19. How Signals Are Generated

The signal engine looks for trade opportunities using a combination of:

• EMA crossover logic
• Trend position versus trend EMA
• RSI direction and zone logic
• MACD histogram direction
• ATR based movement context
• Volume comparison
• Higher timeframe bias
• Spread check
• Session check
• Confirmation count

Signals are not shown just because of one condition. The product combines multiple checks, then calculates a score, and only after that decides whether the signal should be visible.

20. Buy Signal Logic Simplified

A buy setup generally needs bullish crossover and bullish market context. The product then checks whether trend, RSI, MACD, volume, and higher timeframe alignment support the setup.

21. Sell Signal Logic Simplified

A sell setup generally needs bearish crossover and bearish market context. The product then checks whether trend, RSI, MACD, volume, and higher timeframe alignment support the setup.

22. What Signal Score Means

The score is the overall quality strength of the setup based on the product logic. Higher score usually means more conditions are aligned.

In simple words:

• Lower valid score means the setup passed but is weaker
• Middle score means balanced setup
• Higher score means stronger alignment

23. What Confirmation Count Means

Confirmation count tells you how many supporting conditions are present. This helps you quickly judge whether a signal is supported by multiple factors or only a few.

24. Understanding Panel Columns

Depending on screen size and panel layout, you may see columns such as:

• Number
• Age
• Symbol
• Direction
• Score
• Confirmations
• Price
• ATR
• RSI
• MACD
• MA related view
• BB related view
• Stochastic related view
• Higher timeframe status
• Candle information
• Volume information
• Top reason
• Trade related information

25. New Signals and Old Signals

The panel separates:

• New signals
• Old continuing signals

This is very useful because the user can immediately focus on fresh opportunities first, while still keeping track of already active or continuing setups.

26. How To Read A Signal Properly

When you see a signal, check it in this order:

1. Symbol
2. Direction
3. Score
4. Confirmations
5. Higher timeframe trend
6. Reason text
7. Entry
8. Stop loss
9. Take profit levels
10. Spread condition

27. Entry And Exit Information

The product can show:

• Entry price
• Stop loss
• Take profit 1
• Take profit 2
• Take profit 3
• Lot size context
• ATR context
• Higher timeframe state

28. Stop Loss Behavior

Stop loss can be structure based or multiplier based. If structure based stop loss is enabled, the product looks at swing context and may place stop loss according to nearby structure logic. If not, it uses a volatility distance style logic.

29. Take Profit Behavior

Take profits are based on reward ratio levels:

• TP1 based on PS_TP1_RR
• TP2 based on PS_TP2_RR
• TP3 based on PS_TP3_RR

30. Lot Size Behavior

If fixed lot is disabled, the product can estimate lot size using account balance, risk percent, stop distance, and symbol volume settings.

31. Spread Filter

If spread is too high, the signal can be rejected. This helps avoid low quality trade conditions caused by poor pricing.

32. Session Filter

If the current time is outside your allowed session, signals may not appear even if market conditions match otherwise.

33. Symbol Availability Filter

If a symbol is disabled, unavailable, or not actively tradable at the broker level, it may not be scanned successfully.

34. Why Some Symbols Show No Signals

• No valid setup exists
• Spread is too high
• Not enough bars are available
• Symbol is not tradable
• Session filter is blocking it
• Minimum score is too high
• Confirmations are too strict
• Higher timeframe alignment is missing

35. Recommended Setup For Beginners

• Use a small symbol list
• Start with Swing or Default preset
• Keep minimum score moderate
• Allow both buy and sell signals
• Use all sessions first, then narrow later
• Watch signal score and confirmation count before acting

36. Recommended Setup For Gold Traders

• Use only XAUUSD or a very small list
• Use Gold preset
• Watch spread carefully
• Prefer London and New York session activity
• Check higher timeframe direction before taking lower timeframe setups

37. Recommended Setup For Forex Traders

• Use major pairs first
• Use Default, Swing, or Intraday mode based on your trading style
• Keep volume and trend filters enabled
• Use score and confirmations together

38. Recommended Setup For Scalpers

• Use Scalping trade mode
• Use fewer symbols
• Keep fast refresh interval
• Watch spread carefully
• Prefer very active session hours

39. Recommended Setup For Swing Traders

• Use Swing trade mode
• Use Swing or Conservative preset
• Allow higher timeframe bias
• Use stricter score filters

40. Panel Buttons And Actions

Depending on the visible panel, you may use functions like:

• Scan now
• Refresh symbols
• Minimize or maximize panel
• Open history view
• Scroll up and down
• Sort by score, symbol, direction, ATR, RSI, volume, or confirmations
• Filter buy and sell visibility
• Toggle new signals only

41. Sorting

Sorting helps you reorganize visible signals.

Examples:

• Sort by score to see strongest signals first
• Sort by symbol for cleaner browsing
• Sort by confirmations to see the most supported setups
• Sort by ATR or volume to find more active instruments

42. History View

The product includes history related structures for previous signals and panel tracking. This helps the user review earlier signal context and follow signal evolution more clearly.

43. Live Price Updates

When live price updates are enabled, the panel refreshes current price information at your chosen interval.

44. Auto Scan Behavior

The product runs scans repeatedly based on the scan interval. If you want faster updates, reduce the interval. If you want less load, increase the interval.

45. How To Use This Product Properly

1. Choose your markets
2. Choose your trade mode
3. Choose your preset
4. Set filters
5. Scan
6. Review score and confirmations
7. Check entry, stop loss, and targets
8. Confirm manually if you want extra safety
9. Manage risk

46. What This Product Is Not

This product is not magic and should not be used blindly without understanding score, confirmation, spread, and session context. It is a decision support and opportunity finding tool.

47. Risk Management Advice

• Never risk too much on one signal
