Overview

What Entry Timer actually does

The Entry Timer watches one setup bar by bar instead of guessing from a chart. It rebuilds the opening range, checks the confirmation close and reports waiting, triggered or expired with the bar time and price.

It never enters on its own. It answers one question: has the written rule fired yet, and at what price.

Capabilities

What this workflow helps you ship

Check one setup once or watch it on an interval.

Rebuild the opening range from 5-minute bars.

Require a confirmation close, not just a touch.

Report waiting, triggered or expired.

Show the bar time and the exact trigger price.

Keep the scanner's rule and numbers in sync.

Workflow

The process the skill follows

A repeatable sequence keeps the agent from jumping straight into edits before it understands the job.

  1. 01

    Load the setup

    Read the scanner watchlist entry and the rule that produced it.

  2. 02

    Rebuild the range

    Compute the opening range from the session's 5-minute bars.

  3. 03

    Watch the bars

    Check each new bar against the confirmation rule.

  4. 04

    Report the state

    Return waiting, triggered or expired with the evidence.

  5. 05

    Hand off the price

    Pass the trigger bar and price to the exit planner.

Use cases

Where it earns its place

Live entry timing

Avoid entering on a wick before the confirmation bar closes.

Multi-setup watch

Check several saved setups without staring at charts.

Rule discipline

Let the written rule, not the emotion, call the entry.
