Short answer
VaultCharts includes an in-app trading assistant powered by a large language model (LLM) you configure yourself. It does not guess prices: it uses tools to read symbols, timeframes, market context, indicators, patterns, strategies, notes, and trade plans from your VaultCharts data. You bring your own API key (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google); VaultCharts does not store your prompts or model outputs on its servers.
How the assistant works (tools, not generic chat)
The assistant is built for analysis, not financial advice. It can call tools such as:
- Market & price context — e.g. market-phase style context and OHLC samples for the chart symbol and timeframe.
- Indicators & strategies — run catalog lookups and snapshots on your data.
- Pattern detection — scan the chart’s loaded series for supported pattern types (with human-readable bar times where applicable).
- Notes & trade plans — list or open trade plans and notes stored in the app.
- Planned trades — after you agree on levels, the assistant can create a planned trade plan entry (entry, stop, targets) so it appears in your Trade plans workflow.
Always treat outputs as educational; verify levels and decisions against your own rules.
Providers and API keys (BYOK)
You choose a provider and model in AI settings and supply your own API key. Requests go from the app to the provider you configured (subject to your network and the app’s security settings). VaultCharts does not sell or centrally host LLM access.
Chart context and optional @ mentions
You can ask questions in natural language; the assistant uses the current chart symbol and timeframe when relevant. You can also inject extra context (e.g. market phase or OHLC snippets) via @-style mentions in the composer when you want specific data bundled into a message. See Can I send chart data to the AI?.
Privacy
VaultCharts does not store your chat prompts or assistant replies for analytics. Market and app data used by tools stay under your control on your machine, consistent with Is VaultCharts private?.
