WHY RED CANDLE

Your own data, working for you

Pattern search on your MT5 history, a journal that stays private, and AI that explains the chart from real numbers.

01Similar Patterns

Look up how this chart played out before

Red Candle scans years of your MT5 candles for moments shaped like the last 20 to 50 candles. See how many continued, reversed or went sideways, how far price moved, and open any match side by side with today.

02Private by Design

Your trades never reach our servers

Your journal, chart screenshots and MT5 candles live in a database on your own computer. We can't see your strategy, your results or your mistakes, and the app keeps working offline for up to 14 days.

How we handle your data
03AI Analysis

AI that reads your chart from real numbers

Red Candle measures trend, support and resistance from your candles, then AI explains them in plain words. Use ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude with your own key, or a free local model with Ollama.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Red Candle see my trades?

No. Your journal, screenshots and MT5 candles are stored only on your computer. Our servers keep your account and license, nothing about your trading. If you connect a cloud AI, what you ask it to analyze goes straight to the provider you chose, with your own key.

Where are my trades and chart screenshots stored?

Everything is stored on your computer — the app’s database and your screenshot folder. Backups go to Documents › Red Candle Backups.

Can I use my subscription on more than one computer?

One subscription unlocks one active computer at a time. You can click “Move to This Computer” when switching computers (up to 3 times per 30 days).

Does Red Candle work offline?

Yes. Your license is checked on your computer, so the app keeps working offline for up to 14 days after its last online check.

Do I need a paid AI subscription to use Red Candle?

No. Auto Trend, levels, and Similar Patterns run 100% mathematically without AI. For AI explanations, connect a cloud AI with your own API key for better results. A free local model via Ollama or LM Studio also works, but small models around 3B can misread charts.

Is there a free trial?

No — Red Candle is paid from the start: $30/month or $324/year. You can cancel any time in the customer portal.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. Your first subscription payment is refundable on request within 14 days — email billing@redcandle.tech with your account email and order number. Renewals are reviewed case by case. Refunds go back to your original payment method and usually appear on your statement within 5–10 days. See the Terms of Service.

What happens if my subscription ends?

Red Candle switches to read-only: your journal, trade details, CSV export and backups stay open. Logging, imports and AI pause until you renew.
