Each trade now has its own chart: open it in Activity. The Charts page described below is no longer in the menu, and an old link to it opens Activity.
Charts puts your trades back on the price, with Wildflower's decisions beside them. You can see a session the way it happened.
Where the price comes from
Your market data comes to your own computer, through your own broker connection, and stays there. Wildflower's servers do not hold it.
So a price chart here is drawn in one of two ways. For the Wildflower Demo, it uses the demo's own made-up prices, which come from us. For a real account, it is drawn by Wildflower on the computer that does your trading. On a phone, or on a computer that is not running your trading, there is no price to draw. The page says so rather than showing an empty grid.
Your trades, fills and profit and loss are not market data. They are always on Reports and in Activity, whether the chart draws or not.
Choosing what you look at
The market buttons list what your accounts trade now, then anything they traded in the last 120 days, so older history stays within reach. The page opens on the market of your most recent trade. Beside them is the candle length, from 15 seconds up to 15 minutes. All of them are built from the same 15-second candles.
The layers
Each button switches one layer on or off.
- 50 EMA. A 50-candle exponential moving average: an average of recent closing prices that gives more weight to the newest.
- My trades. Your fills, entry to exit, with the result. Click one to see its card.
- Why no trade? What each strategy saw at each moment and what came of it. The label counts each kind: traded; armed (an order sent to your broker and waiting to fill); benched (set aside so another of your setups could go instead); slot taken (a trade was already open); or blocked (one of your rules stopped it).
- Sim ghost. The same session run again as a backtest and drawn alongside, as dashed outlines. The label counts the trades it found and any it could not cover.
- Slippage. The gap between the price you wanted and the price you got.
- Notes. Your own notes on a trade or a day.
- Sessions. Shading over the sessions the account is set to trade in, or "none set" if it has none.
Replay the day steps through the loaded candles in order, so the decisions appear as they happened. It replays what was recorded and runs nothing again.
Where a futures contract rolled over to the next one, a labelled line marks it, so the jump in price reads as a roll and not a move. The price history itself is never cut.
What can go wrong
- The chart is empty and says the price is on your own computer. That is how it works, not a fault. Open Wildflower on the computer that trades the account.
- We could not load the price history. A fault on our side, not with your account or your broker. Use Try again.
- A stretch with no decisions. When there are more decisions than can be drawn, the chart says it is showing the most recent ones. Look at fewer days.
- Nothing to compare against. When a trade has no backtest match, its card says so rather than claiming they agree.
