Reconsider the Signals algorithm that hides a signal after a few days of no trading.

I hope the platform will update its algorithm to evaluate longer windows—such as 60+ days—rather than such a short period. Some strategies are low frequency and it is illogical to dictate the number of trades to be made say in a week.

I'm not sure what you mean. As a test of sorts, I just randomly viewed a Signal and its history showed 47 weeks going back to June of 2025.

As a signal provider if you dont trade in say 7 days, it will be archived till when you make a trade then it will be back as active and listed.
 
Like this.

Yuck.🤢

Clearly, short-term trading is heavily promoted in the Signals listings. When we consider the small amount of capital that the average new trader has, and the fact that new traders are likely to let someone else make trading decisions for them, there you have it. Those traders often cannot afford the wide stops involved in mid-term nor long-term trading─nor will they wait for slow and steady profits. The Signals rule aligns with the "get rich quick" mentality of inexperienced traders.

I rarely hold trades beyond 24 hours but I can take days before making an entry. True. People believe in opening trades each and every single day instead of focusing on profitability. Even 1 profitable trade in 30 days can be enough rather than 100 trades with an overall loss. :D

i think you are wrong about it being archived. this term suggests that the signal service is removed from the signals search page, however, i just now did a search and found 3 with same warnings of "no trading activity for 7 days". and all 3 have 0 trades open. or at least pnl is showin 0, suggesting that they do not have any open trades.

Whenever the warning comes, the signal gets removed from the active tab shown in the attached image and returned if I open a trade. Maybe it depends whether it has subscribers or not.

Could be. I just did a search for your Signal by name and it's a ghost─no results whatsover.

At some point, a person has to decide whether to predominantly be in the business of trading or be in the business of sales. Those 2 businesses have much different endgames, unfortunately.

what is age of the signal page? i am sure that is biggest factor in reliability rating.

Also there has been a few threads mentioning that when profit is over 50% a month, then, this month is ignored by the ratings calculation. maybe you did a month like this?

with inital deposit of $10 i am surprised that your signal service is displayed at all. imo all looks good to me, just keep doing what you doing and rating will improve.

But also -- with sub cost of $30, then, i doubt a subscriber would make enuf to cover the cost of subscription each month. even so, imo keep doing what you doing and your rating will improve as your account grows up(gets older).
