Pine Script Partial Exit and Alert Requirements Checklist

The checklist

1. 1

   Freeze the quantity basis

   State whether every percentage applies to the initial position or to the quantity remaining immediately before that tier.

2. 2

   Write the tier sequence

   List each trigger and percentage in execution order, including whether a later tier is allowed when an earlier one never fired.

3. 3

   Validate the percentage model

   Initial-position percentages must not exceed 100% in total. Remaining-quantity percentages must be evaluated as state transitions, not added together.

4. 4

   Define quantity rounding

   Document the instrument quantity step, minimum tradable amount and whether every tier rounds down, to nearest or fails when the remainder is too small.

5. 5

   Resolve same-bar collisions

   Specify what happens if price crosses two or more tier levels within the same forming or completed bar.

6. 6

   Choose the bar timing

   Choose intrabar or confirmed-bar evaluation and state whether historical reload is expected to reproduce the realtime event sequence.

7. 7

   Enforce one event per tier

   Give every tier a persistent fired state so price oscillation, recalculation or repeated alert evaluation cannot emit the same exit twice.

8. 8

   Define reset behaviour

   State exactly when tier state resets: a new entry, a complete close, a direction change or another explicit lifecycle event.

9. 9

   Separate strategy state from transport

   Freeze the intended quantity transition independently from webhook URLs, connector syntax, credentials and downstream broker behavior.

10. 10

    Map the alert payload

    List the non-secret fields that identify symbol, side, tier, requested quantity basis, event ID and bar timestamp.

11. 11

    Supply positive and negative fixtures

    Provide one exact quantity walk-through plus cases where a tier must stay silent, duplicate events are rejected and invalid percentages fail explicitly.

12. 12

    Separate audit from repair

    Agree whether the first milestone ends with a frozen state table and defect report or includes a separately priced source change and retest.
