Adjusted signals

Module "Advanced Technical Analysis"

The signals are displayed in the trading system history as they are delivered by the trading system. By default, however, the signals are already shown adjusted in the price trend. This increases clarity. The following tasks are performed automatically:

• Duplicate signals of the same type are removed.
• Signal markers for the trading system's loss limit are added.
• The short signals are removed when the short sales are switched off.

This has the advantage that no unnecessary signals are displayed. Unnecessary signals are, for example, several consecutive buy signals without close-out or sell signals.

In the event that several signals occur at the same time or in the same trading period, the following conflict resolution rules apply:

• If entry and exit signals occur in the same direction, they cancel each other out, i.e. the position remains in place and no trading takes place.

• If an entry long and an entry short signal occur simultaneously, both long and short positions are terminated and no new position is entered into. This applies regardless of how the "Include short sales" parameter is set.

As a rule, the parameters "Include short sales" and "Loss limit" of the trading system are used as a basis. The performance time series, whose parameters may overlap the parameters of the trading system, are an exception. You can change the parameters of the performance time series (loss limits, expenses and treatment of short sales) via the context menu of the performance time series legend. Select the PARAMETER command there.

Note on signal marks

If you move the mouse over a signal marker, a yellow information window with information on the signal marker is displayed. You can find out more in the chapter Meaning of the signals.
