Chartloom full review
Chartloom costs $29 a month and scored 4.4 out of 5 for a daily chart a person can replay without writing code. The screen is the NML daily chart with the 20-day average, the range, and the volume written beside it.
The daily chart
The Chartloom screen in this review is NML over twenty sessions. The 20-day average sits at 44.80 with the last price under it. The range is 3.40, marked wide, and the volume is 1.1 million, marked ordinary. Those three readings are on the table beside the chart, so a second person can argue with them without hovering.
Replay without code
Replay steps back one session at a time and shows what the average was that day. We used it on the same NML stretch as the backtest guide. The guide's point is the year the rule lost money. Chartloom's point is that you can see the average without a notebook. At $29 a month it is the cheapest product in the trading pair. It does not fire the alert. That is Signal Orchard. Using both is $68 a month, which is the number to write down if you thought the chart included the bell.
The export
The session exports as CSV: date, open, high, low, close, volume, and the average. We opened it and checked the last close against the chart label. They matched. Chartloom does not know your tax lot and does not claim to. The 4.4 score is the clarity of the chart and the price, minus the fact that a wide-range label is the software's adjective, not a fact in the tape.
The average is a number
44.80 is the 20-day average in the example, and the last price was under it. "Under" is the whole signal. Chartloom writes the number beside the chart so you do not have to hover. The replay shows the average on the prior session. We checked one prior session against the CSV. It matched. A mismatch would be the review.
The wide-range label on a $3.40 range is the software's adjective. You can ignore the adjective and keep the range. That is why the 4.4 is not a 5. Adjectives are how a chart becomes a pitch.
Twenty sessions, checked by hand
We took the NML daily export, twenty rows, columns date, open, high, low, close, volume, and the 20-day average. The last close on the chart label matched the last close in the CSV. The average printed 44.80. We recomputed the average of the twenty closes in a spreadsheet and got the same 44.80 to the cent. The range of 3.40 was the high minus the low of the last session, not a mysterious indicator. The word "wide" beside it is Chartloom's adjective. We kept the 3.40 and ignored the adjective in the score's favor. Volume of 1.1 million matched the CSV. That is the whole audit. It took less than an hour. A chart that will not export the average cannot be audited this way, and it would not be a 4.4.
Replay stepped back one session. The average on that prior day was 44.62 in both the replay label and the prior CSV row. One prior session is not a decade. It is enough to see that replay is not a cartoon of the same frame. The backtest guide uses a longer stretch of the same symbol and includes the year the cross lost money. Chartloom will show you the average on those days. It will not force you to leave the losing trades on the page. That honesty is the reader's job, which is why the guide exists beside the review.
$29 and the bell you do not get
Chartloom does not fire an alert. Signal Orchard does, at $39. A buyer who wants a picture and a bell pays $68 and should write $68 in the budget before the first invoice. Mintcanopy has seen the chart product described as if the alert were included. It is not included. The 4.4 is the picture, the export, and the price. It is not a trading system, and the page does not become one because the average was right.
The adjective and the number
Wide is Chartloom's word. 3.40 is the high minus the low. We scored the number and ignored the word. 44.80 matched a spreadsheet average of the twenty closes. The prior session's 44.62 matched the replay. That is an hour of audit, which is what $29 should buy. It does not fire the alert. Signal Orchard does. Together they are $68, and a page that implies otherwise is wrong. Mintcanopy does not turn a matched average into a strategy. The backtest guide is where the losing dates have to stay.
An hour with the CSV
Twenty rows. The last close matched the chart. The 20-day average was 44.80 in the file and in a spreadsheet. The prior session was 44.62 in the replay and in the prior row. The range of 3.40 was high minus low. The word wide was ignored. Volume was 1.1 million. That hour is what $29 bought. It did not buy an alert. Mintcanopy sends you to Signal Orchard for the bell and to the backtest guide for the dates that lost. A matched average is not a strategy.
Ignore wide
Keep 3.40, 44.80, 44.62, and 1.1 million. Drop the adjective wide. The spreadsheet already agreed with the average, and the replay agreed with the prior row. Mintcanopy paid attention to that hour and not to the label. The alert is a different subscription. The losing dates in the backtest guide are a different page. A correct average does not promote this chart into a system.
