From 697a377cb2e45542c75a53c0b4b2b9f8f953040a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: mindesbunister Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2025 20:25:34 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] feat: Revenge system timing improvements - candle close confirmation MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit PROBLEM IDENTIFIED (Nov 26, 2025): - User's chart showed massive move $136 → $144.50 (+$530 potential) - Revenge would have entered immediately at $136.32 (original entry) - But price bounced to $137.50 FIRST (retest) - Would have stopped out AGAIN at $137.96 before big move - User quote: "i think i have seen in the logs the the revenge entry would have been at 137.5, which would have stopped us out again" ROOT CAUSE: - OLD: Enter immediately when price crosses entry (wick-based) - Problem: Wicks get retested, entering too early = double loss - User was RIGHT about ATR bands: "i think atr bands are no good for this kind of stuff" - ATR measures volatility, not support/resistance levels SOLUTION IMPLEMENTED: - NEW: Require price to STAY below/above entry for 60+ seconds - Simulates "candle close" confirmation without TradingView data - Prevents entering on wicks that bounce back - Tracks time in revenge zone, resets if price leaves TECHNICAL DETAILS: 1. Track firstCrossTime when price enters revenge zone 2. Update highest/lowest price while in zone 3. Require 60+ seconds sustained move before entry 4. Reset timer if price bounces back out 5. Logs show: "⏱️ X s in zone (need 60s)" progress EXPECTED BEHAVIOR (Nov 26 scenario): - OLD: Enter $136.32 → Stop $137.96 → Bounce to $137.50 → LOSS - NEW: Wait for 60s confirmation → Enter safely after retest FILES CHANGED: -
