What's the Difference Between Expert Signals, Technical Signals, and Analyst Ratings on Pluang?
On Pluang, Expert Signals are picks written by Pluang's research team, Technical Signals are automated chart-pattern signals from a third-party provider, and Analyst Ratings are a consensus of third-party analysts. All three sit in Smart Picks.
The three signal types side by side
| Expert Signals | Technical Signals | Analyst Ratings | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who makes them | Pluang's research team | A third-party technical-analysis provider, automatically | Third-party analysts, as a consensus |
| Assets | Crypto, US stocks, Indonesian stocks | Crypto, US stocks | US stocks |
| How they update | Curated: published and updated by the research team | Automatically, as patterns are detected | When analysts update their views |
| Who can use them | Pluang+ members get full access; other users see a preview | All users | All users |
| Available only on Pluang | Yes | No | No |
Each type answers a different question. Expert Signals give the research team's own view, with an Entry Price range, a Target Price and a Horizon. Technical Signals point out chart patterns and key price levels. Analyst Ratings summarise what outside analysts think of a US stock.
You can use them together, but none of them places an order for you. You decide whether and how much to invest, and every investment carries risk.
