What everything means

The header

The strip along the top reads the market and your connection at a glance.

Ticker box SPY

Type any symbol and hit enter to load it in the focused pane. Futures load with the slash prefix — /ES, /NQ, /YM, /RTY, /GC, /SI and the micros (/MES, /MNQ, /MGC, /SIL); bare ES stays the equity. The ◇ button beside the box is the load list: Default loads the ticker you typed, ★ Gold Mags loads the Gold Mags list, and the sectors load a whole industry group (sectors are part of AscensionX3). The button wears whichever group you loaded. Linking panes lives on each chart instead: the link icon on the pane's label puts panes in a colour group, and panes in the same group all change together when you load a new ticker.

Timeframe 5m

The candle size for the focused pane — from 1-minute up through daily, with a custom option. Every signal engine runs on all timeframes regardless of which one you're looking at.

Range 30D

How far back the chart loads, in days. More days = more context for the higher-timeframe clouds and levels.

Trend readout LOW SQUEEZE

The engine's one-line read of the symbol, next to the live price and day change: BULL ↑ or BEAR ↓ when one side is driving, · FADING when that momentum is cooling, and squeeze states like LOW SQUEEZE when compression is building instead. Below it runs the tape line — O H L C of the current bar, day Volume, RVOL (relative volume vs. normal), and the exchange timestamp.

Live pill ● LIVE

The real-time stream toggle for the focused pane — green when streaming. SAMPLE DATA in the header means no market-data keys yet: the chart is a demo until you finish setup.

Feed selector SCHWAB

Which live feed drives the stream — click to cycle: IEX (Alpaca free — real-time but only ~2% of US volume: quiet stretches pre-market and after-hours, thinner candles during market hours; each bar upgrades to full-market data once the 16-minute consolidated tape catches up; an amber IEX quiet note appears beside the pill when no IEX trade has printed for a while) → SCHWAB (100% of US volume, real-time, free after connecting Schwab) → SIP (Alpaca's paid full-market feed, if you have it).

Alerts bell

Price alerts — armed levels, hits, voice alerts, and the chime picker. The orange dot means alerts are armed. MomoX3 chimes (or speaks) when price gets there. Set one by right-clicking the chart at the price you want; the ↻ mark on an armed alert means it's persistent — it re-arms itself after firing.

Watchlist

Your symbol lists. Click a symbol to load it in the focused pane; manage multiple lists from the switcher.

News

Headlines for the loaded symbol, right next to the chart. The button opens the News window in the right dock; type any ticker in its box, or click its link icon to put it in a chart's colour group so it follows that chart.

Options chain overlay

Opens the options dock — the chain, High-OI view, and the overlay that draws walls and ±EM lines on the chart.

Chart layout

Pane arrangements — single chart or multi-pane grids, each pane with its own symbol and timeframe. Pick from 1 chart up to 18: side by side, stacked, a big chart with two small ones, or two rows.

Trading Journal 📓

Opens your trade journal — every logged Trade Recap, stats, calendar, and goals (full tour in The Trading Journal). A cyan badge on the button means unread mentor notes are waiting.

Support chat retired

The in-app ? chat has been retired — there's no support button in the header any more. For help, DM @SupportX3 on Discord. Ask anything — setup, your account, how a feature works — and it answers from the official guides, hands you the right link, or passes it to a person when one is needed. Billing changes and trade advice always stay human.

Key button 🔑

Opens the Market data keys dialog — where your Alpaca and Schwab keys go. Keys live only in your browser and travel only with your own data requests; MomoX3's servers never keep them.

Update pill Reload to update

MomoX3 ships improvements constantly. When a new version is live, this pill appears — one click reloads into it (see What's New). Your session never hot-swaps mid-trade; updates only apply when you reload.

The pane toolbar

The small buttons on every chart: the label at the top-left, the toolbar row at the top-right, the cluster at the bottom-right.

On a fresh install the toolbar starts tucked away. Click ‹ at the chart's top-right to open it. Each chart has its own toolbar, so two charts can look different. Hover any button to see its name.

The toolbar row (top-right, left to right)

The bottom-right cluster and the price axis

The squeeze stack's own buttons

The chart's label (top-left)

What is saved where: each chart's toolbar choices ride its layout. The main window's layout stays on this device; named workspaces, saved Chart styles and most look settings follow your account when Sync across devices is on.

What it is not: the γ pill is a model estimate from yesterday's open interest, not a report of dealer positions. A wall is where open interest sits, not a promise that price stops there.

Signals & the squeeze stack

The heart of MomoX3: a squeeze-fire engine that watches every timeframe at once and tells you when momentum ignites — and when the timeframes agree.

Signal bubbles Call1h · p30

A bubble prints on the chart when a timeframe's squeeze fires — compression releasing into a directional move. Green Call bubbles mark bullish fires, orange/red Put bubbles mark bearish ones, each labeled with its timeframe (5, 15, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, D). Several bubbles stacking near each other = multiple timeframes aligning, which is exactly the condition the system exists to catch.

JEV grades A+ · B · –

A ringed letter beside a 4x8, MACD or 9x20 bubble is its JEV grade: A+, A, B, C, or a grey – for no trade. It grades how completely the setup meets the gameplan checklist — not whether the trade will pay. Squeeze fires aren't graded, and letters show on the last 5 trading sessions only. Click a bubble to open its checklist. The JEV toggle in the signal popup turns the letters off for that chart; it's on by default.

Ghost (provisional) bubbles

A bubble drawn as bare colored text with no balloon is provisional — its bar hasn't closed yet, so the fire could still un-happen. It solidifies into a full bubble when the bar settles. There's a corner toggle in the signal popup if you'd rather not see provisionals at all.

Signal settings & animations

The signal popup also holds the fire animations — the glow around fired candles — with selectable styles (Aurora, Charge, Echo, Fireflies) and per-signal toggles (Fire, 4x8, 9x20, MACD). Animations run only for the current day's session, during market hours — a performance choice, so older fires show as plain bubbles. One symbol animating while another doesn't just means nothing fired today on the quiet one.

The squeeze stack

The compact rows near the bottom of the pane — one row per timeframe. Each dot shows that timeframe's squeeze state: compressing (energy building) or released/fired. Reading the stack top-to-bottom tells you instantly which timeframes are loaded and which already went. Click a row to spotlight it — the chart isolates that timeframe's story; click away to restore. The stack's corner buttons tune it: a timeframe menu for which histograms show, a fading-colors swap (dim hue previews where momentum is heading), and a squeeze highlight that makes active squeezes pop while the rest gray out.

EMA bias legend

The small cyan/magenta bubble column by the pane logo: each bubble is one timeframe's 9/21-EMA bias — cyan bullish, magenta bearish. A bubble split by a diagonal means the fast pair and the 50-EMA disagree (mixed tape). It's the fastest "who's in control per timeframe" read on the chart.

Momo wave

The oscillator pane below price: momentum thrust above/below the zero line, colored by direction. Waves growing = momentum expanding; waves shrinking back toward zero = the move exhausting.

Stochastic pane

An overbought/oversold pair (fast cyan, slow orange) with rails at 10 and 90 — the same math as the ThinkorSwim StochasX study, to the bar. When the fast line pins a rail while the squeeze stack is loading, you're watching a move coil at an extreme.

Reversal wedges OB/OS · REV

The chevrons above tops and below bottoms — the stochastic crossing back from overbought/oversold. The OB/OS button in the signal popup cycles four modes, and the default is REV: one wedge per overbought/oversold visit, placed at the visit's price extreme, so the chevron marks the turn instead of every rail cross. A doubled wedge ⏫ is the majors marker — the reversal came off a fresh session high/low, rejected the ichimoku span or a High-OI wall, or printed classic divergence (price pushed a new extreme while momentum didn't). The other clicks: OB/OS shows every regular-hours cross, OB/OS@Lvl only crosses that touch a level (pivots, moving averages, ichimoku, fib 50s, High-OI walls), then off. Per-pane, like the rest of the popup.

The Legend

The strip along the bottom of the app: what each colour on the squeeze histogram and the clouds means.

Click Legend at the bottom-left to show or hide the colour key. The clock at its right end picks your display timezone.

What is saved where: the Legend's open or closed state stays on this device.

What it is not: a colour says what momentum is doing now. It is not a forecast of the next bar.

Structure pills

The small capsules on the squeeze histogram. Each one names a swing in momentum, judged against the swing before it.

HH · higher high
cyan

Momentum over 0 broke above its previous high. Bullish strength.

HL · higher low
red

Momentum under 0 turned up without breaking its previous low. Buyers are defending.

LH · lower high
green

Momentum over 0 turned down without breaking its previous high. Sellers are in control.

LL · lower low
magenta

Momentum under 0 broke below its previous low. Bearish strength.

DV · divergence
violet

Divergence. Price came back to the low (or undercut it) while the histogram made a higher low, or the mirror at a high. The pill reads DV in violet (it read HL div / LH div before Oct 2026; the legend image above still shows those). A hint the move is tiring. Shown only inside a squeeze.

HL run · LH run
HL green LH red

The pills after a DV that keep confirming it: HLs after a divergence at a low, LHs after one at a high. Their colors swap (HL green, LH red) to show they belong to the div's run, until an LL or an HH breaks it.

When pills show

Only during squeezes, plus a few bars either side. Each pill is judged against the previous pill on its side (highs against highs, lows against lows), and the dashed line joins the pills within one squeeze. The small tick points at the swing; on an HH it points up and on an LL down, the way momentum broke.

Clouds, bands & levels

Everything painted on the price itself: where momentum lives, where options math says the day should stay, and where the big open interest sits.

Momentum clouds

The layered clouds behind price — one per timeframe, built from that timeframe's EMAs. Teal clouds are bullish, magenta bearish; higher-timeframe clouds are the wide slow-moving ones. Price riding above stacked teal clouds is trend; price chopping through mixed colors is not. Ribbons in the MA lines popup (the wave icon on the pane toolbar) turns them on or off on every chart. Signal clouds are different: the faint shaded boxes behind a 4x8, MACD, 9x20 or squeeze-fire signal, as wide as that timeframe's candle. The cloud button on the pane toolbar steps on → TODAY only → off; its popup gives each family its own fill (0 hides it) and a Days slider.

Ichi projection tails

The forward-projected cloud edges. Their color reflects the live close-versus-span relationship, so a tail only turns cyan when price has actually reclaimed the span — no premature flips.

Expected-move bands ±EM

The olive/yellow bands: the day's options-implied range, captured from the option chain at the open and then frozen — they're a fixed map for the session, not a repainting guess. Bands only draw when a real capture exists (no placeholders), and deeper EM rings dim at most gently so they stay readable. Price reaching a band edge is reaching what the options market priced as the day's move. As the day matures, fresh generations capture the live straddle — ±EM.2H at 1pm ET and ±EM.PH at 3pm ET — and a new generation swells briefly as it prints.

High-OI strike underlines

Horizontal underlines at the strikes carrying the largest open interest — the market's magnets. The chart's High-OI button cycles on → last touch → off: the first click draws them full length, the second starts each wall at the last candle that touched its strike, and the third hides them. On the chart every wall takes its colour from where price is, like the Levels lines: green while price is above the wall, red at or below it, and the colour changes live as price crosses. The Colors row in the High-OI popup switches that chart to cyan/magenta. Calls vs puts still show in the dock's chain and High OI tab, where the S/D box sets how many sessions back price must have tested a strike to colour it green or red (see the right dock).

Call / Put walls

The single biggest OI strikes each side, drawn as wall lines on the chart. Price often stalls, pins, or fights at a wall — knowing where they are is half the day's map. The ±EM toggle in the dock draws the expected-move lines alongside them.

Key levels (the lvl button)

Each chart's corner lvl button opens the levels engine — daily-derived reference lines drawn to the right edge with price tags (pDH, wPP, …). Every group has its own Fill control, and some ship at 0 so the chart starts clean — raise a group's Fill to reveal it: Prev H/L — previous day / week / month highs and lows (on by default). Prev O/C — previous day / week / month opens and closes, drawn dashed — including pDC, the previous day close (ships at Fill 0; raise it for gap days). Moving averages — EMA 9/21/50/200 and SMA 50/200 computed on daily, weekly, and monthly closes. Pivots — standard and Person's pivots, weekly and monthly, dashed. Levels ride every pane timeframe, and the right-edge tags can be toggled off — the lines stay either way.

The options dock

The right-side dock turns the option chain into chart context.

Chain

The live chain for the loaded symbol — calls and puts by strike with volume and open interest. The strikes-per-side control sets how much of the ladder you see (High-OI strikes always show).

High OI view

The chain reduced to what matters: the top open-interest strikes per side — the same levels that drive the chart's underlines and walls. One shared count controls both the view and the chart.

Overlay

Sends the dock's read onto the chart: High-OI underlines, walls, and the ±EM lines. Toggle each piece independently — chart context without leaving the tape.

In ±EM filter

An On / Off button in the High-OI popup. On shows only the High-OI strikes inside the active expected-move band (plus one strike outside each edge); Off shows them all. It's set once for intraday charts and once for daily-and-up. Pure display — the Top-# picks and their ranks never change. The active band follows the day: the open capture first, then ±EM.2H from 1pm ET and ±EM.PH from 3pm ET.

The right dock

The column of windows beside the chart: Watchlist, News, Options and Scanner, arranged the way you like.

Click the small tab on the dock's edge to show or hide the whole dock. Drag its left edge to make it wider.

Options window extras

What is saved where: the dock's windows and their order stay on this device, one setup per app window and per named workspace. Watchlists and the High-OI Top count follow your account when Sync across devices is on.

What it is not: the indicative feed is delayed. Use the chain to read where the open interest is, not as a live quote to trade from.

Tools & panes

Drawing toolbar

Left rail: cursor, lines, shapes, fibs, arrows, text and the marks. Every tool is one-shot: place a drawing and you're back on the cursor. Arrow marker, Brush and Highlighter stay armed for 5 seconds after each mark, so you can add a few in a row. Esc exits any tool at once. While a tool is held, hovering an existing drawing shows a grab cursor: clicking it selects and moves it instead of placing a new one. Every tool by name: Drawing tools.

Floating mini charts

The drag-a-box tool in the rail pops a full chart pane in a movable window — its own symbol, timeframe, signals, everything — floating above the layout. Click a window to raise it; drag to place it; ✕ closes. Cloning from a pane carries that pane's exact zoom so you keep your framing. Its title bar holds Hide drawings on this chart-on-chart, Clone this chart-on-chart, 📌 Pin this chart-on-chart above the others and – Minimize to its title bar (click again to restore); drag its edges or corners to resize it.

Price lock

The follow-the-tape toggle (left of the bars-ahead control): keeps your zoom while snapping the view to the newest bar at every close, horizontally and vertically. Set your zoom once, and the chart stays on the action.

Bars ahead

How much empty runway stays to the right of the newest candle, set from the bars-ahead button at the bottom-right of each pane. There are two values: one for intraday charts (default 10) and one for daily and up (default 2). Changing it on a pane moves every open chart of that kind, the other kind keeps its own, and your zoom stays.

Candle-close countdown

The badge on the price axis counts down to the current bar's close, in the pane's own timeframe.

Display timezone

Tap the clock in the pane legend to pick your display timezone (US zones). Display only — every engine and session boundary stays on exchange time (ET).

Sub-studies +

The + at the pane's bottom-left manages the lower panes — volume, the squeeze stack, the oscillators — and studies, including session-anchored VWAP on intraday charts.

Workspaces

In the profile menu: save named workspaces — your layout, symbols, and settings as a set. Clicking a saved workspace opens it as its own window, exactly where it last was; New workspace… starts a fresh named window (a second monitor can hold a different setup); the ✕ deletes one (click twice to confirm). A named workspace saves itself into the list when its window closes — those rows show (last open) — and after a browser restart the app reopens every workspace automatically once you allow pop-ups for app.momox.io (one-time browser setting; otherwise a reopen banner offers them).

Pane splits

Drag the dividers between price, volume, the stack, and the oscillator panes to resize them — your sizes persist per pane across reloads.

Timeframe rows toggle

The row of timeframe pills that used to sit at the pane's bottom-left is gone. To declutter down to the timeframes you trade: the squeeze stack's timeframe menu (top-right of the stack, 5M 15M 30M 1H 2H 4H D W) picks which histograms it draws, and Signal visibility on the pane toolbar picks which timeframes print bubbles, family by family.

Drawing tools

The rail down the left side: lines, shapes, fibs, arrows, text and marks, plus the buttons that manage them.

Every tool is one-shot: place a drawing and you are back on the cursor. Arrow marker, Brush and Highlighter stay armed for 5 seconds after each mark. Esc drops any tool at once. Click a drawing to select it: its style bar opens and you can drag it.

The tools

Managing drawings

What is saved where: drawings are saved per ticker on this device and show on every chart of that ticker, any timeframe. Your default styles per tool follow your account with Sync across devices on; the magnet and the lock stay on this device.

What it is not: a Project ROI card is a model of what the option could be worth at your target, not a quote or a fill.

Alerts

Price alerts and squeeze alerts: where you set them, where they reach you, and how to change them.

Right-click the chart at a price to set an alert. The bell lists armed alerts, hits, voice and sound. Right-click the squeeze stack to be alerted when a histogram crosses 0.

What is saved where: price alerts follow your account to every device. Zero-cross alerts are saved in this browser and fire while a chart of that symbol is open. Push is switched on per device; the Discord DM switch is per account.

What it is not: an alert tells you price got there. It does not place or close a trade.

Heat map, ScannerX3 & news

The windows the header opens beside your charts: the heat map, the ScannerX3 board and its Live News.

Click a tile in the heat map to load that ticker on your chart. Click a sector to zoom into it; Esc goes back.

Heat map

ScannerX3

Live News

What is saved where: the heat map's tab stays on this device. ScannerX3's columns, sorts, saved ƒ scans, lists and settings follow your account with Sync across devices on.

What it is not: a name on the scanner is a list to study, not a buy signal on its own. ScannerX3 shows for members whose plan includes it.

The daily plan

PLAN in the header: write the day's limits before the open, and let the app hold you to them.

Set a max loss and a stop count before the open. Mark each stop; at your count the day reads DONE.

What is saved where: signed in, the plan and today's stops are saved to your account and show on every device; signed out, on this browser only. The hover on PLAN says which. A new ET day starts with no stops marked.

What it is not: the plan does not block or close trades. It keeps the count and tells you when your own rule says stop.

The Trading Journal

Built-in trade journaling — because the members who improve fastest are the ones who log everything.

Trade Recap

Log a trade right from the chart — side, strike and expiry for options, entry, exit, size — and the recap self-fills what the chart already knows, so a log takes seconds, not minutes. Real and paper trades both count (marked apart), and futures log the same way. With the Trade recap tool on the left rail, click the entry candle, then the exit candle; the strike and expiry popup fills the option prices.

Notes, tags & grades

Every recap takes free-form notes, your own custom tags, a letter grade, and a chart screenshot — the context that makes a journal worth re-reading.

Stats, calendar & goals

The journal rolls your entries into winrate, P/L (real and paper kept separate), a trading calendar, and weekly views. Set goals — portfolio size, target %, risk % — and the journal tracks you against them. Export everything as CSV any time.

Mentor notes

In the mentorship programs, your mentor reads your journal and leaves notes on specific trades — a cyan badge on the journal button means unread notes are waiting.

Share to Discord

Turn any recap into a share card and post it to the community recap channel in one click — your call whether the $ P/L rides along.

Account & data

Profile menu

Top-left avatar: set your display name and picture, manage billing (update card, invoices, cancel), and grab your referral link — give $25, get $25: friends get $25 off their first month, you get a $25 credit when they subscribe.

Where your keys live

Alpaca and Schwab keys are stored only in your browser and attach only to your own data requests. Use a normal window — private/incognito windows forget keys when closed. If this browser clears site data on exit, a pill says Your keys are live but NOT saved; Fix it shows how to keep them.

Schwab session

Schwab requires a fresh sign-in every 7 days — MomoX3 warns you a day early, and with ⚡ 1-click enabled the reconnect is two clicks: Connect Schwab → approve on Schwab's page, the rest finishes itself (guide). Between sign-ins it refreshes itself silently. The banner says which case you're in: expires within a day (reconnect before the open), expires in <24h (the stream is still live), or weekly sign-in needed, when quotes, chains, ±EM and the scanner's sweep are paused until you reconnect (about 30 seconds).

Devices & sessions

Your subscription covers up to 3 devices actively using the app — signing in on a 4th bumps the oldest. Academy-only sign-ins (reading /learn) never count against the 3. Schwab allows one live connection per app — MomoX3's cloud holds it for you and shares it, so all your devices stream Schwab at the same time; each device just does its own quick 7-day sign-in for its options chains + ±EM. That is what the banner Schwab is already streaming through your cloud connection means: sign in on this device too, and your other devices keep streaming.

Making everything bigger

Use your browser zoom — Cmd/Ctrl + (or the browser menu → Zoom). The whole app scales together, and Chrome remembers the level per site, so set it once for app.momox.io and it sticks. Hi-res monitors also get an automatic boost on the small chart labels out of the box.

Install as an app

MomoX3 is a web app — use your browser's Install / Add to Home Screen and it opens in its own clean window with its own icon, on desktop and mobile alike. Same app, always current.

SAMPLE DATA

The demo tape shown before your keys are connected. Everything works — signals, clouds, dock — but the prices aren't live. Finish setup to go live. The key card carries two short setup videos that play right inside it: Step 1: Connect Alpaca and Step 2: Connect Schwab.

Click your avatar at the top-left for your account and settings. Reload MomoX3 here fetches the newest build.

What is saved where: the Sync switch and Zoom are per device. Tours are remembered per device: Reset tours brings them back on this one.

What it is not: Sign out everywhere ends sessions on your devices. It does not change your subscription.

Banners & pills

The one-line messages that appear over the app, what each means, and the one click that fixes it.

A pill shows only when something needs you. Its button fixes it; the ✕ hides it for now.

What is saved where: a pill you hide stays hidden for this visit (the Discord one for 7 days, on this device).

What it is not: a pill never signs you out or changes anything by itself. Every fix waits for your click.

Keyboard & mouse

Every key and click shortcut in one place, grouped by where you use it.

Start typing a ticker anywhere and press Enter to load it. Alt/Option + ← and → step between charts.

What it is not: no key places a trade. Keys never fire while you are typing in a box.

Replay from 3.205.65x

A finished SPY or QQQ session played back bar by bar, with paper options to practise on. For Ascension members on MomoX3.

Replay plays back a past SPY or QQQ session, exactly as it looked live. Practice only, not live, not advice.

What is saved where: closed paper trades go to your journal as practice · replay. The day loads with your own data keys.

What it is not: not the live chart of that day. Nothing from later in the session shows early, and the fills are a model, not real bids and asks.
