3. Understanding ViperAI

How ViperAI Works

Once activated, ViperAI will analyze market data to provide trading signals. Here’s how the system operates:

  • Entry Signals: When the model predicts a shift in momentum, it will send alerts for long or short positions.

  • Exit Signals: Signals to close positions will be triggered either when the model detects a weakening momentum or when the 2% stop-loss is activated.

Examples of entry and exit notifications highlighted in blue, with signal entry and stop-loss marked in orange.

4. Interpreting and Using the Signals

Using ViperAI for Better Trading Decisions

When you receive a long or short signal, consider the following:

  • Long Signals: Indicate a favorable time to buy. If the market is trending upwards, this might be a strong signal to enter a position.

  • Short Signals: Suggest a good opportunity to sell or open a short position. If you’re currently holding a long position, consider taking profits.

Best Practices

  • Set a Stop-Loss: Always set a 2% stop-loss after entering a trade to limit potential losses.

  • Combine Signals: Use ViperAI signals along with other indicators, such as RSI or MACD, to get better confirmation. Click the links for a detailed explanation.

5. Risk Management

Risk Management Strategies

While ViperAI assists in identifying trading opportunities, managing risk is crucial. Here are some strategies:

  • Set Stop-Losses: A 2% stop-loss on every trade can help mitigate risks from unexpected market movements.

  • Diversify: Consider using ViperAI across multiple trading pairs to spread risk and enhance overall performance.

6. Filtering Options

  • Sources: Choose from All, AI-Based, or Classic.

  • Types: Filter by All, Signals, or Indicators.

  • Tiers: Select from All, Free, Pro, or Whitelisted.
