How to analyze a trading chart with AI

What AI chart analysis is

AI chart analysis uses a vision model, an AI that can read images, to interpret a price chart the way a technical analyst would. Instead of drawing lines and checking indicators by hand, you get the structure of the chart laid out in a fixed, repeatable format.

It is not a price prediction and not a signal service. A useful analysis tells you what the chart shows, what would confirm each direction, and where each idea would be proven wrong, so that you make the decision.

Step by step

1. Open the chart you want to analyze, on the timeframe you trade.
2. Make sure the candles, the price axis and the symbol and timeframe label are visible. Keep the indicators you rely on.
3. Take a screenshot, or photograph your screen.
4. Upload it to Wick from your photo library or the camera.
5. Read the report in order: the overview, then the scenarios, the strategy and the key levels.

What the report contains

• Overview: the instrument, the price, the trend, an overall signal with a confidence score, plus volume, market phase, momentum and risk level.
• Scenarios: a bullish and a bearish case, each with a probability, an entry, a target, a stop and the risk-reward ratio.
• Strategy: the recommended approach as a plan, with the trigger to wait for, the entry, the stop and the target.
• Key levels: support, resistance and the stop, the detected chart pattern, and the indicators visible on the chart.

How to read the result

• Start with the signal and the confidence, but read on. A 62% bearish case still leaves a 38% bullish one.
• Check what has to happen first. Each scenario only applies once its trigger fires; until then, price is simply between levels.
• Look at the risk-reward ratio. It tells you how much a plan aims to make for each unit it risks.
• Compare timeframes. A setup on the 5-minute chart can run against the trend on the daily chart.

Getting a good result

• Show the whole chart: the price axis on the right, the time axis at the bottom and enough history for the trend to be clear.
• Use a sharp image. A cropped axis or a blurry photo gives a weaker read.
• The analysis reflects the chart at the moment of the screenshot. Take a new one when price moves on.
• Treat probabilities as estimates, and the result as a second opinion to check against your own read.
