2. Check levels — Use get_key_levels for precise support/resistance
3. Get signal — Feed GEX bias, VEX bias, and VIX trend into get_signal
4. Validate with history — Use run_report or run_backtest to check if the setup has edge
5. Execute — Open a paper_trade (or live_open if enabled) at signal levels
6. Manage — Track and close positions based on level targets
