Signals & Chart Anatomy

AIMS LOBOT (London Open Breakout Tool) generates precision breakout signals by filtering Inside Bar consolidations ("The Seed") against a strictly day-bounded Session Open benchmark level.

Anatomy of the Day-Bounded Open Line

Unlike basic indicators that plot continuous moving averages or jagged step lines connecting overnight sessions, AIMS LOBOT draws a clean, strictly day-bounded horizontal benchmark:

• Session Anchor: Established at InpOpenHour:InpOpenMinute (default: 09:00 broker server time / London Open).
• Zero Overnight Slopes: The line spans exclusively across the current trading day from the anchor hour to the final candle of the day.
• Visual Reference: Plotted in dotted/dashed deep sky blue (InpDailyOpenColor), functioning as the intra-day institutional equator.

Signal Conditions & Trigger Mechanics

1. 🔵 Bullish Breakout Signal (Buy Arrow)

• Inside Bar Condition: The active candle forms completely inside the range of the preceding mother candle (High[0] <= High[1] and Low[0] >= Low[1]).
• Open Line Filter: The candle forms above the Session Open benchmark (Low > OpenLine, or High > OpenLine and Close >= OpenLine).
• Visual Execution:
  • Small native blue up arrow (Wingdings #241 ▲) plotted directly underneath candle low.
  • Entry line tagged at High + InpBufferPips.
  • Stop loss line tagged at Low - InpBufferPips.

2. 🔴 Bearish Breakout Signal (Sell Arrow)

• Inside Bar Condition: The active candle is an Inside Bar bounded by the preceding mother bar.
• Open Line Filter: The candle forms below the Session Open benchmark (High < OpenLine, or Low < OpenLine and Close < OpenLine).
• Visual Execution:
  • Small native red down arrow (Wingdings #242 ▼) plotted directly above candle high.
  • Entry line tagged at Low - InpBufferPips.
  • Stop loss line tagged at High + InpBufferPips.

Programmatic Buffers (iCustom Integration)

Automated trading strategies and custom EAs can inspect LOBOT signals through 4 dedicated buffers:

Buffer Index	Name	Type	Value Output	Description
0	BuySignalBuffer	DRAW_ARROW	Price or 0.0	Entry price when Buy arrow is present
1	SellSignalBuffer	DRAW_ARROW	Price or 0.0	Entry price when Sell arrow is present
2	DailyOpenBuffer	DRAW_NONE	Price level	Session Open price level for that bar
3	InsideBarBuffer	DRAW_NONE	1.0 or 0.0	1.0 if candle is an Inside Bar, else 0.0
