Keyword rules
Two lists per channel:
| Rule | Example | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Require | signal, entry, buy, sell | Chatter without any of these never reaches the parser |
| Block | results, recap, giveaway, vip | End-of-day recaps stop being re-traded |
The require-list is the filter that silences a channel completely. If signals stop arriving, empty it first and re-test before looking anywhere else.
Symbol allowlist
Restrict a channel to the instruments you actually want. Anything outside the list is logged and skipped — useful when a provider mixes indices or crypto into a forex feed, or when your broker does not carry a symbol.
Trading hours
Limit a channel to the sessions you trust it in. Signals outside the window are recorded but not executed, so afterwards you can check whether the filter cost you anything.
Duplicates
Providers repost setups and forward them into second channels. PipSync fingerprints each signal and refuses to open a second identical position within the dedupe window. If you want two positions from one setup, link two accounts to the source rather than connecting the channel twice.
