How to Use AI Trading Signals

Step 1 — Read the signal card

Every signal shows five key fields:

• Direction — BULLISH, BEARISH, or NEUTRAL
• Entry price — the price the signal was generated at. The trade is valid within 0.5% of this price.
• Stop loss — your exit if the trade goes wrong. Non-negotiable.
• Target — the profit objective. Exit fully or partially here.
• Confidence — 50–100. The AI's conviction level.

Step 2 — Check the risk/reward

Before considering any signal, calculate: (Target − Entry) ÷ (Entry − Stop). TradeMind AI only publishes signals with R/R ≥ 1.5. If a signal slipped through below that, skip it.

Step 3 — Size your position

Never risk more than 1–2% of your total account on a single signal. Use the position sizer on the signal card: enter your account size and it calculates the maximum share count so your loss if the stop hits equals your chosen risk amount.

Step 4 — Set the stop before you enter

Place your stop order as soon as you enter the position. Do not wait. Do not move it further away if price falls — that is how small losses become catastrophic ones.

Step 5 — Let it resolve

Signals auto-resolve when price hits the target or stop. You do not need to monitor constantly. Set your stop, optionally set a limit sell at the target, and step away. Watching the price tick-by-tick leads to emotional decisions.

What to do when a signal hits its target

Congratulations — take the profit. Resist the urge to "let it run" beyond the target without a new signal. The target is where the AI's analysis suggests the move completes. Beyond that, the edge is gone.

What to do when a stop is hit

Exit. Immediately. A stop being hit means the signal thesis was wrong. Re-entering the same trade hoping for a bounce is called "averaging down" and is one of the most common ways traders turn small losses into large ones.
