# How Do Flicker's Buy/Hold/Sell Trading Signals Work?

What Flicker's Buy, Hold, and Sell signal actually measures, how it's calculated, and how to read it alongside your own research.

Every asset Flicker tracks gets a **Buy / Hold / Sell** signal — a single, ranked read on whether the technical setup currently favors buying, holding, or selling.

## What the signal shows

The signal condenses standard technical analysis — trend, momentum, volume, and volatility indicators — into one call, plus a written breakdown of what's driving it. It's built to answer the question a trader actually asks: "does this look like a buy, or not?" — without requiring you to read five indicators yourself.

## How it's calculated

Flicker runs the same technical analysis a trader would do by hand: moving averages, RSI, MACD, volume trends, and support/resistance levels, combined into a single directional read. Nothing here is a paid placement — assets aren't ranked because anyone paid for visibility, and the same methodology applies to every asset Flicker tracks.

## Timeframes and Pro access

The 1-hour timeframe is free for every asset. Other timeframes (4h, 1D, 1W, and more) are part of Flicker Pro, since traders on different horizons need the signal calculated over a different window.

## Signals vs. financial advice

The signal is informational, not investment advice. It reflects current technical conditions, not a guarantee of future price action — treat it as one input alongside your own research and risk management, not a replacement for either.

## Where to find it

Search or open any asset page to see its current signal, or use the [market screener](/assets) to scan signals across the whole market at once.

## Need Help?
