TRADEFROMCHART GUIDES

Trading Signals Window

he trading signals window offers you a choice of mechanical algorithmic issued signals developed by Tom Hougaard. It includes the Advanced School Run and School Run for DAX, Brunch break for DAX, First Bar negative for the FTSE, Advanced School Run and School Run for the Dow and School Run for the Nasdaq. And many more to come!


In order to connect to our signals API, please make sure that you have the toggle switched on. Upon first load it will connect automatically.

When a signal is issued by our algorithms and are sent to you, they will be visible on the current or previous tab (if you have audio notifications on, they will make a sound). It shows the entry price, stop and limit point options and also allows you to see the signal line on the chart by double clicking the blue eye icon. After the signal line is visible on the chart, clicking the Trade button on the signal line will automatically create an order on the price level indicated. The size will be the default you set for the market the signal is for.

The settings tab has the following options:

This Market Only - Filter signals only for the current market

Compact Mode - Saves screen space by hiding certain elements from the window

Auto Show Signal Line - When a signal is sent, automatically show the signal line on the chart (if the signal matches the current market open)

Signal Audio Notification - Choose from a choice of audio notifications when a signal is sent
Hide Signals Issued - Hide Signals after x minutes passed (helps to declutter)
