AI, charts and honest trading.https://wicko.ai/https://wicko.ai/blog/tradingview-alerts-to-telegram/https://wicko.ai/blog/tradingview-alerts-to-telegram/To send TradingView alerts to Telegram, create a bot with @BotFather, add it to your chat, and paste the Telegram Bot API link as the alert's webhook URL with a JSON message that holds your chat ID and text. Webhooks need a paid TradingView plan and two-factor login. A relay app such as Pipedream adds formatting but still needs the paid plan. To skip webhooks entirely, use an alert tool that watches the chart and posts to Telegram itself.Fri, 30 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://wicko.ai/blog/what-is-a-liquidity-sweep/https://wicko.ai/blog/what-is-a-liquidity-sweep/A liquidity sweep is when price pushes just past a level where many stop-loss orders sit, triggers them, and then closes back on the other side of the level.

A small independent test in April 2026 found three AI vision models called chart direction right 51 to 57% of the time, statistically no better than a coin flip, and got 1 in 215 pattern calls right. AI reads charts well when it works from the price data behind the chart instead of the picture.Tue, 27 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://wicko.ai/blog/why-your-ai-backtest-looks-too-good/https://wicko.ai/blog/why-your-ai-backtest-looks-too-good/AI-built backtests usually look too good for four reasons: the strategy was tuned on the same data it was tested on, many variations were tried and only the best one was kept, the test used information that would not have been available at the time, and trading costs were left out or underestimated. Each of these can be checked before you risk money.Tue, 27 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT
