How SigForge works

A four-stage pipeline turns raw price action into a fully-defined, AI-validated trade setup. Every stage validates the last — and any failure closes the gate.

1

Scan — Technical Engine

A universal Pine Script engine runs on TradingView charts for each watched pair. On every bar close it computes an H4 + H1 snapshot: EMA trend stack, RSI, MACD, ATR, swing pivots, structure breaks (BOS / CHoCH), support & resistance, entry zones and an entry-quality score.

2

Relay — Signed Webhook

When the technical state materially changes, the engine fires a structured JSON snapshot to the SigForge webhook, authenticated with a secret header. The server validates the contract, pair whitelist and numeric bounds, then stores the snapshot atomically.

3

Decide — AI Layer

DeepSeek AI receives the technical snapshot plus a freshness-checked FRED macro snapshot. It returns strict JSON: TRADE with entry, SL, TP, invalidation, confidence and reasoning — or NO_TRADE. Cooldowns and fingerprint de-duplication prevent repeat decisions.

4

Deliver & Track

Approved signals are written to the signal store and appear instantly on your dashboard and live viewer. The lifecycle engine tracks each setup through active, expired, TP or SL — preserving full history and performance stats.

Fail-Closed Design

When in doubt, stand aside

SigForge is engineered to refuse bad data rather than trade on it. Each guard below resolves to NO_TRADE.

🧱

Data freshness guards

Technical snapshots expire quickly; macro snapshots must be fresh at both fetch time and source time. Anything stale is treated as missing — and missing data means no trade.

📐

Geometry validation

Entry, stop-loss and take-profit must form valid geometry for the trade direction. Inverted or nonsensical levels are rejected before a signal can exist.

⏱️

Cooldowns & de-duplication

Per-pair and global cooldowns plus alert fingerprinting stop the engine from churning the same setup into repeated signals.

🔑

Server-side secrets

All API keys and webhook secrets live in server-side configuration, never in the browser. Market data requests route through a rate-limited server proxy.

The Result

What lands on your dashboard

Only setups that survived the full pipeline. Each one arrives complete.

🎯

Trade parameters

Pair, direction, entry zone, stop-loss, take-profit, invalidation level and the risk-to-reward ratio implied by the structure.

🧠

AI verdict

A confidence score and written reasoning from the AI decision layer, so you can evaluate the logic before you ever consider the levels.

⏳

Validity window

Every signal carries an expiry. A live countdown shows exactly how long the setup remains valid before it is retired.

⚠️ Risk Disclosure

No pipeline — however disciplined — removes market risk. Trading leveraged markets can result in losses exceeding your expectations. SigForge provides market intelligence for educational purposes only and is not financial advice.
