## What is CardChart?

CardChart is trading intelligence for the Pokémon card market. Most apps tell you what a card is worth. CardChart shows you where the price is going — technical analysis and statistical indicators applied to real Pokémon card sales from eBay and TCGPlayer. Candlesticks, moving averages, RSI, MACD, Fibonacci and buy/sell signals on live market prices. No other card app comes close.

THE ONLY APP WITH REAL TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
See where a card's price has been — and where it might be headed:
  • Candlestick & line charts with real daily highs, lows and volume — with a volume moving average
  • RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, MA20/50/100
  • Fibonacci retracement & extension — automatic or tap-to-anchor
  • VWAP, TWAP, Kalman Filter and a volatility "squeeze" detector
  • Buy/Sell signals that flag blow-off tops and capitulation bottoms — each with plain-English reasons

LEARN AS YOU GO
New to charts? CardChart Learn explains every indicator — RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Fibonacci, VWAP and more — in plain English, with clear examples and guidance on when technical analysis works and when it doesn't. No trading background required.

KNOW WHAT YOUR COLLECTION IS WORTH
  • Live portfolio value, cost basis and unrealized profit & loss
  • Realized P&L — log every sale, track win rate and your best flips
  • Your portfolio's value charted over time

PREDICT & COMPARE
  • Price forecasts built from real history — with a simulation graph showing the full range of likely outcomes
  • PSA grading premiums — see what a grade is worth and hunt pricing discrepancies
  • Compare grades side by side

SCAN, TRACK & COMPLETE
  • Scan a card with your camera to identify it instantly
  • Watchlist with raw, PSA 9 and PSA 10 prices at a glance
  • Live eBay listings for the exact card and grade

Built for Pokémon, powered by live eBay data and real price history.

The core charts — candlesticks, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, moving averages, volume and the card centering tool — are always free.

### 5/5 — Surprisingly useful

*2026-06-28*

Given how crazy this Pokemon card market is, it can be overwhelming deciding where to put your money. Like many people in the hobby I mainly use Collectr which is useful for sorting your PC, but can often be inaccurate as prices take time to catch up to real market value. 

This is the first app I’ve found that uses actual technical analysis in real time to figure out when to buy cards on your watchlist or sell cards in your collection. If you go to card shows often like me, you will find the watchlist feature very useful. The price charts include a “buy/sell” signal indicator that makes reading the chart easy to understand for a casual investor like me. 

The UI is also easy to understand and the TA tutorial is much appreciated since I didn’t understand a lot of the terminology. The centering tool is also a nice addition. If I had any complaints, I wish you could compile your wishlist by priority buys (I.e. cards that have the most buy indicators or are undervalued) and whether or not a card is worth buying raw to grade. With PSA price increases and long turnaround times I feel that it would be useful to know which cards on my watchlist are worth grading so I know to look out for mint copies at shows. Give this app a try, you will be surprised how useful it can be.

### 5/5 — Cool app

*2026-06-27*

I like that you can see the price changes before you buy a card. The centering feature is cool and the shopping list is helpful to keep track of purchases during card shows!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-06-27*

I leveraged my 401k on these Pokémon cards and now I’m a billionaire. Thank you David!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.2 — 2026-08-31

Version 1.2.2 — sharper charts, a card-centering level, a richer watchlist, and a faster, more reliable app.

CARD CENTERING — NOW WITH A LEVEL
Centering is only as good as the photo. The tool now opens a live camera with an on-screen
level: hold your phone flat and square over the card and it turns green when you're lined up,
so a tilted shot no longer makes one border look fatter than it really is.

A RICHER WATCHLIST
Every watchlist card now shows quick read-at-a-glance stats — its 20-day average price (MA20),
a Fragility "trust meter," and how many copies sell per day. Sort the whole list by any of them
to see what's moving, what's overheating, and what's liquid.

CLEANER CHARTS
A single freak sale no longer squashes the whole chart — the price axis fits the real action
even when one bad print is way off (the data point stays, the chart just scales properly). The
Kalman smoothing line is now dotted so it's easy to tell from the price, price labels are tidier,
and the app text no longer randomly resizes.

LEARN AS YOU GO
The first time you turn on an indicator, a quick tip explains what it does in plain language.
Tap anywhere to dismiss it.

VOLUME SPIKE FLAG
Hot cards and the chart flag an unusual jump in real sales volume, so you can tell a genuine
move from a single fluke sale.

BETTER CARD SCANNING
The scanner takes a sharper photo and reads the collector number far more reliably. You can now
see and edit the detected number before it searches — and a scan that can't find a match now
hands off to a search that actually works.

SMARTER FORECAST & SIGNALS
The 30-day forecast follows the exact grade you're viewing. The Fragility trust meter no longer
false-flags a liquid, high-volume move, and the Buy/Sell signal tuning is more dependable.

FIXES & PERFORMANCE
- Card search no longer shows a false "no cards found" right after you open the app.
- Price history loads faster and more reliably (fewer "card not found" hiccups).
- General performance and stability improvements.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-07-26

What's New in This Version — CardChart 1.2.1

NEW: Ultra-Modern and Modern card indices — chase card tracking alongside your Watchlist. Tap any index for a price chart (1W / 1M / 3M) and drag across it to read the value on any day.

NEW: Hot Signals on the search screen. CardChart parses your portfolio and automatically pulls cards that have recently fired buy/sell signals.

NEW: Compare different grades, grading companies, and card conditions on one card. Track price movements and identify divergence opportunities. 

Sharper Buy/Sell signals — retuned and backtested on real sold-price data.

Card centering is now free.

An improved 30-day forecast — it now reflects each card's own volatility and reverts toward a data-fitted fair value.

Cleaner home feed, plus a fix to the Compare "Connection" read on thin data.

### 1.2 — 2026-07-08

Version 1.2 — your collection, charted like the market.

NEW — MASTER SET TRACKER
Pick any set and tap the cards you own, with a live completion bar and progress that syncs across your devices. Swipe across a row to check off cards fast. 200+ sets, including the new Mega Evolution era.

SMARTER BUY / SELL SIGNALS
The signal engine was rebuilt on thousands of real card price histories so it stops firing at the wrong moments. A strong SELL now waits for a move to genuinely exhaust, and BUY looks for real capitulation instead of chasing strength. 

SEE 1,000 POSSIBLE FUTURES
Tap a card's forecast to open a simulation graph — a Monte-Carlo fan chart showing where its price could realistically land over the next 30 days, with 50% and 80% ranges.

SHARPER SEARCH
- Promos are findable — black-star and unnumbered promos are no longer hidden
- Alt arts surface by name ("Rayquaza VMAX alt art")
- Off by a number? Type 51 for a card that's actually 53 and the closest cards rank first

CHARTS
- Volume now has its own 20-day moving average, so real shifts in trading activity stand out
- Smoother drag-to-trace across the volume pane

MORE
A more honest 30-day forecast, portfolio search and A–Z sort, grade badges on your gallery, faster price refreshes, and a lot of polish.

### 1.1 — 2026-06-28

Version 1.1 — a big update focused on search, speed, and smarter charts.
  
  SEARCH, REBUILT
  • Promos that were hidden now show up — ETB, UPC and black-star promos are more searchable
  • Forgiving spelling — "ns zekrom" finds "N's Zekrom"; accents and extra
  spaces matter less
  • Rarity shorthand — type "sir" to jump to the Special Illustration Rare
  • Sharper number search, more results, and no more duplicate listings
  
  FASTER
  • Portfolio and watchlist load noticeably quicker and stay in sync

  SMARTER CHARTS
  • Buy/Sell signals now catch blow-off tops and capitulation bottoms — with
  early take-profit and oversold warnings
  • Anchored Fibonacci — tap two points to lock the levels to your own swing
  high and low
  • Squeeze indicator is much easier to see on light backgrounds

  MORE POLISH
  • Tap a card's photo to view it full-screen and confirm the right card
  • Portfolio values now match the chart's latest price, median filter still in place
  • Cleaner eBay listings, plus more grades in scanning (CGC, BGS, PSA 7, Raw HP)
