3. HOW IT WORKS
Core Calculation & Logic
The Pip Movement Alert monitors price changes in specified currency pairs, triggering alerts when the price shifts by a user-defined number of pips. This helps traders identify significant market movements in real-time.
It calculates the current price and compares it to the last alert price, ensuring that alerts are sent only when the price movement meets the defined pip distance. This mathematical basis allows traders to stay informed about important market shifts.
BUY and SELL Signal Conditions
BUY Signal — When does it appear? A BUY signal is generated when the current price exceeds the opening price by the specified number of pips, and the price movement is confirmed by the remainder calculation.
SELL Signal — When does it appear? A SELL signal is triggered when the current price falls below the opening price by the specified pip distance, confirmed by the same remainder calculation.
Signal Confirmation: Traders receive alerts via notifications or emails, indicating the price movement direction and the specific currency pair involved.
Recommended Action: It is advisable to confirm signals with higher time frame analysis and consider placing stop-loss orders to manage risk effectively.
