Free forex signals — with the losses left in
“Free forex signals” is usually the most expensive thing you can type into Google. Here is the version where you can audit the giver.
That is our whole book — every signal the system has sent, followed to its stop, its target, or its timeout, and published. Roughly two out of three lose. The book is positive anyway, because losers cost about one unit of risk and winners are targeted at several. We lead with that number because it is the one thing the free-signals economy never shows you, and because if we quietly deleted our losers you would deserve to know.
Why most free signals cost so much
Nobody runs a Telegram channel out of charity. When the signals are free, one of three business models is paying for them, and it helps to know which one you are:
- The broker kickback. The channel is an introducing broker: it earns a slice of the spread every time you trade. Notice the incentive — it gets paid when you trade more, not when you trade well. Twelve signals a day isn’t generosity; it’s a billing cycle.
- The VIP upsell. The free channel loses just often enough to convince you the “real” signals live in the paid tier. The paid tier, mysteriously, has the same author.
- The exit strategy. The channel buys first, then tells ten thousand followers to buy. You are not receiving a signal; you are receiving an invoice for someone else’s position.
Our model is duller: the free tier and the public ledger are the marketing for the paid plans. That means the incentive points the right way — the signals have to be worth paying for, and the record that proves it (or disproves it) is public either way.
What you get free here
- A free plan. Real-time, rule-based signals on a limited selection of instruments and strategies — the same engine paid users get, not a decoy feed. Each alert carries the whole trade: direction, entry, stop, target.
- 14 days of everything. Every new account gets full Pro access — all 15 markets, all 7 strategies, all 6 timeframes — with no credit card. If it is not for you, it expires into the free plan, not into a surprise charge.
- The receipts, forever. The Weekly Recap and the per-market track records publish every result in R terms and never go behind a paywall. They are the audit trail, and an audit trail you have to pay to see is called something else.
How to vet any signal provider in five minutes
Use this on us too — that is what it is for.
- 1. Ask to see the losers. Every real strategy has them, in quantity. A wall of winning screenshots is not a track record; it is a mood board.
- 2. Ask for R, not win rate. Average result per trade, in multiples of risk, over the whole book. Our 2,292-trade analysis shows win rates from 19% to 49% all making money — the win rate alone tells you nothing except how the marketing will sound.
- 3. Check the timestamps. Signals should be recorded before their outcomes, not after. If results only ever appear once they have won, you have found the delete key, not an edge.
- 4. Count the signals. Twenty trades proves nothing; two thousand starts to mean something. Small samples are where 90% win rates live.
Try the whole thing free
Create an account and you get 14 days of full Pro access — every market, every strategy, every timeframe — no credit card, no call from a “senior account manager.” After that you keep the free plan or pick a paid one (Core $19.99/mo, Pro $49.99/mo). The ledger stays public either way, so you can make the decision the way we would want to: from the numbers.

Frequently asked questions
Are free forex signals reliable?
Most are not, and the business model explains why: free signal channels usually make money from broker kickbacks on your trading volume, from upselling a "VIP" tier, or from trading against their own followers. Reliability is beside the point for them. The only honest test of any signal source — free or paid — is a timestamped record of every signal it ever sent, losers included. If you cannot see the losses, you are the product.
How do free signal providers make money?
Three common ways: introducing-broker commissions (they earn a slice of your spread every time you trade, so more trades beats better trades), VIP upsells (the free channel exists to sell you the paid one), and exit liquidity (the channel buys first, then tells you to buy). Ours is simpler: the free tier and the public ledger are marketing for the paid plans. You can check whether the marketing is honest, because the ledger is public.
What do I get for free?
Three things, no credit card: a free plan with a limited selection of instruments and strategies; 14 days of full Pro access when you create an account; and the Weekly Recap plus per-market pages, which publish every signal result in R terms — those stay free for everyone, forever, because they are the receipts.
Are these live signals?
Yes — alerts fire in real time when a rule-based setup confirms on a closed candle, delivered to the web dashboard and by email with the full trade defined: instrument, timeframe, direction, entry, stop and target. They are also tracked live to their outcome, which is the part most services skip.
What win rate should I expect?
Around a third of our signals close as winners, and the book is net positive anyway, because winners are targeted at multiples of what losers cost. That is the honest shape of breakout trading. A free channel advertising 90% accuracy is telling you about its screenshot folder, not its ledger.
Free signals vs paid signals — what actually changes?
With us: coverage and selection. Paid plans (Core $19.99/mo, Pro $49.99/mo) unlock more instruments, strategies and timeframes and full alert delivery. The signal quality does not change — free users get the same engine, and the published results cover the whole book either way.
Is this financial advice?
No. These are educational, rule-based trade-signal alerts and analytics. Trading carries real risk of loss, past results do not guarantee future results, and nothing here is personalised advice.
