I checked a signal post against the real candles. About 2 hours later, the stop was hit.
A 20x ZEC long, posted here on 12 Nov: stop 2% below entry, first target 1% above.
What the 1-hour candles show:
• Next hour's high: 999.12. Target: 1,000. Missed by less than 1.
• The hour after: low 966. Stop at 970: hit.
• At 20x, a 2% stop = about −40% of the margin.
Risking 2 to make 1 means winning 2 of every 3 trades just to break even, before fees.
My rule for any signal: check the entry, stop and target against the candles yourself, after the fact.
Do you check signals after they play out, or only before? 👇
Not financial advice. Prices from Binance 1h candles.
