Product

Chart like TradingView. Analyze with AI when you want to.

Two ways to work the same market data. Run indicators, patterns, and strategies on the chart yourself — or ask the assistant to fetch, scan, and summarize a setup. Same vault, your choice.

AI assistant

Ask for analysis on a setup

Bring your own model. The assistant fetches data, scans structure, and walks through the trade — grounded in what's loaded, not invented prices.

Chart tools

Work the chart the classic way

Indicators, patterns, drawing tools, and multi-timeframe structure — the same kind of manual technical analysis you'd run in TradingView.

// ASSISTANT

Built for the decision — not the monologue.

Refresh a ticker, scan structure, and see which watchlist setups are closest to your entry — from the same charts, notes, and trade plans you already use.

┌─────┐ │ OHLC│ └──▸──┘ scan patterns

Tools, not vibes

Before you size a trade, pull the series: scan structure, run indicators, refresh a ticker, evaluate the setup against bars already in your vault.

┌─┐ ── ┌─┐ │W│───│E│ └─┘ └─┘ watch → entry

Ideas near entry

Know which watchlist setups are close to your levels and which are still waiting. Draft cards from proximity and momentum — nothing sticks until you confirm.

Your keys. Your edge. Your machine.

Your keys never leave your machine as “VaultCharts’ keys.” Analysis is grounded in your vault — not vendor memory of the market.

BYOK — not our keys

You configure the provider. The desktop app talks to that API. VaultCharts does not sell LLM access.
