One Engine.
Complete Automation.

Every component works together as a single self-contained system — from market read to order submission — without a human in the loop.

🧠

AI/ML Decision Engine

A trained decision model evaluates real-time confluences across order flow, market structure, and depth data — producing a directional bias and confidence score without human judgment required.

Order Flow Analysis

Absorption traps, stacked imbalances, delta exhaustion, and volume spike detection calculated natively via ACSIL C++ on every closed bar in real time.

Adaptive Market Structure

Dynamic support and resistance grid with Daily/Weekly VWAP, Prev Day HLC, and zone index tracking. Structure levels adapt automatically — no manual adjustment needed.

Adaptive Signal Logic

Signal thresholds and confluence weights adjust dynamically as market conditions evolve — the system learns from recent bar behavior rather than relying on static parameters.

Autonomous Trade Execution

From signal confirmation to order placement, the entire execution pipeline is self-managing. Configurable position limits, session time windows, and risk rules enforce discipline automatically.

Triple Donchian Trail Stop

Three-stage trailing stop — slow, medium, and fast channels — tightens automatically as price moves in your favor, protecting profits without any manual trail management.

📓

Manual Trade Journal & AI Training

Log every manual trade you take directly inside the system. DepthIQ AI ingests your trade journal — entries, exits, conditions, and outcomes — and uses that data to retrain its decision model, so your discretionary edge becomes part of the engine's learned behavior.

The AI Decision Layer Explained

DepthIQ AI replaces the manual signal-review step with a trained AI model that fuses multi-study data into a single decision output. It evaluates order flow, depth context, and market structure simultaneously — then routes a GO/NO-GO decision directly to the execution layer in milliseconds.

Beyond autonomous execution, the AI is trainable by your own manual trades. Log trades and journal entries manually; the system ingests that data and retrains its decision weights — so discretionary experience you've built over years gets encoded directly into the engine.

No chart watching. No manual confirmation required. But when you trade manually, those trades sharpen the AI.

From Raw Data to
Executed Trade

The entire pipeline runs inside Sierra Chart — market read, AI decision, and order execution — with zero manual intervention at any step.

1

Multi-Signal Detection

The AI OrderFlow study analyzes every closed bar for absorption traps, stacked imbalances, delta exhaustion, reversal signals, and volume spikes — all computed natively in ACSIL C++ without external calls.

2

Structure & Depth Contextualization

Simultaneously, AI Levels tracks dynamic grid position, VWAP proximity, and HLC pivots — while AI Depth Context scans historical order book data for bid and ask walls, feeding all context into the decision layer.

3

Manual Trade Journal Ingestion (Optional Training Layer)

Whenever you take a trade manually — or log a discretionary decision in the Manual Trade Journal — that data enters the training pipeline. Entry conditions, direction, outcome, and market context are all captured. The AI retrains on your journal entries, encoding your discretionary edge into its learned decision weights over time.

4

AI/ML Decision

The AI Decision Engine fuses all incoming signals — plus any learned patterns from your manual trade history — into a weighted confluence score. It evaluates directional bias, confidence level, and current market regime — then outputs a GO or NO-GO decision in milliseconds. No human approval required.

5

Autonomous Order Execution

On a GO decision, AI Trade Execution places a market order directly through Sierra Chart's trade service via sc.SubmitOrder() — applying configurable position sizing, session time filters, and daily trade limits automatically.

6

Adaptive Trail Management

Once in a trade, the Triple Donchian Trail Stop activates — tightening through three stages (slow → medium → fast channel) as price moves in your favor. Profit protection is fully automatic from entry to exit.

Your license key is emailed to you automatically within seconds of purchase from sales@vfilabs.com. Run the included installer, enter your key, and the studies install directly to your Sierra Chart Data folder.

How is DepthIQ AI different from Depth Intelligence?

Depth Intelligence gives you the full order flow read and signals — with an LLM approval gate you can monitor. DepthIQ AI replaces the manual approval step with an AI/ML decision engine that fuses all signals automatically and executes without any human input at any stage. DepthIQ AI also adds Manual Trade Journal support, so the AI can be retrained on your own discretionary trades — a capability not present in Depth Intelligence.

Can I train DepthIQ AI on my own manual trades?

Yes — this is one of DepthIQ AI's core differentiators. The Manual Trade Journal lets you log every trade you take discretionarily: entry, direction, outcome, and the market context at the time. The AI Decision Engine ingests those journal entries and retrains on them, encoding your personal edge and pattern recognition directly into its learned decision weights. The more you journal, the better the AI reflects your trading style alongside its own market-data-driven signals.

Do I need to monitor the system while it trades?

No — DepthIQ AI is designed to run autonomously within the session parameters you configure. Daily trade limits, session time windows, and position sizing rules enforce risk management automatically. We recommend reviewing performance daily rather than monitoring tick by tick.

What futures markets does this work on?

Any futures market available in Sierra Chart with a data feed that provides bid/ask volume data. Works best on liquid futures like ES, NQ, CL, GC, and similar instruments.

Can I use this on two computers?

Yes — your license covers up to 2 machine activations. If you need to move to a new machine, contact sales@vfilabs.com and we will reset your activation.

Are updates included?

Yes — all future updates to DepthIQ AI are included with your purchase at no additional cost.

Is there a trial version?

We do not currently offer a free trial. If you have questions before purchasing, reach out at sales@vfilabs.com and we'll be happy to help.
