Market Model Framework (MFM) - Light Context HUD (Free)
Overview
MFM is not a trading system, not a signal generator, and not a performance model. It is a structural interpretation framework designed to reveal when markets are coherent and when they are not.
MFM Light Context HUD is the free version of the Market Framework Model. It gives you a fast and clean view of the current market regime and phase without signals or chart noise. The HUD shows whether the asset is in a bullish or bearish environment and whether it is in a volatile, compression, drift, or neutral phase. This helps you read structure at a glance.
Asset availability
The free version works only on a selected list of five assets.
Supported symbols are
- SP:SPX
- TVC:GOLD
- BINANCE:BTCUSD
- BINANCE:ETHUSDT
- OANDA:EURUSD
All other assets show a context banner only.
How it works
The free version uses fixed settings based on the original MFM model. It calculates the regime using a higher timeframe RSI ratio and identifies the current phase using simplified momentum conditions. The chart stays clean. Only a small HUD appears in the top corner. Full visual phases, ratio logic, signals, and auto tune are part of the paid version.
The free version shows the phase name only. It does not display colored phase zones on the chart.
Phase meaning
The Market Framework Model uses four structural phases to describe how the market behaves. These are not signals but context layers that show the underlying environment.
- Volatile (Phase 1)
- The market is in a fast, unstable or directional environment. Price can move aggressively with stronger momentum swings.
- Compression (Phase 2)
- The market is in a contracting state. Momentum slows and volatility decreases. This phase often appears before expansion, but it does not predict direction.
- Drift (Phase 3)
- The market moves in a more controlled, persistent manner. Trends are cleaner and volatility is lower compared to volatile phases.
- No phase
- No clear structural condition is active.
These phases describe market structure, not trade entries. They help you understand the conditions you are trading in.
Cross asset context
The Market Framework Model reads markets as a multi layer system. The full version includes cross asset analysis to show whether the asset is acting as a leader or lagger relative to its benchmark. The free version uses the same internal benchmark logic for regime detection but does not display the cross asset layer on the chart.
Cross asset structure is a core part of the MFM model and is fully available in the paid version.
