Shape Search
Draw the shape you’re hunting for — a double bottom, a breakout, the turn you remember — and see which charts are tracing it right now, each with the precedent record behind it.
How a sketch becomes a search
A sketch has no prices and no dates, so only its shape counts. Chart Echo stretches your drawing across the window you choose — 30, 60 or 90 daily sessions — and compares it on a percentage basis, so a 10% swing reads the same in a $5 stock as in a $500 one. Only the line you drew is compared: there are no candles or volume in a sketch, so none are scored.
The shape match blends two tests: whether a chart rises and falls with your line point for point, and whether it makes the same turns even if one arrives a few sessions early or late, the way people draw from memory.
Today’s charts or all of history
Today’s charts compares your sketch with the most recent sessions of every chart in the latest Radar scan, so you see who is tracing it now. Each match carries what that chart’s own closest precedents did next, from its full Radar window.
All of history searches the archive of past daily windows for the shapes closest to yours and shows what those charts did over the following sessions: the share that rose or fell, the median move, and the middle half of outcomes. Every card is read at the same horizon as the summary.
How Shape Search relates to Echo Radar
Shape Search and Echo Radar read the same daily scan from opposite ends. Radar starts from the market: once a day it matches every S&P 500 stock and top cryptocurrency against the historical archive and ranks the charts whose precedents lean clearly bullish or bearish. Shape Search starts from you: you bring the shape, and “Today’s charts” finds which charts in that same scan are tracing it, including the many that never make Radar’s ranked list.
Every Today match carries the read Radar found for that chart: its lean, up/down split, median move and number of analogs. A match marked “On today’s Radar” passed Radar’s evidence bar and was published as a setup; a weak read leans one way, but on too few or too divided precedents for Radar to publish it. Shape alerts use the same scan: each new Radar run re-scores your saved sketch and tells you when a chart starts tracing it. “All of history” is the one part that doesn’t use Radar — it searches the archive directly.
What the precedent read means
Both views report a base rate from similar-looking history, not a forecast, and they report it even when history is split.
