  1. Types of Trading Styles

TGS generates signals for 3 types of traders, viz.

a. Positional (for few weeks)

b. Swing (for few days)

c. Intraday (for few hours)

Positional signals are generated on all F&O stocks with a stop-loss of 1.5% to 6%. Positional signals are suitable for those who wish to take positions for a few weeks. Positional traders are interested in making profits from the primary trend rather than day to day fluctuations. Stop-loss revision mechanism is slow to capture larger price momentum.

Swing signals are generated on all F&O stocks, 3 Indices, 4 currencies and 9 commodities with a stop-loss of 1% to 5%. Swing signals are suitable for those who wish to take positions for a few days. Swing traders are interested in short term trends and price momentum. Stop-loss revision mechanism is fast to en-cash substantial gains from price momentum.

Intraday Signals are generated on all F&O stocks, 3 Indices, 4 currencies and 9 commodities with a stop-loss of 0.05% to 1.5%. Intraday signals are suitable for those who wish to trade and exit on the same day.

The signals are generated after 30 minutes of market open. No new signals are generated 30 minutes prior to market closed and timeout exit occurs 15 minutes prior to market closed.

    1. Prefilled Order Window Setting

    In the Signal Tracker, we saw that a prefilled order window opens when a signal is generated. Here you can choose for which signals and trading styles you wish to open an order window.

    In Exit method, there are three ways of defining exit under TradeGuide Signal:

    1. Risk Reward Method

    Using Risk Reward Multiple (RR) e.g. If Risk: Reward is 2 times and entry stop loss is set at 3%, the trade will exit when there is a profit of 6% i.e. 2 times of stop loss .

    If you decide that you wish to exit at a fixed profit%, stop loss being irrelevant, set the target percentage where you wish to exit .

    1. Trend Following Method

    Under trend following, the trade exits when the system generates an exit signal. If this method is used, the target in the signal tracker will show as ‘0’. By default, this method is selected.

    A very important part of the trading plan is Position Sizing . An organized trader always knows how much he has to trade.

    If you use a dealer terminal, position size can be set individually for all your clients by entering their client code.
