Why traders choose WickSpeak
You trade CFDs on gold, indices or forex
WickSpeak shows every instrument your cTrader broker offers, at your broker's own prices, so you read exactly what you trade.
You want the indicator explained
Every reading says what the indicator is doing now, how to trade it and the level or event that proves it wrong.
You want a check before every trade
The trade score weighs the bigger timeframe, buying or selling pressure, indicator lean and levels in the way, then suggests fixes.
You want odds from real history
The planner shows how often 1R, 2R and 3R targets were reached before the stop on this chart, and which paid best.
You want to learn from your own trades
Coach and Your Edge read your real broker trades and show what works for you and what does not.
You would rather not code
Playbook builds plays from plain steps, and Mentor's Tune keeps only changes that held up in both halves of the history.
