We can see from the last two digits of the alert that the average trade duration for this strategy is 2.7 trading days. This alert has been issued clearly because the Slow Black and Slow Red oscillators have both started to turn upwards. In the enlarged chart we can also see that the residue in grey has been moving consistently between the bounds and has now begun upward movement.. So we have the direction and trigger for the trade from the alert, now let us look for safety of this suggested trade.

The DTI line in yellow in the chart is slightly upwards, so most importantly it is not against a buy. Since this alert is based on the slower oscillators, it is good to check for safety of such a trade from the End-of-Day chart for CBRL on 7/6 (the previous day to the alert). This chart is shown below.

In the above end-of-day graph, we can see that the Fast oscillators in the top right chart have nearly bottomed out. In the top left chart, we see the dominant Pink oscillator turning upwards. Thus the next upswing of Fast oscillators will have the safe support of this Mid Pink oscillator. We also know that CBRL does not having any earning announcement in the near future. So this buy alert is safe to take.

The exit for the alert was issued on 7/9 at 11:00am as shown below at a price of $47.52. Exits are always indicated by first digit followed by all zeros. So in this example it is 40000000000.

We can see that the exist alert comes from the Slow Black oscillator turning down. Thus though the Slow Blue oscillator is still moving up and yellow DTI line indicates upward movement, it makes safe sense to exit. After all, the trade made a profit of 3.7% in less than 2 days! Refer back to the original alert and we can see that the strategy behind the alert has historical profit average of 2.8% from 44 trades.
