How to read a trade suggestion

A suggestion is the platform's whole case for a trade, laid out so you can disagree with it. Here's every part of the card, top to bottom.

The header

Direction badge — LONG, SHORT, or CLOSE. A CLOSE appears when a strategy flips against a position you already hold.
Symbol — the pair, e.g. BTC/USDT.
Countdown — how long the suggestion has left. Suggestions expire 60 minutes after they're created, because the setup they're based on goes stale.

The bracket: entry, stop, target

The line reading entry … · SL … · TP … · R:R … is the actual trade plan:

Entry — the price the plan assumes you get in at.
SL (stop-loss) — where the trade is wrong, and closes automatically. Sized from recent volatility (ATR), not a flat percentage, so it adapts to how much that coin actually moves.
TP (take-profit) — where it closes in profit.
R:R — reward-to-risk. An R:R of 1.67 means the target sits 1.67× further away than the stop. The realized figure next to it is what that strategy actually achieved in validation, which is usually the more honest number.

Both exits are set when the position opens. You approve once; the exits fire on their own.

Size and leverage

The suggested size is calculated so that if the stop is hit, you lose your configured risk per trade fraction of equity — not a fixed dollar amount. The leverage field shows the recommendation and your own maximum; you can override it downward before approving.

Consensus and context

Consensus — how many strategies agree with the direction and how many oppose it. One strategy firing alone is a weaker signal than six agreeing.
Expected hold — roughly how long this strategy's trades have historically lasted, plus the live average once there's enough history.
Indicators & details — expand this for the RSI, ATR, ADX (with the current market regime), the moving averages and the 24-hour move that the strategy saw.

Warnings — read these

Red ⚠ lines flag things worth pausing over:

Counter-regime — the strategy's style doesn't match what the market is currently doing (e.g. a trend strategy firing in a choppy market).
High overlap — this position would be highly correlated with one you already hold, meaning it's mostly the same bet twice rather than diversification.

The AI review

On Pro, an independent AI review reads the suggestion alongside the indicators and recent news and gives a plain-language agree / neutral / disagree take. It's advisory only: it never originates a trade and never executes one, and it's free to tell you a signal looks weak. See AI trade reviews.

News

If recent headlines are relevant to the coin, an impact badge shows whether the last 48 hours skew bullish or bearish and how strongly. See reading the news feed and charts.

What to consider before approving

Does the consensus support it, or is one strategy out on a limb?
Is there a warning on the card, and do you accept the reason?
Is the stop somewhere you're genuinely willing to be wrong?
Do you already hold something that moves the same way?

Rejecting is a real answer. Every suggestion you approve and reject is replayed later against actual prices, so over time the Dashboard can tell you whether your judgment is beating simply taking every signal.
