role: long type: put selection: <e.g., $5 wide below short strike> expiration: <e.g., same-day (0DTE) — nearest daily expiry>

Session

session: <RTH (default) | extended> entry_window: <e.g., 09:45–11:00 ET> hard_exit: <e.g., 15:45 ET>

Entry rules (plain English, bar-level. NO look-ahead allowed.)

<rule 1 — e.g., price pulls back to rising VWAP>
<rule 2 — optional confirmation> all_required: true # every rule must hold on the entry bar

Exit rules

exits: stop: <underlying level or premium % — define precisely> targets: - t1: <profit % of credit or premium> scale_out: <fraction, e.g., 50%> - t2: <...> scale_out: <...> breakeven_after_t1: false time_exit: 15:45 ET
