A signal you cannot explain is a tip, not a strategy. This page documents exactly how the desk produces every alert — what has to line up before a signal goes out, the risk rules that are never waived, and the situations in which we deliberately do nothing.
Confluence first: technical and fundamental together
No signal is published on a single indicator. The desk requires confluence — independent factors pointing the same way — before an alert goes out.
On the technical side: trend structure on the higher timeframes, established support and resistance zones, momentum confirmation and the liquidity profile of the current session. On the fundamental side: the macro calendar, central-bank pricing and the prevailing risk sentiment across assets. A technically perfect setup that fights the macro backdrop is skipped; a strong macro story without a clean level to trade against is skipped too.
Risk rules on every signal
- A stop loss is fixed before publication — a signal without an invalidation level does not exist here
- Every signal carries at least one defined take-profit target; strong setups carry TP2/TP3 extensions
- We recommend risking 1–2% of your account per trade, never more
- No averaging into losing positions and no moving stops away from price
- Running trades receive management updates — break-even moves, partial closes, extended targets
When we don't trade
Standing aside is a position. The desk deliberately goes quiet in conditions where the edge disappears:
- The minutes around high-impact releases — NFP, CPI, FOMC and central-bank decisions — when spreads blow out and slippage is unpredictable
- Holiday and late-Friday liquidity, when thin books make levels unreliable
- Markets with unclear structure — if the chart requires imagination, there is no signal
Verification and publication
Every signal is timestamped on Telegram at the moment it is issued, with entry, take profit and stop loss already attached — outcomes are never claimed after the fact. Closed trades feed the weekly report, which tallies accuracy by points, not by trade count, and the running record is public on the performance page. Recent closed signals are listed on the signals page.
Accuracy by points: the standard behind every weekly result
Accuracy by points is the measure Best Trading Signal uses for every published week. It is the share of points won out of all points that closed: the take-profit points gained, divided by the take-profit points gained plus the stop-loss points lost. Break-even trades move no points, so they count as neither a win nor a loss.
We use it instead of the familiar trade-count win rate because a win rate treats a 20-point win and a 500-point loss as equals. Measured by points, one large loss drags the week down at full weight, and a string of small wins cannot hide it. That is the property a results claim needs if it is going to be trusted.
A real example is the week of 21–25 September 2026: 38 signals, 23 wins, 8 losses and 7 break-even. The winners gained 5,270 points and the losers gave back 890, so the week closed at +4,380 net and 5,270 ÷ 6,160 = 85.55% accuracy by points. Every week in the performance record is calculated the same way, with nothing adjusted after the fact.
How accuracy by points is calculated (week of 21–25 September 2026)
| Step | Figure |
|---|---|
| Points gained on winning trades | +5,270 |
| Points lost on losing trades | −890 |
| Total points moved | 6,160 |
| Net points (gained − lost) | +4,380 |
| Accuracy by points (gained ÷ total moved) | 85.55% |

Limitations — what a signal cannot do
Signals are professional opinions about probable price moves, not certainties, and this methodology does not eliminate risk — it manages it. Individual results differ with spreads, execution timing and position sizing, and past performance does not guarantee future outcomes. Signals are general analysis, not personal investment advice; if you are unsure whether leveraged trading suits your circumstances, consult an independent financial adviser and read our risk disclosure.
