Crossframe Bias Ledger [JOAT]Crossframe Bias Ledger
Introduction
Crossframe Bias Ledger is an open-source non-repainting higher-timeframe bias overlay built to align an intermediate timeframe, a major timeframe, and the local chart into one directional map. It uses safely delayed `request.security()` calls, crossframe basis clouds, premium/discount rails, alignment boxes, execution-state labels, and an optional TP/SL scaffold on fresh confirmed alignment shifts.
The script solves directional context across timeframes. Many local signals fail because they are taken against dominant higher-timeframe structure. Crossframe Bias Ledger keeps the user anchored to higher-timeframe alignment while still making the output actionable on the trading timeframe.
Core Concepts
1. Safe Higher-Timeframe Requests
All higher-timeframe values are retrieved using delayed indexing so incomplete higher-timeframe bars do not leak into the current chart:
idxHigher = barstate.isrealtime ? 1 : 0
idxCurrent = barstate.isrealtime ? 0 : 1
2. Primary and Secondary Trend Stacks
Fast, slow, and signal EMAs are retrieved from two higher timeframes and converted into directional scores.
3. Premium / Discount Map
The two higher-timeframe bases define a premium/discount zone. Price trading above the upper rail is treated as premium. Price trading below the lower rail is treated as discount. Price between them is treated as rebalancing.
4. Fresh Alignment Shifts
When the crossframe score crosses into confirmed bullish or bearish alignment, the script marks this as a fresh state transition and can build an informational TP/SL ladder.
5. Rebalance vs Continuation Logic
The script distinguishes rebalancing entries inside the premium/discount box from continuation conditions outside it.
Features
Non-repainting crossframe logic: Uses safely delayed higher-timeframe requests
Dual cloud system: Primary and secondary timeframe clouds on the chart
Premium / discount rails: Crossframe valuation map between the two HTF bases
Bias box: Forward execution window for the current crossframe state
Fresh alignment detection: Distinguishes a new bull/bear shift from an already active state
Continuation and rebalance readouts: Shows whether price is extending or rebalancing
Optional TP/SL ladder: Informational scaffold for new alignment shifts
Top-right dashboard: Displays state, signal, timeframe bias, location, execution mode, basis, and score
How to Use This Indicator
Step 1: Read whether the state is aligned up, aligned down, or mixed.
Step 2: Check if price is trading in premium, discount, or rebalance territory.
Step 3: Use fresh shifts to identify new state transitions. Use continuation and rebalance readings to differentiate execution style.
Step 4: Keep local entries aligned with the dominant crossframe bias whenever possible.
Indicator Limitations
Higher-timeframe logic is intentionally delayed for safety, so it will not react as quickly as unstable lookahead-based implementations
Premium/discount interpretation depends on the chosen timeframes
Mixed states are intentional and may persist when higher timeframes disagree
The TP/SL ladder is informational and does not place trades
Originality Statement
Crossframe Bias Ledger is original in the way it combines safe higher-timeframe delay logic, dual-basis premium/discount mapping, fresh alignment shifts, and execution-state scaffolding into one open-source overlay. The script is intended to provide a reusable top-down directional framework rather than a generic MTF trend line.
