Where reactions matter. Nothing more.
Goldilocks is a TradingView indicator for GC and MGC that maps session structure, scores confluence, and detects setups — without clutter, signals, or prediction.
The Problem
Most indicators show everything.
Traders mistake confirmation for edge.
Gold punishes over-analysis.
Clutter creates false confidence.
Goldilocks exists because most tools refuse to hide.
The Philosophy
Levels are earned through structure, not drawn by hand.
Confluence is scored objectively. Most levels are filtered out.
Session context determines what matters right now.
If nothing qualifies, nothing is shown.
Restraint is not a limitation.
It is the edge.
What Goldilocks Does
Session Levels & Asia Range
Tracks previous NY session high/low and the overnight Asia range — the structural anchors that define the day.
Fair Value Gaps
Identifies and filters FVGs by size. Gaps are removed automatically once price fills to the midpoint.
C1 / C2 / C3 Setups
Detects displacement, retracement into the gap, and continuation — scored by whether the retrace swept a protected or failure swing.
Liquidity Sweeps
Flags when price wicks beyond a confirmed swing level and closes back inside. Swings are classified as protected or failure.
Confluence Scoring
Every key level is scored by how many others cluster nearby. Only the strongest zones are shown, tiered by intensity.
Displacement Detection
Large-body candles exceeding ATR thresholds are color-coded by intensity — highlighting aggressive institutional participation.
Opening Range & HTF Levels
Marks the first 5, 15, or 30 minutes of the NY session. Higher timeframe levels provide broader structural context.
Volume Profile & Fibs
POC, Value Area High/Low, and automatic session Fibonacci retracements — all drawn and managed for you.
What Goldilocks Does Not Do
- No buy or sell signals
- No entries, exits, or targets
- No alerts or automated notifications
- No backtesting or win-rate claims
- No hindsight repainting
Goldilocks does not tell you what to do.
It shows you where attention belongs.
Visual Walkthrough
Session Levels & Asia Range
Previous NY session high/low and overnight Asia range — the structural anchors most participants orient around.
FVGs & Displacement
Fair Value Gaps sized and filtered automatically. Displacement candles color-coded by intensity.
C1 / C2 / C3 Setups
Displacement creates the cause. Retracement into the gap scores validity. Continuation confirms the move.
Confluence Scoring
Every level is scored by how many others cluster nearby. The strongest zones are highlighted automatically.
Goldilocks is built natively for TradingView and designed to integrate cleanly into professional futures workflows.
Confluence Tiers
Baseline
Meets the minimum confluence score. A structurally notable level worth monitoring.
Moderate
Multiple levels cluster nearby. Stronger structural overlap warrants closer attention.
High Confluence
The densest concentration of key levels. Session highs/lows, POC, FVGs, and HTF levels converge.
Every level earns its place. Nothing is assumed.
Who It's For
Goldilocks is for
- GC and MGC futures traders
- Traders who use structure over indicators
- Traders who want confluence scored, not stacked
- Traders who value patience over frequency
Goldilocks is not for
- Signal seekers or alert chasers
- Traders looking for entries and exits
- Anyone trading instruments other than gold futures
- Indicator collectors
If you need the chart to tell you what to do, this is not the tool.
Access
Goldilocks is built exclusively for GC and MGC.
Access is limited by design.
This is not a mass-market indicator.
Goldilocks provides market context, not trade direction.
Gold does not reward activity.
It rewards patience.
Goldilocks was built accordingly.
