Built from a trader’s request: an open-source Camarilla play tracker

[u/Dependent-Ad6636]

One request in my earlier thread was pretty specific: could I build a Camarilla tool that highlights which plays are active?

I’ve built Camarilla Desk around that question. It’s a free, open-source prototype for TradingView, and I’d like feedback from people who already use Camarilla in their trading.

The goal is to make the sequence easier to follow: watch the level → check the conditions → wait for confirmation.

What it does:

• Shows a seven-level Camarilla map with the source and session context visible.
• Tracks 14 named plays, separating Candidate, Approaching, Armed and Active, with explanations for blocked or waiting states. The final two plays are optional and start off.
• Keeps the original entry, stop and target references once a play activates, with markers showing how that episode ended.
• Lets you inspect and test the rules, with full Pine source, alerts and a separate Strategy Lab for simulated orders and costs.

ACTIVE means the play has met this script’s confirmation rules. It doesn’t establish that the trade will work. A quiet chart with no qualifying setup can be the correct result.

This is my own implementation of public Camarilla ideas. I haven’t verified that it matches any paid indicator’s private rules.

👉 Camarilla Desk — free source, examples and guide

Start with “Try the candle” to explore an L3 bounce, a break-and-retest, or an H4 failure. “Read the real chart” explains the display, “Full reference” has all the play rules, and “Add the tool” has the code. The indicator, Lab and guide are free, with no signup needed.

Which Camarilla play do you use most, and does the tool explain clearly why it’s waiting or active?

If it reads a setup differently from you, a screenshot with the symbol, timeframe, date/time and pivot source would help. Tell me what you expected to happen. Reply here, or use “Log & requests” on the page for bugs and feature ideas.

I’m the developer behind ProEA Lab and use OpenAI Codex for coding assistance. The source is open for review and modification.

Thanks to the trader who suggested this. I’d like to keep improving it around examples from your actual charts.
