Guides for setting up CutlassEdge, connecting your data, and reading the auction the way the software does. Screenshots and short how-to videos are being added.
Get CutlassEdge onto your Mac or Windows PC and open it for the first time.
Getting startedCutlassEdge does not come with market data inside it.
Getting startedBy now you have CutlassEdge open, either on the built-in sample data or on a live feed.
The reading layerTwo of the first reads CutlassEdge gives you are how the session opened and what shape it finished in.
The reading layerA magnet is a piece of unfinished business: a price the market left behind and has not come back to yet.
The reading layerAll through the reading layer, CutlassEdge answers one question: when the market has been in a spot like this before, what tended to happen next? The What happened next panel turns that into numbers, called base rates.
The reading layerMost of the reads look at one feature at a time.
The reading layerA single reference level is one piece of evidence.
The reading layerThe Read tab is the first tab in the Crow's Nest, and it is where CutlassEdge puts its reading of the day into plain words.
ChartingThe same session can be turned into a profile two ways: by time and by volume.
ChartingCutlassEdge is built around the trading session.
ChartingBeyond the profile itself, CutlassEdge has a handful of optional overlays you turn on in the settings rail.
Using the AppCutlassEdge can tell you when price reaches something you care about, so you do not have to watch the screen every minute.
Using the AppThe Morning Brief is a one-page, pre-open summary of everything CutlassEdge already knows about the setup: what yesterday did, what the overnight is doing, the untested levels in play, what history says about a day like yesterday, and a few if/then lines.
Using the AppThe Compass is a small read in the header that answers one narrow question: if you were weighing a long or a short right now, how good is the location? It rates each side, and only the location, never whether to take the trade.
Using the AppReplay rewinds any day you have data for and plays it forward, so you can watch the profile and every read build exactly as they would have live.
Using the AppThe Session Debrief turns a finished day into a self-guided review.
Using the AppThe Notes tab is your trading journal, built into the chart.
Using the AppThe Plan tab is where you write your own game plan for the day and let CutlassEdge watch it for you.
Reading optionsCharting screens are dense, and CutlassEdge was built by a dyslexic trader, so readability is a real feature here, not an afterthought.
