Arrows, traded

BUY ON CHART SIGNAL and SHORT ON CHART SIGNAL turn the chart's arrows into entries. Tick the row, and pick which signal this side trades: Trend flip, Structure break, VWAP reclaim or loss, or Exhaustion nine.

Where it looks

It trades stocks with a chart window open, the board's top ten, and the stocks you hold, and it needs that side armed: Size, Max pos and Cooldown apply, and every automated-entry gate still runs. It is off at first. The chart you open draws the same levels as the ladder, so you see the plan. Every level is worked out from the last price the desk has seen.

Early percent

Early percent decides when it enters. Zero: when the candle closes. From fifty to ninety-five: that far into the minute, on the candle still forming. Seventy is forty-two seconds in. The forming candle is judged as if it closed at the price of now, with its volume scaled to a whole minute.

The check at the close

At the candle's close, the arrow is worked out again on the closed candle. If it is still there, the trade is kept. If it is gone, the early entry is closed, unless keep if not held is ticked: then it keeps its stop, target and trail.

Exit on the opposite

Exit on opposite signal closes a position, manual or automatic, when the picked signal points the other way on its chart. And every thirty minutes, the order log reports how often the early entries were still held at the close.

Saved in profiles

The whole row is saved with a profile, so a fleet slot can trade it too. That lets you race your own early settings against each other, in paper, on the same tape.
