Navigate to the Watch Signals page to access the symbol-agnostic strategy builder for monitoring market conditions across multiple assets.

3

Configure Indicator Parameters

Set the specific parameters for each indicator card, including indicator type, threshold values, and the conditions that trigger a signal.

4

Combine Multiple Indicators

Add several indicator cards and define how they interact to create compound monitoring conditions that capture complex market patterns.

5

Review Signal Configuration

Verify your complete signal setup in the condition summary panel to ensure all indicators and their relationships are correctly defined.

6

Generate the Watch Signal Strategy

Click the Generate button to compile your configured indicators into a watch signal strategy that can monitor market conditions in real time.

Note Watch Signals are symbol-agnostic strategies for monitoring market conditions without requiring specific asset or timeframe definitions

Tips & Best Practices

Tip Watch Signals are symbol-agnostic by design, making them ideal for scanning broad market conditions before narrowing down to specific assets
Tip Combine two or three complementary indicators for more reliable signals rather than relying on a single indicator alone
Tip Use watch signals as a pre-screening step to identify opportunities, then build specific entry and exit strategies for the assets that match

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Watch Signals different from Entry or Exit strategies?
Watch Signals do not require a target definition such as a specific asset, timeframe, or trade direction. They focus purely on monitoring market conditions and identifying potential opportunities across all assets.
How many indicators can I add to a single watch signal?
You can add multiple indicator cards to create compound conditions. However, keeping your signal focused on two to four well-chosen indicators typically produces more actionable and reliable results.
When should I use Watch Signals versus building a full strategy?
Use Watch Signals when you want to scan the market for conditions without committing to a specific asset. Once a watch signal identifies an opportunity, create a full entry and exit strategy targeting that specific asset and timeframe.

Important Notes

Warning Watch Signals monitor market conditions and do not execute trades automatically. They should be used in conjunction with proper entry and exit strategies and sound risk management.
