About

Trazo

Features
Read full description

Upload your chart. The AI draws the levels. Trazo reads a screenshot of any chart (TradingView, your exchange, your broker…) and draws on your own image the entry zone, the stop and the target, plus the support and resistance it finds. In seconds, explained in your language. YOUR CHART, DRAWN • A clear signal: buy, sell or wait, with the AI's confidence. • Entry, stop and target with prices read from your chart's axis. • Risk : reward of every idea and what would invalidate it. • If the axis can't be read, it tells you: it never makes prices up. MULTIPLE TIMEFRAMES Add up to 3 screenshots of the same asset (1h, 4h, daily) and get one combined reading. DID IT WORK? YOUR JOURNAL KNOWS Every analysis goes into your journal. Crypto ideas are checked against real prices automatically; for the rest you mark whether it hit the target or the stop. So you know your real win rate. RISK CALCULATOR Account size, risk %, entry and stop: Trazo tells you how much to buy so you never lose more than you choose. LEARN TO READ CHARTS One pattern a day in one minute (flags, triangles, head and shoulders, candlesticks…) with a drawing, a question and your streak. AI COACH Ask about any chart, about risk management or about keeping your emotions in check. It adapts to you: your level and style (scalping, day trading, swing or position) shape the explanations and how far the levels are. A share card for Telegram, Discord or X. 11 languages. TRAZO PRO Free: your first analysis (with the levels hidden), the risk calculator and the pattern of the day. Pro: exact levels, unlimited analyses, multiple timeframes, automatic journal and the coach. Weekly (with 3 days free), monthly or yearly. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period, from your account settings. Trazo is an educational tool. Its analyses are made by AI from an image, can be wrong and are not financial advice or an investment recommendation. Trading involves the risk of losing money.
