Trading Signal Generator

Definition - What does Trading Signal Generator mean?

Trading signal generators are a type of software that applies technical analysis techniques to price action charts and alerts currency traders to a possible trade. This type of trading software is one step removed from automated forex trading software because it doesn’t enter or exit the trade. Signal generators track charts like technical analysis software, but they also provide users with suggestions on entry, exit and stop loss points for the position.

To properly customize trading signal generators, a trader will need to know the basics of technical analysis and how signals are created.
