Default Swing Setup

The starting point for most traders. Few signals, wide stops, and a clear plan for every trade.

When to use it#

• You're new to Pro Signals V5 and want to learn how it behaves.
• You check charts a few times a day, not every minute.
• You prefer fewer, cleaner trades over constant action.

Settings#

Anything not listed stays on its default. See the Full Settings Reference for every option.

Step by step#

1. 1
   Wait for a signal on a closed candle

   Signals only confirm once the candle closes. Don't act on a candle that's still forming.
2. 2
   Hover the signal and read the Why

   Know which of the five checks passed. If one failed, know which one and why it matters.
3. 3
   Look left for nearby levels

   Skip signals that print straight into a support or resistance zone with little room to TP1.
4. 4
   Enter with the stop shown

   Use the size on the label so hitting the stop costs about your chosen risk.
5. 5
   Scale out at the targets

   Take part at TP1 (the stop moves to entry), more at TP2, and let the rest run toward TP3.

Managing the trade#

• After TP1, your worst case on the rest is roughly break even.
• If the trend flips before a target, the trade closes. Accept it and wait for the next one.
• Don't move the stop further away to avoid being stopped out.

When to skip it#

• A big news release is due within the next hour or two.
• The Market row on the dashboard reads choppy.
• TP1 sits on the other side of a strong level.

Common mistakes#

• Entering before the candle closes, then watching the signal disappear.
• Raising risk after a loss to win it back.
• Ignoring the Why and treating every star rating the same.
