What it does

How Chart Reader works

Stack ten indicators on your candles and all you get is noise. Chart Reader reads them all in the background and shows you the answer in plain words, so you learn what the chart is saying while you look at it. Trade from it alone, or run it next to any CATS dashboard. Stronger together.

  1. Quick Read

    One sentence on what's happening: the trend, the last structure break, and whether the bigger chart agrees. Then what to watch next, and the price where the read breaks.

    Quick Read: the trend in one line, what to watch next, and where the read breaks.

  2. Candles and chart patterns

    The live candle, the last closed candle, candle patterns, and chart patterns like head and shoulders, double tops and flags, each with its target and the price that cancels it.

    Candles and patterns: an engulfing that worked, a blowoff top warning, and an Inverse Head & Shoulders that reached its target.

  3. The scoreboard

    Six groups, each with a light: Trend, Structure, Momentum, Volume, Volatility and Levels. That covers moving averages, the Ichimoku cloud, RSI, MACD, VWAP, Bollinger squeeze, Fibonacci, gamma levels, gaps and more.

    The scoreboard: six groups, each with its lights and a one-line coach lesson.

    🟢 bullish, 🔴 bearish, 🟡 neutral or stretched, ⚪ nothing to report. Quiet indicators fold away so only what matters stays on screen.

Why traders like it

Calm on the board, whatever the ocean does.

It teaches chart reading.

Every light comes with a plain-words read, and the Coach adds a one-line lesson for each group. Simple enough for a teenager learning the ropes, deep enough for a pro.

Your chart stays clean.

The analysis lives in the panel, not in a tangle of lines over your candles.

It plays well with others.

Chart Reader shows the nuts and bolts while Session Coach, Futures Scalper or Trend Rider Swing call the trade.
