Question 1

Is this a buy/sell signal indicator?

Accepted Answer

No. It is a market-reading and trade-plan engine. It can print CONF and PLAN labels, but the main value is the decision process behind those labels. CONF and PLAN are decision-support outputs, not instructions to buy or sell.

Question 2

What is the difference between CONF and PLAN?

Accepted Answer

CONF means a VSA clue has been confirmed by market response — it is confirmed market information. PLAN means that confirmed event additionally passed stricter quality gates and became a structured trade-plan reference. PLAN is still not financial advice, not a trade instruction, and not a guarantee.

Question 3

Does every VSA read become a trade?

Accepted Answer

No. A VSA read is market evidence. Professional traders do not trade every clue automatically. The strongest ideas usually combine VSA read, location, confirmation, target room, and logical invalidation.

Question 4

Can a good VSA read still hit stop-loss?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Trading is probabilistic. A VSA read can make sense and still fail if the market does not follow through or the idea becomes invalidated. This is why stop-loss and invalidation planning are part of the workflow.

Question 5

How should I treat counter-trend or early reversal plans?

Accepted Answer

Counter-trend and early reversal plans require extra caution. They are usually stronger near meaningful support/resistance, after rejection, absorption, or a structure shift. Without those factors, many traders may choose to wait for more confirmation.

Question 6

Why does the engine show CONF even when there is no PLAN?

Accepted Answer

Because CONF is market information. It tells you that something meaningful happened. PLAN is a more selective structured planning reference after additional quality checks. This separation is intentional.

Question 7

Does PLAN guarantee the trade will work?

Accepted Answer

No. PLAN means the event passed the engine's planning checks. It does not guarantee the market will follow through. Trading always requires risk management, judgment, and acceptance of invalidation.

Question 8

Does it promise profitable trades?

Accepted Answer

No. Trading in financial markets carries substantial risk and users may lose money. TradePlan Engine products are decision-support software designed to improve market reading and filtering — not a profit guarantee.

Question 9

Do I need to know VSA to use it?

Accepted Answer

Basic trading knowledge helps, but the engine simplifies the VSA process through labels, dashboard information, target expectation, and trade-plan structure.

Question 10

Which edition should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Choose Gold if you mainly trade XAUUSD, Crypto if you trade BTC / ETH / SOL or liquid crypto markets, and Indices if you trade Nasdaq or S&P products. Choose the Complete Suite if you trade multiple markets.

Question 11

Does it work on all markets?

Accepted Answer

No. Each edition is market-specific. The Gold Edition is for Gold / XAUUSD, the Crypto Edition is for crypto markets, and the Indices Edition is for Nasdaq and S&P products only (NQ, MNQ, ES, MES, US100, US500).

Question 12

Is the Gold Edition only for XAUUSD?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Gold Edition is designed specifically for Gold / XAUUSD behavior, including wick reactions, support and resistance context, liquidity sweeps, and Gold-style volatility. It should not be treated as a universal indicator for every market.

Question 13

Which timeframe should beginners start with?

Accepted Answer

New users may find the 3-minute and 5-minute charts easier to read than the 1-minute chart. The 1-minute chart can be useful for active scalping, but it can also create more noise. The 15-minute chart is useful for broader context.

Question 14

What does No PLAN or Blocked mean?

Accepted Answer

No PLAN or Blocked means the engine detected a potential VSA read but did not consider the trade-plan structure clean enough. This may be due to weak location, poor target room, counter-trend pressure, repeated signals in the same zone, late confirmation, damaged structure, or mid-range conditions.

Question 15

Can a valid Gold PLAN still lose?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A PLAN is a structured market-read, not certainty. News, session volatility, liquidity grabs, failed follow-through, stronger hidden supply or demand, and higher-timeframe pressure can still invalidate a good read. The tool supports decision-making; it does not guarantee outcomes.

Question 16

Does a BUY PLAN or SELL PLAN mean I should enter immediately?

Accepted Answer

No. A BUY PLAN or SELL PLAN is a structured planning reference, not an instruction to buy or sell. Traders should still consider spread, execution, volatility, candle behavior, risk, and their own trading plan.

Question 17

Will I receive a user guide?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After confirmed access, Gold Edition customers receive the Gold user guide by email. The guide explains labels, dashboard fields, TP Focus, trade-plan lines, beginner workflow, common mistakes, and risk reminders.

Question 18

Do I need TradingView?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The product is built as a TradingView indicator and delivered via TradingView invite-only indicator access.

Question 19

How is access delivered?

Accepted Answer

Through TradingView invite-only indicator access. Each subscription covers one TradingView username unless otherwise agreed.

Question 20

Do I get the source code?

Accepted Answer

No. The subscription provides access to use the indicator on TradingView. It does not include source code, resale rights, copying rights, redistribution rights, or permission to reverse engineer the product.

Question 21

Does PLAN mean I should enter a trade?

Accepted Answer

No. PLAN is a structured decision-support reference, not a trade instruction. Users must independently decide whether any market condition is suitable for them. The final trading decision always belongs to you.

Question 22

Is this financial advice?

Accepted Answer

No. It is decision-support software for educational and informational purposes only. No adviser-client, fiduciary, broker, or account-management relationship is created by using the product.

Question 23

What is the refund policy?

Accepted Answer

A 7-day refund window applies to first-time purchases only. No refunds based on trading outcomes. See the Refund Policy page for full terms.

Question 24

Will more engines be added later?

Accepted Answer

We may add more tools in the future, but the current product suite is focused on DTG VSA Market Engine for Gold, Crypto, and Indices.

Question 25

Does the Forex Edition use real volume?

Accepted Answer

No. Spot Forex does not have centralized exchange volume. The Forex Edition uses broker tick volume as a market-activity proxy and treats it with lower confidence than centralized exchange volume.

Question 26

Which Forex pairs are supported?

Accepted Answer

The Forex Edition is built for major Forex pairs and selected liquid crosses, including EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, AUDUSD, USDCAD, USDCHF, NZDUSD, and selected liquid crosses such as EURGBP, EURJPY, GBPJPY, AUDJPY, and others. It is not designed for exotics or non-Forex assets.

Question 27

Can I use the Forex Edition on Gold, Oil, Crypto, or Indices?

Accepted Answer

No. Each edition is market-specific. Gold, Crypto, Indices, and Forex have different behavior, data quality, and risk conditions. Use the edition designed for the market you trade.

Question 28

Why does Forex need different quality gates?

Accepted Answer

Forex has decentralized volume, session-based liquidity changes, rollover spread risk, and major news sensitivity. The Forex Edition adds filters and caution states for those conditions.
