Unconfirmed Long Signal – This will appear at the bottom of the bar at any point the conditions are met, to enable the ADDTS to take an entry on this signal select “LONG” without the “CONF FILTER”
Confirmed PTC Short Signal – When an Unconfirmed PTC Short Signal bar closes Confirmed the hollow outline of this signal will fill in as a solid color, to enable the ADDTS to take an entry on this signal select “PTC SHORT” with the “CONF FILTER”
Confirmed PTC Long Signal – When an Unconfirmed PTC Long Signal bar closes Confirmed the hollow outline of this signal will fill in as a solid color, to enable the ADDTS to take an entry on this signal select “PTC LONG” with the “CONF FILTER”

Signal Life Cycle:
While in a Bearish Trend (Black Outline) the next signal will be a PTC Long (Magenta Outline) if the price continues to be bullish a Long signal (Aqua Outline) will be formed, if the price reverses to bearish before a Long signal is formed a Short signal will be formed and the outline will return to Black.
While in a Bullish Trend (Aqua Outline) the next signal will be a PTC Short (Magenta Outline) if the price continues to be bearish a Short signal (Black Outline) will be formed, if the price reverses to bullish before a Short signal is formed a Long signal will be formed and the outline will return to Aqua.
When Taking Entries on Unconfirmed Signals it is Recommended to Monitor for the Unconfirmed Signal to Confirm, If a Signal is Unconfirmed and the Bar Closes with the Same Outline Color as the Previous Trend an Opposing Signal May Not be Produced. The Benefit of Using Unconfirmed Signals is that You Gain a Better Entry Price at the Higher Risk of The Signal Not “Confirming”. You can view the same trade as a “Confirmed” entry Here
Unconfirmed Signals may appear anywhere in the current bar when the conditions are met **Note if you arm ADDTS while on a live bar that has a corresponding signal an entry will be taken. You can view the same trade as a “Confirmed” entry Here
Confirmed Signals will appear when an “Unconfirmed” signal bar closes “Confirmed” **Note if you arm ADDTS while on a live bar that has a corresponding signal an entry will be taken, When using “Confirmed” Signals this will be the bar after the signal.
When using a time-based bar like Heiken Ashi it is recommended to use a bar timer so you know exactly when an order will be submitted.
Confirmed Signals will appear when an “Unconfirmed” signal bar closes “Confirmed” **Note if you arm ADDTS while on a live bar that has a corresponding signal an entry will be taken, When using “Confirmed” Signals this will be the bar after the signal.
When using a price-based bar like Orenko it is recommended to use the Orenko Threshold Indicator or similar indicator for other kinds of price-based bars so you know exactly when an order will be submitted
The following example shows a “PTC Long” entry with both TrendFilter and Confirmation Filter, the trade is closed using “ExOP Signal” **Note that the filters and signals also apply to the closing trade, if you want to close on the next unconfirmed opposite signal simply disable the filters**
The following example shows an entry using “Semi-auto” This will take a single entry and revert to default and no more signals will be taken, if you want to reverse on the next opposite signal just re-enable “Semi”. In the example the trade is closed using “Flatten”. If you want to continuously take trades on signals select “Auto” instead.
The following example shows how “QTY Safety” Works, the number of orders is purposefully increased to trigger “QTY Safety” When triggered the trades will automatically be flattened and “Disarm” ADDTS. This is just an added safety measure for whatever reason more orders were submitted than quantified in “QTY”, although order qty errors have never been reported it’s better to be safe than sorry. **Note if you wish to manually add to your position be sure to disable “QTY Safety”**
The following example shows the application of your personal ATM Strategy, select your desired atm from the chart trader drop-down menu and select “ATM” in the ADDTS control panel **Note if you wish for your atm to fully play out use “Semi” if you choose to use “Auto” your position will be reversed on opposite signals.**
