# Cival Manipulation & Pressure Toolkit — Step-by-step tutorial

Release 1.0.0-atas.

## 1. Install both DLLs and add the indicators

Run Install.ps1 with ATAS closed, then add Cival Manipulation and Cival Pressure Toolkit by exact name. A CIVAL MANIPULATION panel appears top-right and a Cival Pressure Toolkit panel top-left.

## 2. Check data status

Manipulation: the panel should leave WARMUP / SCANNING territory only when a range exists, and Recorded flow shows how many bars have usable bid/ask. Pressure Toolkit: the readiness line should begin Active, not Missing bid/ask footprint.

## 3. Read a Manipulation cycle in order

Find a blue range box, then a purple sweep band, then SWEEP / RECLAIM (a closed bar back inside), then a later expansion. A sweep alone is incomplete. Hover the cycle and read the evidence line and invalidation.

## 4. Read the phase labels carefully

Range known · bar N marks when the range became known; the box reaches back for context. 1R and 2R lines exist only after expansion and are reference distances, not targets.

## 5. Read a Pressure Toolkit bubble

A bubble sits at the strongest qualifying row of a closed candle; its number is the aggressive-side volume summed over qualifying rows and the label shows B, S and delta. Strong means that row was large against the previous 20 bars.

## 6. Follow an absorption line

An Absorption? marker leaves a one-tick line from the next bar until the first touch, even by the forming candle. It is a candidate, never confirmed absorption.

## 7. Check the tape and depth lines

The Pressure Toolkit panel's tape line shows whether individual prints loaded and why a bar produced none; depth bars appear only with a live depth feed and hide when stale.
