What does Cooling mean in Nostra?
A smart money signal where fewer than 3 of the traders still hold the position.
Definition
A smart money signal is Cooling when fewer than 3 of the top traders behind it still hold their position.
In more detail
Signals start when 3 or more traders scoring 70 or more hold the same side of a market. If some of them sell and fewer than 3 are left, the signal turns to Cooling.
A cooling signal stays on the page for 7 days, or until the market resolves, so you can see that the traders have moved on.
How Nostra uses it
Cooling signals are marked on the smart money page and in the app.
