Frequently asked questions

HyperFX is an educational market-analysis workspace. It can read a chart screenshot or live chart, describe market structure and scenarios, propose entry, stop and target levels, calculate risk/reward in code, and help you test and journal the plan. It is not a broker, exchange, portfolio manager or signal guarantee.

No. It presents a probabilistic analysis and may explicitly return NO TRADE when structure, image quality or risk/reward is insufficient. You remain responsible for deciding whether to act and for checking price, fees, liquidity and personal risk.

The output follows a fixed analysis contract. The model describes visible structure and proposes levels; validation checks the format, while deterministic code recalculates risk/reward and rejects inconsistent direction or levels. The result also preserves scenarios, confidence, invalidation and a timestamp instead of returning an unstructured opinion.

Yes. A chart is incomplete information, future order flow is unknown and image recognition can fail. Confidence is not a probability of profit. Treat every result as a hypothesis that needs current-market confirmation and a predefined loss limit.

Because not entering is a valid risk decision. HyperFX can withhold a plan when the chart is unclear, levels conflict, price is already too far from entry or the available target does not compensate for the stop distance.

HyperFX supports readable candlestick charts for crypto, forex, stocks, indices, gold, oil and other liquid instruments. Data conventions differ: forex has sessions and spreads, crypto trades continuously, and gold reacts strongly to dollar and macro events. The same visual pattern should not be assumed to behave identically across markets.

Show the instrument, timeframe, price scale and at least roughly 100 visible candles. Keep candles large enough to read. Remove unrelated drawings; standard volume or momentum indicators are acceptable. For day or swing analysis, add a higher-timeframe screenshot so the local pattern is not read against the dominant structure.

Usually yes. A live chart provides exact OHLCV values and removes OCR ambiguity. Screenshots remain useful for charts from unsupported platforms or for sharing a specific visual context, but they become stale and can hide scale or candle details.

The label may be cropped, blurred or covered by indicators. Do not use numeric levels if the instrument or timeframe is wrong. Upload a clean image with the symbol and interval visible, or use the live-chart mode.

When possible. Use the execution timeframe for the setup and a higher timeframe for trend and major zones. A 5–15 minute chart can be paired with 1H–4H for day trading; 1H–4H can be paired with 1D for swing analysis.

A setup is a conditional plan, not a prediction headline. It identifies direction, entry or trigger, stop, one or more targets, timeframe, publication time and invalidation. If the trigger never occurs or the setup expires, there may be no trade at all.

That can be correct for a long breakout order: price must first confirm strength by reaching the trigger. It can also indicate a stale or badly interpreted plan. Compare direction, order logic, current price, publication time and invalidation before treating it as intentional.

Freshness is not only age. A setup is stale when price has already travelled through its target path, hit invalidation, moved too far from entry, or when its intended session/timeframe has passed. HyperFX surfaces timestamps and freshness warnings so an old chart is not mistaken for a new opportunity.

A target hit is positive according to the recorded plan; a stop is negative; breakeven means the position was protected and closed around the defined zero-risk level; expired means the opportunity ended without a valid terminal target/stop result. Breakeven and expired should not be silently counted as wins.

No. Profitability depends on average win, average loss, fees, execution and sample size. A 40% win rate can be profitable with sufficiently large wins; an 80% win rate can lose money if occasional losses are much larger. Review expectancy in R, profit factor and drawdown alongside win rate.

1R is the amount you chose to lose if the stop is reached. If account risk is $50, then −1R is −$50 and +2R is +$100 before fees and slippage. R makes trades with different prices and markets comparable.

For a long plan, risk per unit is entry minus stop and reward per unit is target minus entry. For a short plan the signs reverse. HyperFX discards any model-written ratio and recalculates it from the levels in deterministic code.

You open a play-money position from a saved analysis or published setup. Server-owned levels are repriced against live data, risk is limited, and settlement begins on subsequent market candles. The journal then records the actual outcome rather than letting the browser choose it.

No. Demo results are useful evidence about setup selection and discipline, but live trading adds slippage, spreads, fees, latency, emotions and liquidity constraints. Use demo as a filter for bad processes, not as a promise of future profit.

A position cap prevents several correlated setups from hiding the true amount at risk. Five separate crypto longs may behave like one large market bet. Limits encourage selection, make drawdown interpretable and reduce overtrading.

Yes. Create a free account and verify your email or Telegram to unlock one full screenshot analysis. Further screenshot analyses require a plan or a credit pack. Charts, learning, the journal, games, leaderboards and setup previews remain available without a paid plan.

Telegram provides a faster entry point for chart analysis and, when enabled for your account, setup, result and reminder notifications in your selected language. The website remains the fuller workspace for live charts, history, journal and settings.

Yes. HyperFX supports English, Russian, Spanish, Turkish and Korean. The website language switcher keeps the same page when a translation exists. For a linked account, the saved locale also drives supported Telegram messages and product communication.

No. Never send a password, seed phrase, private key or withdrawal-enabled API key to HyperFX support or paste it into chart analysis. Public wallet intelligence uses public blockchain data; chart analysis only needs the visible chart or supported live-market data.

Plans define analysis allowances and feature access. Usage is reserved atomically before a paid AI request; if the provider request fails, the reservation is released so a technical failure does not intentionally consume the analysis. Available payment methods depend on the live billing configuration.

It is an informational probability assessment for a specific market and event, recorded with its publication time, selection and available odds. It is not a guaranteed result or an instruction to bet. The useful comparison is between the estimated probability, the market-implied probability and the uncertainty around both.

Divide one by the decimal odds. Odds of 2.00 imply 50% before bookmaker margin; 1.50 implies about 66.7%. Prices across all outcomes normally add to more than 100%, so remove that overround before calling the result a fair market probability.

Edge is the difference between an estimated probability and a comparable margin-adjusted market probability at publication. Closing-line value compares the price taken with the final market price before the event. Neither guarantees a win, but repeated positive CLV can be more informative than a short run of outcomes.

When team news, line-ups, injuries, venue, weather, schedule or market price changes enough to alter the original probability. A prediction must be read with its timestamp. Once an event starts, a pre-match assessment should not be presented as a fresh live prediction.

They should follow a declared settlement policy and remain separate from wins and losses. A void result must not improve win rate, while a rescheduled event should only settle when the source and market rules make the outcome unambiguous. HyperFX excludes pending and void predictions from the public hit-rate denominator.

It is an optional sponsored route to view third-party sports markets. HyperFX may earn compensation if an eligible adult signs up or uses the service. It is not an endorsement, never changes the analysis and is subject to age, country and operator restrictions. Gambling can cause financial harm; never chase losses.
