Tradion Lens

Tradion Lens opens a live chart of a US stock or ETF inside Tradion. Beside the chart you get three things: a live analyst that writes a short comment every time a candle closes, a chat you can ask about the stock, and snapshots, a full written read of the chart with targets and levels. The screen has three columns: the chat on the left, the chart in the middle with the AI stream (the live analyst’s comments) under it, and your snapshots on the right. In a narrow window, the chat and snapshots move behind Chat and Snapshots buttons that open over the chart.

​

Start a session

A session is one ticker with its own chat, snapshots and AI stream. You can have several on the same ticker. The Lens page lists your sessions, most recent first, with a Live analyst on badge where it’s running. With more than three, a search box finds them by ticker. Deleting a session (the trash icon) removes its chat, snapshots and AI stream for good, and stops the live analyst if it was running there. You can’t delete a session while one of its snapshots is still being analyzed.

​

The chart

The chart is Tradion’s own and updates live. Prices come from Alpaca’s consolidated feed (SIP, the stream that combines trades from every US exchange), and all times are in US Eastern time (ET).

• Candles and volume. Pre-market and after-hours candles are drawn faded.
• VWAP, the volume-weighted average price: the average price paid today, weighted by how much traded at each price. It’s the solid line, drawn for today’s regular session only.
• Key levels, the dashed lines: the previous day’s high, low and close, today’s pre-market high and low, and the high and low of the first 5 and 15 minutes of the session.
• Dots mark the live analyst’s events: a level break, a volume spike, a halt, trading resuming, or news.
• Candle patterns. Hover an older candle and, if it completes one of 25 standard candlestick patterns, the legend names it with its traditional reading.

The ⓘ button in the chart’s top-left corner, What’s on this chart, explains each of these.

​

The live analyst

Turn on the Live analyst switch in the chart toolbar and it writes a short comment each time a candle closes, plus a note when something happens between closes: a key level breaks, volume spikes, trading halts, or news lands. The comments collect in the AI stream under the chart. It runs from 4:00 AM to 8:00 PM ET on trading days and is counted in minutes, only while it’s actually running. The live analyst page covers what it comments on, when it runs, and exactly how live time is counted.

​

In plain English

The live analyst is a running commentary: it tells you, in words, what the chart did a moment ago. A snapshot is a full read you ask for, with a verdict, targets and a trade setup. The chat is for your own questions. Only the live analyst’s minutes and your snapshots count against your plan.

​

The chat

The chat on the left answers questions about the session’s stock, like How is NVDA trading today? or When does NVDA report earnings next? Each answer can use:

• the chart itself, and today’s live analyst comments since your last question;
• the snapshot you have open, if any;
• live data: news, the earnings calendar and estimates, earnings call transcripts, SEC filings, options chains, insider trades and economic data;
• with personalization on, your positions, your trade history and your Tradion Memory.

Each session keeps one chat thread across days. Clear chat deletes it for good. When a thread gets very long, Tradion summarizes the earlier part so the conversation can continue, and marks the spot with Earlier conversation summarized. The chat isn’t counted against a monthly allowance. To stop runaway use there is an hourly limit, a daily limit, and a fair-use limit per billing period. If you reach one, the chat tells you which and when you can ask again.

​

Snapshots

A snapshot is a full written read of the chart at one moment. Click Take snapshot at the top of the right-hand panel. The card shows Analyzing the chart… while it works and opens the report when it’s done. A snapshot saves itself, so it’s kept even if you close the page while it runs. You can take one at a time. Each snapshot uses one of your monthly snapshots. The report runs in this order:

1. Verdict: BULLISH, BEARISH or NEUTRAL, with a Probability percentage. Probability is how strong the read is, not the odds of a profit; Reading a verdict explains what it does and doesn’t tell you.
2. Summary: the read in one paragraph.
3. Price Forecast: a bull, base and bear target, each marked as a model estimate.
4. Trade Setup: entry, stop and target, and R:R (risk to reward, how much the target would make for each unit the stop would lose). Shown only when there is a valid setup; a NEUTRAL read has none.
5. Critical Levels: a pivot point (the previous period’s high, low and close averaged), R1 Resistance above and S1 Support below, chosen from levels such as the moving averages, Fibonacci levels and Bollinger Bands, each with a model’s estimate of the chance price breaks through it, and ATR (Average True Range), how far the stock typically moves in one period.
6. Signals & Anomalies: five observations, covering volume and on-balance volume (a running total that adds volume on up days and subtracts it on down days), the 50- and 200-day moving averages (the average closing price over the last 50 and 200 days), Fibonacci levels (fractions of a past move where a pullback often stalls) and Bollinger Bands (a channel around a moving average showing how stretched price is), how the stock is doing against the S&P 500 (SPY), and, with personalization on, a note about you.
7. Upcoming Events: scheduled dates such as earnings, dividends, splits and economic releases.

Before the model writes anything, Tradion pulls real price history from Alpaca and computes the indicators in code, so the moving averages and levels in a snapshot are calculated, not read off the picture. The indicators use daily bars, whatever timeframe the chart is on. If a data source is down, the report says so. Market data was unavailable, so this analysis is based on the chart image only means the indicator values may be estimates, so weigh that snapshot less. See Data sources for who supplies what. An older snapshot says which chart and time it was taken from, because the live chart has moved since.

​

If something goes wrong

• Retry appears on a snapshot that failed. A failed snapshot gives its count back, and a retry never charges twice.
• Not saved means the analysis finished but couldn’t be stored. Retry saving stores it without a new charge. The analysis is held for a day.
• Deleting a snapshot removes it for good and doesn’t give the count back.

​

Personalization

With personalization on, the live analyst, the chat and the snapshot’s last signal use what Tradion knows about your trading. The chat also adds to your Tradion Memory: once a thread has been quiet for 10 minutes, it saves up to three short notes from it. Turn personalization off in Settings and Lens works from market data only: the chat can’t see your positions or trades, nothing is learned, and the live analyst starts a fresh thread without your context. Resetting your Memory also starts the live analyst on a fresh thread.

​

What Lens doesn’t do

• US stocks and ETFs only. No crypto, forex or options charts. You can still ask the chat about a stock’s options chain.
• Only Tradion’s chart. Lens doesn’t read your other tabs, a trading platform, or an uploaded image.
• No phones. Lens needs a desktop browser.
