How to Use Trading Signals | Nextrader Tutorial

1

What the Signals page does

The Signals page scans live markets and tells you when several technical indicators line up in the same direction.

You don't need to read charts yourself — the page calculates EMA, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands and candlestick patterns for you.

Best for: beginners who want clear buy/sell prompts.

Understanding the indicators

What each indicator measures and the signal that points UP.

Indicator	What it measures	Bullish (UP) signal
EMA 9/21/50	Trend direction & momentum	Fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA
RSI	Momentum (0–100, overbought/oversold)	Turns up from below 30 (oversold)
MACD	Shift in momentum	MACD line crosses above its signal line
Bollinger Bands	Volatility & price extremes	Price bounces up off the lower band
Engulfing	Reversal price action	A green candle fully engulfs the previous red one
Pin bar	Rejection of a price level	Long lower wick (hammer) under support

A signal is STRONG when several of these agree at the same time.

Frequently asked questions

How often do signals appear?

It depends on the market and timeframe. Quieter markets and higher timeframes (30m–1h) give fewer but cleaner signals.

Do I have to trade every signal?

No. The best results come from waiting for STRONG signals that agree with the trend and skipping the rest.

What stake should I use?

Start small and use the suggested stake. Risk only a small, fixed percentage of your balance on each trade.

Are signals financial advice?

No. They are an educational tool based on technical analysis. You are always responsible for your own trades.

Risk & safety

Signals are not guarantees.

Start on a demo account.
Risk a small, fixed percentage per trade.
