# Edge Rule Center

> [!NOTE]
>
> This screen is part of the Vole Bot package.

Nothing on this page places an order. Edge Rule Center is where you review, approve, or retire the rules that Edge research has surfaced — or that you've added yourself. Every rule here only watches and records what it would have done; the one action that lets a rule actually affect live trading is promoting it into the **Pro Exit Catalog**, which is a separate, deliberate step taken from a candidate's detail panel (see below).

## A rule's stages

Rules move through four tabs:

* **Candidates** — patterns Edge has found, or ones you've defined, waiting for a decision.
* **Sandbox** — a trial period where a rule is watched closely before you decide whether to keep it.
* **Active** — approved rules. Even here, a rule only records what it would do; it doesn't change an order by itself.
* **Retired** — rules no longer in use, kept on record.

## Reviewing a rule

Selecting a rule shows its condition written in plain language, the action it's set to take, a short recent history of when it has fired, and a log of every status change it's been through. From here you can move a rule forward, pause it, or retire it.

## Deciding on a candidate

Each candidate is described in plain language, along with a verdict — whether turning it into a rule would likely have helped, hurt, or whether there simply isn't enough evidence yet — and a short summary of what it would have changed historically. From there, you can move a promising candidate into a trial, set it aside for later, or dismiss it.

## Promoting to Pro Exit

The **Promote to Pro Exit** button appears in a candidate's detail panel on the **Candidates** tab, and only for a strong candidate: its tier reads T1 and **Walk-forward stable** reads Yes (the pattern also held up when checked against later trades). Rules already in Sandbox, Active, or Retired don't offer it.

Promoting adds the rule to the [Pro Exit Catalog](https://help.vole.bot/en/execution-rules/pro-exit-catalog.md), where it becomes a selectable module in any [Execution Policy](https://help.vole.bot/en/execution-rules/execution-policies.md) — the same way a hand-built module is.

Promotion is limited to Vole Bot administrators. On a member account the request is declined.
