Add both charts and press Enter. The idea usually arrives in 15 to 40 seconds, then a second check runs in the background and updates it if needed.
Wick reads a higher-timeframe chart for direction and a lower-timeframe chart for timing, runs them through every major chart-reading method, has a second pass check the answer, then draws the trade on your chart.
The higher timeframe decides direction: the AI only looks for longs when it's bullish and shorts when it's bearish. The lower timeframe times the entry inside that direction. A gap of about 4 to 12 times between the two works best.
| Style | Higher timeframe | Lower timeframe | Typical hold |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scalping | 15m | 1m | Minutes |
| Day trading | 1h | 5m | Under a day |
| Intraday swing | 4h | 15m | A few hours to a day |
| Swing trading | Daily | 1h | Days |
Recommended: 4h and 15m. Longer timeframes have less noise, clearer structure and more reliable levels, and the candles are easier for the app to measure.
Markets behave differently depending on which financial center is awake. The status bar at the top of Wick lights up the sessions that are open right now. For index futures like NQ, the London–New York overlap is usually the most active part of the day.
| Session | Hours (Spain time) | What it's like | Pros | Cons | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sydney | about 00:00–06:00 | The quietest session. Thin volume, mostly Australian and New Zealand traders. | Calm, small, orderly moves | Low volume, wider spreads, moves that don't last | AUD and NZD pairs; planning the day |
| Tokyo (Asia) | about 01:00–08:00 | Steady and range-bound for most markets. It builds the "Asian range": a high and low that later sessions often run. | Clean ranges; the Asian high and low become clear targets for London | Little movement in US indices and euro pairs | JPY pairs; marking the Asian high and low |
| London | 09:00–17:30 | The largest forex session. It often sets the day's direction, frequently after an early fake move through the Asian high or low. | Strong trends and deep liquidity | The first hour can whipsaw and hunt stops | EUR, GBP, gold, European indices |
| New York | 15:30–22:00 (US data at 14:30) | The most volatile session for US indices. US economic data lands at 14:30, the cash open is at 15:30, and lunch (18:00–19:30) is usually slow. | The biggest moves and volume for NQ and ES | News spikes, slippage, choppy lunch hours | NQ, ES, US stocks, USD pairs |
| London–NY overlap | about 14:00–17:30 | Both centers are trading at once, so it's the most liquid window of the day. | Best liquidity and follow-through | Fast moves around 14:30 and 15:30 | Day trading NQ and most majors |
Your choice changes how much room the trade gets, not which way it goes. The bars show a typical stop distance (red) against target distance (green).
Every analysis works through all of these and builds the trade where the most methods agree.
When the page can't send pictures to the AI, it only gets candle positions, not the numbers on your price scale. The levels are marked on your chart so you can read the exact prices off it.
Usually 15 to 40 seconds for the trade idea. A second check then runs in the background and quietly updates the result if it finds a problem, like a stop sitting right where it's likely to be hit.
Yes. When the timeframes disagree or nothing lines up, you'll see "No clear setup". It only ever draws a trade when there's a solid setup close to the current price, one you could actually place now. Otherwise no trade is drawn, and the reasoning says what price needs to do first.
No. Every analysis starts fresh, and the chat only knows the current trade idea.
This is an AI opinion based on screenshots, not financial advice. Use it as a second opinion, not a signal to act on directly.
The AI only knows what's in the two screenshots you upload. Anything outside them, like news, other timeframes or the wider market, is ignored.
Where the page can send pictures to the AI, it looks at your screenshots directly. Where it can't, the app measures every candle in your screenshots (wicks and bodies) and sends those numbers instead. In that case the AI sees the price action but not indicators, volume, your drawings or any text on the chart, including prices.
The trade-idea chart is your lower-timeframe screenshot with the AI's levels drawn on top by the app. Entry, stop and target are positions on your chart, not exact prices. Check them against your own chart before acting.
Four steps, done once. After that you just send Wick two screenshots and copy the trade.
