ChatGPT prompt for chart analysis
Asking a chatbot "long or short?" gets a vague answer. This free builder writes a structured prompt: the chatbot must read the trend, the levels on the price scale, say whether to wait, and give an entry, a stop and a target you can check.
Or try it on your chart first, no accountRead this chart screenshot. Answer in this order, one short line each: 1) Market and timeframe exactly as shown on the chart. 2) Trend: up, down or sideways, and how strong. 3) Swing structure: higher highs and higher lows, lower highs and lower lows, or mixed. 4) The nearest support and resistance prices, read from the price scale. 5) Where price sits now relative to those levels. 6) Is there a trade now, or should I wait? If wait, say what would create a trade (for example a candle close above a named level). 7) If there is a trade: direction, entry, stop loss beyond the level that proves the idea wrong, first target at the next level, and the risk to reward. I swing trade over several days, so use the main swing levels, not intraday noise. Rules: if a price is not readable, say so instead of guessing. Do not invent indicators that are not on the chart. No trade without a stop. This is for education, not financial advice.
Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini together with your chart screenshot, then check every price it gives against your chart.

Why a structured prompt works better
A free-form question gets a free-form answer that changes each time. A fixed list of questions forces a concrete answer to each one: trend, swing structure, nearest support and resistance, where price sits, wait or trade, and the levels of a plan. Each answer can be checked on your own chart.
How to use it
Fill in the market and timeframe if you want (the prompt still works without them), pick how you trade, copy the prompt, then paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini with your screenshot. Keep the candles, the price scale and the timeframe visible on the image. Use the same prompt every time so answers stay comparable.
Check the answer
Chatbots can misread small numbers on a price scale. Find each price it names on your chart, make sure the stop sits beyond the level that proves the idea wrong, and size the trade from the stop distance. A dedicated tool such as ChartEdge runs the same checklist and rules automatically and saves every report. Educational only, not financial advice.
Questions
What is the best ChatGPT prompt for chart analysis?
One that asks fixed questions in order: market and timeframe, trend, swing structure, support and resistance read from the price scale, where price is, wait or trade, then entry, stop and target with the risk to reward. The builder above writes it for you.
Can ChatGPT read the prices on my chart?
Usually, when the price scale is sharp and visible. Small or cut-off numbers are where mistakes happen, so the prompt tells it to say when a price is not readable instead of guessing.
Does this work in Claude or Gemini?
Yes. Any assistant that accepts an image can use the same prompt. Answers still vary between models, so check the levels on your chart.
How is ChartEdge different from using this prompt?
ChartEdge applies the same checklist with fixed scoring rules, gives a stop on every trade idea, says wait when there is no clear trade, keeps your reports, and pre-fills the position size calculator. 3 free analyses, no card.
