What Is the Target Period, and When Does a Technical Signal Expire?
The Target Period on a Pluang Technical Signal is the time window in which the price is expected to reach the Target Price. Each signal expires at a time set by its provider, and Pluang then removes it from the app automatically.
What happens to a signal, and to your order
| Situation | The signal | An order you placed from it |
|---|---|---|
| The signal is active | Shown in the list, newest first | Not affected by the signal |
| The signal expires | Removed automatically from the list and the detail page | Stays exactly as you set it |
| Your order is still open | No change | Fills, expires or is cancelled under that asset's normal rules |
Each signal gets its own Target Period from the provider, so the window can differ from one signal to another. You can tap Target Period on a signal in the app to read its explanation.
An order you place from a signal is separate from it. When the signal expires, any Target Price or Stop Loss you kept on your own order stays as you set it, and you can still find the asset on its asset page.

Related questions:
Q: Can I still see a signal after it expires?
No. Expired signals are removed automatically, so the list and detail pages only show active signals.
Q: Does my order disappear when the signal expires?
No. Your order is separate from the signal and stays as you set it until it fills, expires or you cancel it.
Q: Do I have to sell before the Target Period ends?
No. The Target Period describes the signal, not your position. When to sell is your decision.
Q: Why is the Target Period different between signals?
The provider sets a period for each signal, so it varies from one signal to another.
