Step 1: Get Access
The Framework is available through FiveML:
Activate your subscription here.
You’ll be asked to enter your TradingView username so we can grant access to the invite-only indicator. No download required. The script appears inside “Invite-Only Scripts” in TradingView.
Access is granted within 24 business hours.
Step 2: Add the Indicator to Your Chart
Once access is granted:
- Open any chart in TradingView
- Click the Indicators menu
- Go to Invite-Only Scripts
- Click Black Tie Report Framework (Pro) to add it
The Framework works out of the box with default settings. You don’t need to configure anything to start.
Step 3: Select a Preset
The fastest way to start is with the Preset dropdown in the Performance settings group. Select your asset and timeframe, and the indicator automatically configures sessions, trade signal trigger, and HTF trend detection for that combination.
Available presets:
- XAUUSD — 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H
- XAGUSD — 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H
- EURUSD — 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H
- GBPUSD — 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H
- BTCUSD — 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H
- NAS100 — 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H
- ETHUSD — 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H
- USDJPY — 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H
- US30 — 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H
Each preset was tested and optimized by our team. Select “Custom” for full manual control of all settings.
The presets are a starting point, not a ceiling. You’re always free to set it to Custom and experiment. If you want to tune your own configuration, these are the 4 settings that move the needle the most:
1. Sessions (Tokyo/London/NY on or off)
2. Trade Signal Trigger (Displacement, Break & Retest, MSS/BOS + Displacement, etc.)
3. HTF Selection (Auto vs. Manual)
4. HTF Trend Detection (Structure vs. Pattern-Based)
Enable the Performance Panel, change one setting at a time, and compare the results.
If you’re unsure, start with XAUUSD 15m on a 15-minute chart — 68% win rate across 101 trades.
Step 4: Understand the Trade Boxes
The Framework generates trade boxes on your chart. Each trade box shows:
- Entry level — where the trade triggers
- Stop loss — calculated from confirmed pivot swings (not arbitrary)
- TP1, TP2, TP3 — take profit levels at configurable risk:reward ratios
Trade boxes appear when the selected trigger mode fires and all active filters pass. Not every condition generates a trade — that’s by design.
Step 5: Enable Trade Quality Filters (Optional)
Four filters reject low-quality setups before they appear on the chart:
- Key Levels Filter — blocks trades where SL crosses a daily, weekly, or monthly key level
- Protected SL — requires at least one session open between entry and SL
- Max SL Distance — caps SL at a maximum ATR distance (OFF by default)
- Anti-Chase — blocks entries after extended moves
Start with defaults. Turn filters on one at a time as you learn what they do.
Step 6: Set Your Alerts
The Framework has 17 alerts organized by category.
Start with these 3:
- LONG Trade Signal — fires when a bullish trade box appears
- SHORT Trade Signal — fires when a bearish trade box appears
Trend Alignment Changed — HTF+LTF alignment shifts direction
Trade signal alerts include entry, SL, and TP levels in the alert message — ready for AlertaTron, webhooks, or manual execution.
To set alerts: click the alert icon on TradingView, select “Black Tie Framework 2026 v2.2” as the condition, and choose the alert from the dropdown. Set trigger to “Once per bar close”. choose the alert from the dropdown.
Step 7: Use the Performance Panel
Enable Show Performance Panel in the Performance settings to track every trade the Framework generates:
- Win rate, expectancy in R
- TP1 / TP2 / TP3 hit distribution
- Average time in trade
- Date range
Exit Strategy options:
- Single Target (TP1/TP2/TP3) — trade closes entirely at one TP level or SL
- TP1 → BE + Trail — closes 50% at TP1, moves SL to breakeven, trails remaining 50% to TP2. Default and recommended.
Use the panel to evaluate different settings, trigger modes, and filters before trading live.
Step 8: Analysis Only Mode
If you want the Framework’s analysis layers (structure, key levels, VP, displacement) without the trade boxes, switch Indicator Mode to Analysis Only. This hides trade boxes, markers, and the performance panel while keeping all context and alerts functional.
Useful for chart reading sessions or if you prefer to execute manually.
Manage Your Risk
The Framework handles structure and execution logic. Your job is risk management.
- Risk no more than 1% per trade
- Avoid excessive leverage
- Think in probabilities, not certainties
The trade quality filters help reject bad setups, but they can’t stop you from oversizing.
