Screening For Setups
The Forex market pairs, Indexes and Equities are screened for a setup and then pending orders are posted at during the day if certain entry rule based criteria are met. If these criteria are not met there will be no post for that day.
A pending order is a type of order in trading that allows traders to execute a trade at a specific price in the future. It is often used to enter a trade when the market is not currently at a desirable level, but is expected to reach a certain level in the future. Examples of pending orders include buy limit, sell limit, buy stop, and sell stop.
A buy limit order is an order to buy an asset at a price below the current market price. This type of order is used to enter a long position at a lower price than the current market price, with the expectation that the price will fall to the limit price and the trade will be executed.
A sell limit order is an order to sell an asset at a price above the current market price. This type of order is used to enter a short position at a higher price than the current market price, with the expectation that the price will rise to the limit price and the trade will be executed.
A buy stop order is an order to buy an asset at a price above the current market price. This type of order is used to enter a long position at a higher price than the current market price, with the expectation that the price will rise to the stop price and the trade will be executed.
A sell stop order is an order to sell an asset at a price below the current market price. This type of order is used to enter a short position at a lower price than the current market price, with the expectation that the price will fall to the stop price and the trade will be executed.
A target is the price at which a trader plans to exit a trade and realize their profit. A target is a predetermined level at which a trader will sell or buy an asset, with the expectation that the market will reach that level and provide a profit.
A stop loss, on the other hand, is an order to sell or buy an asset when it reaches a certain price, with the aim of limiting potential losses. It’s a predetermined level at which a trader will exit a trade, to prevent further losses in case the market goes against their trade.

A setup should be confirmed by recent news flow.
To limit exposure to risk a stop loss should always be applied.
