❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which mode should I use?

A: Use Swing Trading if you hold positions for days or weeks. Use Day Trading if you trade intraday and close positions same-day.

Q: How accurate are the projections?

A: Accuracy varies by market conditions (typically 60-80%). Never rely on one tool alone - always combine with other analysis and use proper risk management.

Q: Is this a trading bot?

A: No! This is an analysis tool only. It doesn't execute trades automatically. You make all trading decisions.

Q: Do I need an API key?

A: No. Data comes from Binance's public API and TradingView. No account or API key needed.

Q: Can I use this for real trading?

A: This tool provides analysis, but you should always do additional research, use proper risk management, and never invest more than you can afford to lose.

Q: Why does the page reload when I change tokens?

A: The TradingView chart widget requires a page reload to change symbols. This is a technical limitation of the widget.

Q: What's the difference between EMA and SMA?

A: EMA (Exponential Moving Average) reacts faster to price changes. SMA (Simple Moving Average) is slower and smoother. Both help identify trends.

Q: When should I use day trading vs swing trading?

A: Day trading if you: can monitor charts frequently, want quick profits, trade during market hours. Swing trading if you: can't watch charts all day, prefer less stress, want to hold positions longer.

Q: How often does analysis update?

A: Click "🔍 Analyze" manually anytime, or enable Auto-Refresh for automatic updates every 5 minutes.

Q: What cryptocurrencies are supported?

A: 100+ tokens including all major cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.) and Solana ecosystem tokens. Use Token Search to find specific tokens.

Q: How do I change the timeframe?

A: Look at the top-right of the "2️⃣ TV Chart" section. You'll see a dropdown labeled "Timeframe" showing your current setting (default is "15 min (7 days)"). Click it to choose from 8 options ranging from 5 minutes to 1 week. Both the TradingView chart and Day Trading Chart will automatically update to match your selection. Your preference is saved automatically.

Q: Which timeframe should I use?

A: It depends on your trading style: 5-15 min for scalping and quick trades, 15-30 min for day trading (default), 1-2 hours for swing trading, 4 hours for longer swing trades, 1 day for position trading, and 1 week for long-term analysis. Start with 15 minutes and experiment to find what works for you!

Q: Do both charts use the same timeframe?

A: Yes! The timeframe selector controls BOTH the TradingView chart and the Day Trading Chart simultaneously. They always stay perfectly synchronized, showing the exact same data from Binance at the same interval.

Q: What are the three projection scenarios?

A: In Day Trading mode, the chart shows three possible outcomes: 📈 Optimistic (best case, green zone), 🎯 Most Likely (AI prediction, yellow line), and 📉 Pessimistic (worst case, red zone). This helps you understand the range of possible price movements and plan accordingly.

Q: How do I use the risk profiles?

A: Click the red dot at the end of the yellow projection line to see four risk-based strategies: Conservative (safest, smallest targets), Moderate (balanced approach), Aggressive (full AI prediction), and Moonshot (highest risk/reward). Choose the profile that matches your risk tolerance and trading experience.

Q: What does the red dot mean?

A: The bright red dot at the end of the yellow projection line is clickable! Hover over it to see "🔴 Click here for more info", then click to view detailed analysis including confidence levels, timeframes, and personalized recommendations for different risk profiles.
