Expectations:

Setting up SniperPRO ATM Trading Assistant requires a bit of patience, but the reward is a powerful precision tool that can significantly enhance your trading performance. However, it’s important to understand that this is not a “set it and forget it” strategy. No such magical, always-winning system exists.

Success with SniperPRO comes from a disciplined, consistent approach—aiming for just a few quality trades each day. Over time, those small gains can compound into significant results. Embracing a mindset based on probabilities is essential.

Always apply your risk management rules, and be prepared for losses—they’re part of the process. For example, even with an 80% success rate (purely hypothetical, your results are based on personal ATM settings), you’d still expect 1 in 5 trades to result in a loss. The key is that 3 out of 5 trade sequences being net profitable can lead to long-term growth.

To put it into perspective: averaging just $100 per day could amount to nearly $25,000 per year, based on 243 trading days. With realistic goals and expectations, SniperPRO can become one of the most valuable tools in your trading arsenal and perhaps your best financial friend.

Note: Unattended trading is strongly discouraged.

Description:

SniperPRO ATM is a precision-engineered trading system designed for high-efficiency scalping. It leverages fundamental signals generated through trend cycle analysis across multiple timeframes. This volume-triggered strategy detects relative volume surges and executes trades in real time—tick by tick—for pinpoint entry and exit accuracy.

For swing traders, bar-on-close entries provide an alternative to momentum-based execution. While the core multi-timeframe trend-tracking algorithm remains the same, entry criteria can be tailored to suit non-momentum strategies, allowing for optimized positioning based on your specific trading style. This makes SniperPRO ATM a complete and highly adaptable solution for all types of traders.

The system also intelligently filters out poor trading environments by using daily average volume as a baseline, helping avoid low-volume, high-risk, and choppy conditions. All of this is powered by thousands of split-second calculations—ensuring speed, precision, and consistency in every market cycle.

Please consider the following points when deciding to use SniperPRO ATM:

  • No automated trading tool, including this one, guarantees trading success.

  • There is always a risk of significant financial loss, even when using algorithmic trading strategies.

  • SniperPRO ATM is a precision tool that requires calibration and thorough testing, ideally in a simulated environment.

  • Unattended trading is strongly discouraged. Various factors, such as power outages or unexpected system failures with your PC or brokerage, may necessitate manual intervention.

  • By using this tool, you assume full responsibility for all potential outcomes and agree to hold StockWaver, the creator of SniperPRO ATM, harmless.

To fully convey the intended designed use of this algorithm, here is an excerpt from the “Apex Consistency Rules” page:

“Automation

AI, Autobots, Algorithms, Fully Automated Trading Systems or Software, High-Frequency Trading (HFTs), or any other automated trading is prohibited on the PA or Live accounts.

It is strictly prohibited to use any type of hands-off, set-and-forget, set-and-walk-away, trading continuously 24 hours a day, or any other type of automation, including those listed above. Using those types of automation will cause the closure of the PA or Live account and forfeiture of all funds and balances.

The use of semi-automated software must accompany full trader monitoring and presence at all times. This means the trader must be present, watching the trades and managing the entries and settings on the semi-automated software. This software assists in placing a trade based on a set of rules that the trader is actively monitoring, adjusting the software for market moves, longs, shorts, pausing, news awareness, market conditions, etc.

It is advisable to turn off and on semi-automated trading or a trade assistant as market conditions begin to set up for a trade or as they deteriorate. Remember, it is to be used to help with the speed or accuracy of placing a trade, not as a system that trades for you.”

⚙️Calibration Settings: Preface

             443332) SniperPRO ATM – Optimize for Peak Performance

Out of the box, SniperPRO ATM comes pre-configured with moderately conservative settings, designed to provide a solid foundation for trade generation and management. These defaults strike a practical balance—efficient enough for most users, yet flexible enough to adapt to various trading styles.

However, to unlock maximum performance and profitability, it is strongly recommended that users:

🧪  1)  Test optional settings on your specific trading instruments.

💻  2)  Fine-tune based on your machine’s performance—every computer system behaves differently and can affect the timing and precision of trades.

🧭  3)  Use a simulated environment for all adjustments. This ensures risk-free experimentation while you optimize.

📈  4)  Incrementally refine settings to achieve peak trade execution and strategy alignment.

💡 Pro Tip: Time spent on optimization isn’t just setup—it’s an investment. With careful tuning, you can exponentially increase both trade efficiency and profitability.

Important Note: Playback mode is not compatible with SniperPRO. While a Tick 100 chart might occasionally trigger executions, playback only processes entries at bar close, causing significant delays. This lag means playback results are highly inaccurate and do not reflect real-time performance—not even close.

05) VolAtr Threshold, TC2 Trend and SuperTrend Directions Trade Conditions

Four Optional Trade Execution Conditions

In the strategy settings menu 05) Trade Condition, SniperPRO ATM includes four optional filters that must be met to pass the trade execution gate. These conditions help ensure higher-quality setups by aligning entries with market context and trend direction.

📈 1) VWMA Direction Condition (Require VWMA Positioning)
This setting enforces a crossed up/down direction of VWMA fast/slow lines, based on a user-defined lengths of volume weighted moving average values.

  • The default lengths are: fast – 8 | slow – 13.
  • When fast is crossed over slow: long trade allowed | fast under slow: short trade allowed.
  • Directional momentum is typically poised in the direction of crossings.
  • Default: On

📈 2) VolATR Threshold Condition (Require VolATR Threshold Minimum)
This setting enforces a minimum Volume/ATR threshold, based on a user-defined multiplier of historical VolATR values collected by time of day.

  • The baseline is set to zero.
  • Four threshold levels can be configured and mapped to specific time slots.
  • Trades are only allowed if the current VolATR meets or exceeds the specified threshold for that time slot.
  • Default: Off (only applies to TP1Entry and TrendEntry on bar close entries)

📈 3) Trend Cycle 2 Direction Filter (Require TC2 Trend Direction Condition)

  • TC2 is a user-defined trend indicator calculated in real-time on a higher timeframe (default: 15 minutes), with values ranging from 0 to 100:
  • A value near 0 indicates an extreme bearish trend.
  • A value near 100 signals an extreme bullish trend.
    This condition restricts trades to only occur in the same direction as the prevailing trend when TC2 is in extreme zones (typically below 25 for bearish or above 75 for bullish).
  • Bi-directional trading is permitted when TC2 is within the 25–75 range.
  • Default: Off

📈 4) SuperTrend Direction Filter (Require SuperTrend Direction Condition)
This setting allows trades only in the direction of the active SuperTrend trend—bullish or bearish—ensuring entries are made in alignment with the current market momentum.

  • Default: Off

05) Trend Cycle Filters Trade Conditions

✅ Optional Trend Cycle Filter Conditions 

In the strategy settings menu 05) Trade Condition, SniperPRO ATM includes two optional trend cycle filters that must be met to pass the trade execution gate. These conditions help ensure higher-quality setups by aligning entries with market context and trend direction.

🔄 Trend Cycle Filters

Trend Cycle Filters monitor market momentum across two higher timeframes independently from the chart’s current timeframe. These filters help align trades with broader trend direction by referencing a 0–100 scale, where:

  • 0 = Extremely Bearish

  • 100 = Extremely Bullish

Typically:

  • A cross below 25 signals a potential bearish postion.

  • A cross above 75 indicates a potential bullish position.

When enabled, both trend cycle conditions must be satisfied before any trade can be executed. This ensures that trade entries are aligned with the dominant directional bias across multiple timeframes, improving overall signal quality.

Here’s the diagram showing how the Trend Cycle Filters work across two higher timeframes:

  • The red and green zones mark areas where trades are restricted (shorts only below 25, longs only above 75).

  • The yellow zone represents a neutral range (25–75), where bi-directional trades are typically allowed.

  • Two trend cycle curves (TF1 and TF2) illustrate how both timeframes must align within their respective bullish, bearish or neutral zones to permit trade execution.

 

05) Entry Types Conditions

🔄 Real-Time vs Bar-Close Entries 

In the strategy settings menu 05) Trade Condition, these optional entry type conditions may be configured

✅ Real-Time Entries

  • Use Case: Ideal for momentum-based tradess (i.e., VolAtrEntry).

  • Mechanism: Trades are triggered within the active bar when sudden price movements push volume or ATR above predefined thresholds.

  • Behavior:

    • Both entry and exit can occur within the same bar.

    • Captures impulsive thrusts or breakout surges.

🕒 Bar-Close Entries

  • Use Case: Better suited for swing trades.

  • Mechanism: Waits for the bar to close before confirming the setup.

  • Advantages:

    • Filters out false signals.

    • May allow for more favorable entry prices due to the lack of immediate volume thrust requirements.

✅ Confirmation Bar Logic

A confirmation bar provides an extra layer of reliability in entries by requiring directional continuation.

Definition:

  • The previous candle must be a bullish or bearish candle.
  • The current price must exceed the previous candle’s close.
  • This condition is optional, but highly recommended for trend-following consistency.

 

🎯 Long / Short Entry Controls

You can selectively enable or disable long or short trade entries based on strategy preferences.

🔄 TC2 Long Only / Short Only Filters

The Trend Cycle 2 (TC2) filter refines entries by assessing directional strength.

How It Works:

    • TC2 outputs a 0–100 value:

      • 0 = Bearish

      • 100 = Bullish

    • This is converted to a 0–10 range:

      • A higher number = less restrictive (wider bi-directional allowance).

      • Same value for both long/short is typically advised for balanced behavior.

06) Daily Volume Gate Filter

📊 Daily Volume Gate

The Daily Volume Gate ensures trades are only taken when there is sufficient market activity, helping filter out low-volume conditions that can lead to unreliable setups This feature compares:

  • The Current Running Volume (accumulated intraday volume)
  • Against a Daily Volume SMA (Simple Moving Average of daily volumes over a lookback period)

By using this filter, SniperPRO dynamically restricts trades during below-average volume environments, increasing the reliability of momentum or trend-based entries.

⚙️ Key Settings Explained

✅ Enable Running Volume Filter

  • Function: Activates the gate to restrict trades if the current volume is insufficient.
  • Purpose: Prevents entries during thin or inactive market conditions.

📆 Lookback Period

  • Function: Sets how many previous trading days are used to calculate the Daily Volume SMA.
  • Default: 13 days
  • Effect: A longer lookback smooths the average; a shorter one makes the threshold more responsive.

📈 Running Volume Threshold

  • Function: Sets the minimum required intraday volume as a percentage of the daily SMA to permit trade entries.

Default: 100% (i.e., trade only if current volume equals or exceeds the 13-day average)

07) Trend Cycle Filter

🔁 Trend Cycle Filter – Smoothing Trade Direction

The Trend Cycle Filter is a refined market direction tool based on a modified interpretation of the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence). It outputs a normalized value between 0 and 100, where:

  • 0 = Strongly Bearish
  • 100 = Strongly Bullish

For simplified tuning, this 0–100 range is rescaled to 0–10, where:

  • Lower values = Less restrictive (more signals)
  • Higher values = More restrictive (fewer, stronger signals)

📈 Entry Zone Logic

  • Long entries: Trigger when trend crosses above 25 → ~2.5 on the 0–10 scale.
  • Short entries: Trigger when trend crosses below 75 → ~7.5, or 2.5 again on an inverted scale.

🔧 Default threshold: 2.75 for both long and short filters across both timeframes.

⚙️ Settings Overview

🕒 TC Filter 1 & 2 Time Frames

  • External timeframes used for calculating MACD trend cycles.
  • Defaults: 5 minutes (TC1) and 15 minutes (TC2)
  • Provides multi-timeframe filtering for more reliable trend confirmation.

🎚️ TC Buy/Sell Thresholds (0–10 Scale)

  • Each TC filter has separate buy and sell thresholds.
  • Higher numbers = stricter conditions, meaning fewer but higher-confidence trades.
  • Recommended: Use the same threshold value for both buy/sell.
  • Reference: A threshold of 2.5 ≈ crossing over 25 (buy) or under 75 (sell)

08a) Volume Filter Levels

📊 Volume Filter Levels – Adaptive Volume/ATR Gate

The Volume Filter protects momentum-based trades by requiring today’s intraday Volume ÷ ATR to exceed a time-of-day benchmark built from historical data.

How it works

Concept Explanation
Historical baseline For every minute of the session, SniperPRO stores the average Volume ÷ ATR over the past N days (default N = 13). That average is treated as 1× baseline.
Threshold You choose a multiple of the baseline that must be reached before entries are allowed. Internally the scale starts at 0 = baseline, so 1.0 means “2× the historical average” and so on.
Four daily slots Up to 4 independent time windows (e.g., Open, Mid-day, Power Hour, Overnight) can each have its own threshold. Default for all four is 1.0.

Key parameters

  • Threshold 1-4 – minimum multiple (0 – ∞). Default 1.0
  • Slot 1-4 start / end – optional daily time windows that map each threshold to the parts of the session you care about.

Tip: Keep thresholds aligned across slots when first calibrating; then tighten specific windows where fake breakouts are common.

05) VolAtr Threshold, TC2 Trend and SuperTrend Directions Trade Conditions

Four Optional Trade Execution Conditions

In the strategy settings menu 05) Trade Condition, SniperPRO ATM includes four optional filters that must be met to pass the trade execution gate. These conditions help ensure higher-quality setups by aligning entries with market context and trend direction.

📈 1) VWMA Direction Condition (Require VWMA Positioning)
This setting enforces a crossed up/down direction of VWMA fast/slow lines, based on a user-defined lengths of volume weighted moving average values.

  • The default lengths are: fast – 8 | slow – 13.
  • When fast is crossed over slow: long trade allowed | fast under slow: short trade allowed.
  • Directional momentum is typically poised in the direction of crossings.
  • Default: On

📈 2) VolATR Threshold Condition (Require VolATR Threshold Minimum)
This setting enforces a minimum Volume/ATR threshold, based on a user-defined multiplier of historical VolATR values collected by time of day.

  • The baseline is set to zero.
  • Four threshold levels can be configured and mapped to specific time slots.
  • Trades are only allowed if the current VolATR meets or exceeds the specified threshold for that time slot.
  • Default: Off (only applies to TP1Entry and TrendEntry on bar close entries)

📈 3) Trend Cycle 2 Direction Filter (Require TC2 Trend Direction Condition)

  • TC2 is a user-defined trend indicator calculated in real-time on a higher timeframe (default: 15 minutes), with values ranging from 0 to 100:
  • A value near 0 indicates an extreme bearish trend.
  • A value near 100 signals an extreme bullish trend.
    This condition restricts trades to only occur in the same direction as the prevailing trend when TC2 is in extreme zones (typically below 25 for bearish or above 75 for bullish).
  • Bi-directional trading is permitted when TC2 is within the 25–75 range.
  • Default: Off

📈 4) SuperTrend Direction Filter (Require SuperTrend Direction Condition)
This setting allows trades only in the direction of the active SuperTrend trend—bullish or bearish—ensuring entries are made in alignment with the current market momentum.

  • Default: Off

05) Trend Cycle Filters Trade Conditions

✅ Optional Trend Cycle Filter Conditions 

In the strategy settings menu 05) Trade Condition, SniperPRO ATM includes two optional trend cycle filters that must be met to pass the trade execution gate. These conditions help ensure higher-quality setups by aligning entries with market context and trend direction.

🔄 Trend Cycle Filters

Trend Cycle Filters monitor market momentum across two higher timeframes independently from the chart’s current timeframe. These filters help align trades with broader trend direction by referencing a 0–100 scale, where:

  • 0 = Extremely Bearish

  • 100 = Extremely Bullish

Typically:

  • A cross below 25 signals a potential bearish postion.

  • A cross above 75 indicates a potential bullish position.

When enabled, both trend cycle conditions must be satisfied before any trade can be executed. This ensures that trade entries are aligned with the dominant directional bias across multiple timeframes, improving overall signal quality.

Here’s the diagram showing how the Trend Cycle Filters work across two higher timeframes:

  • The red and green zones mark areas where trades are restricted (shorts only below 25, longs only above 75).

  • The yellow zone represents a neutral range (25–75), where bi-directional trades are typically allowed.

  • Two trend cycle curves (TF1 and TF2) illustrate how both timeframes must align within their respective bullish, bearish or neutral zones to permit trade execution.

 

05) Entry Types Conditions

🔄 Real-Time vs Bar-Close Entries 

In the strategy settings menu 05) Trade Condition, these optional entry type conditions may be configured

✅ Real-Time Entries

  • Use Case: Ideal for momentum-based tradess (i.e., VolAtrEntry).

  • Mechanism: Trades are triggered within the active bar when sudden price movements push volume or ATR above predefined thresholds.

  • Behavior:

    • Both entry and exit can occur within the same bar.

    • Captures impulsive thrusts or breakout surges.

🕒 Bar-Close Entries

  • Use Case: Better suited for swing trades.

  • Mechanism: Waits for the bar to close before confirming the setup.

  • Advantages:

    • Filters out false signals.

    • May allow for more favorable entry prices due to the lack of immediate volume thrust requirements.

✅ Confirmation Bar Logic

A confirmation bar provides an extra layer of reliability in entries by requiring directional continuation.

Definition:

  • The previous candle must be a bullish or bearish candle.
  • The current price must exceed the previous candle’s close.
  • This condition is optional, but highly recommended for trend-following consistency.

 

🎯 Long / Short Entry Controls

You can selectively enable or disable long or short trade entries based on strategy preferences.

🔄 TC2 Long Only / Short Only Filters

The Trend Cycle 2 (TC2) filter refines entries by assessing directional strength.

How It Works:

    • TC2 outputs a 0–100 value:

      • 0 = Bearish

      • 100 = Bullish

    • This is converted to a 0–10 range:

      • A higher number = less restrictive (wider bi-directional allowance).

      • Same value for both long/short is typically advised for balanced behavior.

06) Daily Volume Gate Filter

📊 Daily Volume Gate

The Daily Volume Gate ensures trades are only taken when there is sufficient market activity, helping filter out low-volume conditions that can lead to unreliable setups This feature compares:

  • The Current Running Volume (accumulated intraday volume)
  • Against a Daily Volume SMA (Simple Moving Average of daily volumes over a lookback period)

By using this filter, SniperPRO dynamically restricts trades during below-average volume environments, increasing the reliability of momentum or trend-based entries.

⚙️ Key Settings Explained

✅ Enable Running Volume Filter

  • Function: Activates the gate to restrict trades if the current volume is insufficient.
  • Purpose: Prevents entries during thin or inactive market conditions.

📆 Lookback Period

  • Function: Sets how many previous trading days are used to calculate the Daily Volume SMA.
  • Default: 13 days
  • Effect: A longer lookback smooths the average; a shorter one makes the threshold more responsive.

📈 Running Volume Threshold

  • Function: Sets the minimum required intraday volume as a percentage of the daily SMA to permit trade entries.

Default: 100% (i.e., trade only if current volume equals or exceeds the 13-day average)

07) Trend Cycle Filter

🔁 Trend Cycle Filter – Smoothing Trade Direction

The Trend Cycle Filter is a refined market direction tool based on a modified interpretation of the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence). It outputs a normalized value between 0 and 100, where:

  • 0 = Strongly Bearish
  • 100 = Strongly Bullish

For simplified tuning, this 0–100 range is rescaled to 0–10, where:

  • Lower values = Less restrictive (more signals)
  • Higher values = More restrictive (fewer, stronger signals)

📈 Entry Zone Logic

  • Long entries: Trigger when trend crosses above 25 → ~2.5 on the 0–10 scale.
  • Short entries: Trigger when trend crosses below 75 → ~7.5, or 2.5 again on an inverted scale.

🔧 Default threshold: 2.75 for both long and short filters across both timeframes.

⚙️ Settings Overview

🕒 TC Filter 1 & 2 Time Frames

  • External timeframes used for calculating MACD trend cycles.
  • Defaults: 5 minutes (TC1) and 15 minutes (TC2)
  • Provides multi-timeframe filtering for more reliable trend confirmation.

🎚️ TC Buy/Sell Thresholds (0–10 Scale)

  • Each TC filter has separate buy and sell thresholds.
  • Higher numbers = stricter conditions, meaning fewer but higher-confidence trades.
  • Recommended: Use the same threshold value for both buy/sell.
  • Reference: A threshold of 2.5 ≈ crossing over 25 (buy) or under 75 (sell)

08a) Volume Filter Levels

📊 Volume Filter Levels – Adaptive Volume/ATR Gate

The Volume Filter protects momentum-based trades by requiring today’s intraday Volume ÷ ATR to exceed a time-of-day benchmark built from historical data.

How it works

Concept Explanation
Historical baseline For every minute of the session, SniperPRO stores the average Volume ÷ ATR over the past N days (default N = 13). That average is treated as 1× baseline.
Threshold You choose a multiple of the baseline that must be reached before entries are allowed. Internally the scale starts at 0 = baseline, so 1.0 means “2× the historical average” and so on.
Four daily slots Up to 4 independent time windows (e.g., Open, Mid-day, Power Hour, Overnight) can each have its own threshold. Default for all four is 1.0.

Key parameters

  • Threshold 1-4 – minimum multiple (0 – ∞). Default 1.0
  • Slot 1-4 start / end – optional daily time windows that map each threshold to the parts of the session you care about.

Tip: Keep thresholds aligned across slots when first calibrating; then tighten specific windows where fake breakouts are common.

05) VolAtr Threshold, TC2 Trend and SuperTrend Directions Trade Conditions

Four Optional Trade Execution Conditions

In the strategy settings menu 05) Trade Condition, SniperPRO ATM includes four optional filters that must be met to pass the trade execution gate. These conditions help ensure higher-quality setups by aligning entries with market context and trend direction.

📈 2) VolATR Threshold Condition (Require VolATR Threshold Minimum)
This setting enforces a minimum Volume/ATR threshold, based on a user-defined multiplier of historical VolATR values collected by time of day.

  • The baseline is set to zero.
  • Four threshold levels can be configured and mapped to specific time slots.
  • Trades are only allowed if the current VolATR meets or exceeds the specified threshold for that time slot.
  • Default: Off (only applies to TP1Entry and TrendEntry on bar close entries)

📈 3) Trend Cycle 2 Direction Filter (Require TC2 Trend Direction Condition)

  • TC2 is a user-defined trend indicator calculated in real-time on a higher timeframe (default: 15 minutes), with values ranging from 0 to 100:
  • A value near 0 indicates an extreme bearish trend.
  • A value near 100 signals an extreme bullish trend.
    This condition restricts trades to only occur in the same direction as the prevailing trend when TC2 is in extreme zones (typically below 25 for bearish or above 75 for bullish).
  • Bi-directional trading is permitted when TC2 is within the 25–75 range.
  • Default: Off

📈 4) SuperTrend Direction Filter (Require SuperTrend Direction Condition)
This setting allows trades only in the direction of the active SuperTrend trend—bullish or bearish—ensuring entries are made in alignment with the current market momentum.

  • Default: Off

Risk Disclosure

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
