Information
What is the difference between a trading signal and a trading strategy?
A signal is a combination of criteria which lead to the opening of a position. The trader can then decide how he manages the open position. A trading strategy contains in addition rules regarding the acceptance or rejection of signals and rules on how an open position is managed. Many of the trading signals are also available as a component of a trading strategy.
How do I implement a trading signal?
If you just want a notification when a signal occurs and open your position manually, activate a pop-up message, a sound alarm and/or an e-mail. You can do this directly in the chart. If you want to automate the opening of a position the most simple solution is to use Tactic orders.
