the video comes straight from the ledger below — you can open it and check the same trade.

The pipeline

Three timeframes. One strict sequence.

A higher timeframe sets the bias, the one below it supplies the zone, the lowest runs the confirmation state machine. No stage can be skipped, every stage has a timeout — the diagram below is the whole story.

The same sequence now runs at three scales Intraday reads 4h → 1h → 15m, swing reads daily → 4h → 1h, position reads weekly → daily → 4h. Not three strategies — one rule set, read at three resolutions. No threshold changes between them, which is exactly why they can share a methodology page. Added 28 Jul 2026; only the intraday scale carries the pre-registered evaluation, and the ledger keeps each scale's record separate.

State 1

Armed

H4 bias set, H1 zone touched. The engine starts watching — and only now can a sweep mean anything.

State 2

Swept

Wick through a mapped level, body closes back. The clock starts: 16 bars for structure to answer.

State 3

Confirmed

Last opposing swing breaks by body, with displacement and an FVG in the leg. 32 bars for the retest.

State 4

Signal

Price retests the leg's last FVG. The full plan — entry, stop, target, R:R — hits Telegram and the ledger at once.

What lands in your pocket

An alert you can hold accountable.

Every alert carries the full trade plan — entry zone, invalidation, liquidity target and risk:reward — and every alert is simultaneously written to the public ledger. You can check any alert you ever received against the permanent record. That's the accountability loop no screenshot can fake.

ArdenAlgo indicator on a TradingView chart: liquidity levels, sweep and MSS marks, FVG and OB zones

Our free TradingView indicator visualizes the engine's building blocks with matching definitions: the liquidity map, sweeps, displacement MSS marks, FVG/OB zones and an H4 bias panel — plus six alert conditions.

  • ✓ Free — published under the ArdenAlgo TradingView account as a protected-source script
  • ✓ Closed-bar logic — drawings and alerts do not repaint
  • ✓ Every definition documented in the methodology write-up

Screenshots on this site are the actual v1.2 build on live charts — not mockups.

Two free companion scripts (same definitions, same closed-bar rule): a multi-symbol scanner ↗ that tables up to 18 markets by which conditions printed on the last closed bar, and a session & volatility context panel ↗ that tallies FVG fill and sweep follow-through per session block × volatility tercile — on your chart, with the sample size next to every number. Neither states a result.

Under the surface

Runs like infrastructure.
Not like a hobby bot.

Signal quality is an open question until the evaluation answers it — engineering quality isn't. This is the part we can already prove.

24/7 supervised services

The engine, notifier and site run as supervised system services with automatic restart — not a script in someone's terminal.

Heartbeat watchdogs

Every component emits heartbeats; if the engine goes quiet, this site flags itself STALE within 30 minutes. The status you see is the status there is.

Append-only, hash-chained

Signal events cannot be updated or deleted — the database refuses it, and every row is hash-chained to the one before. The outcome is attached to its row once, when it becomes known. The site reads all of it with read-only access.

Deterministic replay

Detection replays in the automated test suite on every change — same bars in, same events out, or the suite fails.

One cost model, versioned

Fees, slippage and funding come from a single versioned model reused across our research — never tuned per marketing page.

404 automated tests

Detection, accounting, the ledger API and this very site ship behind a green test suite. The number is not a slogan: a test asserts it matches the suite exactly, so it cannot quietly go stale.

The gauntlet

Four gates stand between this engine
and your money. On purpose.

Most tools in this niche ship claims first and evidence never. We run it in reverse: a pre-registered gate ladder, thresholds frozen before data arrived, every verdict published. Nothing is sold as more than a scanner until the ladder says otherwise.

G1

Detection integrity PASSED · 16 JUL 2026

Determinism tests plus a bar-by-bar cross-check against TradingView chart data — the engine sees exactly what a human sees, and the same input always yields the same output.

G2

Live edge evaluation RUNNING NOW

Every signal trades on paper, in public. When the sample completes — 60 closed trades, or 42 days with at least 30 — the pooled result is tested against a random-entry benchmark with all costs modeled. Thresholds were frozen before any data arrived. We publish the verdict either way.

G3

Conditioning IF NEEDED

Only if the pooled result warrants it: per-hour and per-symbol analysis under split-half validation — never cherry-picked cells.

G4

Forward confirmation AFTER G2

Four more weeks of live forward records after the evaluation, required to stay positive net of costs before anything is sold as more than a scanner.

The engine's pooled result must clear the random-entry distribution worse ← pooled net result, costs included → better what random entries produce duration-matched · same symbols · same costs pass region clears the benchmark ? engine's result — wherever it lands, we publish it

Our commitments

The Accountability Charter.

Not values on a wall — testable commitments. Each one is verifiable on this site today, and each one stays binding after launch.

  1. The ledger is append-only. Every signal is recorded before its outcome exists, and the database itself refuses to update or delete it. The outcome is written onto that same row once, when it becomes known. Nothing is ever deleted — losses stay on the page forever.
  2. Every number is net. Fees, slippage and funding are modeled into every result we quote, anywhere.
  3. The verdict gets published either way. Pass or fail, the pre-registered evaluation's result goes here, prominently.
  4. No dark patterns, ever. No fake counts, no countdown timers, no paid reviews, no hidden auto-renew.
  5. Cancellation is self-serve. Cancelling never requires talking to anyone — and a reminder e-mail lands before any renewal charges you. In writing, pre-launch, on the billing promise page.
  6. The method is versioned. Any change to the mechanization is a new, dated version — results are never silently pooled across versions. See the changelog.
Access

Two plans. The exact launch price, published early.

Every plan runs on the same engine and reads the same ledger — Pro buys delivery speed and detail, not better signals. The rates below are exact, not a teaser: we publish them before checkout even exists, because the waitlist locks this rate and a locked rate you haven't seen isn't a promise. If they change before launch, that change gets a dated changelog entry like everything else here.

What the labels mean: nothing on the Pro card works today. BUILT · NOT DEPLOYED = the code exists and passes its tests, but the service is deliberately switched off (the subscriber bot and the TradingView indicator are in this state). PLANNED FOR LAUNCH = not built yet — there is no checkout, no payment provider and no e-mail infrastructure today. We label the difference rather than hide it, because a plan card that reads like a live product is the first small lie a company tells. The commitments beside them are already published, so you can hold us to them when the switch is flipped.
The founding rate, with the number in it: join from the waitlist and $24/mo (or $199/yr) is the rate you keep for as long as your subscription runs without a break — later increases apply to new subscribers only. Cancel and return later and you rejoin at whatever the rate is then. We deliberately do not call this "lifetime": costs here scale with usage, and a forever-price would be a promise we could not be certain of keeping. The commitment, in writing →

Billing, honestly: subscriptions auto-renew — monthly plans each month, the annual plan once a year — and we e-mail you before any renewal charges you. Cancelling never requires talking to anyone, and both plans carry the same 30-day money-back on the first payment. Payments will be processed by an established merchant-of-record provider — named on the billing promise page before checkout opens. Prices are never hidden behind a sign-up.

The record you'd be buying into, as of this page load: 60 closed paper trades over 58 days, -2,132 net bps after modeled costs, 2 open — see every row →. This is a paper ledger and losses are part of it — no row has ever been removed, and the database refuses to remove one. If the record doesn't convince you, don't subscribe: the ledger stays free and open either way.
Where the money comes from: our only revenue is subscriptions. No broker or exchange affiliations, no deposit deals, no geo-priced coupons, no timed pop-ups. If that ever changes it will be announced in the changelog first.
What exactly am I paying for?

Speed and detail of delivery — nothing else. The signals are identical to the ones recorded on the free public ledger. Open gets them as a once-a-day digest covering BTC + ETH; Pro gets every market in real time, each alert carrying the full trade plan (entry zone, invalidation, target, R:R) and a link to its permanent ledger row. If the free ledger already tells you everything you need, don't subscribe — it stays free either way.

Why publish the exact price before checkout even exists?

Three reasons. The waitlist locks the launch rate, and a lock on an unpublished number would be meaningless. Deciding calmly beats deciding at a checkout page. And this category's habit of revealing prices only after sign-up is one of the patterns this site exists to not repeat. The band we published earlier said $19–29/mo — the final rate lands inside it, and the resolution is a dated changelog entry.

Why is there no bigger "Premium" or "Ultimate" tier?

Because there is one engine and one ledger, and every subscriber gets all of it. A second paid tier would have to hold something back from the first — or invent something new to gate. Vendors in this category commonly ladder two or three tiers into three-digit monthly prices; we sell delivery of one thing and price it once.

Monthly or annual — how should I choose?

The product is identical on both; only the bill changes. Annual is $199 charged once a year — 31% less than twelve monthly payments — and monthly keeps your commitment at one month. Both carry the 30-day money-back on the first payment, and joining from the waitlist locks whichever rate you start on. Honest default: start monthly, judge the service against its own ledger, switch if it earns it.

What happens if the evaluation verdict is a fail?

The verdict is published either way, prominently. On a fail, the product remains what it demonstrably is — a deterministic scanner with an honest, append-only ledger — and is priced and described as exactly that. You'll never see a fail buried or spun.

Who processes the payment, and what about VAT?

An established merchant-of-record provider (named before checkout opens) handles payment, invoices and VAT — we never see or store card numbers. Details live on the billing promise and privacy pages.

Fit check

Built for auditors, not signal-chasers.

ArdenAlgo is for you if…

  • You want to see full records — losses included — before paying anyone a cent
  • You'd rather have three qualified setups than thirty pings a day
  • You care what a signal costs to trade, not just where price went
  • You read methodology pages. (You're the reason we wrote one.)

…and probably not if

  • You're looking for guaranteed returns — nobody honest sells those
  • You want someone to trade your account for you (we never touch funds or keys)
  • You need constant action — this engine goes quiet when conditions are mediocre
  • Screenshots convince you more than databases do
Questions

Asked and answered — straight.

Do the signals repaint?

No. Everything is computed on closed bars; swing pivots confirm with a deliberate delay. A drawing or alert, once printed, never changes. This is a design constraint of the engine, not a marketing claim — the methodology page documents exactly how.

Will this make me money?

We don't know, and we won't pretend to. That is precisely why the ledger is public and the evaluation is pre-registered: judge the evidence yourself. Nothing on this site is financial advice, and past results — paper or real — do not predict future returns.

What is the ledger, exactly?

A live database of every signal the engine produces: entry zone, invalidation, target, timestamps, modeled costs and the outcome. Rows are written before the result is known and are never edited or removed — including the losses.

What happens if the evaluation fails?

We publish the verdict either way. If the engine can't beat a random-entry benchmark after costs, that goes on this site and the product stays a scanning/education tool — clearly labeled as such.

Which markets are covered?

Crypto USDT-M perpetual futures — currently a fixed universe of liquid majors tracked 24/7. The exact list is on the ledger page.

How is this different from other "algo" tools?

Mechanically, we use published, deterministic definitions instead of proprietary "AI confluence". Commercially, we show a full audited ledger instead of testimonials and win-rate screenshots — and we test against a null benchmark before selling signal quality.

Is ArdenAlgo affiliated with "ICT" (Michael Huddleston)?

No. "ICT" and "Inner Circle Trader" refer to concepts popularized by Michael J. Huddleston. ArdenAlgo is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to him in any way — we mechanize a documented interpretation of these public-domain concepts.

How do I cancel?

Yourself, from your account page, at any time — no support chat, no phone call — and we e-mail you before any renewal. Renewal friction is endemic in this category; refusing it is written policy here: the billing promise.

Where does the market data come from?

Exchange-based OHLCV for USDT-M perpetual futures — crypto plus gold and silver — consumed on closed bars at whichever timeframe the scale runs on. The engine is provider-agnostic by design; the licensed data provider for the paid product will be named here and in the methodology before launch, with a changelog entry.

Does ArdenAlgo place trades for me?

No. Nothing here connects to your exchange account, holds funds, or executes orders. Alerts are information; every decision — and every key — stays with you.

What does "net bps" mean on the ledger?

Result in basis points (1 bp = 0.01%) after modeled taker fees, slippage and funding — the costs most services quietly ignore. "Gross" is the raw move; "net" is what surviving those costs would have left.

Why is the sample still small?

Because the engine is selective by construction: one full sweep→MSS→retest sequence per signal, with cooldowns. We'd rather show you a small honest sample than pad it with noise — and the small-sample label stays on until N ≥ 30.
