Reads the prior bar's range and plots the entry, stop, and targets for you, automatically, in whichever setup is actually forming: reversal, directional, or gap fill.
sX ADAPT is a chart overlay that builds a fib-style level ladder from a higher timeframe bar (daily by default) and tracks it in real time. Instead of manually drawing entries and targets, ADAPT detects which kind of setup is on the chart and plots the full trade plan: Entry, Stop Loss, TP1, and TP2, with an optional Early Entry mode and stair-step extension targets when price runs further than expected.
It works on any symbol and any chart timeframe, holds the plotted levels through minor wicks with an anti-blink filter, and can optionally suggest a rounded option contract to trade the setup with, including a live premium if you want it.
Every setup is built from two anchor prices: a 0% Base and a 100% TP2. Everything else, Entry, Stop, TP1, is a percentage of the distance between those two points, the same way a fib retracement tool works.
Standard Entry Mode uses the 25% level for entry and 12.5% for stop. Early Entry Mode swaps to an 8% entry and a 4% stop instead, closer to the base, for traders who want in earlier and are comfortable with a smaller cushion.
ADAPT can run in one forced mode, or in Auto, where it detects the right mode per direction on its own.
25sense. Price sweeps the prior bar's high or low, then closes back through the 25% entry level. The anchor is the swept extreme itself.
Same fib ladder, no sweep required. The levels project from the period's open in the trade direction, toward the prior bar's opposite extreme.
The current bar opened outside the prior bar's range. 0% is the open, and TP2 targets the prior bar's nearest extreme, essentially playing the gap closing.
Per direction: a gap open starts as Gap Fill and transforms into Reversal once price closes beyond the reversal entry. Otherwise Directional while inside the prior range, flipping to Reversal on a sweep.
Pre-Trigger Bias (Auto direction only) controls what shows before either side has triggered. Trigger shows nothing until a close crosses an entry level. Guess leans toward the still-forming candle's current direction, but a real trigger always overrides the guess instantly.
Directional mode only. If the current period opens beyond the prior high or low, the "default" TP2 has already been reached before the bar even started. Stair-Step scans back through history to find the first un-breached extreme and locks that as TP2 for the whole period, sizing Entry, Stop, and TP1 off it. As price breaks through, extension targets (TP3, TP4, and beyond) appear automatically at the next un-breached levels, up to the configured Stair-Step Depth.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Setup Type | Force Reversal, Directional, Gap Fill, or let Auto decide per direction. |
| Direction | Auto-detects the active side, or force Up / Down to always plot one direction. |
| Pre-Trigger Bias | Trigger (wait for confirmation) or Guess (lean with the forming candle) before a real trigger fires. |
| Timeframe | Which prior bar defines the range, Daily by default. Levels only display while chart TF ≤ this. |
| Lookback | Which closed bar sets the range. 1 = the standard, most recent prior bar. |
| Show ADAPT Until Close | Anti-blink hold: after triggering, a setup stays plotted until price closes on the wrong side for two consecutive confirmation candles. |
| Directional 0% Base | Where the base of the ladder sits in Directional mode, the current HTF open, or a custom price. |
| TP2 (100%) Level | Prior bar's high/low by default, or set a custom price. |
| Stair-Step Depth | How far back Directional mode scans to find the next un-breached extension level. |
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Entry Mode | Standard (25%/12.5%) or Early (8%/4%), each with independent line, color, and fill styling. |
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Line Start / End | Anchor lines to the entry candle or a custom offset, and extend them left/right by a set number of bars. |
| Show TP2 / TP1 / Base / Entry / SL | Toggle each level's line, label color, style, and width independently. |
| Label Size | Font size in pixels for all level labels. |
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Risk / Reward 1 / Reward 2 fills | Shaded zones between Stop→Entry, Entry→TP1, and TP1→TP2. |
| EE Risk / EE Reward fills | Equivalent shaded zones for Early Entry mode. |
| Box Start | Fills begin at the entry candle, or at the start of the HTF period. |
| Box Start Fallback | If no entry has fired yet, preview the setup from the period open instead of hiding fills entirely. |
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Show Table | Displays the live Setup, Entry, SL, TP1, TP2 panel on the chart, placement configurable. |
| Show Extended TPs | Lists stair-step TP3+ extension levels in the table as they appear (lines/labels always draw regardless). |
| Suggest Contract | Adds a Suggested Contracts section: rounds Entry/TP1/TP2 to the nearest valid strike and auto-picks Calls or Puts based on direction. |
| Expiry | Strike Only (no live data), 0DTE, 1DTE, Next Friday, Monthly, or a manual date. Expiry Offset multiplies the cycle (e.g. Next Fri × 2 = two Fridays out). |
| Display | Strike Only, or Strike & Price to show a live estimated premium alongside the strike. |
| Alert | Fires when |
|---|---|
| ADAPT Long Trigger | Close crosses beyond the 25% entry level to the upside. |
| ADAPT Short Trigger | Close crosses beyond the 25% entry level to the downside. |
ADAPT's levels only display while your chart timeframe is at or below the configured setup Timeframe. Trading a Daily-based setup on a Weekly chart won't show anything, drop to Daily or lower.
