Managing Trades with Trade Fuel

Pair Pro Signals V5 entries with Simple Oscillator Pro's Trade Fuel to decide when to hold and when to take profit.

When to use it#

• You already take Pro Signals V5 trades and want a clearer exit plan.
• You often exit too early or give back too much.

Settings#

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

Step by step#

1. 1
   Match the settings in both indicators

   When Signal Mode and Minimum stars match, both track the same trade.
2. 2
   Read the fuel after entry

   Strong (green): momentum and pressure both support the trade. Fading (purple): momentum agrees but pressure turned. Empty (red): momentum crossed to the other side of 50.
3. 3
   Act on Fading and Empty

   These are good moments to take partial profit or tighten your stop. Empty is a strong hint to step aside.
4. 4
   Watch for Weakening

   A Weakening label means price made a new extreme with less momentum than the last strong push.

Managing the trade#

• Hold the runner while fuel stays Strong and price respects the Active Trend.
• Combine an Exit Flag on the chart with Fading fuel as a two-tool reason to trim.

When to skip it#

• This isn't an entry method. Use it after you're in a trade.

Common mistakes#

• Settings that don't match, so fuel doesn't track your Pro Signals trade.
• Treating one Fading candle as a reason to close everything.
