No. The app shows market information and lets you record plans. It doesn't place orders, hold funds or connect to exchange accounts or wallets.
A plan is a buy idea with three levels: an entry, a stop below it and a target above it. You can size it from an account amount and a risk percentage. The app then follows the price and records whether the entry was reached and whether the target or the stop came first.
When the app refreshes, it compares each open plan with CoinGecko hourly highs and lows since the plan was made, plus the latest price. If both the stop and the target sit inside the same hourly bar, the stop is recorded first, because the order of moves inside a bar isn't known.
R is the planned risk: the distance from the entry to the stop. A plan that reaches its target with a 2.0 reward-to-risk finishes at +2R; one that reaches its stop finishes at −1R. Results don't include fees or slippage.
If the price doesn't reach the entry within the chosen time (1 day to 1 month, or no limit), the plan closes as “Entry window ended” and doesn't count toward the hit rate.
The order book and recent trades come from Kraken's public USD pairs. If a coin has no Kraken USD pair, or that pair's price is more than 5% away from CoinGecko's, the chart uses CoinGecko candles and the order book isn't shown.
Conditions are checked on the latest closes, so results change as new hourly or daily bars form. A match describes the chart; it isn't a recommendation.
Lists refresh about once a minute while the app is open, coin pages about every 30 seconds, and the order book every few seconds. Pull down on a list to refresh it. Figures can differ slightly from a single exchange.
