SignalShade reads trade setups from the traders it follows, checks each one is still worth taking, and — if you choose — places it on your own exchange account, sized to the risk you set and protected by a stop from the first second.
Each trader's channel is read as it's posted. Setups (coin, entry, stop, targets) are pulled out; updates like "moving stop to entry" or "booking profits" are applied to the open trade.
Before anything is placed it asks: is there a stop? Has the stop or first target already been hit? Has price run too far from the entry? Is there still at least 1.5× reward for the risk?
On an account you've set to live, it places the order sized to your risk, with the stop on the exchange and take-profit orders at the trader's targets. In paper mode it only records what would have happened.
Strategies are shown by a public name (Strategy A, Strategy B…), never the trader's real name. Every strategy page shows its full record — open trades, history and results — so you can judge one before risking anything on it.
Members are people who already have their own access to the traders' Telegram groups — they're subscribed to those groups themselves. Member access only lets you read here what you can already read there, next to the trades it produced; it isn't a way to get the groups' content.
A member's extras are read-only: the messages behind every trade and the reasons it was taken or
skipped. Look for the ↗
next to a trade's open time, the timeline
button in History, and the
Signal feed, Trader commentary and Decision audit panels on each strategy page.

What you lose if a trade hits its stop, as a % of the account. 0.5–2% is typical. The position size is worked out from it and the distance to the trader's stop.
Caps a position's value as a % of the account. Leave it empty for no cap; above 100% means leverage.
New setups are skipped while this many are open (default 3). It limits live trading; paper keeps recording everything.
After losing this % of the account in a day, no new trades until tomorrow (UTC).

The stop-loss goes on the exchange together with the entry. If a setup has no stop, it isn't placed live.
If the stop or first target already traded before we saw the post, or price ran too far from the entry, or there's less than 1.5× reward left for the risk, a live account skips it. Paper still records it so you can compare.
When a trader gives a price to buy at, the order rests there as a limit (pending entry
) until price reaches it.
An order that's still unfilled after 7 days is cancelled.
Every account starts in paper mode. Going live needs a checked key and typing LIVE; real-money accounts also need real trading enabled on the platform.
