It says when there is nothing there
When the chart is genuinely indecisive you get a wait card and what to watch for, not an invented trade plan. Most tools will manufacture a setup because you asked for one.
Snap or import any chart and get an instant, structured read: trend, support and resistance levels, detected patterns, and a trade plan with the risk maths already done.
The problem
Reading the chart is the easy part
Turning what you see into a plan you can size, risk and review is where most retail traders come unstuck.
Guessing the levels
You can see the chart, but not where the setup actually invalidates. Entry, stop and target end up being a feeling rather than a number.
No record of what works
You take the trade, it wins or it loses, and nothing gets learned. There is no honest record of whether your reads hold up over time.
Analysis scattered everywhere
Screenshots in one app, notes in another, a spreadsheet you stopped updating in March. The context is gone by the time you need it.
The loop
Scan. Ask. Journal.
Scan any chart
Photograph or import a chart from any platform. An AI vision model reads it and returns trend and its strength, numeric support and resistance, detected patterns, and a trade plan with entry, stop and targets.
- Trend and strength
- Support and resistance
- Entry, stop, targets
Ask follow-ups
Every analysis comes with a chat that already knows the full context of the read you just got. Ask what invalidates the setup, why a level matters, or how the risk looks before you commit.
- Knows your levels
- Stays on your chart
- Educational only
Find out if the reads work
Log the trades you take and close them. Anything logged from an analysis retro-scores that analysis, so the accuracy figure is built from your own outcomes rather than from a marketing claim.
- Scored in R-multiples
- Your own closed trades
- Never a projection
Capabilities
Everything around the scan
The analysis is the core. These are the parts that make it usable session after session.
Risk calculator
Turn account balance and risk percentage into a position size, an R:R and the margin the trade actually requires. The maths that decides how much you lose when you are wrong.
Your strategies
Save the setups you actually trade. The one you pick rides along with the scan, so the read is framed by your approach instead of a generic one.
Full history
Every scan you have run, searchable and filterable, with the original chart image kept beside the read so you can see what the AI was actually looking at.
It reads the picture, not the platform
There is no broker connection and no data feed. If your platform can draw a candlestick chart, CandleScan can read a screenshot of it.

How it works
Chart in, plan out
No account linking, no broker connection, no live data feed. Just the chart in front of you.
Honest by design
A wrong number is worse than no number
That line is written into the AI prompt itself. These constraints override growth optimisation, and they are why the app is worth trusting with a decision.
97%
Of the people who day traded for more than 300 days, 97% lost money. That is from a study of 19,646 retail day traders tracked over five years, not a marketing figure. It is also why the app leads with the stop, the invalidation and the position size: the numbers that decide how much you lose when the read is wrong.

No invented statistics
Pattern base rates carry their source and their caveats. The setup score is labelled a subjective estimate, because that is what it is. When the price axis cannot be read, the numbers are suppressed rather than guessed.
Educational, never advice
Not a signals service, not a prediction engine, not a financial adviser. It says so on every screen that shows a number, and it will never tell you to take a trade.
Pricing
One subscription, everything included
There is no free tier and no trial. Every plan unlocks the whole app, and you can cancel from your Apple account at any time.
