Mastering Markitel·The Markitel Toolkit
The Signals Feed
Your Real-Time Trade Ideas Stream
The Signals Feed is the heart of Markitel. Every time the platform's live signal engine identifies a high-probability setup across any of the 145+ supported assets, it publishes a signal card to your feed with a recommended direction, AI confidence score, entry zone, stop-loss, and take-profit targets — all in real time. The feed is your command centre for spotting and evaluating opportunities without switching between multiple apps or websites.
A signal card · what the engine actually delivers
What powers the signals?
Markitel signals are generated by an AI engine that combines 15+ intelligence sources including price action patterns, momentum indicators, multi-timeframe confirmation, volume analysis, cross-asset correlation, and sentiment data from news and social media. Each signal receives an AI confidence score from 0 to 100 before it reaches your feed.

AI Confidence Score
A numerical rating from 0 to 100 assigned by the Markitel AI engine to every signal. The score reflects how many intelligence sources agree on the trade direction and how strong the underlying setup is. Scores above 70 indicate high-conviction signals; scores below 50 suggest weaker or conflicting conditions.
Anatomy of a Signal Card
Every signal card on Markitel follows a standardised format so you can evaluate any setup in seconds. Understanding each field is critical before you act on any signal. Here is a complete breakdown of what you see on every card.
| Field | What It Means | How to Use It |
|---|---|---|
| Asset | The currency pair, commodity, crypto, or index | Check if it's in your watchlist and whether you have familiarity with its behaviour |
| Direction | LONG (buy) or SHORT (sell) | Only take signals that match your higher-timeframe bias |
| AI Confidence | Score from 0 to 100 reflecting setup quality | Use 70+ as your minimum threshold for high-conviction trades |
| Entry | Suggested price range to enter the trade | Use a limit order at the favourable end of the range for a cleaner fill |
| Stop-Loss (SL) | Level where the trade idea is invalidated | Never move or remove this — it defines your maximum risk per trade |
| Take-Profit (TP) | Target level(s) where the signal aims to close | TP1 is conservative (partial exit), TP2 is full target |
| R:R | Reward-to-risk ratio | Only take signals with R:R of 1.5:1 or higher |
| Timeframe | The chart timeframe the signal is based on | Use this timeframe for entry, but always check one level higher for trend alignment |
Entry
1.0845
Stop
1.0810
Target
1.0920
This example LONG signal on EUR/USD has an entry at 1.0845 with a stop-loss 35 pips below at 1.0810 and a take-profit 75 pips above at 1.0920. The R:R is approximately 2.1:1 — for every pip of risk, you stand to gain over two. The 35-pip stop is tight enough to limit damage if wrong, while the 75-pip target gives the trade room to reach a meaningful profit.
Understanding Signal Strength Tiers
Not all signals are created equal. Markitel categorises signals into strength tiers based on the AI confidence score. Understanding these tiers helps you allocate your attention and position sizing appropriately.
| Tier | Confidence Range | Characteristics | Suggested Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strong | 80 - 100 | Multiple timeframes aligned, high volume, strong momentum | Full position size, high priority for your session |
| Moderate | 60 - 79 | Good technical setup with some conflicting factors | Reduced position size, requires additional chart confirmation |
| Weak | 40 - 59 | Marginal setup, few confirming factors | Observation only — add to watchlist but do not trade |
| Speculative | 0 - 39 | Low conviction, typically counter-trend or pre-news | Ignore unless you are an advanced counter-trend trader |
At 70%, you will see a moderate volume of signals with reasonable conviction. Expect 3-8 signals per day. This is the sweet spot for most traders balancing quality with opportunity.
Filtering the Feed
As signal volume grows throughout the trading day, the feed can fill up quickly. Markitel provides powerful filter controls at the top of the feed to help you zero in on the setups that matter to your strategy. Filters can be combined for precise targeting.
| Filter | Options | When to Use It |
|---|---|---|
| Asset Class | Forex, Crypto, Commodities, Indices | Focus on your speciality or the session's most active market |
| Direction | LONG only, SHORT only, Both | If your heatmap shows broad USD strength, filter for SHORT on USD pairs |
| Confidence | Slider from 0 to 100 | Set minimum threshold to hide low-conviction signals |
| Time Posted | Last 1H, 4H, 12H, 24H | Focus on fresh signals — stale signals may have entry zones already passed |
| Asset Subclass | Majors, Minors, Exotics (Forex) | Beginners should stick to Majors for tighter spreads and more predictable behaviour |
Setting up your signal feed filters for the first time
- 1
Open the Signals Feed
Navigate to the Signals section from the main sidebar. The feed loads with all signals from the last 24 hours by default.
- 2
Set your asset class filter
If you trade forex, select 'Forex' to hide crypto, commodities, and index signals. You can always switch back to 'All' when exploring new markets.
- 3
Set your confidence threshold
Drag the confidence slider to 70. This hides weaker signals and keeps only moderate-to-strong setups in view. As you gain experience, you can lower this to see more setups.
- 4
Sort by newest first
Ensure the feed is sorted with the most recent signals at the top so you never miss a fresh opportunity during your session.
- 5
Save your filter preset
Once configured, your filter settings persist across sessions. You do not need to reconfigure them each time you open Markitel.
Start with majors
If you are new to Markitel, set your filter to Forex Majors only. EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and USD/JPY signals are the most liquid, which means entries and exits are cleaner, spreads are tighter, and the AI has the deepest historical data to work with.
Do not trade every signal
A common mistake new users make is treating the signal feed like a to-do list and entering every trade that appears. The feed is a menu of opportunities, not a set of instructions. Your job is to select the highest-quality setups using the filters and your own chart analysis.
