Risk disclosure

VibeTrading is an analysis tool. It can watch for conditions you define and tell you when they occur, but it is not a broker, not an adviser, and it decides nothing for you. Read this page before you act on anything the app shows you.

This is not financial advice

Nothing produced by VibeTrading — the levels, the W and M patterns, the head-and-shoulders and cup-and-handle shapes, the candle shapes, the confidence percentages, the measured-move targets, the alerts your rules fire, or anything the chat assistant writes — is investment advice, a recommendation, or a solicitation to buy or sell anything. It is arithmetic applied to public price history, presented for you to interpret. No one at VibeTrading knows your finances, your risk tolerance, or your goals, and the app does not take them into account.

If you want advice, speak to someone licensed to give it in your jurisdiction.

What the app actually does

It reads recent candles from a public market-data API, then computes things you could compute yourself with a spreadsheet and enough patience: which prices the market has revisited, and where two lows or two highs sit close enough together to form a double bottom or double top. Every threshold is a fixed rule expressed in ATR. There is no prediction model, no proprietary edge, and no crystal ball.

A confidence percentage measures how cleanly a shape matches its geometric definition — how close the two lows are, how deep the pattern is, how symmetric the legs are. It is not a probability that a trade will work. A 90% double bottom is a tidy-looking double bottom, nothing more.

Strategy alerts are notifications, not instructions

You can arm a rule — a pattern shape, or price meeting a support or resistance level — and the app will tell you when that condition is met. An alert means exactly one thing: the arithmetic described above matched on a candle that has closed. It is not a view on whether to trade, it carries no opinion about your position or your risk, and it is not a signal to act.

Alerts are deliberately late. A rule only fires on closed candles, and by default only once a pattern is confirmed and has survived a further candle — so by the time you hear from us, some of the move has already happened. That is the trade we chose: fewer alerts for setups that vanish, at the cost of a worse entry.

Do not use alerts as risk management. They are not a stop-loss and not a substitute for one. Delivery is best effort and is not guaranteed: our server may be down or restarting, market data may be cached or stale, an hourly rule may not notice for several minutes, and a rule may simply never fire. If you would be harmed by an alert arriving late or not at all, do not depend on it — put a real order on your exchange instead.

Rules are private to the wallet address that created them. Connecting a wallet and signing a message is how we establish that address, and it is all it does: there is no transaction, no token approval, and no ability for us to move anything you hold. If you lose access to that address, you lose access to the rules under it.

Chart patterns are not predictions

We have measured this and would rather tell you than let you assume otherwise: run the detector over a random walk with no structure in it at all, and it finds roughly as many patterns as it finds on real Bitcoin data. That is a property of chart patterns in general, not a defect in this implementation — random data genuinely contains W-shapes. It means a mark on your chart is evidence that a shape is present, not evidence that a move will follow.

Trading can lose you money

Trading cryptocurrency carries substantial risk, including the total loss of the money you put in. Crypto markets run continuously, move violently, and are lightly regulated compared with equities. Leverage multiplies losses as readily as gains. Past price behaviour does not predict future price behaviour. Only risk money you can afford to lose entirely.

What we never do

• We do not execute trades. The app has no order placement of any kind.
• We never ask for exchange API keys. There is nowhere to enter them, and no feature that would use them. If anything ever asks you for keys in our name, it is not us.
• We do not hold funds or custody assets. There is no deposit and no withdrawal. You can connect a wallet, but only to sign a message proving an address is yours — we never request an approval or a transaction, and we could not spend from it if we tried.
• We do not manage money or accept discretionary authority over anyone's account.
• We do not sell signals, promise returns, or publish track records. Any claim of guaranteed profit attributed to VibeTrading is fraudulent.

The data may be wrong or late

Market data comes from a third-party public API and is provided as-is. It may be delayed, incomplete, or unavailable. Prices shown may differ from those on your exchange. Do not rely on this app as your source of truth for a live position.

The software is young

VibeTrading is in active development and is offered free. It has bugs. Several detection rules on this site were corrected in the past week after users reported patterns being missed. Treat its output with the scepticism you would apply to any early tool.
