Signals can be viewed as the basic building blocks of strategies. Strategies can easily be constructed by simply applying a set of signals to a chart window, without the need to combine signal code manually.
Market entry or exit points, specified by the signals, can be used to send orders electronically directly to a broker, fully automating the trading process. To learn more, see [[Understanding_Automated_Trade_Execution|Automated Trade Execution]].
Each signal applied to a chart is set individually, and has its own '''Format Signal''' window. Signal Title is displayed in the title bar of the Format Signal window. Multiple instances of the same signal can be applied to the same chart; each instance will have its own Format Signal window, allowing different settings to be used for each of the instances. Signal settings are specific to the particular signal, while '''Strategy Properties''' settings affect all the signals applied to a chart. To learn more, see [[Strategy_Properties|Strategy Properties]].
In a multi-symbol chart, signals can only be applied to the series with the Data #1.
