How SignalFloor Signals Work

Signals on SignalFloor are trade ideas, not auto-trades. You place your own orders. Learn how signals are built and how results are tracked.

Updated 2026-04-09

A signal is a trade idea from a creator with tracked results. It lists the asset, buy or sell, entry, stop loss, and take profit. You choose whether to act. We do not trade for you.

Key Takeaways

  • Each signal lists asset, buy or sell, entry, stop loss, and take profit
  • We mark each signal when take profit or stop loss is hit
  • Creators cannot erase or change finished signal results. Open setups may be retracted, and the retract stays on the public record
  • Some signals are free to review. Live details may need a plan
  • You place trades yourself with your own broker

What a Signal Contains

Each signal includes structured information:

Asset:
What is being traded, such as EUR/USD or gold
Direction:
Buy or sell
Entry Level:
The price level to open the trade
Stop-Loss (SL):
The level to exit if the trade goes against you
Take-Profit (TP):
The target level to close with a gain
Rationale:
Optional notes on why the trade was shared

Signals Are Not Automated

We do not link to your broker or place trades for you.

A new signal is info for you to read. You choose whether to trade it and place the order yourself.

How Performance Is Verified

Signal outcomes are tracked automatically:

  • •When price hits take profit, the signal is marked as a win
  • •When price hits stop loss, the signal is marked as a loss
  • •Every result stays on the public record

Creators cannot delete or modify signal outcomes. This creates a transparent performance history.

Free vs Premium Signals

Creators control which signals are free or premium:

Free Signals

Available to all users for discovery and evaluation

Premium Signals

Require a subscription to access full details

Finished signals stay public no matter your plan.

User Responsibility

Signals are trading ideas, not financial advice. Users are responsible for:

  • • Evaluating whether a signal fits their trading strategy
  • • Managing their own risk and position sizing
  • • Executing trades through their own broker
  • • Understanding that losses are possible

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Expecting signals to execute automatically — SignalFloor does not connect to brokers
  • Ignoring the stop loss level — it exists to limit your downside risk
  • Entering a signal long after publication when the price has already moved past entry

Summary

Signals are trade ideas with tracked results. They are not auto-trades. You review them and trade on your own.
