What is a Trading Signal?

Entry price, stop, and target — how AI-generated signals work and how to read them.

The simple version

A trading signal is a structured recommendation that tells you three things: where to enter a trade, where to exit if it goes wrong (stop), and where to exit if it goes right (target).

A signal is not a prediction. It is a plan — and like any plan, it can be wrong.

What makes a signal auditable?

Most "trading alerts" online are unverifiable. They show winners and hide losers. They edit predictions after the fact.

TradeMind AI signals are different:

  • Locked at generation — the entry, stop, and target are frozen the moment the signal is created. They cannot be changed.
  • Timestamped — every signal has a creation time that proves it was issued before the price move happened.
  • Auto-resolved — when price hits the target or stop, the outcome is recorded automatically. No human judgement involved.
  • Public forever — losing signals stay on the record. Nothing is deleted.

How to read a signal card

  • Direction — BULLISH (expecting price to rise), BEARISH (fall), or NEUTRAL
  • Entry — the price at which the trade makes sense. Valid within about 0.5% of this price.
  • Stop — your maximum loss level. Exit here if the trade goes wrong.
  • Target — the profit goal. Exit here if the trade goes right.
  • Confidence — 50–100, how certain the AI is. 80+ is high conviction.

Not sure what to do with a signal? Start with the Simple Mode toggle on any signal card — it strips out the jargon and shows just the essential information.
