Why this blog is worth your time

If you’ve used SageMaster for a while, you’ve probably had moments like:

• “My Indicator sent a trade idea… why didn’t my trade enter?”
• “Why did SageMaster skip this trade idea?”
• “Why did the trade enter after price already reached TP and came back?”

In many cases, the answer is not that something is “broken.”

• Price Tolerance
• Time Tolerance
• TP Proximity
• Slippage
