When to Use Manual Monitor
The manual trade monitor fits into several common trading workflows. Understanding when to use it versus the AI chart analysis helps you get the most value from both features.
You Found a Setup Yourself
You spotted a beautiful head and shoulders pattern on the 4H BTC chart, identified your entry at the neckline break, and placed your stop-loss above the right shoulder. Your analysis is solid, but you cannot watch the trade for the next 48 hours. Enter your levels in the manual monitor and let the AI keep watch. You get Telegram alerts if anything changes.
Using Another Signal Source
You follow a trader on social media who calls entries, or you subscribe to a signal group that provides trade setups. Instead of blindly trusting those signals, input the levels into ChartsTrack's manual monitor and get an AI second opinion. The monitoring AI will objectively assess whether the setup is working as intended and alert you if conditions deteriorate.
Want an AI Second Opinion
Sometimes you have a trade idea but are not fully confident. Enter it as a manual monitor and see what the AI thinks. The confidence score and detailed analysis will either validate your thesis or highlight concerns you may have missed. This is particularly useful for learning — comparing your analysis with the AI's assessment teaches you to see things you might otherwise overlook.
Testing a Strategy
If you are developing or testing a new trading strategy, the manual monitor gives you a structured way to track results. Every trade is saved to your history with full statistics including P&L, duration, entry/exit details, and whether each TP was hit. Over time, you build a comprehensive journal of your strategy's performance that helps you identify strengths and weaknesses. Understanding risk management fundamentals becomes much easier when you have concrete data from your own trades.
