Reads your chart.
Never calls the trade.
Coach Chad is an AI trading coach built into TradeWize. It does AI chart analysis on any instrument you can chart, grades the practice trades you close, and refuses — structurally, not just politely — to tell you which way to trade.
What is Coach Chad?
Coach Chad is an AI trading coach built into TradeWize: it does AI chart analysis on any instrument you can chart, and grades the practice trades you close. Most AI trading tools compete on conviction — they tell you what to buy and when. Chad is built the other way round. The curriculum teaches you to read price yourself, and Chad is the check on that read afterwards — it lays out the evidence, names the two prices that decide the structure, and tells you what undermines its own analysis. What to do about it is left to you, on purpose. That is the part you are here to learn, and it is the part that stops being learnable the moment something else does it for you.
It works on the practice simulator, where trades are placed with virtual coins. Nothing Coach Chad says touches a real brokerage account, because TradeWize does not have one.
What does Coach Chad do before a trade?
Open any chart and Coach Chad runs its AI chart analysis over it: it marks the chart up and lays out seven facts. Each is computed from the candles on your own device — the AI writes none of them, which is why it cannot invent one. Opening a briefing spends one AI token:
- 01 · Trend
- Whether price is making higher highs and higher lows, the reverse, or no clear structure at all.
- 02 · Resistance
- The swing highs sitting above the current price.
- 03 · Support
- The swing lows sitting below it.
- 04 · Momentum
- RSI, and whether the MACD histogram is positive or negative and which way it last crossed.
- 05 · Moving averages
- The 9, 20 and 50 EMAs, and the order they are stacked in.
- 06 · Volume
- The last bar measured against the chart's own average, as a multiple.
- 07 · Pattern
- The classical pattern on the chart, if a detector confirmed one — named, never interpreted.
Alongside them sits an agreement score — how many of six technical lenses corroborate the structure the chart is already in, and which pairs contradict each other. A list of indicators cannot tell you that, because each one only describes itself. Chad also draws the two prices that decide the structure: the level above and the level below whose breach would break it.
The metered AI layer then adds four things and nothing else: what conflicts on this chart, what closing through each level actually breaks, the catch that undermines the whole read, and the context beyond the chart. For equities that context includes the company's own reported figures — margins, growth, the ratios and their history — stated against their own past, never appraised. There is also a fourteen-day calendar of scheduled events: earnings, central-bank decisions, inflation and employment releases, framed as things that widen the range, never as predictions of what they will say.
What does Coach Chad do after a trade?
Close a practice trade and Coach Chad grades it — that is one of your reads. The letter grade and the leak tags — cutting a winner, chasing an entry, a reward that never justified the risk — are computed from the candles, not written by the AI. Underneath sits a per-lens breakdown, each finding tied to the exact curriculum stage that teaches it, and tapping a finding isolates it on the chart so you can see the thing being described. A separate strip shows what was in play while you held: the scheduled events, the unusual moves, the levels that broke.
A profitable trade can still grade badly, and that is the point. Being right and being paid for being right are different skills, and only the grade can tell them apart.
Every analysis is saved to a library, where it grades itself against what price did next and draws the continuation on the frozen chart.
What will Coach Chad not do?
This list is enforced in code, not by good intentions. Every AI response passes a banned-phrase scan on the server and again in the browser before anything renders. A response that trips it is discarded, and because the check runs before the allowance is charged, a rejected read costs you nothing.
What it does
- Read seven technical facts off live candles: trend, support, resistance, momentum, moving averages, volume and pattern
- Score how many of six technical lenses agree, and name the pairs that contradict each other
- Mark the two prices whose breach would break the structure, and draw them on the chart
- Grade a practice trade you have closed, and tag the habits behind it
- Tie every finding to the exact curriculum stage that teaches it
What it refuses to do
- Tell you to buy or sell anything, or to go long or short
- Give a price target, a forecast, or a probability that something will happen
- Call a chart bullish or bearish
- Call a company undervalued, overvalued, cheap or expensive
- Tell you what to do with real money, in a real account
The architecture backs the policy up. Deterministic maths computes every number first, and the AI is handed the finished packet with instructions to narrate it and reference nothing that is not in it. It is not being asked to behave — it is not given the material to misbehave with.
The real thing, running right here.
Below is the actual product — the same components the app renders, not a video and not a mockup. Switch between the pre-trade briefing and a post-trade review, and interact with either: change tabs, tap a fact to isolate it on the chart, tap a finding to see what it marks. The analysis is genuinely computed from real price data; only Chad's wording is pre-written, since this page has no account attached to it.

What the demo above reports
Every figure below is a reading of one frozen sample chart — 105 daily sessions of AAPL ending 30 March 2026, price $246.63 — not live market analysis, not a view on the stock, and not current. It is here to show what the tool outputs. Each number is computed from those candles rather than written by the AI:
- Trend —
- lower highs and lower lows over the window.
- Resistance —
- on that sample chart, overhead swing highs at $261.82 and $275.43.
- Support —
- on that sample chart, swing lows below price at $246.00 and $243.42.
- Momentum —
- RSI 36, MACD histogram negative, last cross down.
- Moving averages —
- 9 EMA $250.77, 20 EMA $254.16, 50 EMA $259.51, stacked 50 over 20 over 9.
- Volume —
- the last bar traded at 0.84× the chart's own average.
- Pattern —
- a double top is on the chart.
- Agreement —
- 4 of 5 lenses corroborate the structure; volume is the one that dissents.
- Decision levels —
- a close above $250.77 ends the moving-average stack; a close below $246.00 breaks the range.
The trade review demo grades a sample round-trip on that same frozen chart: entered at $246.63, exited at $270.17 for a profit of 235 virtual coins — and still graded C, tagged cutting a winner and poor risk-to-reward, because the exit captured 33% of a move that ran to $316.94 while the structure was still intact. A profitable trade can still grade badly; that is the point of grading it.

Coach Chad FAQ
- Q01
Does Coach Chad tell you what to buy or sell?
No. Coach Chad, the AI trading coach inside TradeWize, never gives a direction, a call, or a recommendation. It describes what is on the chart — trend structure, support, resistance, momentum, moving averages, volume and any confirmed pattern — and names the two prices whose breach would invalidate that structure. What to do about it is left to the learner, on purpose, because that judgement is the thing the curriculum exists to build and the thing that stops being learnable the moment something else does it for you. Two mechanisms make the refusal structural rather than a matter of tone. Deterministic maths computes every level, ratio and grade from the candle data first, and the AI is handed the finished packet and asked only to narrate it. Every AI response is then scanned for directional language — buy, sell, long, short, bullish, bearish, target, should — and a response containing any of it is discarded rather than shown.
- Q02
Does TradeWize give trading signals or stock picks?
No. TradeWize does not provide trading signals, stock picks, alerts, or copy-trading of any kind, at any tier, and none of it is sold as an add-on. TradeWize is an educational platform: a 20-stage free investing curriculum, 41 advanced trading stages on Premium, over a hundred mini-games, and a simulator where every position is opened with virtual coins rather than real money. Coach Chad, the AI trading coach built into it, is an educational analysis tool that deliberately withholds the one thing a signal service exists to provide. It will read a chart's structure and grade a practice trade you have already closed, but it never tells you what to buy or sell, never gives a price target, and never predicts. TradeWize is also not a broker: it holds no client money and executes no real trades.
- Q03
Can the AI invent a price or make up a number?
No, by construction. In Coach Chad every level, ratio, grade and chart overlay is computed by deterministic maths from the chart's own candle data, on your device, before the AI is involved at all. The model is then handed that finished packet and asked only to narrate it, under instructions to reference no number that is not already in the packet. It has no mechanism for producing a figure of its own, because it is never asked to produce one. Dollar figures such as market capitalisation and revenue are never sent to the model in the first place, so there is nothing there to misquote either. That is the difference between asking a language model to read a chart and asking it to describe a reading already done. Every response is also scanned for directional language before it renders, and discarded if it trips the check.
- Q04
How is this different from asking ChatGPT to read a chart?
A general chatbot does AI chart analysis by looking at a picture of a chart and describing what it appears to see, which is where hallucinated levels come from — it can state a support price that is not on the chart at all, in fluent and entirely confident prose. Coach Chad never does that. Deterministic maths computes every level, ratio and grade from the underlying candle data first, and the model is handed that finished packet and asked only to narrate it, referencing nothing outside it. It has no mechanism for inventing a number because it is never asked to produce one. Coach Chad is also held to a rule no general chatbot is: it will not tell you which way to trade, and every response is scanned for directional language before it renders. Each finding is then tied to the curriculum stage that teaches it, so a read doubles as a lesson.
- Q05
Is Coach Chad financial advice?
No. Coach Chad is educational analysis of a chart, or of a practice trade already closed in a simulator using virtual coins. It is not personalized financial advice, not a recommendation, and not a forecast. Coach Chad does not know your income, your tax residency, your time horizon or your goals, and nothing it produces is tailored to them — it describes what is measurable on the chart in front of you and stops there. It never tells you what to buy or sell, never gives a price target, and never calls a company undervalued or cheap. TradeWize is not a broker, holds no client funds and executes no real trades, so nothing Coach Chad says touches a real account. Before acting with real money, do your own research or speak to a licensed adviser in your own country, where the rules and the tax treatment differ.
- Q06
How many Coach Chad reads do you get?
Coach Chad runs on AI tokens: one token buys one complete analysis. Free accounts get 1 AI token per rolling seven days; Premium accounts get 5 per rolling 24 hours. An analysis is either a pre-trade chart briefing or a post-trade trade review, and both cost one token. Opening a briefing spends it, because opening it is what asks Chad to read the chart — there is no free browsing tier. One token buys the whole analysis rather than a part of it: the marked-up chart, all seven fact cards, the agreement score, both decision levels, the company tab for equities and the fourteen-day events calendar, together with Chad's written read of them. Two things cost nothing. A review of your first ever closed practice trade is always free, and re-opening an analysis you have already run is served from cache. A response rejected by the compliance scan also costs nothing.
- Q07
What does Coach Chad do without using the AI at all?
Almost all of the numbers. In Coach Chad the seven fact cards, the agreement score, the two decision levels, every chart overlay, the letter grade on a closed practice trade and its leak tags are all computed deterministically from the candle data on your own device — the AI writes none of them. What the AI adds is the narration on top: what conflicts on the chart, what each decision level breaks, the catch that undermines the read, and the context beyond the chart itself. That split is the reason Chad cannot invent a price, and the reason a level it quotes is always a level the engine actually found. It does not make the analysis free, though — one analysis costs one AI token either way, because the written read is the metered part. Every analysis is then saved to a library and later scored against what price did next.
- Q08
What is the agreement score?
The agreement score is a count of how many technical lenses corroborate the structure a chart is already in, out of the lenses that have any signal at all. Six lenses vote inside Coach Chad: market structure, moving averages, RSI, MACD, volume and pattern. Where two of them contradict each other, the pair is named rather than averaged away, because the disagreement is usually the more useful half of the picture. It is a measure of how coherent a chart is with itself, not a measure of which way it is going, and a high score is not a reason to act — a chart can agree with itself right up to the moment it stops. A list of indicators cannot tell you this, because each indicator only ever describes itself. Like every other figure in an analysis, the score is computed from the candles, not written by the AI.
- Q09
Which markets does Coach Chad work on?
Any instrument charted in the TradeWize simulator: stocks, ETFs, crypto, forex, futures and options positions. The free tier's simulator covers stocks and ETFs, and Premium extends it to the other asset classes, so which markets Coach Chad can read follows whichever tier you are on. The analysis itself is identical either way — the same seven fact cards, the same agreement score, the same two decision levels, and the same refusal to tell you what to buy or sell — because it is all computed from candles, and candles are candles whatever is printing them. The company tab, which shows a business's own reported financials stated against their own past, appears for equities only, since there is no company behind a currency pair. Market data is 15-minute delayed on free accounts and real-time on Premium, which is the other difference worth knowing.
TradeWize is educational and simulation-only. It is not a brokerage, does not execute real trades, and does not provide investment, legal or tax advice. See the FAQ and Terms.
