TrendSpider Review – Automated Stock Trend Analysis

Recommended for all traders wanting cutting edge AI, auto trend line pattern recognition, system backtesting all at a great price.

The new kid on the block, Trendspider is doing something very different and innovative to separate itself from the crowded stock chart analysis software market.  It solves the problem of too much time spent doing analysis, drawing trendlines, tweaking indicators and analyzing timeframes.  I was immediately a fan and believe it has a bright future ahead.  We start with an overview of some of the interesting benefits.

Review Summary

Pricing and Software 10/10 – Trendspider is an HTML5 application, which means it works on any connected device, requires zero installation, zero data stream or data download configuration.  This appeals to me a lot because with a single click you are up and running.  Also, considering the complexity of the automatic calculations the application runs swiftly taking just a few seconds to complete an entire analysis.

TrendSpider has an excellent price point starting at $27 per month, which includes real-time data.  They have also expanded to cover Forex, Crypto, ETFs, and Futures, which means you can apply the stunning Auto Trend-lines and Multi Time-Frame Analysis on many different markets.  The platform is built on HTML 5 and needs Zero installation and Zero data feed configuration.  The system runs on all platforms from smartphones to PCs.  Finally, I have tested the customer support and confirm it is excellent and you have a human to chat with whenever you like.

The Elite Trade Plan is $69 per month, has everything the PRO plan has and in addition includes after-hours and pre-market data, OTC, Forex and Futures data.  On top of that, you get 20 Dynamic Alerts.

Considering you get real-time data the pricing is very competitive, in fact considerably lower than other charting software vendors.

Technical Analysis 10/10 – Packed full of innovative technical analysis tool means that TrendSpider is catapulted to the top of this list.  If you are a serious market analyst, then TrendSpider will help you do the job quicker, with better quality and help you to not miss an opportunity.  Automated trendline detection and plotting, this does a better job than a human can, using algorithms the system can detect thousands of trends-lines and flag the most important ones with the highest backtested probability of success.

The multi time-frame analysis, which means being able to view multiple time-frame charts on a single chart with the trend-lines plotted automatically.  Another great feature is the advanced plotting of support and resistance lines into a subtlely integrated chart heatmap.

Finally, Raindrop Charts, a completely unique and intuitive way to visualize volume profile or volume at price action.

Stock Systems and Back Testing 4/10 –Integrated back-testing of automated trend-lines, showing win-rate, profitability and drawdown are a new addition and warmly welcome, the team are finally propelling TrendSpider into one of the leading technical analysis packages in the industry.

Ease Of Use 18/20 – TrendSpider’s innovations means you will need a little time to understand what they are telling you.  For example, seeing hourly, daily, weekly trend lines plotted on the same chart might be confusing at first, but after applying a little effort you might find you cannot live without them.  Still an excellent score on usability.

TrendSpider’s Unique Features

Automated Trendline Detection

The automated trendline detection saves a lot of time for traders, speeds up trade preparation in the morning, and improves accuracy.  The TrendSpider algorithm uses mathematics to correlate all the bars on a chart and then draw the lines.  It highlights the touches at peaks and troughs in a price trend.  As a technical analyst, this is how you are supposed to do it, the more times a price touches the trend line and reverses the stronger the trend.  Therefore, if a price breaks through a strong area of support and resistance it is more predictive.  If you do not like a trend that the AI has used you can manually delete it or fine-tune them.  With this capability, you can have a complete trendline analysis on any chart in a few seconds.

Multi-Timeframe Analysis

Here is where is get even more interesting, the Multi-Timeframe Analysis can be used to super-impose trendlines or indicators from different timeframes onto a single chart.  It may seem a little complex at first, but when you get used to it, it makes a lot of sense.  Instead of constantly switching timeframes and redrawing trendlines it is simplý there.  It is not just for trendlines though you can use it with the array of 42 stock chart indicators to ensure you do not miss anything.  Dan Ushman the company founder uses it in his trading especially with indicators like Bollinger Bands and with trendlines which help expose things other traders miss when they are focused on one timeframe or one indicator at a time.

One thing I also really like is the price indicator analysis, you can let the application plot, name and highlight your Japanese Candlestick patterns of choice.  Want to find Evening Doji Stars, Hammers or Engulfing Patterns?  Just turn on the pattern recognition it is that easy.

How Does Automatic Trendline Detection work in TrendSpider?

Combining Multi-Timeframe Analysis and Automatic Trendlines

To show the power of the software I set up two charts.  The top pane showing the 60 minutes versus the daily chart and in the bottom pane the daily versus the weekly chart for Netflix (Ticker: NFLX).  The first thing that grabbed my attention is that you can immediately see that the shorter-term trend for Netflix is an ascending triangle.  This is a continuation pattern so we would expect the price to break out of the triangle upwards.  Trendspider nailed the trendlines perfectly on this.

Whilst reviewing the lower pane you can see the trend for the last year and Netflix is still in a solid uptrend on both the daily and weekly timeframes, 4 timeframes compared in seconds.

Advanced Support & Resistance Lines

The one thing that blew me away here is that the TrendSpider team have found a really elegant way to take the masses of computed data and overlay it onto a single chart.

Using the drop-down selector “S/R Trends” enables a kind of heat map which shows the hundreds of potential trendlines and the darker red the area the more touches and concentration of trendlines there are.  See the chart below for reference.

Dynamic Price Alerts

Dynamic price alerts on indicators and trendlines free you up from the need of staring at charts waiting for them to set up, and help you avoid emotional traps like trading out of boredom, rather than choosing the exact time to trade.  The alarms can be configured on indicator or trendline breakthroughs, bounces or touches on any timeframe.  The trade alarms can be sent to email or SMS for your phone.

NEW Feature: Backtesting

TrendSpider takes a different approach to backtesting.  Because the platform is built from the ground up to be able to automatically detect trend-lines and Fibonacci patterns, it already has an element of backtesting built into the code.

The highest probability trend-lines are automatically flagged and you can adjust the sensitivity of the algorithm that controls the detection, so show more or fewer lines.

Adding to this, they have implemented a strategy tester that allows you to freely type what you want to test and it will do the coding for you.

It is a slick and simple implementation which had me up and running in minutes.  One of the elements I really like is the ability to adjust your backtest conditions on the fly and the “Price Behaviour Explorer” and “System Performance Chart” automatically update.   You can jump into coding if you want to, but the key here is that you do not HAVE to.

Trendspider Review Summary

We have focused on what is unique about Trendspider, it is designed for a specific purpose, taking the guesswork and painstaking hours of analysis away from traders.  But what do you not get?  Well, you do not get fundamental scanning & filtering, trading from charts or broker integration.  There is no social aspect at the moment and no news service.  But it is not designed for these things, it is designed for fast effective machine-driven technical analysis.

I see a bright future for TrendSpider, for example, I expect in the near future to be able to see the analysis of how well any given indicator or price pattern actually works overall or for any given stock.  The analysis of the probability of a successful prediction would be an amazing leap forward.
