Confirmation triggers
Stage a signal and wait for proof before acting β fewer false starts.
What a trigger does
A confirmation trigger doesn't act the moment a signal fires β it stages the action and waits for an extra condition to confirm. This filters out false starts at the cost of a slightly later entry or exit. Triggers are optional and sit on top of your normal entry, exit, stop, and target logic.
Trigger types
Pull-back waits for price to return to a line (an EMA, SMA, VWAP, or Donchian level). Time delay waits a fixed number of bars. Confirmation candle waits for a pattern such as a bullish engulfing or hammer. Condition waits for a custom comparison, like RSI climbing back above 50.
Guards & max wait
Triggers can guard each action: stage an entry, stage an exit, or require confirmation before a take-profit or stop-loss closes the trade. Max wait bars bounds how long a staged action waits before it expires (0 = wait forever).
Re-arm & hard buffer
Re-arm decides what happens if the signal fires again while staged: Reset restarts the wait; Ignore keeps the original. A hard buffer is a catastrophic backstop on a guarded stop β price beyond it always closes the trade regardless of confirmation, so a stop guard can never let a small loss become a large one.
