Understanding Signals
📊 Signal Types
🟢 BUY Signal (Green Arrow):
- Go LONG (buy) at this level
- Confluence score shown on label (5/7, 6/7, 7/7)
- Higher score = Higher probability
- Entry: As close to the arrow as possible
🔴 SELL Signal (Red Arrow):
- Go SHORT (sell) at this level
- Same confluence scoring system
- Entry: As close to the arrow as possible
🟡 Peak Profit Zone:
- Yellow shaded area = Optimal exit zone
- Close 30-50% of position here
- Trail stop on remaining position
Step-by-Step Trading Process
1 Wait for Signal
- Monitor your chart for BUY/SELL arrows
- Or set up alerts (see section 6)
- Don't force trades - wait for quality signals
2 Check Confluence Score
- Look at the number on the arrow label
- 7/7: Extremely strong (rare, highest quality)
- 6/7: Very strong (excellent quality)
- 5/7: Strong (good quality, minimum to trade)
- Below 5/7: Skip the signal
3 Verify Market Context
- Check the dashboard in top-right corner
- Ensure no high-impact news in next 2 hours
- Verify you're in optimal trading session (London/NY)
- Confirm trend direction on higher timeframe
4 Enter the Trade
- Entry: At signal price (or next candle open)
- Stop Loss: Below recent swing low (BUY) or above swing high (SELL)
- Take Profit: Peak Profit zone OR 2:1 minimum R:R
- Position Size: 1-2% of account (never more)
5 Manage the Trade
- Move stop to breakeven after +10 points profit
- Close 33% at Peak Profit zone
- Trail stop on remaining position
- Exit if opposite signal appears
Best Practices
