How to evaluate a Channel

Before you join a PipAlert Channel, use this checklist. It is built for Subscribers who want structured Signals—not chat noise.

1. Structure over hype
Read the Channel description and browse recent Signals. Prefer providers who publish pair, order type, entry, stop loss, and take-profits every time.
2. Packages and Audience
Check free vs paid Packages and what Audience each Signal uses. Know whether free Subscribers see the same setups as paid Subscribers.
3. Stop loss and position size
Measure stop distance in pips and run the risk calculator so a full stop still fits your account risk percent.
4. Progress Actions
See whether the provider applies Progress Actions (tp hits, move stop, Close). Silent Signals after entry are harder to manage.
5. Timing and news
Scan the Economic Calendar around the Signal's pair. High-Importance events can widen spreads and invalidate tight stops.
6. Trust and exit rules
Past results do not guarantee future profits. Start with a free Package when available, size small, and leave Channels that stop updating.
