Every trade you "take" from a signal card lives here. Open trades auto-close as win/loss when price hits TP1 or SL on the next data refresh. You can also mark them manually or delete them.
High-impact events from ForexFactory this week. Avoid entering trades 30 min before/after.
Each signal is tracked and measured against whether price hit TP1 or SL first. Indicator weights adapt based on hit-rate. Per-pair and per-hour stats also feed a context boost so signals generated during times/pairs that historically win get a small confidence bump.
Forex trading principles
💰 Risk management (the #1 thing)
- Never risk more than 1–2% per trade. Even 10 losses in a row only drops you 10–20%.
- Always set a stop loss before entering. No exceptions.
- Minimum 1:2 risk-to-reward — the app's TP2 is designed for this.
- If you break a rule, close the trade. Discipline > analysis.
⏰ Session timing
- London/NY overlap (13:00–16:00 UTC): highest liquidity, tightest spreads — best for scalping and breakouts.
- Asian session: slower, more ranging — better for mean-reversion plays on JPY pairs.
- Avoid Friday close & Sunday open: thin liquidity, gap risk.
- Avoid red-folder news ± 30 min: spreads widen, stops get hunted. Check Calendar tab.
📈 What the indicators actually tell you
- RSI — overbought/oversold. Best in ranges; lies in strong trends (stays pinned >70 or <30).
- MACD — momentum shifts. Lag behind price by design.
- EMA stack (20/50/200) — trend direction. If all three align, trend is your friend.
- Bollinger Bands — volatility. Squeezes → breakouts. Tags of outer bands → mean reversion.
- ADX — trend strength. >25 = trade with trend. <20 = range-trade.
- Candlestick patterns — only reliable at support/resistance or after extended moves.
🎯 The "high-probability" setup checklist
- Higher timeframe trend aligned with your entry direction
- Price at a clear support or resistance level
- Confirmation candle (engulfing, pin bar, etc.)
- Momentum oscillator (RSI/Stoch) diverging or at extreme
- Entering during London or NY session, not Asian doldrums
- No red-folder news in the next 30 min
- Pre-planned stop loss and target — before you click the button
🧠 Psychology — the silent killer
- Revenge trading (doubling up after a loss) destroys more accounts than bad analysis.
- If you're on tilt, walk away — markets are open 24/5, the opportunity will come back.
- Keep a journal (the My Trades tab is one). Review losses without judgment.
- Your win rate doesn't have to be high. 40% win rate with 1:2 R:R is still profitable.
🚫 The mistakes that blow accounts
- No stop loss "because the trade will come back"
- Moving stop losses further away
- Overleveraging — anything above 5:1 effective leverage is roulette
- Trading every signal instead of the best ones
- Trading news events without understanding spreads + slippage
- Copying signals blindly without understanding the setup
How ForexSight builds a signal
For each pair, 9 independent signals each cast a vote (bullish / bearish / neutral) on 1-hour candles:
- RSI, MACD, EMA stack, Short-term EMA, Bollinger Bands, Stochastic, ADX — classical technical indicators
- Candlestick patterns — engulfing, hammer, shooting star, morning/evening star
- Support / Resistance — pivot points from the last 50 bars
Each vote is weighted by that indicator's historical hit-rate. The weighted majority sets direction; its weighted share sets the confluence %. That score is then multiplied by a session liquidity factor (London/NY overlap gets a 10% boost, off-hours a 10% penalty) and a per-pair + per-hour context boost (if a pair historically wins during this hour of day, its confidence gets a small bump — capped at ±50%).
Entry = current price. Stop Loss = entry ± 1.5 × ATR(14). TP1 = entry ± 1.5 × ATR (1:1 R:R). TP2 = entry ± 3 × ATR (1:2 R:R).
