Trade Q&A measures questions against the closed trades in your trade library. Ask whether you perform better at a certain time, around a particular level, or when using one playbook, and Chartnaut calculates the result from your journal.
Some questions can be answered with a simple filter, but others depend on several details at once. Trade Q&A can find the relevant trades, compare groups, and show the rows used in the calculation so you can check the result before changing your trading rules.
How it works
Open Trades and describe your question in chat. Chartnaut uses the current filters when you have already narrowed the library, or selects the relevant trades from the full journal. It can calculate win rate, average R, differences by tag or time of day, and other values available from your trade records.
The calculation depends on fields such as playbooks, tags, markets, times, and recorded prices. Consistent labels make it easier for Chartnaut to select the intended trades. After the first result, ask a follow-up to adjust the selection or compare another condition.
Ask in chat
Ask
“Hey, do I trade better away or closer to VWAP?”
Ask
“What’s my win rate in the first hour vs after lunch?”
Ask
“Do my chase-tagged trades lose more than my A+ setups?”
Examples by trader style
The questions can use the terminology and journal fields that match your trading style:
ICT / smart money concepts
Sweep-first BOS entries
Do BOS / CHOCH fills outperform when you wait for a liquidity sweep first?
FVG fill vs never tagged
Compare average R when price fills the gap versus entries that never tag it.
London killzone vs NY open
Session-window expectancy for the same playbook tags.
Order flow
Stacked imbalance vs absorption
Win rate when you enter on stacked imbalance versus absorption at the level.
Delta-divergence fades
Do fades hold better than breakout continuation fills with the same tag?
Unfinished auction at stop
Average R when footprint shows leftover liquidity at your stop.
Session / VWAP / levels
Closer vs farther from VWAP
Do you trade better away from session VWAP or right on it?
OR break vs fade
Opening-range break trades versus fades back into the range.
Prior day high / low touches
Continuation versus reverse outcomes for your level tags.
Saving a useful group
A temporary result does not need to remain in your library after the question has been answered. If the selected trades are worth reviewing again, save them as a named group and return to that group after more trades have been added.
Trade Q&A measures your executed trades. A research study measures what followed market events collected by a definition, including events you never traded.
Why people use it
- Measure a question that depends on several journal fields
- Compare performance across times, tags, playbooks, or market conditions
- Inspect the trades included in each calculation
- Save a useful group for later review
Try it
Ask whether your results differ when entries are close to or far from VWAP. Read how Chartnaut selected the trades, open several rows from each group, and check that the comparison matches the question you intended to ask. Save the selected group if you want to repeat the review after collecting more trades.
