How SignalFloor Signals Work

Learn how SignalFloor signals work, how results are tracked, and how manual trading differs from optional connected-account execution.

Updated 2026-10-09

A creator's signal lists the asset, direction, entry, stop loss, and take profit. Its outcome is tracked publicly. Trade by hand, or link a supported MT5 broker account. Pick a channel and set the risk for that account. When its checks pass, the service can send trades straight to your broker. Live trading stays off until you turn it on for that account.

Key Takeaways

  • Each signal lists asset, buy or sell, entry, stop loss, and take profit
  • We mark each signal when take profit or stop loss is hit
  • Creators cannot erase or change finished signal results. Open setups may be retracted, and the retract stays on the public record
  • Some signals are free to review. Live details may need a plan
  • Trade yourself, or connect a supported MT5 account and enable automatic execution.

What a Signal Contains

Each signal includes structured information:

Asset:
What is being traded, such as EUR/USD or gold
Direction:
Buy or sell
Entry Level:
The price level to open the trade
Stop-Loss (SL):
The level to exit if the trade goes against you
Take-Profit (TP):
The target level to close with a gain
Rationale:
Optional notes on why the trade was shared

Manual or automatic execution

Trade by hand, or link a supported MT5 broker account. Pick a channel and set the risk for that account. When its checks pass, the service can send trades straight to your broker. Live trading stays off until you turn it on for that account.

Following a creator or reading a signal does not enable execution. You must connect a supported account and enable a supported strategy first.

How Performance Is Verified

Signal outcomes are tracked automatically:

  • •When price hits take profit, the signal is marked as a win
  • •When price hits stop loss, the signal is marked as a loss
  • •Every result stays on the public record

Creators cannot delete or modify signal outcomes. This creates a transparent performance history.

Free vs Premium Signals

Creators control which signals are free or premium:

Free Signals

Available to all users for discovery and evaluation

Premium Signals

Require a subscription to access full details

Finished signals stay public no matter your plan.

User Responsibility

Signals are trading ideas, not financial advice. Users are responsible for:

  • • Evaluating whether a signal fits their trading strategy
  • • Managing their own risk and position sizing
  • • Executing trades through their own broker
  • • Understanding that losses are possible

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Assuming a subscription or connected account automatically enables live trading. Each account needs separate authorization.
  • Ignoring the stop loss level — it exists to limit your downside risk
  • Entering a signal long after publication when the price has already moved past entry

Summary

Signals have tracked outcomes. You can act on them manually or enable a supported strategy in a connected account, using your own risk settings.
