How to select a signal:
You can select a signal directly from the homepage by clicking on the tile on the Tab View or the line on the List View. Alternatively, refine your selection by using one of the several filters available. These include:
1. Confidence
The Confidence bar allows you to filter trade ideas between 0% and 100% confidence.
This rating is a rating score, calculated using a proprietary formula. Includes trend, analyst performance, and sentiment analysis data.
2. Class
The Class tab allows traders to filter by the type of asset they are most interested in. Choose from All, FX, Commodities, and Indices.
3. Status
This filter allows the trader to select a trade idea based on its current status. The status is updated throughout the day as the trade idea progresses
Traders can select signals from the following:
- All
- Expired - if the signal has not performed within the expiry time, the status will change to 'expired' and the tab or line item will be greyed out
- Sell/Buy Limit/Stop - depending on the type of signal, it will be labeled as one of the following categories:
- Sell Limit - Pending order showing the level above to open a short position
- Sell Stop - Pending order showing the level below to open a short position
- Buy Limit - Pending order showing the level below to open a long position
- Buy Stop - Pending order showing the level above to open a long position
- Live trade - if the price reaches its entry level the signal status will be changed to 'Live Trade.' Once the trade is live, we want to see the price reach the first target level and ideally the second target level
Understanding the signal:
Each trade idea on the homepage displays key information about the trade to help you time your entry and exit positions. By clicking on the trade idea more details are revealed including additional data sets and the strategy behind each trade.
Status & Key Levels:
Use the key levels to understand the parameters of the signal - where our analysts are looking to enter the trade, where to target, and where they will place their stop loss.
The status of the trade idea will change as the trade progresses throughout the day, determined by the target levels set.
