From Screenshot to Trade: A Complete FXSynapse Walkthrough

A step-by-step guide showing the entire workflow — from opening your chart to placing your trade.

Step 1: Identify Your Opportunity

Open your trading platform and browse your watchlist. When you spot a chart that looks interesting — maybe price is near a key level, or you see a pattern forming — it's time to get the AI's opinion.

Step 2: Capture the Chart

Option A: Take a screenshot (PrtScn on Windows, Cmd+Shift+4 on Mac). Option B: Use Chart Station's built-in capture. Option C: Paste from clipboard (Ctrl+V in the scanner).

Step 3: Upload & Analyze

Drag your screenshot into the Scanner tab, or paste it. The AI processes your chart in ~10 seconds. Watch the progress bar — it's analyzing structure, patterns, levels, and generating your setup.

Step 4: Review the Analysis

Check the annotated chart — do the drawn levels make sense? Review the entry, TP levels, and SL. Look at the confidence score. Read the detailed breakdown for context on what patterns the AI found.

Step 5: Evaluate Risk:Reward

Is the R:R at least 1:2? If not, the trade might not be worth the risk. Check if the stop loss is at a logical level (below support for buys, above resistance for sells).

Step 6: Place Your Trade

Open your broker platform. Set your entry price (or enter at market). Set your stop loss exactly where the AI suggests. Set TP1 as your first target. You can set TP2/TP3 as additional orders or manage them manually.

Step 7: Manage & Review

Once in the trade, let it play out. Don't move your stop loss further away. Consider moving to breakeven once TP1 is hit. After the trade closes, check your Performance tab to track your results over time.
