Understanding Our 3-Tier System
HalalSignalz offers three tiers to match different risk tolerances and investment goals. All tiers use Shariah-compliant signals, but differ in frequency, confidence thresholds, and risk management.
Key Principle: Higher returns typically require accepting higher risk (drawdown). Choose based on your comfort level, not just returns.
