Your First 7 Days With Elev8+ (A Simple Onboarding Plan)

Most new users make the same mistake: they turn everything on, take every signal,and feel overwhelmed. This 7-day plan gives you a clean, integrated learning path thatcombines installation, settings, and core rules so you can build confidence without guessing.

The Goal of Week 1

You are not trying to “trade perfectly.” You are building pattern recognition:Level Location $\rightarrow$ Sweep $\rightarrow$ Rejection $\rightarrow$ Confirmation $\rightarrow$ Rotation.

Day 1: Installation & Minimal Chart Setup

Task: Get Access

Confirm your TradingView username is registered. Log in to TradingView and check theInvite-Only Scripts section. Click the + button next to Elev8+ to add it to your chart.

If the script is missing, see the Troubleshooting section at the bottom of this post (Issue #1).

Task: Apply Minimal Preset

Go into the indicator settings and apply the Minimal Preset for maximum clarity.

Enable: Elev8+ Reversal Signals (Triangles).
Enable: Sweep Levels+ (Set to show only PDH, PDL, Overnight H/L).
Leave Off: EMA Ribbon, Sweep Boxes, and all other modules.

Your only job today is to have a clean, working chart showing only major levels and basic signals.

Day 2: Learn the Core Language (Sweep Anatomy)

Study the Legend: Learn what the Triangle, LS Label, and Sweep Boxes represent (you can temporarily turn on Sweep Boxes to see the visual rejection zone).
Scroll Back: Review the last 5 trading days on a 5-minute chart.
Identify: Find 10 clean sweeps (long wick, closed back inside the level) and 10 messy sweeps (short wick, chop, mid-range).
The Rule: Practice waiting for the candle to close. If you enter while price is still running the level, you are trading the stop hunt, not the confirmed reversal.

Day 3: Build a "Core Six" Levels Watchlist

The biggest execution upgrade is a short, intentional watchlist. Do not trade what you haven't prepared for.

Your Daily “Core Six” Template

PDH / PDL (Prior Day High/Low)
Overnight High / Low
Weekly High / Low (Only if price is near them)
Asia H/L or London H/L (depending on your session focus)

Go into your Sweep Levels+ settings and disable every level that is not on your list. If a level is far from current price, it does not belong on your execution chart.

Day 4: Confirmation & Invalidation Discipline

The most consistent first objective after a qualified sweep is a rotation back toward value.

Stop Practice: Mark the sweep wick extreme (the high/low of the rejection candle). This is your invalidation point.
Target Practice: Identify VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) or the mid-range of the recent structure. This is your first objective.
The Rule: If your target is not at least 2x your stop distance (2R), the trade is low quality. Skip it.

Day 5: Add One Context Layer (Optional)

If you feel comfortable, add one module that improves clarity. Do not add both.

Option A (Rejection Visual): Add Liquidity Sweep Boxes (use light opacity) to better visualize the exact zone where rejection occurred.
Option B (Trend Context): Add the EMA Ribbon to see the macro trend context (helps you avoid fighting a steep trend day).

If clarity decreases after adding the module, immediately revert to the Minimal Preset.

Day 6: Paper Trade the Sweep-to-Mean

Using your checklist (Level, Sweep, Confirmation), paper trade the setup.

Entry: On the open of the candle after the triangle/LS signal confirms.
Stop: Beyond the sweep wick.
Exit: Use a fixed 2R target at your calculated value zone (VWAP/Mid-range). Do not trail today. Focus only on entry quality.

Day 7: Review & Build Your Rules

Review your Day 6 trades and extract 3 non-negotiable rules you will follow next week.

Example: “I only trade LS signals, never Triangles.”
Example: “If price fails to break a micro high/low in my favor after entry, I cut at breakeven.”

Your rules must be based on your personal execution performance and emotional triggers.

Elev8+ Troubleshooting & FAQ

Issue 1: “I don’t see Elev8+ in Invite-Only Scripts”

Check Username: Confirm your TradingView username is correct (spelling and case matter).
Refresh: Log out and log back into TradingView, then check Profile $\rightarrow$ Invite-Only Scripts.

Issue 2: “The script loads but no signals show”

Toggles: Open indicator settings and ensure Reversal Signals (Triangles) and Sweep Levels+ are checked.
Chart Type: Ensure you are on a Candles chart, not bars or Heikin-Ashi.

Issue 3: “My chart is too cluttered with lines”

Solution: Reduce your Sweep Levels+ list. Disable longer-horizon levels (Monthly/Yearly) and keep only the Core Six.
Best Practice: Your goal is not to see every level, but to see the few magnets that matter today.

Closing Framework

Clarity over Complexity. Week 1 is about learning the language.
