## 1. Core Architecture & Workflow

1. **Rule Definition (Strategy Builder)**:
   - Construct entry and exit paths visually or import TradingView Pine Script v5 / JSON scripts.
   - Combine technical indicators: Relative Strength Index (RSI), Supertrend, Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Simple Moving Average (SMA), Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), Bollinger Bands, Average True Range (ATR), Session VWAP, On-Balance Volume (OBV).

2. **Validation (Historical Simulation Engine)**:
   - Backtest configured rules against historical market candle data across timeframes (1D, 4H, 2H, 1H, 30m, 15m, 5m).
   - Evaluate quantitative metrics: Win Rate [SIM], Profit Factor, Max Drawdown, Total Return vs. Passive Buy & Hold, Sharpe Ratio, Expectancy, and Trade Distribution.

3. **Monitoring (Market Scanner & Alerts)**:
   - Active ticker pairings continuously track live technical conditions.
   - Receive instant alert notifications via Webhooks, Telegram, Email, and Push Notifications when rule conditions trigger.
