We released a new update for the Black Tie Framework that focuses on improving control, filtering, and clarity in how setups are generated.

The objective of this release is simple: give traders more precision over when the indicator should operate and how strict it should be when validating entries, while keeping the core logic unchanged.

Below is a summary of what’s new, why it matters, and how you can use it.


1. Trading Window Filters

Until now, the Framework evaluated market structure continuously. With this update, you can constrain entries to specific trading windows without modifying anything else in your workflow.

You can now choose between three modes:

a) Session-Based Filtering

Use the sessions already defined inside the Framework (Tokyo, London, New York).
When enabled, trade boxes and alerts will appear only during the sessions you select.

All sessions are ON by default.

b) UTC Time-Range Filtering

If you prefer a more flexible approach, you can set a custom UTC time window.
Trade boxes and alerts will be drawn only within this range.

This is useful if you trade a very specific intraday window or if you want a consistent schedule across assets.

c) Filtering Off

If you prefer the previous behaviour, simply leave the Trading Window Filter disabled.


2. New Advanced Settings

We added a set of advanced controls to refine trade detection. These settings do not change the core logic — they add optional restrictions for traders who want stricter setups or cleaner charts.

Liquidity Buffer (%)

Allows you to add a buffer above/below short-term liquidity levels.
Useful for adjusting how tight or loose your SL sits relative to nearby liquidity.

Show Only Bias Trades (ON by default)

Filters out entries that go against the higher-timeframe bias.
This keeps the chart focused only on signals aligned with the dominant direction.

Draw Only First Entry

Prevents the indicator from drawing multiple consecutive signals when they occur too close together.
Helpful to avoid chart clutter during periods of noise or rapid price movements.

Use Protected SL

When enabled, the Framework will only show entries where the stop sits beyond a higher-timeframe liquidity level.
This ensures that the SL is positioned on the “safe” side of key structure and filters out weaker setups.

You can also choose which higher-timeframe levels count as valid protection.


3. Improvements in ROI and Win Rate

The internal cleanup associated with this update resulted in improved ROI and Win Rate across most assets and timeframes using the default configuration.

No changes were made to the core methodology — the improvements are simply the result of clearer logic and stricter filtering.


4. Use As-Is, or Refine Further

The Framework still auto-adapts based on the chart you are using.
This means:

  • You don’t need to modify anything to keep using it normally.
  • If you enjoy fine-tuning your approach, the new filters and the backtesting panel give you more flexibility than before.

Whether you want a strict set of conditions or a broader view, the Framework now supports both approaches cleanly.
