What Entry Timer actually does
The Entry Timer watches one setup bar by bar instead of guessing from a chart. It rebuilds the opening range, checks the confirmation close and reports waiting, triggered or expired with the bar time and price.
It never enters on its own. It answers one question: has the written rule fired yet, and at what price.
Capabilities
What it helps your agent ship
Check one setup once or watch it on an interval.
Rebuild the opening range from 5-minute bars.
Require a confirmation close, not just a touch.
Report waiting, triggered or expired.
Show the bar time and the exact trigger price.
Keep the scanner's rule and numbers in sync.
Workflow
The process the skill follows
A repeatable sequence keeps the agent from jumping straight into edits before it understands the job.
- 01
Load the setup
Read the scanner watchlist entry and the rule that produced it.
- 02
Rebuild the range
Compute the opening range from the session's 5-minute bars.
- 03
Watch the bars
Check each new bar against the confirmation rule.
- 04
Report the state
Return waiting, triggered or expired with the evidence.
- 05
Hand off the price
Pass the trigger bar and price to the exit planner.

Rule discipline

Prompt starters
Try one of these first
Copy a prompt into your agent. Replace the example URL with your own project or page.
Check TSLA for the opening-range setup and tell me if it triggered.
Watch this setup every 30 seconds and tell me the moment it confirms.
Why is this setup still waiting instead of triggered?
