Why a trade was not opened

A candidate or a BUY / SELL signal does not automatically mean a new position will appear.

If a trade was not opened, review Market Hunter, candidate details, and Event Log.

What can stop an entry​

Common user-visible reasons include:

  • candidate score is below the required level;
  • AI did not approve the setup;
  • confidence is below the configured threshold;
  • Entry / Stop Loss / Take Profit are incomplete;
  • the levels do not match the trade direction;
  • Stop Loss exceeds the configured maximum;
  • Profit/Risk is below the configured minimum;
  • the open-position limit has been reached;
  • the daily-loss limit has been reached;
  • market conditions changed before the position was opened.

What HOLD means​

HOLD means the current analysis does not contain a confirmed action to open a position.

The reason can be shown directly in manual AI analysis or in Market Hunter candidate details.

Where to check​

  1. Open Candidate details for Market Hunter candidates.
  2. Review the rejection reasons and warnings.
  3. Compare the result with Risk management.
  4. Open Event Log when a trading action failed or finished without the expected result.
