Price behavior explorer chart gives you a powerful, new way to visually understand the behavior of your trading strategy
TrendSpider's price behavior explorer is a powerful tool that helps you understand how your strategy performs from entry. Here, you can measure a wide range of statistics and also visually understand the likely path price will take from entry, which you can use to refine your strategy further.
When a the last trade in a backtested strategy is an opening trade, the price behavior explorer chart will be superimposed on the price chart at entry so you can see if price action is behaving as expected visually.

When you find a winning strategy in the Strategy Tester, you can put it to work for you in a few different ways. For example, one way is to create "Alert Me Next Time" notifications on your entry or exit conditions. Another way is to convert the entire strategy into a fully automated Trading Bot.
