A guide to understanding the entry and exit alert format. What each field means, how to interpret R-multiples, and what to do (and not do) when you receive an alert.
Tips for New Users
Start with conservative settings
When you first connect, choose the Conservative risk profile. This gives QARI's system time to find setups in your specific market conditions without committing too much capital until you are comfortable.
Do not panic when QARI does not trade immediately
QARI only trades when conditions are right. It may take several days after connecting before the first trade. This is correct behaviour, forced entries in poor conditions is exactly what QARI is designed to avoid.
Keep enough USDT in your spot wallet
QARI needs a free balance on your exchange to trade. Ensure you always have enough USDT to cover multiple potential positions based on your per-trade allocation setting.
Review your dashboard weekly, not daily
Short-term noise can cause unnecessary stress. Review your trade history and R-tracker weekly. QARI is designed for consistent performance over weeks and months, not day-to-day.
