Step 7: Change to Dark Color Theme

As a subscriber to the Aurora System, we recommend using the dark color theme shown here.
To change to the dark color theme, click on the circle on the top left hand corner of your chart that has the first letter of your TradingView name.
This will open a drop down menu.
Toggle on "Dark Mode".
If you choose to stay with the light color theme, you will need to make adjustments to the individual settings of Adaptive Entry System and Aurora System in order to see the white and grey bars. If you do not know how to do this, it is recommended that you use the dark color theme.

The settings for each indicator will be different. In the Aurora System settings, you are able to change the mode of the indicator (PBA or CXA), the color of the indicator, whether to show the entry and exit signals, and how much time you want to be alerted before the start of the next bar (requires the Next Bar alert to be set as well).

Step 10: Create Multiple Chart Layouts
Step 9 (optional): Change Color of Bollinger Bands
Step 9 (optional): Change Color of Bollinger Bands
To create multiple chart layouts, click the square icon next to the name of your chart.
For NQ, or any 3,5,10 minute chart, we recommend having a 4 chart layout. 1 chart at the top with 3 side by side charts at the bottom. This is the 5th option next to "4" on the layout options.
For CL, or any other time frames, we recommend having a 3 chart layout with 3 charts side by side. This is the 2nd option next to the "3" on the layout options.
Layouts should be done after you have added all your indicators to the first chart. Doing so will then duplicate your chart for the multiple chart layouts.
A TradingView Pro subscription is limited to 2 side by side charts, Pro + is limited to 4 side by side charts.
Step 10 (Continued): Synchronize Charts
Step 10 (Continued): Synchronize Charts
Step 10 (Continued): Synchronize Charts
Choose what to synchronize between chart layouts. Using the same menu as in the last step, choose at the bottom what you would like to sync on those charts. If it is highlighted blue, it will be synced on all charts of the layout simultaneously.
- Symbol will sync the underlying.
- Interval will sync the time interval.
- Crosshair will sync the visual crosshair.
- Time changes the chart behavior to when clicking on a single chart, the others get scrolled to display the same point on time.
- Drawings will replicate drawings on all charts.
To show the Aurora System 1min/3min/5min/10min setup on NQ or the 5min/10min/15min setup on CL, you would sync (highlight blue) Symbol and un-sync (no highlight) Interval. The remaining categories are up to you whether you want them synced.
Step 11: Changing the Symbol
Step 10 (Continued): Synchronize Charts
Step 10 (Continued): Synchronize Charts
To change the symbol for a selected chart in the layout, click on the chart you want to change and start typing the symbol name.
For example, to change to the next contract for NQ, select the chart you want to change. Start typing NQ. As you are typing a window will pop up and you can manually click through the window to find the desired symbol or just finish typing the full symbol name and hit enter.
As long as Symbol is synced on all charts (Step 10). This action will change the symbol for all charts in the layout.
NQ futures contracts change four times a year. Once a quarter, you will need to change to the next contact, so it is important to remember how to do this step.
Step 12: Change the Time Frame
Step 13: Add Custom Time Frames
Step 13: Add Custom Time Frames
To change the time frame for a selected chart in the layout, click the chart that you want to change and start typing the desired time frame.
For the NQ Aurora System setup, click the top most chart, type "1" and hit enter. This will change the top chart to a 1 min chart. Click the left most chart, type "3" and hit enter. This will change the left chart to a 3 min chart. Click on the middle chart, type "5" and hit enter. This will change the middle chart to a 5 min chart. Click on the right chart, type "10" and hit enter. This will change the chart on the right to a 10 min chart.
You can also click on the current time frame on the top left header of the chart to see a drop down menu of available time frames to choose from. Clicking the star on any of those time frames will favorite the time frame and all favorited time frames will show up on the header.
Step 13: Add Custom Time Frames
Step 13: Add Custom Time Frames
Step 13: Add Custom Time Frames

Step 14: Adjust Indicator Pane Heights
Step 14: Adjust Indicator Pane Heights
Step 14: Adjust Indicator Pane Heights

Step 15: Change 5m NQ Aurora to CXA
Step 14: Adjust Indicator Pane Heights
Step 14: Adjust Indicator Pane Heights
You will need to change the mode to CXA for the 5 minute NQ Aurora System indicator on your chart (10m for CL). This can be done in the indicator settings.
To bring up the indicator settings, hover over the Aurora System name on the 5 minute chart. Click the gear icon to access the Aurora System "Settings". This will then display a popup of the Aurora System Settings.
Under "Inputs", click the drop down menu next to "Mode" and choose "CXA." Click "OK" to save and exit the settings.
Step 16: Setting Up the 1 Minute Chart (NQ 1/3/5/10 Only)
Step 16: Setting Up the 1 Minute Chart (NQ 1/3/5/10 Only)
Step 16: Setting Up the 1 Minute Chart (NQ 1/3/5/10 Only)
Due to a TradingView limitation, viewing a higher time frame on a lower time frame only works if the two time frames are divisible by each other. Since a 5 minute chart is not divisible by a 3 minute chart, we must use a 1 minute chart for our standard NQ chart layout.
This is not necessary for a standard CL layout as the 10 and 15 minute chart are divisible by the 5 minute chart.
Only the Aurora PB Trading System is needed on the 1 minute chart. All other indicators can be removed.
Right click on a blank space on the 1 minute chart and choose "Remove Indicators"
Open the Indicators, Strategies, and Metrics window and add the NCTA Aurora PB Trading System by clicking on it under Invite Only Scripts. Don't forget to mark it as a favorite to make adding it easier in the future. (Refer to Steps 4 & 5 above for how to access the indicator menu)
Step 17: Hide 1 Min Price Bars
Step 16: Setting Up the 1 Minute Chart (NQ 1/3/5/10 Only)
Step 16: Setting Up the 1 Minute Chart (NQ 1/3/5/10 Only)
For the NQ 1/3/5/10 minute chart, the 1 minute chart is only used to host the NCTA Aurora PB Trading System indicator. To free up chart space, we recommend hiding the price bars.
This can be done by hovering on a 1 minute price bar, and choosing the up-down arrow that appears on the right hand side of the chart. This will collapse the 1 minute price bars.
Step 18: Setting Alerts
Step 18 (continued): Alert Settings
Step 18 (continued): Alert Settings
One way to create an alert is to select the chart and time frame you want to add the alert to and hover over the word of the indicator that you would like an alert for. This action will bring up icons to the right of the indicator name. Click on the three horizontal dots (More) to access a drop down menu.
Choose "Add Alert" from the top of that drop down menu. This will pull up a window where you can create your alert for that specific indicator on that specific time frame.
The Alert Setup page will show the specific alert settings for each indicator.
Step 18 (continued): Alert Settings
Step 18 (continued): Alert Settings
Step 18 (continued): Alert Settings
On the alert settings window, scroll down and you will see "More Actions." Here is where you can select to have the alert play a sound.
Your sound settings will be saved from alert to alert. If you create an alert with a sound, the next alert will default to also having that same sound.
Due to indicator upgrades, AES is the only NCTA indicator you can customize the message you receive when the alert is triggered. The other NCTA indicators have the messages hard coded in. However, you can edit the Alert Name. This is the name that will show in the alerts log message column.
You only need to create one Next Bar Alert per time frame.
Step 18 (continued): Alert Settings
Step 18 (continued): Alert Settings
Step 18 (continued): Alert Settings
Due to the Next Bar Alert code, there may be a warning popup after you create an alert. You can ignore this warning and click "Continue anyway". The alerts will not repaint, this warning is triggered by the Next Bar alert code in the indicator but can appear on the creation of alerts for AES and Aurora. You can safely click "Continue Anyway" each time this warning pops up.
If you do not want to see this message in the future, check 'Got it".
