Understand what a computed signal is
The audited version computes indicators ("signals") from market data in your browser. What that arithmetic is — and what it is not.
Version & evidence label Verified against TradeFlows source dmitriy718/tradeflows-pro@2e5540a (2025-12-16); evidence: stage-16 source audit, 2026-09-17. Source-level verification only — the deployed app at app.tradeflows.net is unverified (deployment status unverified; origin answered 522 (origin unreachable) on 2026-09-17).
Covers: Signals (verified in source). Steps are written at the level the audit verified — the feature exists in the pinned source. Exact labels in a running app may differ; if they do, stop and see troubleshooting.
Steps
- Know where the computation happens: the audited source computes indicators in Web Workers — background scripts in your own browser — from market data the app has loaded. Expected result: You can place the signal in the pipeline: data in → calculation → number or marker on screen.
- Read a signal as a calculation result, full stop. A signal is a rule applied to past prices (for example, an average crossing another average). It is arithmetic on history. Nothing on this site or in the audited app turns it into a recommendation to buy, sell or hold anything. Expected result: You can say "this indicator crossed because these prices averaged higher" — and nothing stronger.
- Try the same arithmetic yourself in the Lab: it computes a simple moving average over a fixed synthetic series, step by step, with the working shown. Expected result: You have reproduced one indicator by hand on data where the right answer is known.
- Keep the boundary: the audited source contains no order-execution path (verified by searching the source for broker order routes — none exist). A signal in this product cannot place a trade. Expected result: No expectation that any signal "does" anything beyond being displayed.
Not covered by this guide (verification pending)
- The exact set of indicators the deployed app shows — verification pending: the source contains several strategy/indicator modules, but what is actually rendered in a running deployment is unverified.
