Symbol Activation (Required After Creation)

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Creating a custom event or strategy does NOT automatically activate it for any symbols. After creation, you MUST ask the user which symbols to activate it for, then call the enable endpoint. Without this step, the event/strategy will not fire or generate signals.

Workflow: Custom Events

1. Create the event → POST /custom-events
2. Compile the event → POST /custom-events/{id}/compile
3. Ask the user which symbols to activate for
4. Activate symbols → POST /custom-event-symbols/{eventId}/enable-all with { "symbols": ["BTC-USD", "ETH-USD"] }

Workflow: Strategies

1. Create the strategy → POST /visual-strategies
2. Compile the strategy → POST /visual-strategies/{id}/compile
3. Ask the user which symbols to activate for
4. Activate symbols → POST /strategy-symbols/{strategyId}/enable-all with { "symbols": ["BTC-USD", "ETH-USD"] }

Editing Events or Strategies

⚠️ Any update to a custom event or strategy requires recompilation! The evaluator runs the compiled output, not the visual graph. If you update nodes, edges, conditions, or parameters without recompiling, the changes have no effect.

• After editing an event: POST /custom-events/{id}/compile
• After editing a strategy: POST /visual-strategies/{id}/compile

Always recompile immediately after any PUT update call.

Checking Active Symbols

• Event symbols: GET /custom-event-symbols/event/{eventId}
• Strategy symbols: GET /strategy-symbols/strategy/{strategyId}
• All activations: GET /custom-event-symbols and GET /strategy-symbols (query: ?activeOnly=true)

Deactivating Symbols

• Event: POST /custom-event-symbols/{eventId}/disable-all with { "symbols": [...] }
• Strategy: POST /strategy-symbols/{strategyId}/disable-all with { "symbols": [...] }

Response Formatting

When presenting data to users:

Market overview: Show price, % change, key S/R levels, and any recent events.

Signals: Show symbol, direction, entry, stop loss, confidence score, strategy name.

S/R levels: Sort by score (strongest first), show level and touch count.

Backtests: Show trade count, win rate, total return, Sharpe ratio, best/worst trades.

Available Indicators

EMA (multiple periods), SMA, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, DSS (Double Smoothed Stochastic), Stochastic RSI, ATR, ADX, OBV, Volume Profile, Ichimoku Cloud, Fibonacci Retracement, Support/Resistance, Trendlines, Candlestick Patterns, SMC (Order Blocks, FVGs, BOS/ChoCH).

Academy

DWLF Academy is a CDN-hosted collection of educational content (15 tracks, 60+ lessons) covering indicators, events, strategies, charting, and more. No auth required.

Use academy tools to read lesson content and understand DWLF concepts:

• dwlf_list_academy_tracks — browse all tracks and lessons
• dwlf_search_academy — search by keyword
• dwlf_get_academy_lesson — read a specific lesson (markdown)

When a user asks "how does X work in DWLF?" or "what is DSS?", check the academy first — it likely has a lesson explaining it.
