Signal-Only Mode
An operating mode where the bot monitors and reports trade opportunities without executing — the user reviews signals and acts manually.
Signal-only mode is used on platforms that do not support automated order placement or where the platform's terms restrict automated transactions. The bot runs the strategy logic, evaluates signals, and logs opportunities — but it does not submit orders through the adapter.
In signal-only mode, the bot writes signals to a local file or displays them in the terminal. Each signal includes the action type, the asset, the price, and the confidence level. The user reviews the signal and decides whether to execute manually on the platform.
Six platforms in the botwir3 guide library operate in signal-only mode: PredictIt, Zillow, Redfin, CarGurus, Steam, and Roblox. Each guide specifies the mode and explains the platform restriction. The bot's strategy logic runs identically in both modes — the difference is whether the adapter submits the action or the user does.
