Trading alerts provide structured information to guide traders on a specific trade. Here’s a breakdown of the common terms and what they mean:

    • SL (Stop Loss):
      This is the price level where the trade will automatically close if the market moves against you. It limits your potential loss.

    • TP1, TP2, TP3 (Take Profit Levels):
      These are predefined price levels where you can close the trade to secure profits.

        • TP1: The first target, usually conservative.

        • TP2: The second target, offering moderate profit.

        • TP3: The most ambitious target, for higher returns.

    • ENTRY POINT:
      This is the recommended price level to open the trade. Wait for the market to reach this point before entering.

    • DURATION:
      This indicates the timeframe of the chart the alert is based on, such as:

        • 1W (1 Week): Long-term trade, analyzing weekly movements.

        • 1D (1 Day): Medium-term trade, based on daily trends.

        • 4H (4 Hours): Shorter-term trade, focusing on intraday opportunities.

    • STATUS:
      Indicates the current state of the trade:

        • Triggering: The market is approaching the ENTRY POINT but hasn’t activated the trade yet.

        • In Progress: The trade has been triggered and is ongoing.

        • Stopped: The trade reached the SL and closed at a loss.

        • Completed: The trade hit one of the TP levels and successfully closed.

Example:

    • Alert Details:
        • SL: 1.2050

        • TP1: 1.2150

        • TP2: 1.2250

        • TP3: 1.2350

        • ENTRY POINT: 1.2100

        • DURATION: 1D

        • STATUS: Triggering

This means the trader should wait for the market to reach 1.2100 (ENTRY POINT). If triggered, the SL is set at 1.2050, and profits can be taken at TP1, TP2, or TP3.
