Every AI chart tool says it "analyzes any chart". Most of them mean the model looks at your image and guesses. Tickrify does something narrower and more checkable: it reads the instrument and timeframe off your screenshot, then goes and fetches the real candles for that instrument before saying anything about price.
That only works where a real feed exists. On this page we tell you exactly where it does and where it does not, because a tool that quietly guesses on the instruments it cannot verify is worse than one that admits the gap.
What's in here
"Live candles" below means the same thing every time: the backend pulls up to 120 recent candles on your chart's timeframe, computes ATR14, swing highs and lows, RSI(14) Wilder, and an event map of the last impulse leg, recent structure breaks and failed breakouts. Those numbers go into the prompt as text. The model reads arithmetic instead of pixels.
Two of those measures depend on volume, which not every market has. On crypto, where volume is real and centralized, the analysis also gets volume against its 20-period average and a volume-by-price map with the point of control and value area. On spot forex and metals there is no centralized volume, so those two blocks are left out entirely rather than estimated. That is a deliberate choice in the code, not an oversight: an invented point of control is worse than no point of control.
| What you upload | Live candles | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Crypto quoted in USDT, USDC or USD. 40 bases including BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, ADA, DOGE, AVAX, LINK, DOT, LTC, TRX, ATOM, UNI, APT, ARB, OP, SUI, PEPE, NEAR, INJ, TIA, TON, HBAR, AAVE, RUNE | Yes | OKX first, Binance as fallback |
| Gold and silver: XAUUSD, XAGUSD | Yes | Twelve Data |
| Forex pairs built from USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, NZD, CAD, CHF | Yes | Twelve Data. No volume: spot forex has none, so those blocks are omitted |
| Index CFDs: NAS100, US100, US30, SPX500, DAX, FTSE, JP225, IBOV | No | Deep analysis still adds a risk-regime read. Price levels come from your screenshot |
| Single stocks and ETFs: NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, SPY, QQQ | No | The model reads your screenshot and nothing else |
If your instrument is in the bottom two rows, Tickrify still returns a structured read: bias, structure, invalidation, scenarios. What it does not do is pretend it verified a price. That is a real difference in confidence, and you should weigh it.
There is nothing to install. Tickrify never touches your broker, your account or your orders. It reads an image, so any platform that can produce a screenshot works: TradingView, MetaTrader 4 and 5, cTrader, Thinkorswim, exchange web interfaces, and the mobile apps for all of them.
The most common setup. How to frame a screenshot the model can read, and what happens after you drop it in.
Broker symbol suffixes, why our reference feed can differ from your broker's by a few pips, and why there is no Expert Advisor.
Majors and crosses with real candles, distances sized in ATR instead of pips, and no invented volume profile.
The best-covered class we have. Live candles on any of 40 bases, 24 hours a day, weekends included.
Why gold gets its own page: the dollar leg is written into the model's instructions, and the ATR is large enough that stop placement decides the trade.
Screenshots go stale. People save a chart, come back two days later and upload it. If Tickrify blindly injected "the current price is X" next to a chart drawn at a different price, the model would build an entry, a stop and a target around numbers that contradict the image, and the output would look confident and be wrong.
So before injecting anything, the backend compares the last visible close it read off your chart against the live close. If those two are more than three ATRs apart, the live data is withheld and the model is told in plain language that it is looking at a historical chart, that every level must come from the image, and that it must say so in the output. You get a slightly weaker analysis instead of a confidently wrong one.
No. Nothing connects. You upload an image, and the only outbound calls the backend makes are to public market data feeds for the instrument it read off your chart.
It falls back to reading the screenshot alone and returns a structured read without live candles. It does not invent a price.
Anything with a readable price axis and a legible timeframe label. If the timeframe cannot be read, the candle block is skipped on purpose, because statistics computed on the wrong interval hurt more than they help.
No. It is a second opinion on a setup you already have. It confirms your read or kills it, and the decision stays yours. If you want somebody to tell you what to buy, this is the wrong product.
