Meaning of the signals

Element	Description
Line(s)	One or more lines displayed on the chart for the trading system. Auxiliary lines are usually horizontal lines that generate a signal for the trading system (such as the 30 line in the RSI) or simply indicate certain price levels. These lines can also be hidden or shown again using the "Show guide lines" icon.

Element	Description
Long signals	Green triangle upwards below the chart line. Buy signals
Short signals	Red triangle downwards above the chart line. (Empty) sell signals. This means that any long positions are closed and a short position is opened on the basis of short signals. The security is therefore sold short.
Close-long signals	Yellow equal sign above the chart line ("close signal"). Signal to end a long phase, but without opening the opposite position at the same time. This is often referred to in the literature as a sell signal, but this is not entirely correct. This is because a sell signal also means that in this case the opposite position, i.e. also the sale of a non-existent position (short sale), is executed.
Close-short signals	Blue equal sign below the chart line. Signal to end a short phase, but without opening a long position at the same time.
Limit abort	Red equal sign above or below the chart line, depending on whether a long or short phase is interrupted by the loss limit.

If you move the mouse over a signal marker, a yellow information window appears. More on this in the following section.
