A two-minute chart walkthrough of Trend Channel Navigator, a free, open-source TradingView overlay that maps a move as a chain of separate phases instead of forcing one channel across the whole range. The video shows how the Macro and Micro layers, confirmed chart labels and read panel fit together without treating a line, label or score as a forecast.

Key takeaways
- Each confirmed swing-to-swing phase gets its own Macro channel. Older phases remain frozen and dimmed while the active phase stays bright, so the chart preserves where one phase ended and the next began.
- The pivot window adapts to volatility, and the upper and lower walls are built independently. That lets the overlay describe an asymmetric phase without stretching both sides around one outlier.
- The recency-weighted Micro channel is conditional: when its regression fit falls below the configured floor, the tool stops drawing that layer instead of presenting a weak line.
- The 0–100 Entry Score combines four chart observations with creator-chosen weights. It is not backtested, not a probability and not a measured win rate; the panel exposes the components so the number can be read as context rather than a trading instruction.

Trend Channel Navigator is a visual analysis tool. Confirmed labels finalize only after the candle closes, but that does not make them predictive. The tool does not execute trades, and this page is educational content, not financial advice.
