Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about ChartMath.
What is ChartMath?
ChartMath scans the market in real time and alerts you when stocks match backtested technical setups. We run curated screens (ORB, VWAP, RVOL, breakouts, and more) with backtest data so you can trade with conviction. Three ways to discover: swipe what's hot, pick your strategy, or track your stocks.
Is this passive income?
No. Trading requires active decisions and carries risk. ChartMath is designed to make the process bounded enough to fit around a day job: research before a setup reaches you, a stop and position size before entry, and a review afterwards. A backtest describes the past, not the future, and we do not promise returns.
Is ChartMath financial advice?
No. ChartMath is an educational tool only. We explain why a setup met specific technical criteria and when alerts fired. We don't provide buy/sell recommendations or personalized investment advice. You make your own trading decisions.
How is ChartMath different from TradingView or Finviz?
They hand you the engine and make you do the research: write the scan, tune it, backtest it, and read it. ChartMath does that work for you and attaches the result to every candidate. Each screen is a deterministic rule with historical evidence and a sample size you can inspect before using your judgment. It is built mobile-first, and there is no Pine Script to learn.
What trading strategies does ChartMath support?
Curated screens covering popular day trading and swing trading setups: Opening Range Breakout (ORB) with 5m, 15m, and 30m variants; VWAP reclaims, rejections, and bounces; Relative Volume (RVOL) for volume spike detection; breakouts from resistance and consolidation; 52-week highs and lows for momentum and mean reversion; gap-up, gap-down, and gap-fill plays; and momentum indicators like RSI, MACD, and moving average crossovers.
What timeframes are available?
ChartMath screens run across 7 timeframes: 1-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, 1-hour, daily, weekly, and monthly. Day traders typically use 1m to 15m screens; swing traders use Daily and Weekly.
Do you cover crypto and US futures?
Yes. ChartMath covers 500+ US equities, 100 crypto pairs, and 11 US futures, all with seven timeframes from 1 minute to monthly.
Is the data real-time?
Yes. Our screens are evaluated continuously throughout the trading day. When a stock matches your criteria, you're notified immediately. Exact data latency depends on market data vendor constraints and is disclosed in-app.
Is ChartMath available on iOS? What about Android?
ChartMath is available on both iOS and Android. The app is built mobile-first with a swipe-based interface optimized for on-the-go trading decisions. There's also a web app at chartmath.com/screens.
What backtest data do you provide?
Every screen shows historical performance data: win rate, average gain/loss, expected value per trade, and drawdowns. This helps you build conviction before acting on a signal. All backtest data is for educational purposes only and past performance doesn't guarantee future results.
What's the pricing?
Free. No credit card required. Every screen, every backtest, and every alert is included, in the app and on the website. Nothing is gated.
Is there a free trial?
There's nothing to try before you buy, because there's nothing to buy. ChartMath is free. No credit card required. Sign in and everything is available.
Do I need to know Pine Script or coding?
No coding required. ChartMath screens are pre-built and curated by traders. Just browse screens that match your strategy, enable alerts, and start receiving notifications. Every screen includes a plain-English explanation of the logic.
