First verify the RB100 symbol
The display name and technical symbol must not be confused. SIGNALSB requests candles and bid/ask for the official RB100 symbol; if the provider returns another instrument, no entry is created. This prevents a zone calculated from a similarly scaled but different index.
A breakout is not a simple price poke
A candle may briefly move beyond a range edge and return. Stronger confirmation considers the close, relative volatility, momentum and higher-timeframe structure. Entering at the first poke increases false-start risk; waiting for a close or retest reduces opportunities but clarifies invalidation.
Why WAIT can last
Range Break 100 can remain without a publishable alignment for a long time. If backtesting validates SELL while the live reading points BUY, the engine must wait; opposite-direction performance does not authorise the current one. A historically acceptable strategy is published only with a fresh quote still inside the zone.
Put risk beyond invalidation
After a confirmed breakout, a logical stop sits where a return into the old structure invalidates the setup. Position size adapts to that distance; do not arbitrarily tighten the stop to increase lots. Limit exposure to no more than 1% and accept that no setup is guaranteed.
FAQ
Why does RB100 not always show a signal?
A backtested direction, confirmed breakout and fresh quote must occur together.
Does Range Break 100 follow economic news?
Not like a forex pair: it is a Deriv synthetic index.
