# Hold To Opposing Signal Holding to the opposing signal means leaving your trade/position open until an opposite signal appears.

For example, if you enter a trade at a green [FlowMaster™ Enigma](/fundamentals/flowmaster-tm-enigma.md), you hold the position until a red signal appears. The opposing signal can be any signal - an Enigma, [Harmonic](/fundamentals/harmonic-patterns.md), [FibDot](/fundamentals/fibellidott.md), [AO cross](/fundamentals/flowmaster-tm-alpha-omega.md) etc. as long as it is the opposing direction/color.

If you shorted at the bearish Headshot, you would ideally hold the position until an opposing signal appears, such as the blue FibElliDott which offers a good location to close at least half the position to secure profits.

If you bought at the bullish Headshot, you would ideally hold the position until an opposing signal appears, such as the pink FibElliDott which offers a good location to close at least half the position to secure profits.

Here is an example where a red Enigma suggests a short position. You would ideally hold the position until the blue Enigma offers a good location to close at least half the position to secure profits.

Here is another example: A green Enigma suggests a long position. You would ideally hold the position until the pink Enigma offers a good location to close at least half the position to secure profits.

*** ## Larger Targets Holding to the opposing signal can potentially help you aim for larger profit targets. By waiting for an opposite signal, you align your exits with significant market shifts.

Here is an example of a bearish PRZ Cross suggesting a short position. Hold the position until the opposing signal appears. In this instance an Alpha cross appears, indicating it’s time to close the position to take profits.

Here is an example of a bullish PRZ Cross for long positions. Hold the position until the opposing signal appears. A red Omega has appeared indicating a good time to close the position.
