# AlgoPro EvoX ## AlgoPro EvoX — USER GUIDE > **What it is:** AlgoPro EvoX is a TradingView **strategy engine** that turns many professional‑grade signals into one coherent, rules‑based workflow. It listens for multiple market conditions, counts **confluence**, runs your **entry filters**, sizes the order, manages **TP/SL and trailing**, applies **risk/session rules**, and (optionally) emits **automation‑ready alerts**. The same logic you backtest is the logic you can route to execution — transparent, modular, and consistent.
#### Why EvoX is powerful (especially for **Futures** & **Prop‑Firm** trading) * **Futures‑native precision** — tick‑based **TP/SL**, tick‑spaced **DCA**, contracts‑based sizing, and session‑aware flattening fit how index, energy, and rates futures actually trade. * **Prop‑firm rule alignment** — built‑in **Daily Drawdown Limit**, **Daily Profit Target**, **Max Consecutive Losses**, **Win Halt**, **Time Filters**, and **Close All Trades at End of Session** help you stay inside evaluation rules and protect funded accounts — automatically. * **Noise reduction via confluence** — you choose which signals count and how many must agree (**Signal Confluence**) within a bar window. This curbs single‑indicator false starts and adapts to different styles (breakout, trend, mean reversion). * **Gatekeeping when it matters** — **Trend**, **Session VWAP**, **Volume**, **Range Breakout**, **MA**, and **RSI** filters ensure entries only happen in your preferred context. * **Automation‑ready by design** — alerts use `{{strategy.order.alert_message}}` so your webhook receives consistent **Open/Close** payloads (with live quantity), whether you use preset JSON or your own message format. * **Volatility‑aware controls** — **Enable Session Size Adjustment** can cut size or halt trading after outsized moves; **Trailing TP** and **Enable Trailing SL** adapt exits to changing pace. * **Consistency across markets/timeframes** — one ruleset, many instruments. Futures benefit from the strict timing tools and tick logic; the framework remains consistent for indices, metals, energies, and micros. * **Transparent & testable** — Strategy Tester shows exactly how rules behave. No black boxes; every control is visible in the Inputs panel and documented here. * **Discipline support** — tools like **Win Halt** and **Wait X Candles Before Another Trade** rein in over‑trading; **Close on Opposite Signal** helps cut bias when conditions flip. > **In one sentence:** EvoX gives you institutional‑style **consistency, control, and risk discipline** — the combination prop firms value most — while staying flexible enough to match your futures playbook. *EvoX is a research and automation tool. Nothing here is financial advice; markets involve risk.* *** ### 1) How EvoX Operates 1. **Signal modules** generate long/short readiness (e.g., Divergence, Liquidity Grab, Squeeze Momentum). 2. **Confluence** counts how many enabled modules agree **within your “Wait X Candles for Confluence” window**. If the count meets **“Signal Confluence”** and the side is enabled, the setup qualifies. 3. **Signal Filters** must pass (MA/VWAP/Trend/Volume/Breakout/RSI). 4. **Entry & Sizing** uses your **“ORDER SIZE MANAGER”** settings. 5. **Position Management** uses **“TP/SL MANAGER”** (fixed and trailing logic) and optional DCA/Martingale. 6. **Risk & Session** rules can flatten/halt per **“RISK MANAGER”** and **“SESSION MANAGER”**. 7. **Alerts** send JSON/text via **“TRADE AUTOMATION COMMANDS”.** *** ### 2) TRADE AUTOMATION COMMANDS
**Purpose:** Decide what message gets sent when EvoX opens/closes a trade. * **Use Preset JSON Alerts** — Default JSON alerts are set for TradersPost to Tradovate.\ \ If ON, EvoX sends built‑in JSON for entries/exits:\ • **Open Long** → `{ "ticker": "{{ticker}}", "action": "buy", "quantity": "{{strategy.order.contracts}}" }`\ • **Open Short** → `{ "ticker": "{{ticker}}", "action": "sell", "quantity": "{{strategy.order.contracts}}" }`\ • **Close Long / Close Short** → `{ "ticker": "{{ticker}}", "action": "exit" }` * **Open Long Command / Open Short Command / Close Long Command / Close Short Command** — custom text you want sent instead of the presets. * **How to deliver the message:** In your TradingView alert, set **Message** to `{{strategy.order.alert_message}}`. EvoX fills this with either the Preset JSON or your custom command for the event that fired. **Events:** Open Long, Open Short, Close Long (flatten long), Close Short (flatten short). Quantity reflects the live **strategy order contracts** at the moment of trigger. *** ### 3) ORDER SIZE MANAGER
**Purpose:** Control how many contracts/shares the strategy orders. * **Order Size Mode** — choose **Equity**, **Contracts**, or **USD**. * **Equity % of Account** — used when **Equity** is selected. * **Base Contracts** — fixed count when **Contracts** is selected. * **USD Size** — fixed notional when **USD** is selected. *Notes:* Size mode applies to initial entries and DCA adds (within your DCA rules and caps). If you automate via webhooks, ensure your execution platform supports Equity%/USD semantics. *** ### 4) SIGNAL SETUP
**Purpose:** Turn sides on/off and define confluence strictness. * **Enable Long / Enable Short** — master side toggles. * **Signal Confluence** — how many enabled signals must agree to allow an entry. * **Wait X Candles for Confluence** — the bar window in which those confirmations must occur. * **Wait X Candles Before Another Trade** — cooldown after a trade closes. (Confluence applies to **initial entries**. DCA can reuse this or run its own confluence; see DCA.) *** ### 5) INCLUDE IN CONFLUENCE SIGNALS
**Purpose:** Choose which modules contribute to the confluence count. Toggle any of the following ON/OFF for inclusion:\ **Divergence • Liquidity Grab • Volume Exhaustion • Price Exhaustion • Stochastic • Average True Range • KDE RSI • Williams R% • WaveTrend • V3 Oscillator • Squeeze Momentum • MA Oscillator • Heikin Reversion • Linear Regression • Volume RSI • Awesome Oscillator • Volume Pressure**. *How it counts:* When ON, a module adds a “green” toward **Signal Confluence** if its condition occurs within your **Wait X Candles for Confluence** window. *** ### 6) SIGNAL FILTERS
**Purpose:** Filters do **not** add to confluence; they are pass/fail conditions for entries (and the Primary DCA, where specified). #### 6.1 **Filter by Volume** * **Volume Length** — lookback for average volume. * **Volume Multiplier** — required multiple of average volume. #### 6.2 **Filter by Trend** * **Close Trade on Trend Change** — if ON, close when price crosses the baseline. * **Trend Length** — smoothing length for the internal baseline. #### 6.3 **Filter by Session VWAP** * **Close on VWAP Cross** — if ON, close when price crosses session VWAP against the position. #### 6.4 **Filter by Range Breakout** * **Breakout Sensitivity** — lower values accept weaker breakouts; uses an internal short window for detection. #### 6.5 **MA Filter** * **Filter by Moving Average** — enables the gate. * **MA Timeframe / MA Length / MA Type (SMA/EMA)** — longs allowed only if price is **above** the MA; shorts only if **below**. #### 6.6 **Filter by RSI** * **RSI Length / RSI Oversold Level / RSI Overbought Level** — gate entries based on RSI extremes. > **Note:** Signal Filters apply to **initial entries** and **Primary DCA**. **Custom DCA** uses its own confluence and ignores these filters unless you design it otherwise. *** ### 7) DCA & MARTINGALE MANAGER
#### 7.1 **ＤＣＡ ＭＡＮＡＧＥＲ** (add to an open position) * **Enable DCA** — master toggle. * **Use Primary Signal for DCA Orders** — reuses the main confluence/window. * **Use Custom Signal for DCA Orders** — enables separate **Custom Confluence** with:\ • **Custom Signal Confluence for DCA**\ • **Wait X Candles for DCA Confluence Signals** * **Tick Move Filter / Ticks Between Fills** — require a minimum adverse move before adding. * **Bars Between Fills Filter / Bars Between Fills** — require elapsed bars between adds. * **Enable Tick Move Auto‑DCA / DCA Trigger (Ticks)** — auto add after X ticks. * **Enable Bar Count Auto‑DCA / DCA Trigger (Bars)** — auto add after X bars. * **DCA Size Mode / DCA Size** — choose **Add** or **Multiply** and the increment. * **Max DCA Orders / Max DCA Contracts** — hard caps on number of adds and total size from DCA.
#### 7.2 **ＭＡＲＴＩＮＧＡＬＥ ＭＡＮＡＧＥＲ** (adjust next trade’s base size after a loss) * **Enable Martingale** — master toggle. * **Martingale Mode / Martingale Value** — **Add** or **Multiply** the base size for the next trade. * **Max Martingale Add Contracts / Max Martingale Multiplier** — hard safety caps. *** ### 8) TAKE PROFIT / STOP LOSS MANAGER
#### 8.1 **Fixed TP/SL** * **Enable TP / SL** — master toggle; **Show TP / Show SL** visualize zones. * **Take Profit Style / Stop Loss Style** — **Ticks** or **Percent**. * **TP (Ticks) / TP (%)** and **SL (Ticks) / SL (%)** — distances. * **SL Anchor** — **Initial** (from first entry) or **Average** (updates with DCA). #### 8.2 **Trailing TP** * **Enable Trailing TP / Trail Speed (Ticks Per Bar)** — speed of TP trailing toward price. * **Trail Style** — **Trail to Entry** (stops at break‑even) or **Constant Trail** (can trail past entry). * **Trail Anchor** — **Entry Price** or **Avg Price**. * **Enable Trailing After TP Hit / Trail Distance After TP Hit (Ticks)** — switch to a trailing stop once initial TP is hit. #### 8.3 **Enable Trailing SL** (High/Low) * **Trail SL Lookback** — swing lookback. * **Trail SL Speed** — decrement speed toward swings. #### 8.4 **Additional Exit Controls** * **Close on Opposite Signal** — exit if the opposite side later qualifies. * **Close on Trend Change** — from **Filter by Trend**. * **Close on VWAP Cross** — from **Filter by Session VWAP**. *** ### 9) SESSION MANAGER
* **Close All Trades at End of Session** — set **Session End Hour / Minute**. * **Enable Time Filter** — restrict trading to **Start Hour / Minute** through **End Hour / Minute**. *** ### 10) RISK MANAGER
* **Close on Opposite Signal** — optional safety exit. * **Enable Daily Drawdown Limit / Max Daily Drawdown ($)** — flatten & halt for the day on breach. * **Enable Daily Profit Target / Daily Profit Target ($)** — secure gains; halt for the day. * **Enable Max Consecutive Losses / Max Consecutive Losses** — stop after N losses. * **Enable Win Halt / Stop Daily Trading if Win in this Period** — if any win occurs within the window, halt new entries for that session. *** ### 11) VOLATILITY SIZE ADJUST
* **Enable Session Size Adjustment** — monitor a **Session Window** for outsized moves. * **Price Move Threshold (%) / Move Within X Bars** — if exceeded, trigger the action. * **Contracts After Threshold** — reduce position size after trigger. * **Halt Trading & Close All on Threshold** — optional immediate flatten + halt. *** *** ### 12) Interactions & Precedence * **Filters first:** If a filter fails, no entry even if **Signal Confluence** is met. * **Primary vs Custom DCA:** Filters apply to initial entries and **Use Primary Signal for DCA Orders**; **Use Custom Signal for DCA Orders** runs off its own confluence and does not use the filters listed under **► ＳＩＧＮＡＬ ＦＩＬＴＥＲＳ ◄**. * **Opposite‑Signal exits:** If **Close on Opposite Signal** is ON, qualifying opposite confluence can exit early. * **Trailing logic:** **Trail to Entry** stops at break‑even; **Constant Trail** can pass through entry. **Enable Trailing SL** follows recent swings. * **Caps always enforced:** **Max DCA Orders / Max DCA Contracts** and Martingale caps are hard limits. * **Cooldown honored:** No new trades until **Wait X Candles Before Another Trade** completes. * **Session End honored:** **Close All Trades at End of Session** flattens at the time you set. *** ### 13) Backtesting & Alerts (What you’ll see) * **Strategy Tester** shows performance metrics and a trade list reflecting TP/SL, trailing, DCA adds, and any risk/session exits. * **Alert message token:** use `{{strategy.order.alert_message}}` in TradingView alerts so the correct JSON/custom command is sent for Open/Close events with live quantity. *** ### 14) Integration Notes * Preset JSON payloads contain `ticker`, `action` (`buy`/`sell`/`exit`), and `quantity` from the current strategy order. * If you use **Open/Close Command** fields, those strings are sent instead of the presets. * Create only the alerts you intend to automate; ensure your receiving endpoint handles duplicates idempotently. *** ### 15) Limitations & Considerations * **Symbol/quantity mapping** must match your broker/automation platform. * **Equity / USD modes** require platform support; otherwise prefer **Contracts** for automation. * **MA Filter** computes on the **MA Timeframe** you select; behavior depends on bar closes. * **Market quality** matters (thin volume can affect signals). * **Chart time zone** controls Session times. *** ### 16) Glossary (UI‑aligned) * **Signal Confluence** — number of enabled signals that must agree within **Wait X Candles for Confluence**. * **Signal Filters** — pass/fail requirements for entries (and Primary DCA). * **DCA** — adds to an open position using **ＤＣＡ ＭＡＮＡＧＥＲ** rules. * **Martingale** — adjusts the **next** trade’s base size using **ＭＡＲＴＩＮＧＡＬＥ ＭＡＮＡＧＥＲ**. * **TP/SL** — Take‑Profit / Stop‑Loss distances and anchors in **ＴＰ ／ ＳＬ ＭＡＮＡＧＥＲ**. * **Trail to Entry / Constant Trail** — TP trailing behaviors. * **Enable Trailing SL** — swing‑based SL tracking. * **Cooldown** — **Wait X Candles Before Another Trade**. *** --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
