This screen is part of the Vole Bot package.
Two groups
The catalog splits into two tables:- Core mechanism — the built-in exit mechanism, such as Starting Stop Loss, Take Profit, and Chandelier Trailing Stop (ATR). You set these in the policy form’s Stop Loss and Take Profit settings, not from this list; see Exit Rules. The two plain trailing-stop rows, Percentage Trailing Stop and Trailing Stop (ATR), are listed for reference only; to trail a stop, choose the ATR Trailing (Chandelier) mode in the policy’s Stop Loss section. Wait Before Entering is the one row in this table that you do switch on from a policy’s Pro Exit Modules list; see Entry Monitor for the signals it holds.
- Rules — the modules you can individually switch on in a policy’s Pro Exit Modules list, such as the pre-entry filters, position modifiers, and exit triggers described in Execution Policies.
Reading a row
Each row names the module, the category it belongs to (pre-entry filter, position modifier, or exit trigger), and where it came from — hand-built (Manual), promoted from Edge research (Edge), or added by an operator (Operator). A version marker shows that a module can be revised over time. You can filter the Rules table by source, and optionally show modules that have since been retired. On an Edge or Operator row, hovering over or selecting the source badge shows where the rule came from. The Promotion / Retire Audit Log below the tables is one list for the whole catalog, newest first, showing which rules were promoted or retired and when. Ensemble Exit Score is temporarily switched off for everyone while it is redesigned. It is not offered on the policy and instance forms, and it does not close any trade for now.What the main modules do
These are the modules whose behavior is worth knowing before you tick them. Each one has its own page with the full detail, a worked example and a picture. The exact boxes and options are the ones you see on the module’s row in a policy.- Heikin Ashi Reversal Close closes the trade after the number of Heikin Ashi candles you choose have turned against your position in a row, each with a large enough body. It reads the same Heikin Ashi candles you see on the chart. A stop that the candle has already hit takes priority over it; see Exit Rules.
- Time-based Stop Loss Tightening pulls your stop closer to your entry if the trade has not made enough profit after a number of candles. It counts only whole candles the trade was open for, acts once, and never widens the stop. The tighter stop takes effect from the next candle, never on the candle that has just closed. If the market has already moved past the new stop by then, the position is closed at market.
- Close on a Trend Reversal closes the trade when the trend turns against you: the moving averages cross against you, the directional indicators flip against you with enough trend strength, or either one. You can require a minimum profit before it may close a trade.
- Close When the Signal Goes Neutral closes the trade when your strategy stops signalling either direction and goes flat.
- Close on Reverse Signal closes the trade as soon as your strategy signals the other direction. On the forms it is the Reverse Signal Behavior choice, not a tick box.
- Volume Spike Rule reacts to a candle whose volume is far above its recent average, and What a spike does decides how. It can close an open trade when a spike runs against it, skip a new trade when the signal candle is a spike, or skip a new trade unless the signal candle is one.
- Skip Spike-and-Fade Signals judges the signal candle, meaning the candle the signal came from, and skips the trade when that candle has a long wick against your direction and a small body. A signal it turns away appears in Entry Monitor as Refused.
- Wait Before Entering holds a new signal, rechecks the market every 30 seconds, and places the order only when your conditions are met. It is explained on the Entry Monitor page and works only with Bar Close entry timing. The forms refuse to save it with any other entry timing.
