WARRIOR EA - ALTERNATIVE DATA SYMBOL CATALOG ============================================ The EA maps the chart's symbol to an alt-data instrument automatically. Broker tickers differ wildly (Dukascopy "USA500IDX", OANDA "SPX500", FTMO "US500.cash"), so the catalog lists the common names for each instrument, and any leftover suffix is absorbed by prefix matching - US500, US500.cash, US500.r, US500pro and US500m all resolve to SP500 from the single alias "US500". Source of truth: System\AltDataFetch.mqh -> BuildCatalog(). IF YOUR SYMBOL IS NOT RECOGNISED -------------------------------- A dialog appears on the chart asking which instrument it is, with a dropdown of everything below. Pick one and it is saved forever in %APPDATA%\MetaQuotes\Terminal\Common\Files\Warrior_EA\AltData\symbol_map.cfg Choosing "No alternative data" records that too, so it never asks again. The EA trains and trades normally either way - an unmapped symbol simply contributes zero alt-data features. To map by hand (or to change an answer), edit that file - one line each: USA500IDX=SP500 MYWEIRDTICKER=NONE Delete a line to be asked again at the next attach. POLICY (owner decision 2026-08-16): every feature the fetched sources can serve is wired on every symbol. The research screens inform priors but do not gate the input list - the networks decide what is useful, and the deploy gate decides whether anything trained on these is ever allowed to trade.

Everything else is untested on its instrument. NOT WIRED --------- Gold/silver/copper COT positioning (CFTC disaggregated report - different dataset id and columns), and silver IV (VXSLV discontinued). GEX records daily to gex_{SYMBOL}.csv but feeds nothing until ~a year of history exists. NOT WIRED --------- Gold and WTI COT positioning exist, but in the CFTC's DISAGGREGATED report - a different dataset id with different column names than the financial-futures report this EA queries. Metals and energy therefore carry no COT columns.
