Plain-Language Setup Quality Engine

SteelyStoryTeller

NinjaTrader 8 Indicator · 0–100 Total Quality Score · Four-Pillar Scoring · Self-Contained

Grades every bar's setup on a 0–100 Total Quality Score (TQS) blended from four pillars — context, execution, order flow, and red flags — and surfaces a PRIME BULLISH or PRIME BEARISH signal only when the score, bias, exhaustion and location gates all pass. It also explains the reading in plain language on the chart.

Feature Highlights

What SteelyStoryTeller draws and reports in NinjaTrader 8.

Plain-Language Verdict HUD

The centerpiece. A scaled, positionable panel that reads out the Total Quality Score and narrates the verdict in everyday language each bar — what's working, what's not, and whether the setup qualifies.

PRIME Bullish / Bearish Signals

Directional markers that appear only when the TQS reaches the Prime Threshold and the bias, exhaustion and location gates pass, with a configurable label offset.

Level Mapping

Auto-detected key levels plus your own — opening-range levels from a configurable session window and OR-minutes setting, a proximity tolerance in ticks, and up to three custom price levels with your own labels.

Audio + Flash

Custom PRIME bullish/bearish sounds and an optional flash that tints the HUD verdict row on signal.

Self-Contained

Its own context, execution, order-flow, and red-flag logic; its own session engine for the clock and its own level engine for structure. Nothing else to load, no companion indicators to wire up, no external dependencies.

Reading the Tool

A narrated setup assessment

A four-pillar score with a plain-language explanation of the current reading.

Keep in mind: The score describes configured analytical criteria, not a measured probability of profit.

What It Does

Most "quality score" indicators hand you a value between 0 and 100 and leave you to guess what's driving it. That's not confidence — that's a black box with a paint job.

A score you can't interrogate is a score you can't trust under pressure. SteelyStoryTeller is built backwards from that problem.

The score is assembled from four weighted pillars, and the HUD narrates which pillars are strong, which are dragging, and why the current bar does or doesn't qualify. When a PRIME fires, the score and its explanation can be reviewed together — because the indicator just told the story.

Important Notice: This indicator is a non-customized charting tool provided for educational and informational market analysis only. It highlights conditions that meet proprietary analytical criteria and does not constitute financial advice, trading recommendations, or a solicitation to buy or sell any instrument. All signal output is analytical in nature. Users remain solely responsible for whether, when, and how they trade. Past performance of any analytical method is not indicative of future results. Educational and informational only; not a recommendation to buy or sell.

The Four Pillars

Four Pillars, One Total Quality Score

The 0–100 Total Quality Score is a weighted blend of four independent reads, each with its own internal logic. Each pillar's weight is adjustable, so the engine tilts toward the factors you trust most.

Stage	What It Measures
Context	Day-type confidence, overnight inventory, and the nearest level.
Execution	Opening-drive score and pullback grade; inactive when both are under 50.
Order Flow	Participation and location behind the move, plus a recent absorption shift.
Red Flags	Exhaustion, a stretched or poor location, and other red flags against the setup.

A PRIME signal fires only when every gate passes — and the HUD shows which guardrail held back the ones that come close.

Use Cases

How Traders Use It

For traders who want a quality score they can actually interrogate — and who treat a clear "no" as just as useful as a "yes."

Read the Verdict, Not Just the Number

The HUD narrates the setup in plain English each bar, so the basis for the score is understood before any decision — not guessed at after.

See the Guardrail That Held It Back

When a PRIME comes close but doesn't fire, the panel names which gate failed — score, bias strength, exhaustion, location or cooldown — turning a non-signal into information.

Tilt the Engine to Your Style

Adjustable pillar weights let context, execution, flow, or red flags carry more of the score, so the engine reflects the factors you trust most.

Is SteelyStoryTeller sold on its own?

Yes — $297 one-time as an Advanced-tier indicator. It is also included in the Complete Suite ($1,800, all 12 paid indicators plus the free SteelyNewsPanel and SteelyStructure — $2,362 bought one at a time).

How is it delivered and installed?

Your license key and the download appear at whop.com/steelysystems (sign in with your checkout email), normally within minutes; the Install guide there walks through setup.

How many machines can I use it on?

What does the price include, and what changes on January 1, 2027?

Does SteelyStoryTeller tell me when to trade?

No. Every signal, level, score or panel is an analytical aid, not a trade instruction. The indicator organizes context; the decision, the risk and the outcome are yours. Read the full disclosure before use.

Are custom alert sounds included?

Yes. The Steely Custom Sounds pack is free with every indicator purchase.

Do you use AI?

Yes, heavily, and on purpose. We use leading AI models and our own custom AI tooling in modeling, analysis and development, including the research behind the DI Briefs and Helix. AI doesn't generate trade signals and doesn't place trades. The indicators run rules we designed and can show on your chart. Everything is tested in simulation and in our own trading before it ships.

The Score, and the Reason

SteelyStoryTeller grades every bar across four pillars, gates PRIME on score, bias, exhaustion and location, and narrates the verdict in plain English — so when a signal fires, the score and its explanation can be reviewed together. Not a mystery number; the reason behind it.
