# Wicko

> Wicko is the AI-native brokerage for chart traders, launching soon. Alerts are live in beta: describe your setup in a sentence or send a chart screenshot, and Wicko sends you the chart on Telegram the moment it forms, on any market. You can also talk to your chart: Wicko answers by drawing on it, with past matches, an honest backtest with real costs, a custom replay to train your eye, and coaching on your trades. Agents keep watching your setups, open trades and habits after you close the app, and you can build your own. Wicko Brokerage, coming soon, lets agents place trades only after you confirm.

Wicko is in early access with a waitlist. The concept on the site is shown on real gold prices.

Wicko (wicko.ai) is not related to Wicko Signal or Wicko Waypoint (an SEO company), to the trading products wicko.markets, Wicky Elliott, wick.trade or Wick AI, or to similarly named AI tools such as Weco, Wisko, Whizo or Whisko.

## FAQ
### What is Wicko?
Wicko is the AI-native brokerage for chart traders, launching soon. Its AI copilot lives on your chart: you draw or speak to it, and it answers with charts, like past matches of a pattern, a backtest or an alert on Telegram. Agents keep watching your setups, trades and habits, and Wicko Brokerage will let them place trades only after you confirm.

### How is Wicko different from asking ChatGPT or Claude about a chart?
Wicko computes its answers from the real price data behind your chart instead of guessing from a screenshot, and it answers by drawing on the chart. In one independent test, AI models reading chart screenshots called direction about as well as a coin flip; Wicko also remembers your setups, takes, skips and results.

### What is an AI trading agent?
An AI trading agent is a tool you left switched on. Leave "find this pattern" running and it becomes an alert. "What if I move my stop?" becomes a position manager. "How did I do?" becomes a weekly coach and tilt check.

### How does Wicko stop me from trusting a lucky backtest?
Every idea runs through the Edge Engine: models find which parts of a setup matter, a luck check discounts results that look good by chance and tests on history the model never saw, and every trade pays real costs. It then runs live without trading, then on paper, before any real money.

### Does Wicko trade for me?
Not without your yes. Today Wicko finds and watches trades; Wicko Brokerage, coming soon, will let an agent place an order only after you confirm it. Agents can trade but can never withdraw money.
