How to read signals from the 60 Second Trading Signals Indicator

The 60 Second Trading Signals Indicator highlights a configurable rule set that fires when conditions align. A typical workflow looks like this.

Entry idea (long). Wait for a long signal arrow on the configured rule set and confirm with the bar close. Wait for the bar to close. Intra-bar values can shift.

Entry idea (short). Wait for a short signal arrow on the configured rule set and confirm with the bar close. The same close rule applies.

Exit idea. Some traders take partial profit at one R and trail the rest with structure. Some traders trail with structure. Others trail with the indicator itself.

These are concepts, not rules. Backtest on your instrument and timeframe before live capital.

FAQ

What does the 60 Second Trading Signals measure?
It plots a clear signal layer that the 60 Second Trading Signals computes from recent price structure on the chart.

Is the 60 Second Trading Signals Indicator non-repaint?
The indicator confirms every signal on the bar close, so the printed signal locks in once that bar closes. There is no intra-bar mode on purpose: an early signal could vanish before the bar finishes, and that is what repainting means.

Which timeframe should I use?
There is no single best timeframe. M15 to H1 is a common starting point for intraday traders, and H4 to D1 works for swing traders. Backtest the configuration on the timeframe you actually trade.

Does it work on instruments other than forex?
It works on any instrument MT4 and MT5 supports — forex majors, gold (XAUUSD), indices like US30 and NAS100, and major cryptos. Fast-moving instruments may need a smaller period setting.
