# Custom signal

Custom signals are used for very particular events and advanced strategies. If there is a particular event, you can use a custom signal to dissociate it from others signals, but it works the same way!

To create a custom signal, click here:  <img src="/files/sVzAGR2U7Pk3kvZxpjEI" alt="" data-size="original">

*Ex:* [ Entry in position rules](/triggers-boxes/entry-in-position-rules.md) *enter a trade if \[There is a minimum of 2 long signals] \[There is a minimum of 1 custom signal]*\
\&#xNAN;***Indicators Box** \[Long signal if MACD turns bull] \[Long signal if RSI hits 25] \[Custom signal if RSI hits 10]*

*In this example, you want your general strategy to open a long position if you meet 2 long signals at the same time.* \
*However, you feel very bullish when the RSI hits 10, so you want to long now and don't want to wait for a second signal to buy (which is MACD turns bull here).*

*If RSI = 25, MACD = bear, the bot will not open any position*

*If RSI = 25, MACD = bull, the bot will open a long position*

*If RSI = 10, MACD = bear, the bot will open a long position*

You can use that feature for many others situations, feel free to try it in others boxes and tools too!

Tips about custom signals:

* Minimum custom signal = 2 is equivalent to "AND"
* Minimum custom signal = 1 is equivalent to "OR"
* Minimum custom signal = 1 and Maximum custom signal = 1 is equivalent to "XOR"
* Maximum custom signal = 0 is equivalent to "NOT"
