Why Does the Upside % on an Expert Signal Keep Changing?
Upside on a Pluang Expert Signal keeps changing because it compares the live market price with the Target Price, so it updates whenever the price moves. It also changes if the research team updates the Target Price.
How Upside moves
| What happens | What Upside does |
|---|---|
| The price rises toward the Target Price | Upside gets smaller |
| The price falls | Upside gets larger |
| The research team raises the Target Price | Upside gets larger |
| The research team lowers the Target Price | Upside gets smaller |
| The price reaches the Target Price | The signal leaves the list the next time it reloads |
Upside is the gap between the current price and the Target Price, shown as a percentage of the current price. If you work it out yourself as a percentage of the Entry Price instead, your number will differ from the app.
The current price follows the live market feed in the app, so Upside can change from one moment to the next while the market is open. Tap Upside on the card for a short explanation.
A large Upside doesn't mean a pick is more likely to work. It only shows how far the price would need to travel to reach the research team's Target Price.

Related questions:
Q: Why doesn't my own calculation match the app?
The app divides the gap by the current price, not by the Entry Price or the price you paid, and it uses the live price at that moment.
Q: Why can't I see the Upside?
Upside and the prices are part of full access for Pluang+ members. Other users see the top pick for each asset class with its numbers hidden.
Q: Does a falling Upside mean the signal is failing?
No. Upside falls when the price moves closer to the Target Price.
Q: Does a change in Upside affect an order I placed?
No. Your order follows its own settings, such as your Take Profit and Stop Loss, not the signal's Upside.
