AI Trade Analyzer for Scalping Setups

This AI trade analyzer reviews a setup you enter by hand: instrument, direction, entry, stop, target and position size. The scalping page opens a general trade-review form. It can help you inspect planned risk and reward; it does not watch the market for scalp opportunities. Its AI comments and scores cannot tell you the chance of a profitable trade.

Start with the contract you actually plan to trade

A scalp is a trade intended to capture a small price movement over a short holding period. Small price differences make execution and costs especially relevant. Before entering figures, decide what the prices refer to: a share, a futures contract or an option premium. Keep every price in the same unit.

An option premium is its quoted price. For an option trade, the index level that prompted the idea is context. It is not interchangeable with the option premium. A move in the underlying index does not translate directly into an equal premium move. Describe the actual option and use premium-based entry, stop and target when checking that position.

If you need the basic relationship first, read how risk and reward are calculated. A favourable ratio describes the distances you entered. It gives no evidence that the target will be reached.

What the Quick form asks for

• Instrument and Long/Short: identify the instrument and whether the proposed position benefits from a rise or fall.
• Entry, Target and Stop Loss: enter your own planned prices. The form does not discover these levels for you.
• Lots or Qty: index choices use a stored lot multiplier; Stock/Equity uses share quantity. Check the live contract quantity separately.
• Capital: Quick mode divides the planned rupee loss by this amount to calculate Risk %. Enter the account amount you intend to use for this comparison.
• Strategy: choose the description closest to your idea. Selecting a strategy does not prove that the chart meets its conditions.

The Quick cards show Risk, Reward, R:R (risk-to-reward ratio) and Risk %. These are calculations from your entries. Risk means the assumed loss if execution occurs at your stop; Reward assumes execution at your target. Neither card is a forecast or a maximum possible loss after costs.

A worked scalp review using shares

Here is a made-up Stock/Equity long setup: Entry ₹500, Stop Loss ₹496, Target ₹508, Qty 100 and Capital ₹100,000. These are example assumptions, not current prices or a trade recommendation.

Detailed mode also measures the stop distance relative to entry: ₹4 ÷ ₹500 × 100 = 0.8%. That differs from the 0.4% account-risk figure because each percentage divides the loss by a different amount. Read the label before comparing percentages between modes.

The example assumes the entire quantity executes at each planned price. If the actual entry or exit differs, the result changes. Brokerage, taxes and other costs still need deducting. For a brief scalp, even a modest cost can consume a meaningful part of the intended gain.

Why costs decide many scalps

A scalp aims for a small move, so the fixed costs of trading are a large part of the target. On index options, two charges can be worked out directly from published rates. Securities transaction tax (STT, a tax charged on the sale) is 0.15% of premium on options sold from 1 April 2026. The NSE options transaction charge is 0.03553% of premium on each side. Brokerage, GST, SEBI fee and stamp duty are extra and depend on your broker, so they are left out here.

Made-up example: a trader buys one lot of 65 units at a premium of ₹100 and sells at ₹104. Gross profit = (104 − 100) × 65 = ₹260. Sell turnover is 104 × 65 = ₹6,760, so STT = 6,760 × 0.0015 = ₹10.14. Buy turnover is 100 × 65 = ₹6,500, so the NSE charge on both sides = (6,500 + 6,760) × 0.0003553 = about ₹4.71.

Those two items add up to about ₹14.85, which is 14.85 ÷ 260 × 100 = about 5.71% of the gross profit, before brokerage and GST. A trade that wins by a small margin can turn into a loss once your broker's charges are added. The analyzer's cards leave costs out, so deduct them yourself.

The win rate a given reward-to-risk needs

The R:R card compares your reward with your risk. Before costs, a plan with a reward twice its risk breaks even if about 1 trade in 3 wins: 100 ÷ (1 + 2) = about 33.3%. That is arithmetic about your plan, not a forecast of how often a setup wins. Costs push the real break-even higher, and a tighter stop usually means more stop-outs. Your own journal is the only place to learn how often your trades actually reach the target.

What Detailed mode adds, and what scores leave out

Detailed mode collects more context, including your setup reasoning, market view and checklist responses. Use those fields to explain the entry condition and what would invalidate it. State which observations came from your chart and which parts are assumptions.

A trade score combines preset rules and your answers. It is not an audited performance record. Some probability figures and expected-value figures (estimated average outcomes) rely on assumed win rates, rather than outcomes measured from this particular setup. They cannot establish a trading edge, meaning a repeatable advantage after costs.

The displayed AI confidence is built partly from how the response is structured. A well-organised answer can still contain a mistake. Do not interpret the confidence label as a measured likelihood of winning. Check every factual statement and calculation before relying on the response.

The joint investor alert on AI information explains that inaccurate inputs and invented outputs remain possible. That warning applies even when an answer sounds confident.

Futures, options and shares in one scalping form

The form accepts one entry, one stop and one target. The meaning of those prices changes with the instrument, so state it every time.

For quantity, use the lot size from the exchange's current file or your broker, never a remembered number. Lot sizes are revised from time to time, and a stale quantity changes every rupee figure on the cards.

Checks that matter before a fast trade

• Is the proposed entry still available? A price typed earlier may no longer be executable.
• Does the stop sit on the loss side of the actual position? Absolute-distance arithmetic can still look tidy when the direction is wrong.
• Have you included the full quantity? A lot count and the underlying number of units are different inputs.
• Does the planned reward survive estimated charges and a worse execution price?
• Are you entering because the setup qualifies, or because you want to recover a recent loss?

Position size has its own effect on account risk. See position-size calculations before treating a small price distance as a small financial exposure. For the review after closing, a scalping journal can hold the planned prices, actual executions and reason for any deviation.

Typing a stop into this analyzer does not place an order. In a broker’s order system, an activated stop can execute at a different price, while a stop-limit order may remain unfilled. The SEC’s stock-order bulletin explains this distinction; check your own broker’s rules for the instrument you use.

What to record for every scalp

Scalps happen fast and memory blurs them, so a short record per trade is more valuable here than for slower styles. These fields make a scalping review possible.

• Time in and time out, so you can see holding time and the part of the session.
• Planned entry, stop and target, and the actual fills. The gap between them is your slippage (the difference between the planned and actual price).
• Whether the trade was a planned setup, a re-entry or a reaction to the last trade.
• Charges for the trade, taken from your contract note once available.
• Your state before entry in one word, such as calm, rushed or trying to recover.

Add a weekly count of how many scalps you took, how many followed the plan and how many ended near the planned stop or target. Our guides on keeping a scalping journal, scalping versus intraday trading and indicators people use for scalping go further. To size positions, see how to calculate position size.

Overtrading and the scalper's trap

Fast trades give many chances to repeat a mistake. Three losses in ten minutes can lead to a fourth trade taken to recover them. The journal helps if you record the time between trades and the reason for each one. Look for a rule you can check later, such as a pause after two stop-outs in a row. The guide on avoiding overtrading has more ideas. OneTradeJournal's behaviour flags can highlight bursts of trades, but they cannot stop an order at your broker.
