Frequently Asked Questions

1. How are trading signals for a trading strategy delivered?

There are two forms of signal delivery for automated StrategyStudio strategies; intraday signals are delivered if price targets or stops are hit – but these are unofficial triggers and do not form part of the monitored strategy exits. After the close a second email is sent outlining new trigger entries and any confirmed exits at either stop or target price based on the closing price. It is closing price triggers which are monitored and published to the StrategyStudio strategy portfolio.

In the case of Managed and External Signals Strategies, signals are delivered to subscribers as soon as they are created by the Strategy Manager. These signals can be created during or outside market hours, in addition to conditional orders which only trigger when the price is met.
