# Hold To Opposing Signal

Holding to the opposing signal means leaving your trade/position open until an opposite signal appears.&#x20;

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