Browse events
Once a definition has run over history, every setup it found is an event you can open and check. Browse them before you trust a study: a study is only as good as the events it measures, and ten minutes of checking catches a definition that fires a bar early or on the wrong days.
Open a dataset's events
Open the definition from Tools → Definitions.
On the Overview tab, find the Datasets card.
Click the dataset you want, such as BTC on 5 minutes.
The events open in a table, with the count in the header: 786 events. The page shows the events for the version and profile selected on the definition.
What each column holds
Column | What it is |
|---|---|
When | The bar the event happened on |
Event | Which event it is, for a definition that records more than one kind |
Intent | The label the script gives the event |
TF | The timeframe it was found on |
Payload | The details the definition recorded, such as the direction of the break and the distance from VWAP |
Each detail in the payload also gets a column of its own. Use the column picker in the header to show or hide them. The table shows 50 events a page, or 100 if you switch it.
Narrow them down
The Filters rail on the left filters by Event, Intent, Timeframe and Date range. Under Payload, click Add filter to filter on any detail the definition recorded, such as only bullish breaks, or only breaks more than one band above VWAP. Reset clears them all.
Filtering is the quickest way to find the events behind a surprising number. If a study says breaks from above the upper band reached the prior day's high 51 times in 61, filter to those 61 and look at the ten that did not.
Check an event on the chart
Click an event. Its detail opens beside the table on the Overview tab, listing when and where it happened and everything in its payload.
Open the Interactive tab. A chart opens on the bar where it happened.
Check that the mark sits on the right bar and that the payload matches what you see.
If an event is wrong, the definition needs fixing. Open it with Open editor, tell the agent the date and what you saw, then run the new version over history. Your old events stay with the old version. See Build a definition.
To watch the definition mark setups as they happen, add it to a chart: see Definitions on the chart.
