Elev8+ Pro Settings Guide (Complete Walkthrough)

This guide breaks down every major setting inside Elev8+ Pro and explains how to toggle, filter, and fine-tune the indicator for your personal style—without needing to be technical. Nothing here is a guarantee of results. Think of these tools as ways to control signal selectivity and visual clarity.

The One-Line Mental Model

Levels + Context (Sweep Levels+, Deviation Zones) tell you where we are.
Triggers (Elev8 triangles + LS sweeps) tell you when something may be rotating.
Gates tell you if a trigger is “clean enough” to print.

How to Open Settings + How Toggles Work

Open your chart → click the Elev8+ Pro name → click the Settings (⚙️) icon. Nearly everything is under Inputs. The Style tab is intentionally minimal.

What “Gates” mean

A Gate does not change Elev8’s core signal logic. It simply decides if the signal is allowed to print on the chart. Turning gates on = fewer signals, typically cleaner.

Modules (What Each Feature Does)

Elev8+ Pro is modular. If your chart looks busy, start by disabling modules you don’t need.

Main Modules

Elev8+ Reversal Signals — Triangles for reversal ideas.
Liquidity Sweeps (LS) — Sweep labels + forward-extending sweep zones.
Sweep Levels+ — Key reference levels (PDH/PDL, sessions, weekly/monthly/quarterly/yearly, VWAP, etc.).
Deviation Zones — Fill-only extension context (no BB lines).
EMA Clouds — Optional visual “clouds” for trend/structure context.

Recommended workflow

Use Sweep Levels+ as your map, Deviation Zones as your “stretch gauge,” and Elev8 triangles / LS sweeps as your triggers.

Signal Gates & Filters (How to Reduce Noise)

If you see false signals during strong trends, don’t delete your triggers—add selectivity using gates. The goal is to preserve strong “exhaustion-style” rotations while filtering the mid-trend noise.

CVD Divergence & Confirmed Sweep Gate

This is the main “quality gate.” When ON, a signal must be validated by Sweep and/or CVD divergence. Turning this on typically produces fewer signals.

Gate On/Off: Enables confirmation gating.
Mode:
- Either — Requires Sweep OR CVD Divergence.
- Both — Requires Sweep AND CVD Divergence (most selective).
- Sweep Only — Requires sweep confirmation only.
- CVD Only — Requires CVD divergence only.

Universal safety: CVD uses an Auto Real CVD → Proxy fallback. If your symbol doesn’t support Real CVD, it falls back automatically. If volume isn’t usable, the gate behaves like Sweep-only instead of breaking.

Trend Guard

Trend Guard reduces countertrend triangles in strong trends. It blocks low-quality countertrend prints unless exhaustion is present.

Enable Trend Guard — Turns the filter on.
Trend Strength — Typically ADX/EMA-based thresholds. Higher = fewer blocks (less strict).
Direction Aware — In an uptrend it’s stricter on sells; in a downtrend it’s stricter on buys.

Exhaustion Override

This is the “safety valve.” If Trend Guard would block a countertrend reversal, Exhaustion Override can allow it when price is stretched and confirmation is strong.

Enable Exhaustion Override
Exhaustion Triggers — Examples include sweep/CVD confirmation, extension away from anchors, or volatility stretch.

Avoid Middle Filter

Filters out signals that occur too close to “mid-range” anchors (common chop zone). This reduces random triangles when price is not at an extreme.

Enable Avoid Middle
Anchor — EMA/VWAP-based depending on your configuration.
Distance Threshold — ATR-style distance. Higher = fewer signals.

Elev8+ Reversal (Triangles)

This is the core reversal triangle system. If you are new, keep defaults and only adjust one thing at a time.

Core Toggles

Enable Elev8+ Reversal — Shows the primary triangle signals.
Enable DI Filter (Advanced) — Adds a stricter confirmation layer (fewer signals).

Filters (Optional)

ADX Filter — Helps avoid weak/choppy periods.
Momentum / RSI Filters — Helps confirm reversal conditions.
Band / Volatility Logic — Encourages signals closer to stretched conditions.

Rule of thumb

If you want fewer signals, increase thresholds or length values. If you want more signals, decrease thresholds slightly.

Deviation Zones (Fill-Only BB Context)

Deviation Zones provide mean-reversion and extension context using fill-only visuals. We removed BB line inputs on purpose to keep charts clean.

What you can adjust

Show Deviation Zones — On/off.
Deviation Multiplier / Strength — Higher = only more extreme zones show.
Opacity — Visual preference only.

Liquidity Sweeps (LS)

LS identifies sweep behavior (liquidity grabs) and can draw forward-extending zones to visualize the sweep area. It’s best used as confirmation and context.

Core LS Controls

Enable LS Module — Shows LS labels and zones.
Sweep Sensitivity — Stricter settings reduce LS prints.
Zone Extension — Controls how far the sweep zone extends forward.

Visual Behavior

Sweep zones extend forward while keeping the sweep candle wick visually normal—no extra wick highlight inside the box.

Colors

LS Label Color (Long)
LS Label Color (Short)
Sweep Zone Fill

Sweep Levels+ (Key Levels)

Sweep Levels+ plots the most important reference levels traders watch. To keep Settings clean, each level type uses one color that applies to both high and low where relevant.

Text Labels

Show Text Labels — On/off.
Text Label Color — One shared label color for all Sweep Levels text.

Daily Levels

Show PDH/PDL — Previous day high/low.
PDH/PDL Color — One color applies to both PDH and PDL.

Session Levels

Includes common session highs/lows (Asia, London, NY) depending on your configuration.

Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly / Yearly

Each timeframe has a single color option that applies to both high and low to reduce Settings clutter.

Post-Close Through Opacity

If levels continue after a session closes, the default opacity is 70 for readability.

EMA Clouds

Renamed from EMA Bands. Clouds are visual context tools and do not automatically equal a trade signal.

Visuals, Labels, and Chart Cleanliness

Visual settings change how the indicator looks—not what it detects. If your chart feels busy, simplify first.

Fast ways to declutter

Turn off Sweep Levels text labels.
Lower Deviation Zone opacity.
Disable modules you don’t use.

Alerts (No Toggles Required)

Alerts do not require “Enable Alerts” switches. TradingView alerts only fire when you create one.

How to set an alert

Click the Alerts (clock) icon.
Select Elev8+ Pro as the condition source.
Choose the condition (Buy/Sell, LS sweep event, etc.).
Select delivery (popup, app, email, webhook) and create it.

Recommended Presets

Preset A: Balanced (Most Users)

Gate: OFF (or Mode = Either for fewer signals)
Trend Guard: ON
Exhaustion Override: ON
Avoid Middle: ON (moderate)

Preset B: Conservative (Fewer, Cleaner Signals)

Gate: ON (Mode = Either or Both)
Trend Guard: ON (stricter)
Exhaustion Override: ON
Avoid Middle: ON (higher threshold)

Preset C: More Signals (Learning / Backtesting)

Gate: OFF
Trend Guard: OFF
Exhaustion Override: OFF
Avoid Middle: OFF

FAQ & Troubleshooting

Why do I get more false signals in trends?

Reversal detection is naturally noisier in strong trends. Use Trend Guard + Avoid Middle. For even fewer signals, turn on the CVD/Sweep Gate in Either mode.

Does the CVD gate work on Forex?

Some FX feeds do not provide the same volume delta. Elev8+ Pro uses Auto fallback so it stays stable across symbols. If Real CVD isn’t supported, it falls back automatically and still uses sweep confirmation when available.

What should I adjust first if my chart feels busy?

Turn off Sweep Levels text labels.
Lower Deviation Zone opacity.
Disable modules you aren’t actively using.

Best practice: Start with the Balanced preset, then change only one filter at a time and observe how it affects signal count and quality over a few sessions.
