Optimal Market Assessment




Your on-screen trading mentor

Optimal Market Assessment

Imagine having an on-screen trading-mentor that advises you about the live market.


Optimal Market Assessment evaluates the current trading environment to determine if whether it is Favorable for discretionary traders (smoother trends, slower movement, levels respected) or Hostile (choppy, unpredictable, dominated by HFTs).


Based on this diagnosis, the on-screen meter suggests your strategic posture:


  • Aggressive entries when conditions align
  • Conservative entries when the market turns dangerous.


Adapt your trading strategy in real time: switch between aggressive and conservative modes as the market changes.

 02 Optimal Snap Bars -renko bars that lock to a fixed grid

Standard Renko charts misalign between sessions making it impossible to exactly compare support and resistance across different trading sessions. Optimal Snap Bars solves this by generating renko bars that auto-snap to a fixed grid ensuirng optimal alignment from day to day.


This creates a perfectly-clear visual structure where you can instantly compare support and resistance levels, identify repeating patterns, and measure price action with precision.

 03 Optimal Trendlines -trendlines that flex with the market

Still drawing static trendlines? We have a better way.


Optimal Trendlines dynamically adjusts its slope, position and width within a live trend based on trend-strength.  This gives you tighter, more aggressive entry-points in strong moves and wider, more conservative levels when the market is softer.


And when a trendline breaks, trend-end markers flag exhaustion and convert into actionable support and resistance levels.
