THE METHODOLOGY
Know what each mark means.
TRADERUNISON supports your own trading process through a customizable plan, risk calculators and a journal. None requires a particular strategy. The screenshot structure module is optional; the rules below document that module only. Indicator strategies, fundamentals and order flow are not automatically analyzed.
Start with a readable chart
Use one standard candlestick pane per screenshot. Choose solid red bearish candles and green, teal or blue bullish candles. Keep bodies and wicks distinct. Hide overlapping drawings, crop out indicator panes where possible, and keep enough history for several complete swings.
Assign the timeframe
Choose a market and type any instrument symbol. Use Single chart to switch between 1M (monthly), 1W, 1D, 4H, 2H, 1H, 30m, 15m and 5m, or compare up to three periods of the same instrument. Timeframes are assigned by you; the screenshot's symbol and timeframe text are not automatically verified.
Understand the structure
HH and HL mark a confirmed higher high and higher low. LH and LL mark a lower high and lower low. Pivots use wick extremes and require three closed candles on each side. A confirmed BOS requires a body close beyond the structural level, with a pixel-noise margin. A wick alone does not confirm a break.
Read neutral correctly
Neutral means that current structure was not reliably validated. The latest candle is treated as unfinished. A new break may need more candles before a new pivot forms. Unreadable images are flagged separately and are not a neutral market signal.
Review zones and context
Supply and demand areas must fit inside the active range and have at least three separate, completed reactions. Consecutive touching candles count as one reaction. Optional amber wick-sweep markers show a wick crossing a pivot and closing back inside. Purple gaps show untouched three-candle imbalances inside the active range; they are not AOI zones or promises of a future fill.
Plan and review
Review the selected independent directions, then use your own prices and contract specifications in the position-size calculator. Log completed trades in R in the journal. The platform does not place trades, read your brokerage account or generate guaranteed outcomes.
Your charts stay with you.
The public preview processes screenshots in your browser. Saving a report stores up to 10 reports locally on this device. Watchlists, report notes and journal records also stay in this browser. The journal supports filtered statistics and JSON backup import. Report comparisons retain independent image scales. Clearing site data removes these records; use exports for backups. Results and storage are not synced across devices.
