## Symbol Activation (Required After Creation)

> ⚠️ **IMPORTANT:** Creating a custom event or strategy does **NOT** automatically activate it for any symbols. After creation, you **MUST** ask the user which symbols to activate it for, then call the enable endpoint. Without this step, the event/strategy will **not fire or generate signals**.

### Workflow: Custom Events
1. Create the event → `POST /custom-events`
2. Compile the event → `POST /custom-events/{id}/compile`
3. **Ask the user** which symbols to activate for
4. **Activate symbols** → `POST /custom-event-symbols/{eventId}/enable-all` with `{ "symbols": ["BTC-USD", "ETH-USD"] }`

### Workflow: Strategies
1. Create the strategy → `POST /visual-strategies`
2. Compile the strategy → `POST /visual-strategies/{id}/compile`
3. **Ask the user** which symbols to activate for
4. **Activate symbols** → `POST /strategy-symbols/{strategyId}/enable-all` with `{ "symbols": ["BTC-USD", "ETH-USD"] }`

### Checking Active Symbols
- Event symbols: `GET /custom-event-symbols/event/{eventId}`
- Strategy symbols: `GET /strategy-symbols/strategy/{strategyId}`
- All activations: `GET /custom-event-symbols` and `GET /strategy-symbols` (query: `?activeOnly=true`)

### Deactivating Symbols
- Event: `POST /custom-event-symbols/{eventId}/disable-all` with `{ "symbols": [...] }`
- Strategy: `POST /strategy-symbols/{strategyId}/disable-all` with `{ "symbols": [...] }`

## Response Formatting

When presenting data to users:

**Market overview:** Show price, % change, key S/R levels, and any recent events.

**Signals:** Show symbol, direction, entry, stop loss, confidence score, strategy name.

**S/R levels:** Sort by score (strongest first), show level and touch count.

**Backtests:** Show trade count, win rate, total return, Sharpe ratio, best/worst trades.

## Available Indicators

## Academy

DWLF Academy is a CDN-hosted collection of educational content (15 tracks, 60+ lessons) covering indicators, events, strategies, charting, and more. No auth required.

Use academy tools to read lesson content and understand DWLF concepts:
- `dwlf_list_academy_tracks` — browse all tracks and lessons
- `dwlf_search_academy` — search by keyword
- `dwlf_get_academy_lesson` — read a specific lesson (markdown)

When a user asks "how does X work in DWLF?" or "what is DSS?", check the academy first — it likely has a lesson explaining it.
