COMMENT "CHARTAI"
Read charts with AI: Kronos, or any vision model on a screenshot
Two free ways to get an AI to read a candlestick chart: paste a TradingView screenshot into any vision model with the prompt below, or run Kronos, the open-source (MIT) model trained on 12B candles that forecasts the next candles from your data.
01Quick steps
- 1Fast way: screenshot a TradingView chart, drop it into Claude/ChatGPT/Grok, paste the read-the-chart prompt (below).
- 2Model way: run Kronos, github.com/shiyu-coder/Kronos, live demo at shiyu-coder.github.io/Kronos-demo; it forecasts the next candles from chart data.
- 3Act only on clean setups; if there is no clean setup, WAIT.
- 4Hard rules: one trade at a time, a hard stop every time, never move it.
02Your ready to use prompt
Read this candlestick chart. Give me the trend, the key support and resistance, and one clean setup with an entry, a stop and a target. If there is no clean setup, say WAIT.
03Full tutorial
Option A is zero-setup (drop a chart screenshot into a vision model), Option B is the open-source model Kronos for programmatic forecasts. Try A first.
Take a clean screenshot of a TradingView chart on one timeframe with the support and resistance visible.
Drop that image into Claude, ChatGPT, or Grok with the prompt below, forcing it to return the trend, key support and resistance, and ONE setup with entry, stop and target, or the word WAIT.
Cross-check its levels against the chart yourself, since models can hallucinate a line that is not there.
Clone github.com/shiyu-coder/Kronos (MIT license, trained on about 12B candles across 45 exchanges) and install its requirements.
Try the live demo at shiyu-coder.github.io/Kronos-demo first to see the output shape, then load a Kronos model (the small variant runs on modest hardware) and feed it your OHLCV series to forecast the next candles.
A forecast is a probability, not a signal. Enter on confirmation, put the stop beyond the invalidation level, and target the move with at least 2:1 reward. If the forecast and the price action disagree, WAIT.
One trade at a time, a hard stop every time, and never move the stop once it is set.
Remember an AI chart read is an opinion and it is wrong plenty, so only risk what you can afford to lose. Not financial advice.
Option A is zero-setup: any multimodal model (Claude, ChatGPT, Grok) can read a chart screenshot and return levels. Option B is the open model: Kronos (github.com/shiyu-coder/Kronos, MIT license) was trained on ~12B candles across 45 exchanges and forecasts the next candles from raw OHLC data. Use A for quick reads, B if you want programmatic forecasts.
Screenshot a clean TradingView chart (one timeframe, visible S/R). Drop it in with the script prompt. Force it to return trend, key support/resistance, and ONE setup with entry/stop/target, or WAIT. Cross-check its levels against the chart yourself, models can hallucinate a line.
Clone github.com/shiyu-coder/Kronos, install requirements, and load a Kronos model (the small variant runs on modest hardware). Feed it your OHLCV series and it outputs a forecast of the next candles. Try the live demo first (shiyu-coder.github.io/Kronos-demo) to see the output shape before wiring it in.
A forecast is a probability, not a signal on its own. Define entry/stop/target around it: enter on confirmation, stop beyond the invalidation level, target the forecast's move with at least 2:1 reward. If the forecast and price action disagree, WAIT.
One trade at a time, a hard stop on every trade, and never move the stop once set. The AI finds the setup; these rules keep a wrong read from becoming a big loss.

An AI read is an opinion, not a guarantee. One trade at a time, a hard stop every time, only money you can afford to lose. Not financial advice.
