The live analyst

The live analyst watches the chart in a Tradion Lens session with you. Turn on the Live analyst switch in the chart toolbar. From then on it writes a comment each time a candle closes on your timeframe (the period each candle covers, from 1 minute to 1 day), and it also speaks up between closes when something happens:

• price breaks one of the day’s key levels, the dashed lines on the chart such as yesterday’s high and close (or a break is withdrawn);
• a volume spike, meaning a minute that trades at least 3 times its usual volume for that time of day;
• a trading halt, or trading resuming;
• news on the ticker;
• a candle that the market data provider, Alpaca, corrects after the fact.

If it falls behind by more than three candles, it writes one comment covering the whole gap rather than one per candle. Pick how it writes with the style buttons next to the switch:

​

The AI stream

The comments appear in the AI stream under the chart. Click a comment and the chart marks the candle it is about, scrolling to it if it’s out of view. Comments are kept for 30 days; Load earlier comments reaches back through them. The stream also posts short notices when something gets in the way, for example: Market data is down, so the analyst is waiting. It will cover what happened once data is back.

​

When it runs

The live analyst runs from 4:00 AM to 8:00 PM ET on trading days, which covers pre-market, the regular session and after hours. On early-close days the window ends earlier (5:00 PM ET when the market closes at 1:00 PM). Outside the window the switch won’t turn on, but the chart, chat and snapshots work any time. When the window ends, the last candle gets its comment within about two minutes, and then the analyst pauses with Paused: the market session is over.

​

One live analyst at a time

You have one live analyst, and it runs in one session in one browser tab. Open another session or tab and the toolbar says Live analyst is running in another session or tab, with a Bring it here link that moves it. Change the timeframe and the analyst follows the chart.

​

How live time is counted

Live time is counted in whole minutes. The first minute is charged when the analyst starts, and each later minute as it begins. Stopping partway through a minute doesn’t give that minute back. The clock only runs while all of these are true:

• the switch is on and the analyst isn’t paused;
• the tab is visible on your screen;
• market data is flowing;
• it is inside the 4:00 AM to 8:00 PM ET window.

Next to the switch, the toolbar shows what is happening: The clock stops the moment the tab is hidden; the pause label follows 30 seconds later. After 15 minutes paused, the live analyst ends, and you turn it on again when you want it. Monthly minutes are used first, then any hours you bought. Monthly minutes reset to your plan’s amount on your billing date and don’t roll over.

​

When your minutes run out

The analyst pauses with Paused: no live minutes left and an upgrade prompt opens. From there you can:

• Add 5 hours for $10. Bought hours never expire, are used after your plan’s monthly minutes, and stay on your account through renewals, plan changes and cancellation. They’re for paying subscribers, so not during the free trial. You can also buy them any time from Settings → Monthly Usage.
• Upgrade to Pro for 40 hours a month.
• Wait for your monthly minutes to reset.

​

In plain English

Think of it as a commentator, not an advisor: it says what happened on the chart a moment ago and why it might matter, and leaves the decision to you. You pay for its time only while it can actually watch, so a hidden tab, ten idle minutes or a data outage doesn’t use up your hours.
