# VaultCharts·desktop charts·AI when you want it

Fetch, scan, rank, confirm — like a co-trader on your desk.

Indicators, patterns, and chart tools on your desktop — or ask the AI to pull the numbers. You stay in control. Free to start.

## Chart like TradingView.

Analyze with AI when you want to.

Two ways to work the same market data. Run indicators, patterns, and strategies on the chart yourself — or ask the assistant to fetch, scan, and summarize a setup. Same vault, your choice.

### Ask for analysis on a setup

Bring your own model. The assistant fetches data, scans structure, and walks through the trade — grounded in what's loaded, not invented prices.

### Work the chart the classic way

Indicators, patterns, drawing tools, and multi-timeframe structure — the same kind of manual technical analysis you'd run in TradingView.

// ASSISTANT

## Built for the decision

— not the monologue.

Refresh a ticker, scan structure, and see which watchlist setups are closest to your entry — from the same charts, notes, and trade plans you already use.

```

### Tools, not vibes

Before you size a trade, pull the series: scan structure, run indicators, refresh a ticker, evaluate the setup against bars already in your vault.

```
  ┌─┐ ── ┌─┐

```

### Ideas near entry

Know which watchlist setups are close to your levels and which are still waiting. Draft cards from proximity and momentum — nothing sticks until you confirm.

### Portfolio & journal

Review holdings, risk, and closed trades from your own plans. Dig into what worked last month without pretending the model knows next week’s open.

## Your keys. Your edge. Your machine.

Your keys never leave your machine as “VaultCharts’ keys.” Analysis is grounded in your vault — not vendor memory of the market.

### BYOK — not our keys

You configure the provider. The desktop app talks to that API. VaultCharts does not sell LLM access.

### Prompts stay local

Chat and optional learned memory save on your machine. We don’t store prompts for analytics.
