Apply a strategy to your markets
A saved strategy is a definition waiting for somewhere to run. In SixOne8 that somewhere is a watchlist: a named group of markets. Apply the strategy to the list and every market on it is held against the same conditions, on the same schedule, from then on.
Step by step
- Make a watchlist. Give it a name and add the markets you want on it — the majors, a handful of crypto pairs, whatever you follow. A market can sit on several lists.
- Apply the strategy. From the strategy or from the list, choose the other. One strategy can be applied to several lists, and one list can carry several strategies.
- Open the ranking screen. Every market the strategy is applied to appears with a percentage. From here on the scan is running: each market is re-evaluated as its candles close, and the list reorders itself.
- Tap a row. You get that market's chart with the strategy's conditions drawn on it and each one's current reading, so you can see which conditions are met and which are not.
What the percentage means
It is how much of the strategy that market satisfies right now. A strategy with four conditions where three are true reads 75%. On Elite, where conditions can carry different weights, it is the weighted share. It is a progress figure, not a probability: 100% means every condition is currently true, and nothing more than that. It does not say the market is about to do anything.
A market that reads "Market closed" is one whose session has ended — forex and metals over the weekend, for instance. Nothing is evaluated until it reopens, and the figure shown is the last one computed.
Two ways to read the list
By market lists every market in score order, across all your strategies — the view for "what is closest to lining up right now". By strategy groups each strategy's markets under it — the view once you are running several strategies and want to see each one's picture on its own. The figures are the same; only the grouping changes.
Why a strategy is not tied to a chart
Most charting tools attach an alert to one chart of one market. If you want the same setup watched on twenty markets, you set it up twenty times and edit it twenty times when you change your mind. Here the strategy is one object. Edit it once and every market it is applied to picks up the change. Adding a market to the list later costs nothing extra to maintain.
What applying does not do
It does not fire an alert on the markets that already satisfy the strategy at the moment you apply it. Alerts are about the moment conditions become true, so a market that was already there is treated as the baseline, and the next transition is what you hear about. That is covered in the alerts guide. And the order of the list is mechanical — the share of conditions met — not a recommendation of which market to look at.
