Trade Check: Multi-Timeframe Sentiment Analysis

Trade Check is a one-click market analysis tool. Pick a symbol, pick how you want to trade it, and Trade Check runs a full technical analysis across multiple timeframes at once. You get a single overall score from 0 to 100, a clear bullish or bearish read, and a suggested stop-loss and take-profit you can execute in one click.

How to use Trade Check:

1. Open the Command Center and click "Trade Check".
2. Read and accept the Important Disclaimer (one-time per session).
3. Pick your Trade Type: Scalping analyzes 1m / 5m / 15m timeframes, Intraday analyzes 15m / 1h / 4h, Swing analyzes 4h / Daily / Weekly.
4. Pick your Direction: Buy or Sell.
5. Pick your Risk Level: Low (5% per trade), Medium (20%), or High (50%).

One-click execution. Once the analysis is done, you can edit the lot, stop, and take-profit if you want, then click Execute to place the trade directly. Or click Save Report to keep the analysis for later.

Market Scanner: Live Pattern Detection

The Market Scanner watches your chart in real-time and highlights any patterns it finds. You pick which patterns to look for. The scanner does the rest.

How to use the Market Scanner:

1. Open the Command Center (right panel) and click "Market Scanner".
2. You'll see three expandable groups: Candlestick Patterns, Price Action, and Market Structure.
3. Expand any group and click the toggle next to any pattern to turn scanning on for it. Active patterns light up in color.
4. The scanner immediately starts looking for that pattern on your current chart. When a match is found, it gets highlighted directly on the chart with colored markers, zones, or labels.
5. You can turn on multiple patterns at once. Scan for Doji + Engulfing + Order Blocks all at the same time.
6. Click "Clear All" to turn off all scanners and remove the highlights from the chart.

What it can scan for:

• check_circleCandlestick Patterns (25+). Single-candle (Doji, Hammer, Shooting Star, Pin Bar, Marubozu), two-candle (Engulfing, Harami, Tweezer, Inside Bar, Piercing, Dark Cloud), and multi-candle (Morning Star, Evening Star, 3 White Soldiers, 3 Black Crows, Fakey).
• check_circlePrice Action & SMC (20+). Break & Retest, S/R Breakout, Range Breakout, Trend Line Break, Order Block, Fair Value Gap, Liquidity Grab, Swing Failure, Break of Structure, Change of Character, Supply/Demand Zones, Flip Zones, Quasimodo, Breaker Block, Mitigation Block, OTE Zone, Inducement, and Judas Swing.
• check_circleMarket Structure & Chart Patterns (30+). Swing High/Low, HH/HL/LH/LL, Equal Highs/Lows, Trend Direction, Consolidation, Head & Shoulders, Double Top/Bottom, Wedges, Flags, Pennants, Triangles, Cup & Handle, Channels, all Harmonic Patterns, and Elliott Wave structures.

How it appears on the chart. Different patterns show up differently. Candlestick patterns get colored markers above or below the candle. Supply/demand zones and order blocks appear as shaded rectangles. Structure breaks show connection lines and labels. Harmonic patterns draw the full XABCD shape with Fibonacci levels. Everything updates live as new candles form.

Module Quick Actions

Every module has quick-action buttons so you can get things done fast.

• check_circleDeploy pushes a strategy live with one click after backtesting.
• check_circleBacktest runs any strategy against historical data instantly.
• check_circleMonitor lets you watch live strategy performance and trade execution.
• check_circleConfig tweaks the settings for any module to match how you like to trade.

Build your own custom indicators by fusing existing ones together. Pick the indicators you trust, choose how they combine, and save the result as a brand new indicator you can use on any chart or inside any strategy.

What is the Indicator Matrix?

Save time from analyzing multiple indicators and combine them into one instead. The Indicator Matrix lets you fuse two or more existing indicators into one brand new custom indicator. Think of it like mixing paint colors. You take indicators you already know and blend them into something unique.

• check_circleFound inside the Algo Builder panel. Click the “Indicator Matrix” tab on the left side.
• check_circleCombine any 2 or more indicators into a single fused output.
• check_circleChoose exactly which part of each indicator you want. For example, just the RSI value, or just the MACD histogram, or just the upper Bollinger Band.
• check_circleYour custom indicator shows up right on the chart alongside your other indicators.
• check_circleSaved to the cloud. Available across all your devices and sessions.

How to Create a Custom Indicator: Step by Step

Here's exactly how to build your first fused indicator.

1. Open the Algo Builder from the Command Center (right panel), then click the “Indicator Matrix” tab.
2. Click “Add Layer” to add your first indicator. Pick from the list (SMA, EMA, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Stochastic, and many more).
3. Choose which output you want from that indicator. For example, MACD has three outputs: MACD Line, Signal Line, and Histogram. Pick the one you need.
4. Set the parameters (like period length) and give the layer a color.
5. Add a second layer (or more) by clicking “Add Layer” again and picking another indicator.
6. Choose a Blend Mode. This controls how the layers combine together (see below).
7. Adjust the weight of each layer if you want one indicator to have more influence than the other.
8. Pick a visualization style: Line, Area, Bars, Histogram, Dots, or Step.
9. Give it a name and click Save. Your custom indicator is now available to use on any chart.

Blend Modes: How Layers Combine

The blend mode controls the math behind how your indicator layers merge together. Here's what each one does in simple terms:

• check_circleAverage takes the middle value of all layers. Great for smoothing out two signals into one.
• check_circleWeighted is the same as average, but you control how much weight each layer gets (for example, 70% RSI + 30% CCI).
• check_circleDifference subtracts one indicator from another. Shows the gap between two signals.
• check_circleMultiply multiplies the layers together. Useful for amplifying signals when both agree.
• check_circleRatio divides one indicator by another. Shows the relative strength between two indicators.
• check_circleMaximum takes whichever indicator has the highest value at each point.
• check_circleMinimum takes whichever indicator has the lowest value at each point.
• check_circleCrossover detects the moment when one layer crosses above or below another. Gives you a +1 or -1 signal at the crossing point.

Visualization Types

Choose how your custom indicator looks on the chart.

• check_circleLine is a clean continuous line. Best for trend-style indicators like moving averages.
• check_circleArea fills the space below the line. Helps the eye spot the indicator from across the chart.
• check_circleBars display each value as a vertical bar. Useful for showing magnitude.
• check_circleHistogram is similar to bars but centered on a zero line, so positive and negative values show clearly.
• check_circleDots plot each value as a single point. Clean look for less-frequent signals.
• check_circleStep is a stair-step line that holds each value until the next one. Great for showing discrete state changes.

Extra Features

A few more things you can do with your custom indicators.

• check_circleFormula view. As you build, the platform shows you the mathematical formula in real-time (for example, avg(RSI(14), CCI(20))).
• check_circleAuto short name. A compact label is generated automatically so your indicator fits neatly on the chart legend.
• check_circleAuto-placement. The system figures out if your indicator belongs on the main price chart (like a moving average) or in a separate panel below (like an oscillator).
• check_circleDelete and edit. Manage your library of custom indicators anytime. Edit the layers, change colors, or delete ones you no longer need.
• check_circleUse in Algo Builder. Once saved, your custom indicators can be used as conditions inside your trading strategies.

Chart patterns are visual setups that often repeat in markets. AlgoBars watches for them automatically and labels each one the moment it completes, with the bullish or bearish bias and key levels marked right on the chart. Harmonic patterns also get drawn out fully with Fibonacci ratios so you know exactly where to enter and where to take profit.

Classical Chart Patterns

These classic patterns are detected and highlighted on your chart automatically.

• check_circleHead & Shoulders is a reversal pattern with three peaks: a tall middle peak (head) flanked by two smaller peaks (shoulders). Signals trend exhaustion.
• check_circleInverse Head & Shoulders is the bullish opposite: three troughs that signal a bottom.
• check_circleDouble Top is a bearish reversal where price hits the same high level twice and fails to break through.
• check_circleDouble Bottom is a bullish reversal where price hits the same low level twice and holds.
• check_circleRising Wedge is a bearish pattern where price rises in a narrowing range. Often breaks downward.
• check_circleFalling Wedge is a bullish pattern where price falls in a narrowing range. Often breaks upward.
• check_circleBull Flag is a continuation pattern: a strong upward move followed by a small downward consolidation, then another push up.
• check_circleBear Flag is the bearish opposite of the Bull Flag.
• check_circlePennant is a continuation pattern with a tight, symmetrical triangle of consolidation after a strong move. Price usually breaks in the original direction.
• check_circleAscending Triangle is a bullish continuation with flat resistance and a rising support line. Usually breaks upward.
• check_circleCup & Handle is a bullish continuation pattern with a rounded bottom (cup) followed by a small consolidation (handle). Often precedes a breakout.
• check_circleRectangle is a range pattern where price oscillates between flat support and resistance. Trade the breakout in either direction.

Harmonic Patterns

These special patterns use Fibonacci levels to give you exact entry points and price targets. The number next to each pattern shows the key Fibonacci ratio that defines its completion zone.

• check_circleGartley (0.786) is the original harmonic pattern. Completes at the 0.786 retracement with high reversal probability.
• check_circleButterfly (1.27) completes beyond the original price extreme at the 1.27 extension. Great for catching turning points.
• check_circleBat (0.886) completes at the 0.886 retracement. Tighter risk than the Gartley.
• check_circleCrab (1.618) is the most extreme harmonic. Completes at the 1.618 extension, way beyond the original move.
• check_circleShark (0.886) is similar to the Bat but with slightly different leg ratios. Often appears in volatile markets.
• check_circleCypher (0.786) is a modern harmonic with stricter leg validation. Considered more reliable than the Gartley by some traders.
• check_circleABCD (Equal) is the simplest harmonic: a 1:1 leg pattern where the AB and CD legs are equal in length and time.
• check_circleThree Drives (1.272) has three pushes to a new extreme, each at the 1.272 extension. Strong reversal signal.

Algo Tokens are the universal billing unit on AlgoBars. Every paid action on the platform deducts tokens from your balance: AI strategy generation, AI audio alerts, automated trade signals, lot volume, and backtest data pulls. The math is simple: 1 token = $0.10. Your monthly plan fee equals your included token allocation in dollars, and you spend tokens however you want across any of these action types.

How Tokens Work

Tokens give you flexibility. Instead of separate metering buckets for AI usage, trade execution, and data pulls, you have one unified balance to spend across all of them.

• check_circle1 token = $0.10. Simple, transparent unit of billing.
• check_circleYour plan fee equals your token allocation in dollars. Active gets 300 tokens ($30 value), Plus gets 1,000 ($100), Pro gets 2,000 ($200), Scale gets 10,000 ($1,000).
• check_circleSpend on any action type. AI generation, audio alerts, automated trades, lot volume, or backtest data. One bucket, your choice.
• check_circleTokens reset at the end of each cycle. Unused tokens do not roll over.
• check_circleReal-time deduction. Watch your balance update live in your wallet as actions are executed.
• check_circlePay only for what you use. If a strategy isn't running, no tokens are consumed.

What Each Action Costs

Every paid action on the platform has a fixed token cost. The Scale plan gets 20% off all rates as a volume benefit.

Tokens Included by Plan

Every paid plan comes with a monthly token allocation. Here's what you get at each tier.

• check_circleStarter ($0/month): 60 tokens. Pay-as-you-go style. Perfect for testing the platform.
• check_circleStarter ($29/month): 300 tokens ($30 value). Roughly 60 automated 1-lot trades per month.
• check_circlePro ($97/month): 1,000 tokens ($100 value). Roughly 100 automated 1-lot trades per month.
• check_circleElite ($297/month): 3,000 tokens ($300 value). Roughly 300 automated 1-lot trades per month.
• check_circleScale ($997/month): 10,000 tokens (1,250 value with 20% off rates). Roughly 1,250 automated 1-lot trades per month at the discounted rate.

Backtest Data Tokens

Backtest data pulls also draw from your token balance. Pricing depends on the timeframe density: 1-week and 1-month bars cost almost nothing ($0.01 per market per year), while 1-minute data is the most expensive ($6.00 per market per year). The full rate table is in Chapter 30: Pricing & Plans. Same formula across the board: cost = markets × years × rate.

What Happens If You Run Out

Your strategies do not stop when you exceed your monthly token allocation. Overage continues seamlessly.

• check_circleNo interruption. Strategies continue running past your monthly allocation.
• check_circleOverage billed at your tier's rates. Plus pays $0.10 per overage token. Scale pays the discounted $0.08.
• check_circleCharged on next invoice. Overage appears on your next billing cycle, not as a separate top-up.
• check_circleUpgrade anytime if you find you regularly exceed your allocation. Upgrades take effect immediately with prorated billing.

How to Check Your Balance

1. Click your profile avatar in the top-right of the header.
2. Open the Wallet section.
3. View your current token balance, monthly allocation, usage breakdown by action type, and reset date.

If you want a higher monthly allocation, upgrade your plan from Subscription. If you want lower per-action rates, the Scale plan is the only tier with the 20% discount.
