Autochartist

The powerful Autochartist pattern recognition tool monitors the markets on your behalf, alerting you to potential dealing opportunities.

Available free of charge within our trading platform, Autochartist releases you from the complex and time-consuming process of scrutinising and analysing charts. It will scan your selections from our index, forex, shares, energies and metals markets, identifying chart patterns and Fibonacci patterns such as triangles, wedges, projections and retracements throughout the trading day.

You receive an audio or visual alert within minutes of chart patterns forming, enabling you to react swiftly and with the benefit of objective information to guide your decisions.

Pattern recognition with Autochartist

Chart pattern recognition theory has been widely used since the 1930s, and is regarded by many traders as a benchmark to gauge oversold or overbought levels in terms of market psychology.

Delivering over 3500 trading signals per month, Autochartist enables you to benefit from chart pattern recognition without the years of study traditionally required to interpret chart patterns.

Autochartist's automated pattern recognition technology removes the subjectivity from pattern analysis and helps eliminate guesswork. Once chart patterns become complete, breakout strength or weakness indicators and projected forecast regions help you determine whether to take the entry trigger, and where to place
profit targets.

Flexible features for all your needs

Autochartist combines a straightforward, intuitive web interface with a powerful range of sophisticated functions to satisfy the most demanding experienced users.

This means that even if you are new to pattern recognition you can quickly get started using the default settings, which are designed to suit most users. You can then define your own custom search criteria, filtering for the type and quality of chart patterns relevant to your personal dealing style and preferences.

Autochartist will grow and develop with you as you gain experience. As well as being a potent dealing opportunity finder, it can act as a training tool to help you learn and apply pattern recognition skills. By strengthening your knowledge base, Autochartist helps you gauge and capitalise on market movements
more effectively.
