In plain English
Four stages, in the order a trade passes through them. You research an idea, you take a position, you automate the watching so you are not tied to a screen, and once the trade closes you autopsy it. What that last stage produces is fed back into the first, so the tools get more specific to you the longer you use them. You can enter the loop at any stage. The autopsy stage is the one that makes the others different from a standard chart tool, because it is where Tradion learns anything about you.Station 1 — Research
You start with a question or a chart. Four tools answer it, and which one you reach for depends only on what you have in hand:
Support is a price the stock has repeatedly bounced off from below; resistance is one it has repeatedly stalled at from beneath. A stop is the price where you exit if the trade goes against you.
What a backtest can and cannot tell you
Ask the quant terminal to test a rule against past prices and you get a backtest — the same rule replayed over historical data, with the returns it would have produced. It tells you whether an idea has ever worked, how badly it went wrong at its worst, and how often it traded. It cannot tell you whether it will work next month. A backtest is fitted to prices that already happened, and the more variations you try, the more likely the best-looking one is a coincidence. A good backtest can still lose money in live trading.Station 2 — Position
Once a brokerage is connected, Portfolio shows what you hold:- An equity curve — a line chart of what the whole account has been worth over time.
- Day P&L and total P&L — profit and loss since this morning, and since you bought.
- Sector allocation — how your money splits across industries, so you can see if it is concentrated in one.
- A sparkline on each holding — a thumbnail price chart, small enough to sit inside a table row.
- Your biggest movers of the day.
Station 3 — Automate
Research doesn’t scale by staring harder. Automations let you describe a setup once and have Tradion watch for it: price levels, 92 technical readings (61 indicators such as RSI or a moving-average crossover, plus 31 candlestick patterns — shapes drawn by the bars themselves), volume, daily change, news, earnings proximity, unusual options activity, corporate actions, and insider filings — the disclosures company executives must file when they buy or sell their own stock. Combine up to 10 conditions with AND/OR logic, optionally hand the result to an AI research agent, then send the alert to Discord, email, Telegram, in-app, or your own webhook. Checks run every 60 seconds, around the clock — not only while the US market is open.Automations require the Trader plan or above.
Station 4 — Autopsy
The trade is closed, so the outcome is known. That makes it the only point in the loop where you can check your decision against a result instead of a forecast. Log the trade manually or let it import automatically from your broker, then run an autopsy. You get:- Root-cause analysis — what drove the result.
- A 0–100 scorecard across entry quality, exit discipline, and risk management.
- A blame breakdown — how much of the outcome came from your decisions and how much from the market moving, listed share by share.
- A counterfactual — the same trade replayed with one thing changed, such as the stop honoured or half the size, so you can see what your own stated rules would have returned.
The centre — Memory
Every station writes to Tradion Memory, and every station reads from it. A chart analysis in month three is not the analysis you would have got in week one, because by then Tradion knows you cut winners early on this ticker, that your win rate drops after 2pm, and that “high conviction” in your journal has gone with your worst outcomes.Where each screen lives
