Educational read, not advice.
The Crow's Nest

The read, the levels, and the history.

The Crow's Nest sits beside your chart and keeps up as the session builds. Every read is descriptive and traceable: the same for every user looking at the same market, an informed opinion, never a signal.

Read tab

The day, named as it builds.

Opening type, day type, and if/then lines, in plain words.

The Crow's Nest Read tab: the day's state, the VWAP and POC relationship, the structure tags, and the open, close, and value fields, labeled Educational read, not advice
LIVE SCREENSHOTEducational read, not advice.
Levels tab

The levels with unfinished business.

Naked VPOCs, poor highs and lows, gaps, and single prints, each with its distance, age, and evidence.

The Crow's Nest Levels tab: balance areas, a confluence score, and the magnet map of untested levels with distance, age, and evidence
LIVE SCREENSHOTES, one session of history loaded
Stats tab

What followed, with the count.

What changes when the software reads.

Most platforms will draw you a profile. The difference is everything that happens after the drawing.

ANSWER
Do I need to already know auction theory?

No. Every read is written in plain words, and tapping a structure chip shows its definition. The Learn library covers the concepts from the first profile up, and Replay and the Session Debrief let you practice on past days before you ever read one live.

ANSWER
Is this trading advice, or a signal service?

Neither. CutlassEdge describes the auction: what the structure looks like, which levels are untested, and what has historically followed, with the sample size shown. It is the same impersonal, educational read for every user looking at the same market. It never tells you to buy or sell, and the standing line under the read says so.

ANSWER
What data do I need?

For the live read, a supported live feed. For study, import CSV history with no account at all, or start with the built-in sample data offline. The Download page lists the supported feeds and what each one enables.

ANSWER
Can I run it on two computers?

Yes. One license activates on two computers, a desktop and a laptop, say. Switching machines is self-serve: deactivate on the old one, activate on the new one. Your workspaces, notes, and plans live on each computer, and Backup lets you carry them over.

ANSWER
Does my data leave my machine?

No. Your charts, your history, your notes, and your plans stay on your computer. After activation the app works offline for up to 30 days at a time; it needs a brief connection at least every 30 days to recheck your license.

ANSWER
Can I cancel?

Yes, any time, from the customer portal, with no hoops to jump through. Refunds follow the Refund Policy.
