1. **Save changes button.**\
   Green highlighting indicates new changes in signal settings.
2. **Copy** signal settings.
3. **Paste** signal settings from clipboard.\
   Browser permission may be needed to paste from clipboard.
4. **Delete** hook.
5. **Enabled / Disabled** message reception for this signal (webhook). \
   This option is also in signal list.
6. **Connected signal name.** Displayed in signal list.
7. **Currency pair name.**\
   TradingView lets you specify `"{{ticker}}"` as a placeholder, and it will be automatically replaced with the currency pair name.
8. **Buy / Sell.**\
   This is a mandatory field in the signal message.\
   Modify '`buy`' or '`sell`' text in the signal message to create an order, as the terminal always accepts this parameter from the message.\
   `Strategy` is selected when the signal uses TradingView strategy.
9. **Signal message.**\
   A set of parameters that will be accepted from the signal message when creating an order, not from the terminal settings.
10. **Signal URL.**\
    Finandy creates orders based on the signals sent to this URL.
11. [**Test connected signal settings.**](https://docs.finandy.com/algo-trading/signals-tradingview/signal-testing)
12. **Open positions list.**
13. **View received signal log.**
14. **Signal source.**\
    **TradingView / Server** - signal source is TradingView or your server.\
    [**Master signal (Master hook)**](https://docs.finandy.com/algo-trading/signals-tradingview/signal-copying) signal source is a Master signal (Master hook) created in Finandy.
15. **Allowed IP.**\
    By default, signals are only accepted from TradingView servers. If you are setting up signal reception from your server, you need to add its IP address.\
    If you specify **0.0.0.0/0**, IP restrictions will be removed, but we do not recommend using this permanently, only for testing, as it reduces the security of your trading.
16. **Master hook.**\
    Activate this option if you need to copy the signal to other users.\ <mark style="color:red;">Attention!</mark> With this option active, orders will not be created. If you need to create orders in your account, add another signal receiver and specify this Master hook as the source.
