What it does

How Session Coach works

Most signal tools shout BUY and leave you guessing. Session Coach watches a whole library of tested setups, tells you which one fits the market right now, how well that play held up in our testing, and exactly how to get in and out. When the day goes sideways, it tells you to stop.

  1. Reads the conditions first

    The tide (daily trend), the water (your chart's trend), where price sits against the Ichimoku cloud, the time of day, and the Fed, CPI and jobs calendar.

  2. Watches 16 setups

    Shorts and longs, including 🦆 Duck Dive (Trend Pullback), 🏄 Bottom Turn (Support Bounce), 🌊 Off the Lip (Resistance Rejection), 🪂 Drop In (Breakout Retest), 🌀 Rip Current (Liquidity Sweep Reversal), 🌙 Lull & Swell (AMD Reversal), 🌊 Second Wave (Bull / Bear Flag), 🤸 Pop-Up (EMA/VWAP Reclaim) and more.

  3. Grades every play A, B or C

    Grades come from how each play held up in our own testing. A is our steadiest play, B has a thin edge, and C shows as WATCH ONLY so you can learn from it without putting money on it.

    Structure Fit: the top pick marked [A], the watch-only [C] plays below it, and the grade legend.

  4. Builds the plan

    Shares, entry, stop, a take-profit plan and what to watch for the exit, written as a ticket you can type into your broker.

    Trade Plan and Manage: the buy stop, the stop loss, the risk in dollars, and how the stop trails once you're up.

  5. Protects your day

    Surf Rules give you a daily loss limit, a max number of trades and a stop after losses in a row. Hit one and the verdict turns to 🦈 SHARK SIGHTING (Sit Out Today).

Why traders like it

Calm on the board, whatever the ocean does.

It tells you why.

Not just "buy," but which setup, why it fits today's water, and when to walk away.

It won't let you chase.

A play that fired a while ago becomes 🟡 RIDING: the entry's gone, don't chase. A play whose reward no longer justifies the risk becomes PASS.

Tested, not hyped.

The grades come from testing the popular setups as exact rules across different market years. We show you which plays held up and which to just watch.
