How Tralic works.
A tour in stations: what the chart shows, which confluences exist, how a chain of fixed rules becomes a finding, how training and journal work. “Next” takes you from station to station — or you scroll. Nothing here is a recommendation; everything is observation and measurement.

for traders.
Traliccio is Italian for trellis. A plant climbs it, holds on, and one day stands without it. That is exactly how Tralic is built: the chart shows you what someone who can do this looks at — until you see it yourself.
First, you learn. Twelve chapters with quizzes, exercises on the real chart and a training room with real setups whose future is hidden — first shown, then with training wheels, then on your own.
Then bring your strategy or build it yourself — Tralic tests it honestly over years, after costs and without look-ahead, and gives you a verdict from A to F. Then you see it live on the chart, through the eyes of a pro, plan your prop firm account and keep your journal.
No signals to subscribe to. No strategy for sale. What is on the chart is measured: the engine finds liquidity, structure and FVGs by fixed rules and checks itself against them. A rule is not an opinion.
Tralic is a learning and training environment. Not investment advice.
Four steps, no payment details.
New accounts are approved by hand — that keeps the group small while the training grows. You get a message as soon as it is your turn.

A chart that shows what it sees.
At the top you pick market and timeframe. Everything else happens in the chart: the engine draws the confluences, each gets a label with a number, and below in the Event log the same number says why it counts — and what was a near miss.
On the right you read the situation: price, daily change, whether the market is open, which session is running, when the next killzone starts, where liquidity sits above and below.
Positions draws the findings of your Strategy as long or short boxes: entry at the FVG, stop behind the taken liquidity, target at the next — open ones only, switchable with the button at the top. An observation of what would have happened with these numbers; the chart does not trade.
The arrow stays on the candle — you drag the label wherever it does not get in the way. Double-click resets it.
You decide what gets drawn.
The arrow next to “Confluences” opens the selection. One tick per kind — the chart remembers your choice. Lookback limits how far back completed items are still shown; Back jumps to the newest candle without discarding your settings.
What each kind means is explained below — the same sentences the Floor shows when you click a label.
Liquidity Sweep▾
What. A sweep is the taking of liquidity: price runs beyond a high or below a low where stops sit — and comes straight back.
Why it counts. Shallow means it barely went beyond. Then hardly any stops were triggered, hardly anyone was thrown out, and the move lacks fuel. If it goes too far and stays out, it was not a sweep but a real break — then the opposite direction is simply wrong.
How we measure it. Required: at least 0.6 and at most 3 units of overshoot. In between it counts as a sweep.
Structure▾
What. The structure break confirms the new direction: the last swing high or low is broken on a closing basis.
Why it counts. Without it the move after the sweep can be a mere correction. Only the break turns “price is rising right now” into “structure has turned”.
How we measure it. A wick is not enough — the close counts.
FVG▾
What. A fair value FVG is the area a displacement skipped over: three candles where the middle one runs so far that a band of price with no trading remains between the first and the third.
Why it counts. It is the evidence that someone entered with size — and it is the area in which an entry is defined at all. Thin means: the area is narrower than the normal minute noise. A stop would then sit inside what price constantly wanders through anyway.
How we measure it. The minimum width depends on the average range, not on a fixed number of points. A FVG counts as filled as soon as price has run back through it.
Level▾
What. A level is a boundary where stops sit: the high or low of the previous day, or of a session — Asia, London, New York.
Why it counts. It is not the line that counts but what lies behind it. Whoever uses a low for their exit has their stop just below it. Exactly those orders are what a sweep collects — without a level there is nothing to collect.
How we measure it. A level holds until it is swept or the next day or session replaces it.
Equal highs/lows▾
What. Two swings at practically the same price — two highs side by side, or two lows.
Why it counts. It is the same idea as the level, only underlined twice. Whoever exited at the first high puts their stop above it; whoever was in at the second does too. Orders stack up at one point, and that is exactly what makes the spot interesting.
How we measure it. “Practically the same price” means: at most a tenth of the average range apart. A fixed number of points would mean something different on gold than on the NAS100 — the same mistake the engine has recorded as number 8.
Swing▾
What. A swing high is a candle that stands higher than its neighbours on both sides; a swing low correspondingly lower.
Why it counts. Swings are the scaffold on which structure becomes measurable at all. The structure break refers to the last swing — without them there would be no reference point, only price movement.
How we measure it. Recognisable only once the candles to its right exist. That is why a swing is always marked a few candles AFTER its high, never on it — anything else would be the future drawn into the past.
Displacement▾
What. A displacement: a candle with an unusually large body that pushes the market away.
Why it counts. It is the evidence that someone entered with size — and it is what tears the FVG that you later enter at. Without it a sweep is just an excursion beyond a level.
How we measure it. Measured by the body relative to the average range: at least one full unit. Marginal means it just about qualifies.
Order Block▾
What. The last opposing candle before a displacement.
Why it counts. Someone entered there before the market left. When price returns it meets orders that have not yet been filled — which is why the area often holds a second time.
How we measure it. We look up to five candles before the displacement; further back it is no longer preparation but coincidence. The block holds until price CLOSES through it — a wick through is not enough. The five candles are a chosen setting, not tested against data.
Breaker▾
What. An order block that price has gone through and now approaches from the other side.
Why it counts. Whoever bought there is underwater and exits on the retrace. Exactly those orders make the area effective a second time — only in the opposite direction. Support becomes resistance.
How we measure it. Comes into being the moment a candle closes through the order block. The area stays the same, the direction flips.
Inversion FVG▾
What. A filled FVG that keeps working from the other side.
Why it counts. The same idea as the breaker: what was meant as support and got broken is resistance on the next approach. The area stays, the direction flips.
How we measure it. Comes into being as soon as price has run through the FVG.
Rejection wick▾
What. A candle with a long wick and a small body: price was up or down there and got rejected.
Why it counts. On its own that is nothing — wicks happen all the time. With a level above it, it is a sweep in miniature: someone tested the price and was turned away.
How we measure it. The wick must be at least twice as long as the body and at least a third of the average range. Both thresholds are chosen settings — otherwise every small candle would be a rejection wick.
Equilibrium▾
What. The midpoint between the high and low of the visible window. Above it is premium (expensive), below it discount (cheap).
Why it counts. Discount is only an argument to buy if structure allows it. In a downtrend price is low BECAUSE it is falling — cheap is not a reason there, it is the trend.
How we measure it. Holds at the right edge of the view and moves with it.
Draw on Liquidity▾
What. The next untaken liquidity above and below: a swing that price has not yet taken.
Why it counts. A target for one side — and what a setup on the other side has to collect first.
How we measure it. At least half a unit away, at most six.
Objection▾
What. What speaks against the running sequence: an expired zone, an abort, too long without completion.
Why it counts. A setup without objections is rare. The question is whether you know them before you trade.
How we measure it. Stands at the candle where the objection arose.
Killzone▾
What. The windows in which the big houses trade: the opens of Asia, London and New York.
Why it counts. The same formation counts differently depending on when it forms. A sweep in the middle of the Asian lull moves hardly any volume; the same sweep at the London open meets the orders that make the day.
How we measure it. The killzone is checked for the SWEEP only, not for what comes after. Why the gate sits there and not at the entry is a chosen setting — it has held up in tests, but it is not a law of nature.
Sweep → structure break → FVG. In the killzone.
This is the chain everything here leads up to: liquidity is taken, structure breaks, a FVG stays open — and all that in a window in which the big houses trade.
The Floor shows every link of the chain as it forms. The Findings list exactly this chain per market and timeframe, newest first, graded A/B/C — as an observation, never a recommendation. Whether you trade remains your decision and your risk.
Times in Berlin; they shift with daylight saving in New York. The Floor accounts for that.
Shown first, then yourself.
Twelve chapters with images from the real chart and a quiz — plus exercises at a random point in the real gold chart: draw the FVG, mark the sweep wick, find the break candle, order block, killzone, and at the end the whole chain. The engine compares and says how far off you were — and shows the answer.
Measures whether you are getting better — and stays silent when the number carries nothing.
The journal records your trades — from the finding card, by hand or imported from cTrader and MetaTrader. Per trade: your playbook with its checklist, how you felt at entry, what happened. The Tralic analysis finds the patterns that cost you money; with a link you go through it with your mentor. The evaluation always states the range: at 60 trades the uncertainty of the mean is still about ±0.28 R. Anyone who says “0.3 R” after 20 trades is measuring noise.
Read only — Tralic never places orders. Reading automatically from your account: coming.
One tool, several rooms.
The floor is the start. Around it is what carries a trader: your strategy with an honest backtest and verdict, a plan for funded accounts, the training and the journal.
What is not there yet is marked “coming” — without a date. We promise nothing we have not measured.
