Signals
Signals you still have to place
A signal is an idea: a symbol, a direction, and often a stop and a target. It does not move your money until you place the order, or until you have attached a product that does. The gap between the signal and your fill is your responsibility.

Stops are part of the idea
Taking the entry and deleting the stop is a different trade from the one that was published.

Automation is copy
If a setting sends the order for you, you have moved from signals to copy. Read that scale carefully.

How to use a signal properly
Treat it as a starting note, then do your own ticket check.
- Is the symbol the same one on your desk?
- Is the market open, and is the spread normal?
- Does the stop distance fit your size?
- Do you already hold something that doubles this risk?
What signals cannot do
They do not remove uncertainty.
- They do not know your wallet.
- They do not guarantee the target.
- They can arrive late.
- They are not personal advice.
FAQ
Are signals free?
Some are included and some charge. The offer states the fee. A fee does not improve the hit rate.
What if I disagree?
Do nothing. A signal is optional. That is the difference from a mandate.
Can signals run while I sleep?
Only if you have turned on an automatic copy. Otherwise nothing is sent until you submit an order.
Signal symbols
Pairs and indices a signal can name. You still place the order.
