Understanding Strategy Signals
MagTicker uses a multi-indicator scoring engine to classify each stock's strategy state at every market snapshot.
The Signal column shows the directional bias. The Status column shows where the current price sits relative to the calculated strategy levels. The EMA column shows whether the price is above or below the 21-period EMA.
Column
Value
Meaning
Signal
Long ▲
Bullish bias. EMA stack aligned upward, ADX confirms trend, directional and momentum indicators aligned.
Short ▼
Bearish bias. EMA stack aligned downward, trend confirmed.
Neutral
Mixed or weak signals. No high-confidence directional trade.
Status
At Entry
Price is within 0.5% of the calculated entry level (prime setup zone).
Near Entry
Price is within 3% of entry, approaching the setup.
Wait
Price has not yet reached the entry level. Monitor only.
Missed TP1-TP3
Price has moved beyond one or more take profit targets.
Invalidated
Live price has crossed the stop loss level. The structural basis of the setup no longer holds. Do not enter.
EMA
Bull
Price is trading above EMA 21. Bullish bias confirmed.
Bear
Price is trading below EMA 21. Bearish structure.
The HUD uses compact labels where space is tight: Entry for At Entry; Near for Near Entry; Wait for Wait; MTP1, MTP2, MTP3 for Missed TP1-TP3; Invld for Invalidated.

📊
Volume Histogram
A colour-coded volume chart sits below the price chart. Green bars indicate up-volume, red bars indicate down-volume. Volume spikes are highlighted.
🎯
Risk Levels Matrix
A table below the chart shows the exact Entry, Stop Loss, TP1, TP2, and TP3 price levels alongside their distance from the current price and risk-to-reward ratio.
🔮
Predicted Trend
A deterministic multi-factor ensemble estimates the likely direction over the next 3–5 sessions — Upward, Downward, or Sideways — with a signal-agreement gauge, a widening projection cone, and a full per-factor breakdown. A technical outlook, not a price prediction.
Risk Levels & R:R Ratios
Every snapshot calculates a complete risk matrix so you know exactly where to enter, where to exit, and what the reward is for the risk taken.
Level
What it represents
R:R
Entry
Structural support (Long) or resistance (Short) zone derived from the daily indicators
Reference
Stop Loss
Volatility-sized buffer beyond entry, tightened toward nearby structure when present
n/a
TP1
Primary swing target at one full risk unit
1R
TP2
Runner target for confirmed-trend continuation
2R
TP3
Bonus runner target; may align with a structural extension level
2.5R
The stop distance is derived from the symbol's recent daily volatility (Average True Range), so risk sizing adapts to each stock's behaviour. The vs Now column shows the percentage distance from the current price so you can immediately see how far away each level is.
Technical Indicators
MagTicker computes a full suite of industry-standard indicators entirely on-device.
📉
EMA Stack (8/21/55/200)
Four exponential moving averages define the trend structure. When all four align (8 > 21 > 55 > 200), the EMA stack is fully bullish.
🌀
Bollinger Bands
20-period bands with 2σ width. A SQUEEZE state is detected when the bands contract well below their recent average width, signalling a potential breakout.
⚡
RSI (14)
Wilder's 14-period RSI with overbought (70) and oversold (30) levels. RSI filters confirm or block signal direction. Intraday alerts fire at extreme crossings.
📏
ADX (14)
Average Directional Index with +DI / -DI. ADX ≥ 25 confirms a trend is present. ADX ≥ 30 indicates a strong trend. Weak ADX (below 25) suppresses directional signals.
🔃
StochRSI (14/14/3/3)
Stochastic applied to RSI values. %K and %D lines with overbought (80) and oversold (20) levels. Displayed in the indicator grid alongside RSI for short-term momentum context.
📌
MACD (12/26/9)
Classic MACD with fast EMA 12, slow EMA 26, and signal line EMA 9. Histogram shows momentum direction and is factored into the overall strategy score.
💹
VWAP & Fibonacci
Rolling VWAP alongside Fibonacci retracement levels (38.2%, 50%, 61.8%) and extensions computed from recent swing highs and lows.
📈
ATR & Volume
Average True Range for volatility-based stop and target sizing. Volume vs recent average ratio with spike detection. Volume context feeds into the scoring engine.
Automated Market Notifications
MagTicker schedules five analysis snapshots per trading day aligned to key market moments. All delivered as local notifications with no remote push server.
14:00 UK
Pre-Market
Morning analysis before the US market opens. Sets the directional bias for the day using overnight data.
14:35 UK
Market Open
First 30-minute confirmation snapshot. Captures the opening move and updates entry levels for the session.
17:30 UK
Mid-Session
Midday check-in as US mid-morning momentum develops. Re-evaluates status for all 7 symbols.
21:05 UK
Market Close
End-of-day snapshot with final prices, updated stop levels, and a daily score for each symbol.
Fri 21:30 UK
Weekly
Friday close summary across all 7 stocks. Weekly candle data used for higher-timeframe bias confirmation.
In addition to scheduled snapshots, intraday alerts fire when RSI crosses overbought or oversold levels, price reaches the At Entry zone, Bollinger Bands break above or below the outer band, volume spikes to 2× or more above the 20-day average, or price comes within 0.5% of a Fibonacci level. Each condition fires at most once per trading session per symbol to prevent notification flooding. The latest alerts also appear on the Dashboard in the Recent Alerts card.
