→ SELL sign seems, TP/SL monitoring begins
Monday 14:00 — Worth rises, system detects new BUY
→ Reverse Filter checks: “Is a SELL lively?”
→ Sure! → BUY is BLOCKED
Monday 18:00 — SELL hits TP, closes (standing: HIT_TP)
→ No extra lively SELL sign
Tuesday 09:00 — System detects new BUY
→ Reverse Filter checks: “Is a SELL lively?”
→ No! → BUY is ACCEPTED and displayed

6. Utilization ideas
Tip 1: Use defaults when you’re simply beginning
All three indicators have Allow = true by default — that is the really helpful setting. Solely disable you probably have a selected motive (for instance, to see all indicators for analysis).
Tip 2: Allow Present blocked markers when analyzing historical past
While you scroll the chart into the previous to be taught from previous information, allow Present blocked sign markers = true . You may see the entire image — which indicators have been accepted, which have been rejected and why.
Tip 3: Mix with early commerce closing self-discipline
This filter encourages you to shut previous indicators when the market clearly modifications path. In case your SELL does not hit TP/SL however the market begins rising strongly — manually shut the SELL sign (if the indicator helps it) to “unlock” the filter for brand new BUY indicators.
