This is a real signal pulled from our engine right now - same data you'll see on the homepage.
| Indicator | Signal | Str | Reading |
|---|---|---|---|
| RSI | - | 20 | Neutral (50) |
| Bollinger | - | 10 | Mid-range (50%) |
| MACD | ▲ CALL | 55 | Bullish trend |
| Stochastic | - | 15 | Mid-range (K=26) |
1. Direction & Confidence
The big word at the top - CALL - is what the indicators are saying. It's the trade direction you'd use on your broker.
- CALL = indicators point up - price may rise from here
- PUT = indicators point down - price may drop from here
- WAIT = indicators are split or flat - don't force a trade, sit this one out
The Confidence score (78%) runs from 0 to 95. Higher means the indicators agree more strongly. At 78%, that's moderate conviction - worth a look, but check the risk grade before you commit.
Agreement (100%) tells you what share of active indicators point the same way. At 100%, most indicators agree - that's a cleaner, higher-quality signal.
⚠️ This signal has a HIGH risk grade - meaning indicators are conflicting or data is sparse. Trade smaller or skip this one.
2. Strength Bar
The STR bar (55) measures how extreme the indicator readings are, from 0 to 100. A number near 80+ means the indicators are at extremes - deeply oversold or overbought, which often signals a reversal. A low number means the signal is mild and may not play out as strongly.
- 0-40: Mild - the indicators barely lean one way
- 40-70: Moderate - a clear lean, worth paying attention
- 70-100: Strong - indicators are at extremes, signal has weight
For binary options, higher strength often correlates with clearer reversals - but extremes can also mean the trend is intense. Use strength together with the timeframe: on 1M, high strength fades fast; on 1H, it tends to hold longer.
3. Confluence - Reading the Vote
The green/red bar below the strength shows how each indicator voted:
1 bullish (CALL) · 0 bearish (PUT) · 3 neutral (no signal)
The ratio 1/0 is a quick health check. 1 or fewer indicators active - the signal is driven by a single indicator. Trade carefully.
4. Indicator Table
Four rows - one per indicator - with individual verdicts and strength scores:
- RSI - overbought (>70) or oversold (<30). Extreme readings often precede reversals.
- Bollinger Bands - where price sits within the volatility bands. Near the lower band = oversold, near the upper band = overbought.
- MACD - trend direction and momentum. A "cross" (bullish_cross or bearish_cross) is a stronger signal than a simple "trend."
- Stochastic - short-term momentum. K below 20 = oversold, K above 80 = overbought.
When all 4 indicators agree, you have a Low Risk signal. When they split, the risk grade goes up - use your judgment.
5. Price Context
The bottom row gives you quick market context:
- Price - current bid price
- Spread - difference between bid and ask, as a percentage. Lower spreads (<0.1%) are better for short-expiry trades.
- 24h - how much the pair moved in the last 24 hours. Big moves = more volatility.
- Day pos - where the current price sits within the 24h range. 0% = at the low, 100% = at the high. Mid-range (40-60%) = price is consolidating.
6. Risk Grade
LOW: Most indicators agree, data is clean. Higher confidence trade.
MEDIUM: Some disagreement among indicators, or one indicator is borderline. Trade with normal caution.
HIGH: Indicators conflict significantly or data is sparse/flatlined. Consider skipping this trade or reducing your position.
Risk grade is the single most important thing to check before you place a trade. A CALL with 95% confidence but HIGH risk is less reliable than a CALL at 70% confidence with LOW risk. Always glance at the risk grade first - it'll save you from bad entries.
