Reading your first signal

Anatomy of a signal card

Each card in the feed shows the same details, top to bottom:

1. Stock, direction and term. The NSE symbol, a BUY or SELL label, and whether the idea is short, mid or long term.
2. Buy zone. A price range, not a single number. Acting anywhere inside the zone is consistent with the published research.
3. Stop loss. The level that, if hit, marks the setup as invalidated. Place it on your own broker.
4. Target 1 and Target 2. Where the research expects the move to reach if it plays out, with the distance from entry. Not a guarantee.
5. Risk : Reward. How much the first target offers for each unit of risk to the stop loss.
6. View SEBI Report (PDF). The full research report behind the signal.

What a signal is not

• It's not personal financial advice. We don't know your portfolio, goals or risk appetite.
• It's not a guaranteed outcome. A meaningful share of any rule-based strategy's trades will lose money.
• It's not an order. You decide whether to act, how much to size and where to actually place your stop on the broker.

What to do with one

Read it as research. Cross-check against your own view, position sizing and broker's order rules. The signal stays in the feed and on your History tab whether or not you act on it.
