🔥 CandleShockGuardian PRO v3.0

Institutional-Grade Anomalous Candle Detection with Adaptive AI Engine

📌 OVERVIEW

CandleShockGuardian PRO is an advanced algorithmic trading system for cTrader that detects anomalous candles — candles significantly larger than recent market behavior — and converts them into high-probability trade signals through a multi-layer filtering and scoring engine.

Unlike simple candle-size bots, CandleShockGuardian PRO applies 7 independent layers of validation before every trade: trend alignment, market regime detection, candle quality analysis, session filtering, spread control, multi-timeframe confirmation, and an AI-powered signal scoring system that learns from the bot's own trade history.

The result is a system that trades less but trades better, focusing exclusively on the highest-quality setups.

⚡ KEY FEATURES

🕯️ Anomalous Candle Detection

Identifies candles that exceed the rolling average by a configurable multiplier. Detection can use the full range (High–Low) or just the body (Open–Close). A minimum candle size filter in pips prevents noise trades during low-volatility periods.

🔄 Dual Strategy Modes

In SunshineMode, the bot trades in the candle's direction (momentum continuation). In DoomsdayMode, it trades against it (mean-reversion/fade). This makes the system adaptable to completely different market conditions and trading philosophies.

📊 Market Regime Detection

The bot classifies current market conditions into five states — Trending Strong, Trending Weak, Ranging, Volatile, and Quiet — using an ATR ratio (short vs long) combined with ADX. You can enable or disable trading in each regime independently.

📐 ATR-Based Adaptive SL/TP

Stop Loss and Take Profit levels are calculated dynamically from the current ATR, ensuring your risk parameters scale with market volatility. A tight market gets tight stops; a volatile market gets wide stops. Floor and ceiling values in pips prevent extremes.

🧠 AI Signal Scoring (0–100)

Every signal passes through a weighted multi-factor scoring engine that evaluates: anomaly strength, trend alignment quality, market regime favorability, candle quality (body/wick ratio), spread conditions, historical performance at the current hour, and rolling win rate. Only signals above the minimum score threshold are executed.

📈 Self-Learning Performance Engine

The bot tracks every trade and builds statistical profiles by hour of day and by market regime. Over time, the scoring system automatically becomes more selective, avoiding hours and conditions where the strategy historically underperforms.

🕐 Session Filter

Restrict trading to the market sessions where your strategy works best: Asian, London, London–New York Overlap, New York, or Off-Hours. Includes automatic Friday evening cutoff and Sunday open delay to avoid weekend gaps and thin liquidity.

💹 Spread Filter

Blocks trade entry when the spread exceeds a fixed pip threshold or a dynamic ATR percentage. Prevents poor fills during news events, low liquidity hours, or broker spread widening.

🛡️ Daily Limits & Cooldown

Configurable maximum trades per day, maximum losses per day, and an automatic cooldown period triggered after consecutive losses. Protects capital from drawdown spirals and emotional overtrading.

🕯️ Candle Quality Filter

Evaluates the anatomical quality of the anomalous candle: minimum body-to-range percentage, maximum upper wick, and maximum lower wick. Ensures the bot only trades on candles showing genuine directional commitment, not indecision dojis with large shadows.

📊 Multi-Timeframe Confirmation

Optional higher-timeframe trend filter using a configurable EMA. Long entries are only allowed when the HTF is bullish; short entries when bearish. Supports all standard cTrader timeframes.

💰 Partial Take Profit

Automatically closes a percentage of the position at an intermediate TP level (TP1), then moves the stop loss to breakeven on the remaining portion. Locks in profit early while letting the rest of the trade run to full TP.

📉 ATR-Based Trailing Stop

The trailing stop can operate in fixed-pip mode or ATR-based mode, where the trailing distance adapts to current volatility. Prevents being stopped out by normal market noise in volatile conditions.

🏦 Prop Firm Guard

Built-in drawdown protection system with three independent kill switches: Daily Drawdown, Total Drawdown, and Equity Drawdown from Peak. Configurable scope (this bot only or entire account), with optional auto-resume after daily DD on new trading day.

🤖 External AI — Connect to Your Own Local Scripts

CandleShockGuardian PRO includes a built-in module that connects to any script or program running locally on your machine. Before every trade, the bot automatically sends all signal data — symbol, timeframe, direction, score, market regime, ATR, ADX, spread, and hour — to your local script, and receives a real-time approve/reject decision with a confidence level.

This opens unlimited possibilities. Your local script can do anything that isn't possible inside cTrader's sandboxed environment. Here are some real-world examples of what your script can do:

📌 News & Sentiment Filter — Your script checks an economic calendar API (e.g. Forex Factory, Investing and automatically blocks trades 30 minutes before and after high-impact news events like NFP, CPI, or FOMC decisions.

📌 Multi-Asset Correlation — For XAUUSD traders: your script monitors DXY (Dollar Index), US10Y (Treasury yields), and SPX in real time. If the dollar is strengthening while the bot wants to go long on gold, the script vetoes the trade.

📌 Machine Learning Prediction — Your script runs a trained TensorFlow or PyTorch model that analyzes the last 100 candles, volume profile, and order flow proxy to predict the probability of the next move. Only trades with >70% model confidence get approved.

📌 Sentiment Analysis — Your script scrapes Twitter/X, Reddit, or financial news feeds for mentions of your instrument, runs NLP sentiment analysis, and only approves trades when market sentiment aligns with the signal direction.

📌 Multi-Bot Coordination — If you run multiple bots on the same account, your script tracks total exposure across all bots, correlations between open positions, and aggregate drawdown — blocking new trades when overall risk is too high.

📌 Custom Indicator Logic — Your script calculates indicators not available in cTrader (Hurst exponent, fractal dimension, VWAP, order flow imbalance, market microstructure metrics) and uses them as additional filters.

📌 Time-of-Day Optimization — Your script analyzes your historical trade database, identifies the exact hours and days of the week where your strategy performs best, and only approves trades during those optimal windows.

The script can be written in any language — Python, Node.js, C#, Go, Rust, or anything else that can serve HTTP. It runs entirely on your computer, your data stays private, and communication happens locally with minimal latency.

💡 Our team is available to develop custom scripts on request for any specific need. Whether you need an AI model, a news filter, a correlation engine, or any other integration — contact us and we'll build it for you.

The module uses cTrader's native Http interface and works with AccessRights.None — no special permissions required.

🖥️ Professional On-Chart HUD

Real-time overlay showing: current session, spread, market regime, ADX, ATR, signal score, SL level, win rate (total + rolling), profit factor, daily trade/loss counters, consecutive losses, cooldown timer, API status, and the reason for the last rejected signal.

⚙️ HOW IT WORKS

1. On every bar close, the bot measures the candle size (range or body) and compares it to the rolling average of the last N candles.

2. If the candle exceeds the average × multiplier, it becomes an anomaly candidate.

3. The candidate passes through up to 10 independent filters: session, daily limits, cooldown, regime, spread, position limits, candle quality, trend alignment, MTF confirmation, and signal scoring.

4. If all filters pass, the signal is optionally validated by the local AI script running on your computer (if enabled).

5. The position is opened with ATR-adaptive (or fixed) SL/TP and volume sized by risk percentage (or fixed lots).

6. Once open, the position is managed by the break-even system, trailing stop, partial take profit, and time exit.

7. On close, the performance engine records the result and updates hourly and regime-based statistics, which feed back into the scoring system.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📁 01 — STRATEGY

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🔹 Bot Label (default: CandleShockPRO)

Unique identifier used to tag all positions opened by this bot instance. Use different labels when running multiple instances on the same symbol to prevent interference.

🔹 Strategy Mood (default: SunshineMode)

Determines how the anomalous candle direction is interpreted. SunshineMode: trades in the candle's direction (bullish candle → buy, bearish → sell) — momentum/continuation strategy. DoomsdayMode: trades against the candle direction (bullish candle → sell, bearish → buy) — mean-reversion/fade strategy.

🔹 Enable Long (default: true)

Allow the bot to open Buy positions. Set to false to restrict the bot to short trades only.

🔹 Enable Short (default: true)

Allow the bot to open Sell positions. Set to false to restrict the bot to long trades only.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🕯️ 02 — SIGNAL (ANOMALOUS CANDLE)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🔹 Measure (default: Range)

What to measure on each candle. Range = High minus Low (full candle size including wicks). Body = absolute value of Close minus Open (only the solid part). Range is more conservative; Body is more aggressive.

🔹 Lookback N (default: 20)

Number of preceding candles used to calculate the rolling average candle size. Smaller values (e.g. 10) make the bot more reactive to recent volatility changes. Larger values (e.g. 50) provide a more stable reference.

🔹 Multiplier (default: 1.8)

The anomaly threshold. A candle must be at least Multiplier × the rolling average to be considered anomalous. At 1.8×, a candle needs to be 80% larger than the average. Lower values (1.3–1.5) generate more signals; higher values (2.0–3.0) are more selective.

🔹 Min Candle pips (default: 10)

Absolute minimum candle size in pips. Candles smaller than this are always ignored, regardless of the multiplier. Prevents trading on tiny anomalies during very quiet periods. Set to 0 to disable.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📈 03 — TREND FILTER

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🔹 Trend Filter Enabled (default: true)

Master switch. When enabled, trades are only allowed in the direction of the EMA-based trend. Buys require Fast EMA above Slow EMA; sells require the opposite.

🔹 Trend Phase (default: Either)

Controls which phase of the trend is accepted. Either: accepts both fresh and mature trends. FreshOnly: only trades when a crossover happened recently (within TrendFreshBars). MatureOnly: only trades in well-established trends (crossover at least TrendMatureBars ago).

🔹 Fast EMA Period (default: 50)

Period of the fast Exponential Moving Average. Common values: 20, 50.

🔹 Slow EMA Period (default: 200)

Period of the slow Exponential Moving Average. Common values: 100, 200.

🔹 Fresh if Cross <= Bars (default: 20)

A trend is considered "fresh" if the most recent EMA crossover occurred within this many bars.

🔹 Mature if Cross >= Bars (default: 60)

A trend is considered "mature" if the most recent EMA crossover occurred at least this many bars ago.

🔹 Allow if no Cross found (default: true)

If no crossover is found in visible history: true = treats it as a mature trend; false = blocks trading.

🔹 Use ADX Filter (default: true)

When enabled, requires ADX to be above the minimum threshold. ADX measures trend strength regardless of direction.

🔹 ADX Period (default: 14)

Period for the ADX calculation. Standard is 14.

🔹 Min ADX (default: 18)

Minimum ADX value to allow a trade. Below this, the market is considered directionless. Typical values: 18–25.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

💰 04 — MONEY & LIMITS

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
