Radar 61 is a market intelligence platform for active traders. It continuously scans forex, crypto, equity, index, and commodity markets, detects trade structures as they form, qualifies each one against consistent standards, and publishes it as a live forecast.

Around that engine sits a full working environment: charting, alerts, strength and correlation analytics, a macro event calendar, session clocks, a pattern reference library, and notes, all arranged in a workspace you compose yourself.

Tip: Use the sidebar on the left to move between topics in this documentation.

What a Forecast Contains

Every forecast on the feed answers four questions, so you shouldn't need a second tool to understand a setup:

  • What is setting up. The instrument, the direction, and the pattern behind the move.
  • Why it qualifies. The confidence percentage and the quality rating of the detected structure.
  • When it applies. The timeframe, the stage of the pattern, and whether it is still live or has expired.
  • Where it points. The setup level the structure is built on, and the forecast target it projects.

Radar 61 is not a black box. Every forecast shows its pattern, its levels, and its score, so you can see what you are looking at and why. See Reading a Forecast and Confidence scoring.

How a Forecast Reaches You

The process runs continuously, with no human step at any stage:

  1. Scanning. Price data is processed across every covered instrument and timeframe.
  2. Detection. Developing structures matching established formation criteria are identified and tracked through their stages.
  3. Qualification. Each structure is evaluated for quality and completeness. Structures below standard are filtered out before reaching you.
  4. Scoring. Qualified structures receive a confidence percentage and a quality rating.
  5. Publication. The forecast goes live on the feed with full detail attached.
  6. Alerting. If it matches your alert criteria, you are notified with a link to the forecast.
  7. Resolution. The forecast is tracked through its validity window and moves to the expired record when it completes or invalidates.

The Problem We Solve

Trading is one of the most demanding disciplines in the world. Skill, capital, and discipline are not enough on their own. The market does not reward effort. It rewards clarity, timing, and execution.

Radar 61 is built around six problems that active traders run into repeatedly:

  • Indicator overload. Too many tools giving conflicting readings leads to paralysis, or to decisions made on incomplete information.
  • Missed setups. Manual monitoring means opportunities disappear before the trader sees them, particularly in fast-moving or 24/7 markets.
  • Unverified patterns. Chart patterns are subjective. Human eyes see what they want to see, and unverified patterns lead to false confidence.
  • No confidence measure. Most tools tell you what is happening, not how much weight to give it.
  • Fragmented tooling. Charts in one app, the economic calendar in another, currency strength in a spreadsheet. Context switching erodes focus and speed.
  • No way to watch everything. A trader watching one chart misses five others. Scaling attention across multiple assets and timeframes manually is not possible.

What Radar 61 Is Not

Radar 61 provides market analysis and forecasts. It does not provide investment advice, hold funds, or place trades on your behalf. Detection, qualification, and monitoring are handled by the platform. Judgement, position sizing, and execution remain yours.
