Combined Grades
— Column by Column

Every column inside the Combined Grades popup explained in full — what each grade measures, how the interpretation dot is determined, and how to use the table to select the best setups across your full watchlist.

Section 01

What Is the Combined Grades Popup?

The Combined Grades popup is a floating table that opens when you click any pair in the M30 column of the Stochastic Dashboard. Rather than focusing on a single pair, it presents a full-universe quality scan — showing the D1 Trade Grade and Session Grade for every pair on your watchlist simultaneously, synthesised into a colour-coded dot and verdict that tells you exactly where to focus your attention.

How to Open

Triggering the Popup

Click any cell in the M30 column of the Stochastic Dashboard. The Combined Grades popup opens centred on the chart. Only one M30 popup can be open at a time — opening a second pair's popup automatically closes the existing one. Dismiss it with the ✕ CLOSE button at the bottom or by clicking outside the popup bounds.

What It Shows

Full-Universe Pair Quality Scan

The popup lists every pair currently loaded in the dashboard in a scrollable table. Each row shows the pair name, its D1 Trade Grade (daily timeframe quality), the current Session Grade (intraday quality), a synthesis dot, and a plain-English interpretation — all colour-coded A/B/C across the board so you can scan the entire watchlist in seconds.

Design Goal

Find the Best Setups at a Glance

Rather than clicking through each pair individually, the Combined Grades table brings every pair's grade into a single view. Green dots rise to the top of your attention immediately. The goal is to eliminate the noise — pairs with red dots or C-grade combinations are filtered out mentally, letting you focus only on the setups that have both daily and intraday quality aligned.

Live Refresh

Grades Stay Current While Open

Both the D1 Grade and Session Grade recalculate continuously. The table refreshes live, so if a pair's session conditions improve or deteriorate while you are reviewing the popup, the dot and interpretation update automatically. No need to close and reopen — it remains accurate throughout the trading session.

Section 02

Popup Anatomy

The Combined Grades popup is a structured table with five columns. The title bar shows "Combined Grades", a column header row labels each field, and then a data row per pair fills the body — each row separated by a thin divider line for easy scanning.

Popup Preview

Example: Scan the dot column — two green dots stand out immediately (EURUSD and GBPUSD). All others are yellow or red, meaning attention should concentrate on those two pairs first.

Panel Structure

Title Bar

Combined Grades

Fixed header bar. Title text is configurable via M30_Popup_Header_Title. Default styling: Gold text on dark slate-gray background. Border colour, font, and size all adjustable via M30 popup settings.

Column Headers

Pair · D1 Grade · Session Grade · ● · Interpretation

A single styled header row labels each of the five data columns. Background colour, font size, and font name are all configurable via M30_Table_Header_* settings.

Data Rows

One Row Per Pair

Each pair in your watchlist gets its own row. Rows are separated by thin configurable separator lines. Row height is controlled by M30_Table_Row_Height (default 22 px). Grades are colour-coded lime green / yellow / red by letter.

Close Button

✕ CLOSE

Dark red dismiss button spanning the full popup width at the bottom. Also dismisses by clicking outside the popup area. Opening a new M30 popup for any pair automatically closes the current one.

Columns — Every Field Explained

The Combined Grades table has five columns displayed left to right in the order shown below — exactly as they appear in the popup. Each column serves a distinct role in the pair quality assessment workflow.

Column 1 — Pair
Symbol Name
Lists each pair currently loaded in the dashboard watchlist, in the order they appear in the main grid. This is the row anchor — every grade and interpretation on that row belongs to this pair. If pair abbreviations are enabled in the main dashboard settings, the full symbol name is shown here rather than the abbreviated form, for clarity.
Column 2 — D1 Grade
Daily Trade Grade
The overall trade quality score on the daily timeframe — the same grade generated by the D1 Stochastic Info Box popup. It synthesises HTF bias, stochastic momentum state, Keltner Channel position, ADR usage, obstacle proximity, signal age, execution window, and currency basket alignment into a single letter verdict.
A — High-conviction daily setup. Technical structure, momentum, and macro alignment all support the trade direction.
B — Moderate quality. One or more factors are mixed or not fully aligned. Trade with reduced size and tighter management.
C — Low quality or setup not yet formed. Avoid or stand aside and wait for the daily picture to improve.
Column 3 — Session Grade
Current Session Grade
A real-time intraday quality score reflecting how constructively the pair is moving during the current session — Asia, London, or New York. The session grade captures whether price action within the active session window is directional, clean, and aligned with the daily bias, or whether it is choppy, erratic, and fighting itself.
A — Intraday conditions are strong. The pair is moving cleanly and presenting well-formed setups within the session.
B — Moderate intraday quality. Conditions are acceptable but not ideal — expect noisier price action and require tighter confirmation.
C — Intraday conditions are poor. The session is producing choppy, unpredictable movement on this pair. Caution or avoidance recommended.
Column 4 — ●
Combined Signal Dot
A single colour dot that synthesises the D1 Grade and Session Grade into one instant visual verdict. It is the fastest scan column in the table — run your eyes down the dot column to identify prime setups without reading the other columns first. The dot colour is independently configurable for each grade level.
Green — Both grades align positively (A+A or A+B). Setup has both daily and intraday quality. Full attention warranted.
Yellow — Mixed quality (B+B, B+A, or similar). The setup exists but requires extra selectivity. Trade only the very best entry within this condition.
Red — Conflicting or low quality (C involved in any combination). Avoid or wait for conditions to improve on both timeframes.
Column 5 — Interpretation
Combined Verdict Text
A brief plain-English label describing the combined outcome of the D1 and Session grade pairing. Removes any ambiguity about what the dot colour means in practice. Examples include "Prime Setup", "Good Setup", "Proceed Cautiously", "Low Quality — Avoid", and "Avoid". The interpretation text colour is configurable via M30_Table_Interp_Color (default silver).
Section 04

Grade Combinations & What They Mean

There are nine possible D1 × Session grade combinations. The table below maps every combination to its dot colour and the strategy implication — so you know exactly what to do when you see any given row in the popup.

D1 Grade Session Grade Dot Verdict Strategy Implication
A A ● Prime Setup Maximum conviction. Both daily structure and intraday conditions are optimal. Trade at normal or full position size with confidence.
A B ● Good Setup Strong daily quality with acceptable intraday conditions. Trade at normal size — the daily grade carries the conviction.
B A ● Moderate Good session conditions but daily structure is only moderate. Wait for a cleaner entry within the session. Reduce position size.
A C ● Daily Good, Session Poor The daily setup is valid but intraday conditions are actively working against you. Wait for session conditions to improve before entering.
B B ● Proceed Cautiously Both timeframes are mediocre. The setup exists but quality is limited on both fronts. Only trade the most obvious, cleanest entries. Reduce size.
B C ● Low Quality — Avoid Moderate daily grade with poor session conditions. Risk/reward is unfavourable. Stand aside and monitor for both grades to improve.
C A ● Session Good, Daily Poor Intraday conditions are clean but the daily structure is weak. Any move is likely to be short-lived or counter-trend. Avoid.
C B ● Low Quality — Avoid Poor daily grade with only moderate intraday support. The odds are firmly against a clean trade. Stand aside entirely.
C C ● Avoid Both timeframes are poor. This pair should be completely ignored for trading. Move on to pairs with green or yellow dots.
💡 How to Use the Table in Practice: When you open the Combined Grades popup, immediately scan the dot column (column 4). Identify all green dots first — those are your candidate pairs. Then scan the interpretation column to confirm verdict text. Pairs with green dots and "Prime Setup" or "Good Setup" labels are where your focus belongs. Yellow dots warrant a secondary look if your green-dot list is thin. Red dots are eliminated from consideration for that session.
About Grade Timing: The D1 Grade reflects daily timeframe structure that can persist for hours or days. The Session Grade is more fluid — it can shift from A to B or B to C as the session progresses, particularly around news events or when a session transitions. Because the popup refreshes live, a pair that enters the session as a B/C combination may improve to an A/A combination as London liquidity builds and price action clarifies.

Tip — Sizing for Large Watchlists: If you monitor more than 15 pairs, consider increasing M30_Popup_Height to 600–700 px so more rows are visible at once without the table being clipped by the bottom of the popup. The popup is centre-positioned on the chart and will auto-adjust if the height would exceed the chart window bounds.
