Lattice Command

Lattice Command is the execution half of the Lattice Suite. Once you've shaped and validated your parameters with Lattice Vision, Command is how you actually deploy them — first through proper backtesting in the MetaTrader 5 strategy tester, then forward testing, and ultimately live execution with real capital.

Most automated systems fail in production not because the underlying logic is flawed, but because they don't handle the reality of execution: disconnections, slippage, partial fills, broker inconsistencies, server restarts. Command is engineered from the ground up to handle all of it. Hardened persistent state means the software always knows exactly where it is, even after a crash or restart — no orphaned positions, no duplicate orders, no confused state.

Two decades of observing how systems fail in live environments has informed every design decision. This is production-grade software built from real operational experience — specifically engineered to survive the things that commonly go wrong.

Command includes a full Signal Mode that gates lattice builds using market signals — RSI, DeMarker, Stochastic, MA Touch/Cross/Angle, MACD, Engulfing, or Pin Bar — on any timeframe, with cross or territory trigger modes and configurable cooldowns per side. A four-slot Entry Filter System gates individual order triggers independently per side. Direction Mode lets you restrict execution to buy-only, sell-only, or both sides of the network. These are the refinement tools that transform a raw order network into a condition-aware system.

Like all Cave & Fire Lab software, the logic is fully transparent. Detailed on-chart dashboard, execution state indicators, and comprehensive logging mean you can see exactly what the engine is doing, why it's doing it, and verify it matches your expectations at all times.

Ghosting Technology™ is a proprietary trigger-filtering system shared across the entire Lattice Suite — and it fundamentally changes how order networks engage with the market.

The problem: when price first enters an order network, the initial interactions are often noise. Traditional networked-order systems execute on every crossing indiscriminately, building early exposure during unstable conditions before the market has committed to a direction. That premature positioning can drag the entire basket into an unfavourable state before the real move even begins.

Ghosting Technology™ defines a configurable threshold of initial interactions that are tracked but not executed. These "ghost" triggers count toward the basket lifecycle and appear on the chart as distinct visual markers, but no order is placed. Only after the ghost threshold is exceeded do subsequent interactions trigger real execution. The result is an intelligent positioning phase that filters out noise and lets your network engage when price has demonstrated real commitment.

The ghosting logic is identical between Vision and Command. The ghost count you discovered works best during visual analysis produces exactly the same filtering behaviour when executing live orders. No surprises. No discrepancy. This is the continuity that makes the Lattice Suite work as a genuine pipeline from analysis to deployment.

Signal Mode transforms Lattice Command from a pure price-interaction system into a condition-aware execution engine. Instead of building the lattice on a fixed time interval, lattice builds are triggered by market signals — giving you genuine confluence between your order network and market conditions.

Nine signal types are supported: RSI, DeMarker, Stochastic, MA Touch, MA Cross, MA Angle, MACD, Engulfing candle, and Pin Bar. Sell-side and buy-side signals are configured independently — different types, different timeframes, different thresholds. Each signal has its own period, secondary period (where applicable), and sensitivity setting.

Two trigger modes control when the signal fires. Cross mode fires once when price crosses the threshold — a clean, one-shot trigger. Territory mode continues firing while price remains inside the zone, allowing the basket to keep building as long as conditions hold. A configurable cooldown prevents rapid re-triggering between fires. Signal parameters load directly from your Lattice Vision .SET file — no manual re-entry.

A single parameter cycles between three execution modes: BOTH (full two-sided network — the default), BUY ONLY (lower lines only), and SELL ONLY (upper lines only). Apply a directional bias without touching any other parameter.

Use it to align the network with a directional thesis, restrict exposure during one-sided market conditions, or run pure trend-following configurations. Direction Mode loads directly from your Lattice Vision .SET file, so the bias you discovered in Vision is the bias you deploy with Command.

Four independent filter slots — two sell-side, two buy-side — gate individual order triggers based on market conditions. Each slot supports four filter types: SMA (price relative to moving average), RSI, DeMarker, and Stochastic. Every slot has its own type, period, timeframe, threshold range, and reverse-logic option.

Two filter modes control how conditions are evaluated. All mode requires the filter condition to be met on every trigger throughout the basket lifecycle. Cross mode fires only on fresh threshold crossings. Combine two filter slots per side for multi-condition confirmation — for example, an SMA directional check and an RSI momentum gate. A global signal cooldown prevents rapid re-triggering across all filter conditions.

All filter settings load directly from your Lattice Vision .SET file. The filter conditions you tested in Vision are the exact conditions Command enforces in live execution.

When a basket hits its target threshold, speed matters. In fast-moving markets, the difference between closing all positions instantly versus closing them one-by-one can be the difference between locking in profit and watching it evaporate.

Lattice Command's parallel close fires closure requests for all active positions simultaneously rather than sequentially. Traditional sequential closing means each position waits for the previous one to confirm before the next request is sent — and in a basket with multiple positions, that delay can cost significant slippage as price moves against you during the closure process.

Parallel close eliminates that problem. All positions receive their closure instructions at the same moment, minimising the window of exposure during the critical closing phase. This is especially important during volatile conditions, news events, or any scenario where price is moving rapidly.

The feature is configurable — you can enable parallel close for maximum speed or disable it to use sequential closing if your broker or account type handles it better. Either way, you're in control.

Lattice Vision and Lattice Command share the same underlying engine: identical lattice construction, identical Ghosting Technology™, identical distance modes, and identical parameter definitions. Settings transfer directly between them with complete fidelity — no translation layer, no configuration mismatch.
