Frequently asked questions

Short, direct answers to the things people ask most often.

Did it actually buy something?

A position only counts as a real trade if it shows up on your Portfolios or Trades page as an open position. A signal or a log entry on its own is not a purchase — it's a record of what the system considered.

Why is there a signal but no trade?

Because most signals are meant to be passed over. A signal is just a candidate; it still has to clear a quality bar and fit inside the risk rules before anything happens. If it doesn't, the system skips it — on purpose. See Reading the Signals for the full funnel.

Does it trade my money automatically?

The disciplined trading engine places its small, protected trades on its own during market hours — that's the "many small wins" machine working for you. What it does notdo is make discretionary calls without you: judgement decisions, like taking profit on a winner early, are flagged for you to decide. The app you're reading never places an order itself.

Why is a winner being flagged to exit?

The Exit Advisor keeps re-reading your winning positions. When a winner looks like it has run out of room, it flags the position with a lean — HOLD, CONSIDER SELLING, or EXIT NOW — so you can decide whether to take the profit. A flag is advice, not an action; the trade only closes if you (or its built-in stop and target) close it.

What if the data looks stale?

The system checks that its market data is fresh before it acts. If the data isn't current or doesn't look right, it stops rather than trade on bad information — a deliberate "when in doubt, don't" rule. The Monitoring page is where you confirm the system is running and the feeds are fresh.
