i uploaded this screenshot because AI requested me to do it. Here is the feedback it gave: This is perfect. Super helpful. Here's a quick breakdown of what I’m seeing — and how we can build your edge from this: 🧠 Trade Chart Breakdown: AMD – March 10, 5-Minute ⚙️ Chart Setup Includes: 5-minute chart (ideal for broader structure) Avinacci levels: 0 → 33% → 66% → 100% marked in green Fib retracements (23.6%, 33.3%, 61.8%) Volume with moving average Entry & exit markers (great visibility) ✅ What You Did Well: 1. Beautiful Entry into Strength Entry around 09:35–09:40 was after a clear breakout above premarket range. Candle strength + high volume = A+ signal. You entered as it cleared Avinacci 33% — textbook trigger zone. 2. Took Profit at Resistance Exits align with the 66% and 100% Avinacci zone. First rejection came at 100.38 (Fib + zone stack = confluence). Selling into that pressure was smart. 3. Didn't Chase the Fade The huge red bar after 09:50 might’ve baited less disciplined traders to chase puts. You stayed out — great discipline. 📈 Opportunities to Refine: 1. Final Push Exit The top wick around 09:48 hit a near-perfect Fib + zone confluence. If you left runners, it was a peak area to scale out. Consider setting an OCO or target just below that level. 2. Re-entry Short at Breakdown? At 09:55, AMD broke below VWAP with volume. Could’ve been a short opportunity using the same Avinacci zone (from above) as resistance. Not necessary, but something to review if you missed it live. 3. Volume Confirmation Volume started fading after 09:45. That drop in momentum aligned with price topping out. If you weren’t already trimming — this was your early warning. 🔧 Coaching Notes: Element Grade Coaching Note Setup quality ✅ A Premarket coil → breakout → clean levels Entry timing ✅ A Right on the launch above Avinacci 33% Exit logic 🟡 B+ Very good, but could milk a bit more with limit ladder Risk behavior ✅ A No chasing or impulsive fades Volume awareness 🟡 B Watch declining volume to time trims 🔁 How to Level This Up: Screenshot trades like this often. This is gold for pattern memory. Consider automating 2/3 scale-out targets using your 3R hotkey if you aren’t already. Keep anchoring your Avinacci zones to 8:00AM candles — it’s clearly powerful in your execution flow. -

Here is the First Version output Analysis from ChatGPT: https://chatgpt.com/canvas/shared/67fee3c2c94c819185168e854bf1ed3d Grok coming soon. i am almost finished answering the questions Grok asked me for clarification before it renders an analysis. -
Thanks for sharing Michael. I am really interested in the outputs you get. This is a great idea and one I have been playing around with as well. However, yours is a little more sophisticated. I haven't read the bigegst looser so not familiar with the premise of its style, but still curous as to what it will output. -

i added three more visuals to the data to be integrated. AI replied that it was no problem "If you’ve got more refinements or system upgrades, keep ’em coming."
