Abstract: Let $X$ be a $v$-set, $B$ a set of 3-subsets (triples) of $X$, and $B^{+}cup{B}^{-}$ a partition of $B$ with $|B^{-}|=s$. The pair $(X,B)$ is called a simple signed Steiner triple system, denoted by ST$(v,s)$, if the number of occurrences of every 2-subset of $X$ in triples $Bin{B}^{+}$ is one more than the number of occurrences in triples $Bin{B}^{-}$. In this paper we prove that $st(v,s)$ exists if and only if $vequiv1,3pmod6$, $ve7$, and $sin0,1,\mathrm{...},s_v-6,s_v-4,s_v$, where $s_v=v(v-1)(v-3)/12$ and for $v=7$, $sin0,2,3,5,6,8,14$.
