Signal Tracking Best Practices

Frequently asked questions

How many creators should I follow at once?

Three to five is a practical range for most people. Fewer than three and one trader's bad month dominates your results. Many more than five and you end up with several creators long the same pair at the same time, which quietly concentrates risk instead of spreading it.

What if price has already moved past the entry?

Let it go. Chasing an entry means taking the same target with a wider stop, which changes the risk-reward the creator based the idea on. Missing trades is normal when you follow someone in a different time zone, and the next setup is usually not far behind.

What happens if a setup never reaches its entry price?

It stops being actionable and goes back to the creator, who can either refresh it or retract it. An idea that was never filled is not a win or a loss and it does not count in the creator's closed results, so a stale setup should simply be dropped from your own plan.

How often should I review who I follow?

Weekly for a quick look, monthly for real decisions. A single bad week says very little, so avoid dropping a creator on it. Judge over a month or more, and pay as much attention to whether their trading hours and holding times fit your routine as to their returns.
