Start from
CheckingChoose conditions made from indicators and dealer positioning below, see where they would have fired on a recorded day, and save the result as your own strategy. Nothing here places an order.
Where the rules would have fired
- Enter: the rules would open a position (an alert)
- Exit: the rules would close it (an alert)
- Green strip: the entry condition holds inside the window
- Grey strip: it holds outside the window
Move over the chart to see which conditions hold at that minute. Only the rules are run: options are not priced, so a profit target or a stop does not show here (a backtest runs those), and nothing here says the strategy makes money.
1. When to open a position
Times are New York time. A condition on something that is not yet known at the start of the window (an average needs minutes of prices) cannot hold until it is known; the page warns you.
2. What to trade
The size cut acts only on a live host with the news poller: in a preview or a backtest there is no news, so it never cuts there (docs/news.md).
3. When to close it
4. In words, and save
Alerts. The entries and exits marked above are what the rules alone would have told you. To be told when it happens live, ask for a paper run of the saved strategy on the strategies page and set the host to alert-only: it then says what it would trade and trades nothing.
