Strategy

To generate a signal, you must first select a strategy. The strategy defines when to enter a trade, when to exit, and how profits are taken based on market conditions.

By default, Comps includes over 10 preset strategies, allowing you to generate signals immediately. Use the strategy dropdown to select from:

  • Built-in preset strategies

  • Your custom strategies (if created)


Timeframe

The timeframe determines the period of market data analyzed to generate the signal, influencing whether the signal is short-term or long-term.

You can choose timeframes ranging from 1 minute to 12 months, depending on your trading style.


Set Risk–Reward

This setting controls how much risk is taken versus how much profit is targeted for each signal.

  • Stop Loss: Defines where the trade exits if the market moves against your position

  • Take Profit: Defines profit targets when the trade moves in your favor

You can select a predefined risk profile:

  • Conservative

  • Moderate

  • Aggressive

Or customize your own by setting:

  • Stop Loss

  • Take Profit 1 (TP1)

  • Take Profit 2 (TP2)

  • Take Profit 3 (TP3)


News Filter

Economic and market news can have a significant impact on price direction and volatility.

Comps provides a News Filter that allows you to exclude signals during news events. You can choose to:

  • Avoid all news

  • Avoid low-impact news

  • Avoid medium-impact news

  • Avoid high-impact news

This helps generate more stable, lower-volatility signals aligned with your risk preferences.
