📶 PTR-SNIPER — Signal Panel
PTR-SNIPER requires an active PTR-Tracker license. It adds a proprietary signal engine panel that fires NQ/MNQ entry alerts across 6 classified setup grades (A through F), ranked by conviction level.
| Setup | Conviction Level |
|---|---|
| A-SETUP | Highest — primary signal |
| B-SETUP | High — strong secondary signal |
| C-SETUP | Moderate — confirmed entry |
| D-SETUP | Moderate — filtered entry |
| E-SETUP | Lower — conditional only |
| F-SETUP | Speculative — smallest size |
The specific conditions and parameters behind each setup are proprietary to SniperFlow.ai and not disclosed. The engine is continuously refined with each version update.
Each setup displays BUY, SELL, WATCH, or inactive state. The real-time Signal Log records all timestamped entry and exit events with price levels.
📡 Market Radar
The Market Radar generates a composite edge score from 0–100 using 4 independent proprietary factors. All factors must reach sufficient alignment before the engine considers an entry valid.
| Factor | Output |
|---|---|
| Factor 1 | Scored 0–100 · weighted internally |
| Factor 2 | Scored 0–100 · weighted internally |
| Factor 3 | Scored 0–100 · weighted internally |
| Factor 4 | Scored 0–100 · weighted internally |
The specific inputs, weighting, and thresholds of the Market Radar scoring model are proprietary and not disclosed. Score interpretation is handled automatically by the engine.
🔄 Auto Entries
When Market Radar score exceeds your minimum threshold, the engine fires entries automatically with pre-set stop loss and take profit.
- Min Score — minimum radar score to trigger (default: 75)
- Max Size — max contracts per entry
- Active Setups — choose which setups fire auto entries
- Session Gate — restrict entries to NY session hours
Always run in Test Mode (paper trading) before enabling live auto entries. Verify signal logic matches your strategy.
🔔 Adaptive Trailing Stop
The trailing stop engine adjusts automatically based on internally detected market conditions. The trail distance is not fixed — it expands or contracts based on the engine's proprietary regime classification.
- Regime Display — shows the engine's current market state classification
- Trail Distance — determined automatically; displayed in points
- Locked Profit — shows minimum guaranteed P&L on the open position
The regime detection model and trail calculation methodology are proprietary and not disclosed.
📰 News Filter
Automatically blocks entries during high-impact economic events. Pulls from a live economic calendar feed.
| Impact Level | Blackout Window |
|---|---|
| 🔴 HIGH | Pre-event blackout window — configurable |
| 🟡 MEDIUM | Pre-event blackout window — configurable |
| 🔵 LOW | Pre-event blackout window — configurable |
Auto-Block can be toggled on/off. Passed events show a green PASSED ✓ status.
🛡️ Prop Safe
The Prop Safe gate monitors all tracked accounts in real time. If any account approaches its daily loss limit, the engine halts new entries for that account.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 🟢 CLEAR | Account within safe parameters — engine active |
| 🟡 CAUTION | Daily loss >70% used — engine throttled |
| 🔴 HALTED | Limit breached — engine stopped for this account |
