Chart-signal slots and the four signal strategies in the fleet

A slot that trades arrows
A profile with BUY or SHORT ON CHART SIGNAL ticked trades that arrow in its own fleet slot, at the candle's close, or at its own Early percent, with its own exits. The signal row is saved in its profile, so the slot keeps the setting.
One engine per slot
On that side, the slot's breakout and other entries are switched off, so its result is a verdict on the signal setting, and nothing else. The slot's start line in the order log says which engine it runs. Slots on the same tape then differ only by their signal setting.
Four signal strategies
each one an arrow plus a price-action test on its candle. SB Clean Break: a structure break that closes strong, above VWAP and EMA 9, on real volume. TF Trend Rider: a trend flip on a green candle above VWAP, with rising lows.
VWAP and EX9
VWAP Reclaim Hold: the candle after the reclaim holds VWAP, and takes out its high. EX9 Reversal: an exhaustion nine, with a hammer or engulfing candle at the thirty-candle low. Each skips very quiet stocks, and takes at most two entries per stock per day. The two-entry cap counts per stock, per day.
Race them in paper
Put a few of these profiles in the fleet, start it in paper, and let them trade the same arrows on the same stocks. Every decision, taken or refused, is a line in the order log. They are tools to test, not recommendations. Keep these slots in paper until you have read the results. So what you see as an arrow on the chart is what the slot trades.
