Tutorial Scenario

Let's say you're considering buying NVDA but want to understand its current setup, risks, and whether it fits a momentum or mean reversion strategy. We'll use AI to analyze it comprehensively.

Analysis 1: Current Technical Setup

Get instant technical analysis of any stock:

  1. Open the AI Assistant (sidebar or press Cmd+Shift+A)
  2. Type your query:

    Your Query:

    "Analyze NVDA's current technical setup. Is it bullish or bearish?"

  3. Press Enter and wait 3-5 seconds for analysis

AI Response Example:

NVDA Technical Analysis (Current Setup):

Current Price: $487.50
Trend: Bullish (price above 50 MA and 200 MA)

Key Indicators:
• RSI (14): 58 - Neutral zone, room to run
• 50 MA: $465 (support, +4.8% above)
• 200 MA: $420 (strong support, +16% above)
• MACD: Bullish crossover 3 days ago
• Volume: Above average last 5 days

Assessment: Bullish structure intact. Price consolidating after recent rally. RSI not overbought. Good setup for momentum continuation.

Support: $465 (50 MA), $450 (prior high)
Resistance: $500 (psychological), $520 (prior high)

Analysis 2: Which Strategy Fits?

Ask AI which of the 4 strategy templates would work best:

  1. In the same AI conversation, type:

    Your Query:

    "Based on this setup, should I use momentum, mean reversion, or breakout strategy for NVDA?"

AI Response Example:

Recommended Strategy: Momentum

Reasoning:
NVDA is in a confirmed uptrend (above both MAs) with bullish MACD and room to run (RSI 58). This is ideal for momentum trading - riding the existing trend higher.

Entry Approach:
Wait for a small RSI pullback to 45-50 (minor dip), then enter on bounce. Or enter now at market if you're comfortable with current levels.

Why Not Mean Reversion: Stock isn't oversold or stretched. Mean reversion looks for RSI < 30 and price at lower BB - not the case here.

Why Not Breakout: Already broken out and trending. Breakout strategy catches moves FROM consolidation - this has already started.

Analysis 3: Risk Assessment

Ask about specific risks and how to manage them:

  1. Continue the conversation:

    Your Query:

    "If I buy NVDA at $487, what stop loss and take profit should I use?"

AI Response Example:

Risk Management Recommendations:

Stop Loss: $465 (50-day MA support)
• Risk: -4.5% or -$22/share
• Rationale: If 50 MA breaks, uptrend weakening
• On $10,000 position (20 shares): Max loss $440

Take Profit Options:
• Conservative: $510 (+4.7%) - Quick 1:1 risk/reward
• Moderate: $520 (+6.8%) - Resistance level, 1.5:1
• Aggressive: Use 1% trailing stop, let it run to $550+

Position Size:
If you have $100k and risk 1% per trade ($1,000), you can buy 45 shares at $487 with stop at $465 (45 shares × $22 = $990 risk).

Analysis 4: Compare Multiple Stocks

Use AI to compare stocks side-by-side:

Your Query:

"Compare NVDA, AMD, and AVGO. Which has the best technical setup for a momentum trade?"

AI Response Example:

NVDA

RSI: 58 • Above MAs

★★★★☆ Strong

AMD

RSI: 72 • Above MAs

★★★☆☆ Overbought

AVGO

RSI: 45 • Pullback

★★★★★ Best

Recommendation: AVGO is the best setup - RSI pullback in uptrend. NVDA is good too. AMD is overbought - wait for pullback.

AI Query Best Practices

💡 Be Specific

Instead of "Tell me about AAPL", ask "Analyze AAPL's RSI on daily chart for last 30 days"

💡 Provide Context

"I'm considering swing trading MSFT. Analyze whether it's a good momentum setup right now with $10k position"

💡 Ask Follow-ups

The AI remembers context. Build on previous answers: "What if I used a tighter stop?" or "Show me support levels"

💡 Always Verify

Check AI's data by viewing the chart yourself. AI provides analysis, but you make the final decision.
