Gap Growing Without a Break (MACD below)

Helper filterSHORT

Opens SHORT if, in the last 2 (you decide) candles, the histogram both stayed below the threshold and got more negative on every candle. A single recovery candle breaks the chain. You set both the threshold and the window yourself.

Main criterion or helper filter?

HELPER FILTER — Not suitable as a standalone entry rule: it measures an ongoing STATE, not an event. Holds in 4 of 31 candles in this scenario (13%).

Which conditions is it used with?

You can pick this one alone, or add as many EMA, MACD, Fisher, RSI, VWAP, volume, MTF and BTC Gate conditions next to it as you want. One rule: every requirement you pick must hold ON THE SAME CANDLE — if one holds a candle earlier and the other a candle later, no trade opens. Every condition you add tightens the requirement, it never loosens it.

What does continuity mean?

In a −0.4·−0.3·−0.2·−0.1·−1.6 sequence, only the last candle drops below the threshold — there's no continuity, the condition doesn't hold.

Which settings does it read?

Crossover Window: the chain length — increasing it toughens the condition. Strength (StdDev ×): the depth required on the negative side. Window 1 = only the last candle is checked.

Does this condition close the position?

It only approves the entry; even if the condition breaks afterward, it doesn't close the position. What closes it is your choice: if Profit Lock is on, PNL tracking takes over (while it's on, the Trailing Stop, Take Profit Net, Limit Take Profit Net boxes are locked); if it's off, the numbers you entered in these three are placed as orders on Binance and the position closes from there. DCA Rescuer and Liquidation Shield kick in under their own conditions; and you can always close from the panel with CLOSE or manually from Binance.
