Filtering Signals

Hide low-quality signals with WiSE's filters — risk, bar quality, wick size, moving average, and more.

Filters hide signals and symbols by turning them into the Hidden Color. Pick a hidden color that isn't bright, so unqualified symbols don't attract your attention. While testing, it's recommended not to use a transparent color because it may cause confusion.

Direction and count filters

  • Hide Long Signals / Hide Short Signals — hide long or short entry signals on the chart.
  • Max count HL/LH — the maximum number of Lower High (LH) or Higher Low (HL) signals per zero entry.
  • Max count Entries — the maximum number of entries per zero entry.
  • Hide Inside Bar — hides second entry signals with inside bars.
  • Hide 0/1 without 2 — hides zero entry and first entry signals without a corresponding second entry.

Scope filters

  • Apply filters to HL/LH when applicable — treats HL/LH the same as entries when filtering.
  • Apply filters to Failed/Challenged Entries — controls whether an originally filtered entry stays hidden after it fails or is challenged.

Bar quality filters

  • Max High-Close (long) & Close-Low (short) %, 0:off — hides bars that don't meet the specified percentage difference between High and Close (for long) or Close and Low (for short).

With the parameter set to 30, the left bar qualifies for a long entry; the right one is hidden.
  • Hide Entries by Max Risk (ticks), 0:off — hides bars that exceed the specified maximum risk in ticks.

With max risk set to 6, a 6-tick spread from implied fill to implied stop passes; 7 ticks is hidden.
  • Hide Entries by color — hides the entry if the signal bar is red (for long) or green (for short).
  • Max towards trade wick size (ticks), -1:off — hides bars whose wick pointing in the trade direction is longer than specified.
  • Hide Entries by Moving Average — hides the entry if the Close is indented from the MA. Configure the moving average type, input, period, and min/max indent in the MA Filter settings.
