# Signal Timing & Delivery

⏰ **Why Signals Come After Midnight (UTC)**

Our signal generation is based on **daily candle closes**, which means we wait for the daily price action to complete and close at **00:00 UTC**. Only _after_ the candle closes can we generate accurate and reliable signals — this is critical to avoid false entries or premature trades.

Once the daily close is confirmed:

* The system processes market data immediately.
* Signals are usually generated within **<10 minutes** after the daily close.

So, if users are receiving signals at around 2:09 AM local time in CEST, that corresponds to just after midnight UTC — which is the intended and necessary timing based on our data model.

#### 🌍 **Isn’t That Time Inconvenient for Some Users?**

Time zones do play a role. What might be early morning, afternoon for some other users and evening elsewhere. But consistency is key — and **daily close signals must be aligned to UTC to remain accurate across all users and agents**.

That said, we’re actively working on new features like:

* **“Valid Entry” reminders** during the day to help users check if a signal is still actionable.
* A notification system that reinforces the current market condition based on previous signal validity.

#### 🧠 **Are These Signals Meant to Be Traded Instantly?**

No. Signals are **tools**, not trading orders.

We created AITA Signals to empower users to make informed decisions, not to blindly follow entry points. Think of them as **daily strategic insights** based on proven quant models — giving you an edge, not a script.

You can:

* Choose to enter right after the signal.
* Wait for confirmation.
* Or skip if market conditions don’t align with your personal strategy.

#### ⚠️ Why Not Delay the Signal or Send It Later?

Delaying the signal would compromise accuracy:

* The “perfect” entry may be missed.
* Market conditions could shift unfavorably.
* Sending it early or late could trigger **false signals** or bad trades.

That’s why we’re committed to sending signals **as soon as the market data is valid and processed** — always right after the 00:00 UTC close.
