5.2 Trade Alerts and Order Execution
Stay on top of every move and invest with confidence
Our process is designed to give you ample time to fill orders. Automated strategies send signals at the beginning of the session, so you can plan your preferred execution in advance. Additionally, you can set up your Trade Alerts to follow your choice of Strategies and Stocks. Once you provide all the details in the form on the Trade Alerts page, you will start receiving the newsletter the following business day.
There are two places where you will always be able to find orders for Strategies:
On each strategy’s dedicated page
In our email newsletter
Trading in the Sigma Portfolio is more dynamic as we respond to the live intra-day conditions. Our primary method of communication for these orders is email, after which they will show up in the Sigma Portfolio strategy page as well.
Sectors & Factors Daily Report
In addition to the latest orders for our strategies, members also get a daily digest of recorded signals for each covered ETF. While these signals DO NOT represent trading done by our system, they can prove very useful to follow, especially if many trigger at once. Here are the signals you can expect to see in this section:
MACD Signal: a signal occurs when the MACD line crosses above the signal line (to buy) or falls below it (to sell); this is a continuation signal; (more info)
WR% Signal: an abbreviation for the “Williams %R”, this signal occurs when the price reverses from recent extremes; this is a trend reversal signal, similar to the more commonly used RSI; (more info)
Strong Signal: triggers when BOTH a MACD and a Williams %R signal at the same time; such confirmation from both technical signals is rare and is usually associated with more important changes in price.
Range Signal: occurs whenever a technical breakout (or breakdown) is encountered; in order to trigger a Range Signal, a stock needs to close above (or below) it’s resistance (or support) level, as identified by our system
