Signal library

100+ signals on every account, each with its verified record.

Trend, momentum, volatility, mean-reversion, breakout, TD Sequential, candlestick, volume, multi-timeframe and index signals come installed. Each one is backtested in every market and timeframe on past data, after fees and slippage, out of sample. Only the ones that pass can suggest a trade; the rest are shown as information only.

How it works

Honest by construction.

Live on every candle

Installed signals run on each closed candle for your watchlist, your holdings and the market scanner. Indicators are shared and updated incrementally, so 100+ signals stay cheap.

Suggested actions, not orders

A verified signal that fires becomes an idea with entry, stop, target, size, reasons and its record. Copilot waits for your approval; Autopilot goes through the risk gate and trades paper unless you enable live.

Verified, or information only

A signal is verified in a market only when its out-of-sample expectancy after costs is positive over enough trades. Nothing is cherry-picked: every signal and its result is listed below.

Yours to change

Switch any signal off, or clone it into your own custom signal and edit it in the signal builder.
