📊 Trading Workflow

WATA follows a systematic process to handle trading signals and execute trades. This workflow ensures reliability, consistency, and proper risk management.

Signal to Execution Flow​

  1. Signal Reception

    • Validate incoming webhooks (authentication, token verification)
    • Parse action type (long, short, close)
    • Extract and validate required fields (indice, timestamps)

  2. Rule Validation

    • Verify market hours (trading only during configured hours)
    • Check timestamp freshness (reject stale signals)
    • Validate allowed indices (only trade configured indices)
    • Apply daily profit limits (stop trading if daily goal reached)

  3. Trade Execution

    • For new positions:
      • Search for optimal instrument based on configured parameters
      • Calculate order size based on account balance and risk settings
      • Place order and confirm position creation
    • For closing positions:
      • Retrieve current position details
      • Create closing order
      • Calculate and report performance metrics
    • Position monitoring:
      • Continuous position performance tracking
      • Automatic stop-loss/take-profit handling

  4. Performance Tracking

    • Daily statistics generation
    • Performance metrics reporting
    • Database storage for analysis
