How Our Signals Work

This page explains exactly what our signals mean, how they’re generated, and how we assume you’ll manage risk. No mystery indicators or “secret sauce” — just clear rules.

Pairs we focus on

We primarily cover liquid, widely-traded FX pairs to keep spreads tight and execution consistent:

• Majors: EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, AUDUSD, NZDUSD, USDCAD, USDCHF
• Selected crosses: EURJPY, GBPJPY, EURGBP, AUDJPY (as conditions allow)

Over time we may add or remove symbols depending on volatility, spreads, and data quality.

Timeframes & style

Our core signal engine is built around the 1-hour timeframe:

• Average holding time: a few hours to a couple of days
• Designed for swing / intraday traders, not high-frequency scalping
• Analysis combines structure, momentum, volatility and regime filters

Risk model we assume

Signals are built around a simple risk template. You’re free to adjust, but this is the framework we have in mind when designing and backtesting:

• Risk per trade: typically 1–2% of account balance
• Stop loss: around 20 pips from entry (varies by pair / volatility)
• Take profit: around 30 pips from entry
• Reward : Risk: roughly 1.5 : 1 for standard setups
• Max open exposure: we encourage no more than 2–3 correlated trades at once

Example: with a \$1,000 account and 1% risk per trade (=\$10), a 20-pip stop means about \$0.50 per pip total exposure (position size adjusted per pair).

Anatomy of a signal

Each signal on the platform is stored in your signals table and includes:

• Pair: e.g. EURUSD, GBPJPY
• Action / Type: Buy or Sell
• Entry: suggested entry price (or zone)
• TP: target price, usually ~30 pips away
• SL: protective stop, usually ~20 pips away
• Source: Bot or Manual (discretionary)
• Probability: model-estimated confidence score (0–1)
• Status: Open, Win, Loss (updated as trades play out)

Example signal

Pair: EURUSD
Direction: BUY
Entry: 1.0800
Stop loss: 1.0780  (-20 pips)
Take profit: 1.0830 (+30 pips)
Source: Bot
Probability: 0.78
Status: open

This is not a live trade idea — it’s an example structure so you know how to read the real thing in your dashboard.

How to actually use the signals

Check the market context (news, volatility, trend) before you place anything.
Size your position according to your max risk per trade (1–2% recommended).
Use the provided SL/TP as a framework, not a promise. Adjust for spread / slippage.
Track outcomes over a sample of at least 50–100 trades before judging performance.
Review losing trades: Were they bad signals, bad timing — or risk / psychology issues?

Signals are meant to speed up your analysis, not replace it. You are always responsible for your own trades and risk.
