How to read UpDownZone signals
The public BTC 1h preview: data, reference levels and the meaning of displayed results.
Reading a signal in three steps
- Check the UTC snapshot time and data status.
- Read the direction and reference entry, TP and SL levels.
- Distinguish the current price indication from a recorded final outcome.
What the fields mean
- UP / DOWN
- UP is an upward scenario; DOWN is a downward scenario. Neither guarantees a price move.
- Entry
- The reference price used to calculate the signal result. Your actual execution price may differ.
- TP · target
- The target level tracked for this signal. It is not an order placed on your exchange.
- SL · stop level
- The adverse price level tracked for this signal. It does not place a protective order on your account.
- LIVE PnL
- Indicative price change relative to the signal’s reference entry, taking its direction into account. Excludes leverage, fees, funding and slippage; it is not your account return.
Status and result
| What you see | What it means |
|---|---|
| Active | The signal has no recorded final outcome yet. A positive LIVE PnL does not mean the signal has closed. |
| TP | The signal has a recorded TP outcome. This is not confirmation of a trade on your account. |
| SL | The signal has a recorded SL outcome. This is not an order automatically executed on your exchange. |
| — (dash) | No value is shown for this field. For an active signal, the final result is not yet recorded; for a closed signal, LIVE PnL is not shown. A dash is not zero. |
Two different times
The UTC time in a signal row locates the signal on the chart. It does not establish when you received a notification or executed a trade.
The snapshot time below the list tells you when that list was refreshed. It is not the creation time of every signal. A delay notice means the last available snapshot is being shown.
Why several signals can be active
Each row is a separate observation with its own reference levels and outcome. Several rows may remain active at once; they are not a list of positions in your account.
Signal results and your account
Displayed price changes exclude fees, funding, slippage and leverage. They do not include your position size or actual execution. Do not read them as the return of a portfolio.
Using the public preview
Use the chart to view signal direction, reference levels and recorded outcomes. Signal generation is proprietary; this page explains only the information visible to users.
Keep the context in mind
Signals support your own assessment of the market. Historical results do not guarantee future outcomes. Account for trading costs and the conditions on your exchange when making decisions.
