TradeAnalyzer.Pro research guide

Last updated: 2026-09-22

What are you researching?

Pick the path that matches your question. A market screener finds instruments; Stratum Discover investigates public accounts and observed positioning.

Research a market in five steps

Use screeners and Chart to shortlist and inspect instruments, then review TAP on loaded candles.

Investigate public positioning with Stratum Discover

Stratum Discover shows public, sampled venue profiles and positions with methodology honesty (snapshot age, estimated mark-to-market, on-demand refresh for followed wallets). It does not auto-feed TAP library presets, walk-forward checks or trade execution. Live follow/copy stays off.

If most observed BTC notional in the displayed sample is short, this describes that sample at its recorded time. It does not describe every BTC trader or forecast the next price move.

Compare the data sources

Instrument types

Stock-linked and ETF-linked markets are USDT perpetuals tied to underlying names — not equity or ETF share ownership. Commodity markets are USDT perpetuals (metals and energy). Forex pages cover spot FX pairs; gold research belongs under Commodities (XAUUSDT). Legacy XAUUSD forex-gold labeling is deprecated.

Accounts and alert delivery

Some tools (for example Liquidations Hub and Smart Indicator Filter) may show a FREE sign-in wall for full results. Browser alert dock and My-TAP alerts require the tab to stay open on FREE. Web Push or server-side TAP monitoring only when your plan enables them — do not assume always-on server delivery.

Indicator Filter vs Smart Indicator Filter

Both filters help you express research ideas as scan conditions. Choose based on whether your rules share one timeframe or require per-condition timeframes.

Chart, Order Flow & TAP

Chart is the center of deep research on TradeAnalyzer.Pro. Layer technical indicators, market microstructure and rule-based testing in one workspace. Chart also ships 57 Strategy Library research presets — load them in Chart / TAP, then review on Strategies.

TAP Risk Simulation on Loaded Chart Data

TAP Risk Simulation lets you review strategy ideas with configurable exits and explicit assumptions on the candles currently loaded in Chart — a more realistic research step between rule building and deeper validation.

Advanced Workflow: From TAP Back to Market Scan

When Chart research produces a clear setup, reverse the workflow to find more symbols in a similar state.

Keep extracted filter rules simple and readable — complexity that works on one symbol may not generalize across 650+ markets.

Example Research Scenarios

Illustrative only — not a trading recommendation.

Research & Risk Principles

• Multi-timeframe alignment — Use 15m and 1h for setup detection and 4h/1d for regime context. Research is stronger when at least two timeframes agree; conflicting higher-timeframe bias warrants caution.
• Signals are screening hints — LONG/SHORT/NEUTRAL labels derive from indicator state. Treat them as starting points for further analysis — not standalone action triggers.
• Data freshness — Indicator values update on the platform's standard screener cadence. Check last-updated timestamps when a symbol looks unusual or stale.
• Filter design — Prefer 3–6 independent conditions (trend + momentum + participation + volatility). Each condition should add new information; remove redundant indicators that measure the same dimension.

FAQ

Glossary

• RSI: Relative Strength Index — momentum oscillator used for overbought/oversold readings and divergence research.
• ADX: Average Directional Index — measures trend strength regardless of direction; higher values generally indicate stronger trends.
• EMA: Exponential Moving Average — weighted moving average that reacts faster to recent price changes.
• MACD: Moving Average Convergence Divergence — trend-following momentum indicator showing relationship between two EMAs.
• TSI: True Strength Index — smoothed momentum oscillator designed to reduce noise in fast markets.
• ATR: Average True Range — volatility measure used for understanding range expansion and compression.
• Bollinger Bands: Volatility bands around a moving average; band width and squeeze patterns indicate compression regimes.
• TAP: TradeAnalyzer Performance Engine — Rule-based strategy research layer: build Long/Short conditions without coding, multi-timeframe inputs, risk/exit assumptions, and TAP Review on candles loaded in Chart. Not live execution and not full deep-history backtesting.
• Order Flow: Market microstructure data including bid/ask depth, volume and derivatives positioning context.
• Divergence: Price and RSI disagree at extremes (regular bullish/bearish patterns). Research context only.
• Mean reversion: Research framework expecting price to revert toward a mean in range-bound regimes.
• Volatility squeeze: Compression period where Bollinger Band width narrows, often studied before potential expansion.
• Multi-timeframe: Analyzing the same symbol across 15m, 1h, 4h and 1d to align setup timing with regime context.
• Volume ratio: Comparison of current volume to a baseline average — used as a participation confirmation dimension.
• Cohort: A group of public venue accounts that share a research trait (for example size or behavior) — still a sample, not the whole market.
• Notional: Position size expressed in quote-currency value (for example USDT), useful when judging concentration.
• Freshness: How recent a Stratum snapshot or research feed is — stale samples should not drive conclusions.
• Snapshot diff: What changed between two research snapshots (new, closed or resized positions) — not a full execution tape.
• Holdout: Keeping a later slice of loaded Chart candles out of fitting so TAP Review can check behavior on unseen bars in that scope.
• Walk-Forward: Institutional purged validation (Holdout / Rolling / Anchored / CPCV) on loaded Chart history — browser-local research, not a live signal.
• Sealed TAP: A shared TAP link that others can apply without seeing the author’s internal rule values.
• Stratum Discover: Participant-research hub for sampled public venue accounts and positions — separate from market screeners (Screen / Find markets).
• Tracked Traders: Chart panel for identified public venue accounts/positions opened from Stratum Discover Inspect links.
• Market Flow: Chart panel summarizing anonymous trade-flow / size-flow context — not identified wallets.
• Depth: Live bid/ask liquidity ladder in Chart Order Flow (crypto where exchange streams are supported).
• CVD / Delta: Cumulative volume delta and short-window participation metrics in the Order Flow panel — research context, not a trade signal.
• Volume Profile: Chart indicator showing volume by price (POC / value area) — separate from the Order Flow depth panel.
• Liquidations Heatmap Lite: Scoped price×time / symbol×USD liquidation density on the Liquidations Hub — not a full cascade order-book heatmap.
• Footprint: Chart Order Flow Footprint: buy/sell by price on 1m bars from live aggTrades, with closed-bar History Lite (≤7d). Not a raw tick archive and not an L2/orderbook heatmap.
• Flow Delta Rel: Signed Footprint Δ divided by median(|Δ|) on the chart timeframe — Chart TAP and Crypto Smart Filter snapshots. Values near ±1 mean stronger-than-typical pressure.
• Flow Universe Scan: Crypto Smart Indicator Filter reads precomputed flow_delta_rel / flow_bias / flow_score snapshots for Bybit linear symbols with Footprint History Lite coverage. Markets and Forex are excluded.
• Fork Diff: When you build on a sealed shared TAP, Fork Diff compares your overlay and risk to the author publish while author rules stay hidden (opaque sealed base). Optional: apply author risk (TP/SL/exits) to your fork.
• Take Profit: Profit target level (TP, TP1, TP2, TP3) used in TAP exit simulation.
• Stop Loss: Protective stop level (SL) used in TAP exit simulation.
• Break-Even: Stop moved toward entry after favorable movement — offset by % or ATR, not risk-free.
• Trailing Stop: Stop that follows price using Percent, ATR or Step mode.
• Same-Bar Exit: SL and TP both reachable within one OHLC candle; resolved by SL First or TP First.
• Train/Test: Split loaded candles into training and holdout segments for comparison.
• Holdout Validation: Single out-of-sample segment on loaded Chart data; Walk-Forward adds purged multi-window modes on the same scope.
• Replay: Chart playback mode; can stop on TAP exit for trade inspection.
• Entry: Simulated trade open when TAP Long/Short conditions match.
• Exit: Simulated trade close via SL, TP, trailing or management rule.
• Partial Exit: Closing a fraction of size at TP1 or TP2 while remainder stays open.
• Position Allocation: Percent of size assigned to TP1, TP2 and TP3 in multi-target mode.
• Risk Simulation: TAP Review exit modeling on loaded Chart candles — research only.
• Session Footprint: Session Footprint provides live buy/sell volume-at-price context for supported crypto markets using current exchange trade prints, plus closed 1-minute History Lite bars (≤7 days where available). It is designed for current-session and recent live analysis. Archived tick-level Footprint history and full historical L2 liquidity heatmaps are not currently provided.
• Live Mid: Live midpoint reference on Chart without opening the full Order Flow workspace (supported crypto).
• Crosshair: Time-synced cursor across chart panes; timeframes may differ.
• Drawing: User annotations on Chart; shared storage across panes with toolbar on primary.
• Overlay: TAP markers and TP/SL lines drawn on Chart; opacity adjustable.
• RSI Divergence: Price and RSI disagree at extremes (regular bullish/bearish patterns). Research context only.
• OBV Divergence: Price and On-Balance Volume disagree at extremes — participation confirmation for RSI findings.
• Divergence Scanner: Multi-timeframe RSI/OBV divergence screen for crypto, stocks, forex and commodities with optional ADX filter.
