What is chart analysis?
Chart analysis explained
Chart analysis is the study of price action, patterns, and indicators to identify high-probability trading opportunities. Instruments trade 24 hours a day, 5 days a week through brokers — no central exchange required. You can trade in both directions: buy (long) when you expect prices to rise, or sell (short) when you expect them to fall.
Why use chart analysis?
- Highest daily volume of any market class
- Large price swings = high profit potential
- Clear technical levels and patterns to trade
- Diverse instruments — forex, indices, commodities, crypto
- Available on every major broker with tight spreads
- Can be traded with leverage for capital efficiency
What moves market prices?
Understanding these drivers is essential for anticipating market direction.
US Dollar (DXY)
Markets are inversely correlated to the dollar. When USD weakens, risk assets typically rise. Watch DXY for directional bias.
Interest Rates
Higher US real yields pressure risk assets. When the Fed cuts rates or signals dovishness, markets rally.
Geopolitics
Wars, elections, trade conflicts — uncertainty drives capital flows and creates trading opportunities.
Central Bank Policy
Rate decisions, QE programs, and forward guidance from major central banks drive multi-week trends.
Inflation Data
CPI, PPI, and PCE releases create intraday volatility. Real yields are the key metric to watch.
Risk Sentiment
When equities sell off, safe havens rally. Risk-on/risk-off dynamics drive correlations across all markets.
Trading strategies.
Trend Following
Identify the higher-timeframe direction and trade with it. Use moving averages (50/200 EMA) for confirmation.
Breakout Trading
Wait for price to break key support/resistance with momentum. Enter on the break, SL below the level.
Range Trading
During consolidation, buy at support and sell at resistance. Works well in quiet Asian sessions.
News Trading
React to NFP, CPI, FOMC. Markets can move 200+ pips in minutes. Requires fast execution and wider stops.
Signal-Based Trading
Let ChartAIScan analysts do the analysis. Receive entry/SL/TP, copy into your broker. Best for busy traders.
Scalping
Quick 5–30 pip trades on M1–M5 charts during London/NY overlap. High frequency, tight risk.
Protect your capital.
Risk management is more important than any strategy. Follow these rules religiously.
Never risk more than 1–2% per trade
If your account is $10,000, risk max $100–$200 per trade. This keeps you in the game through inevitable losing streaks.
Always use a hard stop-loss
No exceptions. Mental stops don't work. Set the SL in your broker before the trade is live. ChartAIScan provides one on every signal.
Position size from risk, not greed
Calculate your lot size from your stop distance and risk amount. Never pick a lot size first — let the math decide.
Cut losers fast, let winners run
Move SL to breakeven after TP1 hits. Take partials at TP2. Let the rest ride to TP3. Never add to losing positions.

Trading questions, answered.
What markets can ChartAIScan analyze? +
ChartAIScan provides AI-powered technical analysis across forex, indices, commodities, cryptocurrencies, and equities. Our algorithms scan multiple timeframes and instruments simultaneously, identifying high-probability setups with defined entry, stop-loss, and take-profit levels. Coverage spans major and minor pairs, global indices, and popular commodities.
How accurate are ChartAIScan signals? +
ChartAIScan maintains a 93% win rate calculated across all closed trades since 2018. This is verified publicly — every signal (wins and losses) is timestamped and logged in the app. The average winning trade captures 91.7 pips, with an average trade duration of 3 hours 25 minutes. We publish 4–8 signals per trading day.
What does a ChartAIScan signal include? +
Every ChartAIScan signal includes: exact entry price (or range), stop-loss level, three take-profit targets (TP1, TP2, TP3), suggested lot size based on 1% risk, and the trade direction (BUY or SELL). After entry, we send live management updates — SL adjustments, partial close instructions, and "move to breakeven" alerts.
What moves market prices? +
Markets are primarily driven by 5 factors: (1) Real interest rates — inversely correlated to risk assets; (2) US Dollar strength (DXY) — weaker dollar supports commodities and exports; (3) Geopolitical risk — conflicts and uncertainty drive safe-haven flows; (4) Central bank policy — rate decisions and QE programs move all asset classes; (5) Economic data — CPI, NFP, GDP releases create intraday volatility.
How much capital do I need to start trading? +
You can start trading with as little as $100–$500 using brokers that offer micro lots (0.01 lot). At 1% risk per trade with a 30-pip stop-loss, a $1,000 account would risk $10 per trade with a position size of approximately 0.03 lots. ChartAIScan signals include size recommendations based on your account size.
Which broker should I use? +
ChartAIScan signals work with any broker. Popular choices: IC Markets (raw spreads, best for active traders), Exness (flexible leverage, instant withdrawals), and Pepperstone (FCA regulated, TradingView integration). Key factors: spread (lower is better), execution speed, regulation, and platform support (MT4/MT5/cTrader).
What is the best time to trade? +
Markets are most active during the London-New York overlap (12:00–16:00 UTC), when both sessions are open simultaneously. This period produces the largest moves and tightest spreads. The London session open (07:00 UTC) often sets the day's direction. The Asian session (00:00–07:00 UTC) is quieter — good for range trading but avoid breakout strategies.
Is trading risky? +
Yes. Trading leveraged instruments carries significant risk — volatile markets can move substantially in hours or minutes. With leverage, losses can exceed your deposit. Never risk more than 1–2% of your account per trade. Always use a hard stop-loss. ChartAIScan includes a pre-calculated stop-loss on every signal to limit downside risk.
