# UT Bot Suite Signals and Filters

> How UT Bot Pro generates and filters signals with entry modes and higher-timeframe confirmation, and how to filter the Ultimate UT Bot Screener.

## UT Bot Pro signals

UT Bot Pro tracks a **UT trend state**: up while price is above the trailing stop, down while it's below. A trend flip is the starting point for every signal. The [Entry Engine](https://docs.quantnomad.com/premium-indicators/ut-bot-suite/features.md#entry-engine) and optional [HTF filter](#higher-timeframe-filter) then decide whether that flip becomes an entry.

| Element | Meaning |
| - | - |
| **Buy / sell markers** | Signals on the chart (toggle with **Show Buy/Sell Signals**) |
| **Trailing stop line** | The current stop level |
| **Bar colors** (optional) | The current trend direction |
| **HTF background** (optional) | The higher-timeframe trend regime |
| **Dashboard** | Current trend, stop value, stop engine, multiplier, entry mode, and HTF state |

**Pending verification:** the exact appearance of UT Bot Pro's markers and whether markers follow the selected entry mode or the raw trend flip. This section will be completed once it is confirmed against the indicator's source code or official product information. Until then, rely on the indicator's own settings panel inside TradingView.

## Filtering signals with entry modes

Entry modes act as filters on trend flips. Each trades responsiveness for confirmation:

| Entry mode | Filters out | Cost |
| - | - | - |
| **Classic Close** | Nothing: every confirmed close across the stop counts | Most sensitive to marginal crosses |
| **Close + Buffer** | Crosses that only just pass the stop | Entries happen further from the flip level |
| **X-Bar Confirmation** | Flips that reverse within the confirmation window | Entries are delayed by the confirmation bars |
| **Touch / Stop Order** | Nothing: enters as soon as price touches the stop level | Not confirmed by a close |

> [!WARNING]
>
> **Touch / Stop Order** triggers on the stop level without waiting for the bar to close. Unlike the close-based modes, a touch can happen and price can then close back on the other side of the stop. See [Confirmed vs Unconfirmed Signals](https://docs.quantnomad.com/guides/confirmed-signals.md).

## Higher-timeframe filter

With **Use HTF Confirmation** on, UT Bot Pro calculates the UT state independently on the **Higher Timeframe** (4 hours by default), using the same stop settings:

* Long entries are only taken while the HTF state is bullish.
* Short entries are only taken while the HTF state is bearish.

This removes entries against the higher-timeframe trend, at the cost of missing early reversals that haven't yet shown up on the higher timeframe.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Pick a higher timeframe that's meaningfully larger than your chart's, for example a 4-hour filter on a 15-minute or 1-hour chart.

## Adaptive multiplier

The adaptive multiplier isn't a filter, but it changes signal frequency. Based on the Efficiency Ratio, the multiplier moves between **Min Mult** and **max Mult**, which changes how far price must move to flip the trend. See [Adaptive Multiplier](https://docs.quantnomad.com/premium-indicators/ut-bot-suite/features.md#adaptive-multiplier).

## Screener filters

The Ultimate UT Bot Screener filters **symbols**, not signals.

**1. Choose the columns**

Under **Columns Arrangement**, pick the data columns you want in slots 02–06.

**2. Enable a filter**

Under **Columns Filtering**, tick **Filter \[NN]** for the column you want to filter, and set the minimum and maximum values.

**3. Sort the table**

Under **Sorting Columns**, choose a column in **Sort Table By** and a **Sorting Order**.

Matching cells are highlighted with the **Highligh Filtred Cells** color.

Example uses:

* Filter **Profit Factor** to a minimum value to focus on symbols where UT Bot has held up historically, keeping in mind this is past data.
* Sort by **Move To Revert** to see which symbols are closest to a signal change on the current bar.

## Signal confirmation

* **UT Bot Pro, close-based entry modes:** signals are confirmed by a bar close.
* **UT Bot Pro, Touch / Stop Order:** entries can trigger intrabar.
* **Screener:** **Move To Revert** and **Revert Prob** describe the current, still-forming bar, so their values change until the bar closes.
