# Signals occurs

**Specific amount of longs or shorts signals (by the general strategy) needed to trigger an increase/decrease signal in the** [Adjust position rules Box](https://docs.runbot.io/triggers-boxes/adjust-position-rules)**.**

*Ex 1: \[Increase position by 10%] \[When 2 long signals occurs]*

*-> Current position is long 10 000$. A few hours later, the general strategy triggers 1 long signal, but it's not enough yet to increase the position. A few moments later, a second long signal appears, there are now 2 longs signals active by the general strategy. The position will immediatly be increased by 10% to 11 000$.*

*Ex 2: \[Increase position by 100%] \[ Delay between 2 triggers: 2 candles of 1 hour timeframe] \[Limit the size up to 300%] \[When 1 long signal occurs]*

*-> Starting and current position is 10 000$. At 1:00 PM, a long signal is triggered. Position is increased by 100%, now at 20 000$.* \
*Another signal is triggered one hour later, position is increased once more by 100% (100% \* 20 000 = 20 000$ increase) but capped at 30 000$, since 30 000$ is 300% of the max base trade position allowed (10 000 \* 300%). This is why the position is increased only by 10 000$ and not 20 000$.*
