Illustrative screen built on synthetic data

Shown, not claimed

A chart that explains itself, and a filter that stops it giving advice

Every figure in the summary beside this is computed from the chart it sits under. Our detectors find the range, the tests of its edge and the change in volume; the words describe only what was found. Below, try the wording check that stands between an AI summary and your clients.

For regulated brokers: Signed-off Charts

Four signatures to go-live

A compliance-signed AI chart analysis feature, live in your own platform and in your brand within 90 days, or you do not pay for the build.
  1. 1

    Day 14

    Baseline signed

    Read-only access to your charts, data and any AI feature. We return findings, a costed plan and a prototype.

    Signed by

    Head of product or CEO

    The plan, and the baseline we will measure against

    Stop here and you keep: The review report, the plan and the prototype

  2. 2

    Day 30

    Wording policy signed

    We draft what the feature may say, what it must never say and the disclosures beside it, while the build runs in fortnightly releases.

    Signed by

    Compliance lead

    The approved vocabulary, the blocked phrases and the disclosures

    Stop here and you keep: The policy, the wording check and the code so far

  3. 3

    Day 80

    Parallel run passed

    The feature runs on live charts in your environment, hidden from clients, until the pass criteria agreed at day 30 are met.

    Signed by

    CTO and compliance lead

    The parallel run results against the pass criteria

    Stop here and you keep: A working feature in your environment, with its test results

  4. 4

    Day 90

    Go-live signed

    Clients see the feature in your platform and your brand, with every output logged and a kill switch in place.

    Signed by

    Compliance lead

    The evidence file

    You keep: The code, the evidence file, the runbook and the kill switch, all yours

Stop at any gate and keep everything built up to that point. Target days are set in the plan you sign at day 14; day 90 is the date we guarantee.

Live by day 90

If the feature is not live in your platform by day 90 for reasons on our side, the build fee is refunded.

Signed off, or no build fee

If your compliance lead will not sign the feature off, you do not pay for the build.

Advice-like wording is our problem

Advice-like phrasing, price targets and predictions are blocked before display and every output is logged. Anything that gets through is fixed at no charge.

We guarantee delivery, sign-off and controls. We never guarantee trading results, and nothing we build tells a client what to trade. The full terms are written into the proposal that follows your Platform Review.

What you have on day 90

  • The feature, in your brandAI chart analysis on the charting library you already run or license, styled as your product.
  • An evidence fileWhat the feature can say, what it is blocked from saying, the tests it passed and who signed it off.
  • Wording check and loggingEvery output checked before display and stored with its inputs and model version.
  • A kill switchOne control that turns the feature off for every client, with the reason recorded.
  • Your repositoriesThe code, infrastructure and documentation are yours from day one.

Optional add-on

Chart assistant

An assistant in your platform that answers client questions about the chart, explains indicators and sets alerts, in the same approved wording, with every answer logged.

Who we work with

Three ways in, one standard

Every build carries the same controls: limits, logging, a kill switch, and wording that informs without advising.
Not for: signal services and copy-trading products; unregulated education products that hand out price targets; firms that want AI to recommend trades. We would rather say so on the first call.

Also built for: trading education platforms, fintech and trading startups, research and quant teams.

Operations agents for the back office, such as reconciliations, onboarding files, trade breaks and MI packs, are built by our sister company BraivIQ, run by the same senior team at GCL. Visit BraivIQ

Signed-off analysis

Chart analysis that informs without advising

Pattern and level detection is now expected on serious trading platforms. Drawing the triangle is the easy part. Keeping the words around it on the right side of the advice line is the work.
  1. 01

    Code detects

    Levels, ranges, patterns and regimes are found by tested code. Same chart, same answer, every time.

  2. 02

    A model explains

    A language model writes up only the facts it is given, in wording your compliance team approved.

  3. 03

    A wording check runs

    Advice-like phrasing, targets and predictions are rejected before display. You tried it above.

  4. 04

    A person reviews

    Every output is logged with its inputs and model version, so your compliance team can review any of it.

What the analysis says

What it is built never to say

Price has closed above its 20-day high for the first time since 4 March.

Price is breaking out. Consider buying.

The range has narrowed to its smallest width in 120 bars.

A big move is coming, so position now.

Volume on this bar is 2.1 times its 20-bar average.

Smart money is accumulating.

“Digital engagement practices used by trading apps, such as gamification, can increase the trading frequency and risk taking of consumers.”

FCA, research note on digital engagement practices in trading apps. Our analysis features are built to inform, not to prompt a trade.

Where exactly the line sits depends on your permissions, your clients and your compliance team. We build the controls; they set the policy.

How we build chart analysis

Three things an agency will not say

Relevant is easy. Here is the uncomfortable part.

01

Your AI chart feature is probably giving advice.

If a language model writes your summaries straight from a prompt, it has almost certainly told a client to consider buying, and you have no log that proves otherwise. Paste one of its sentences into the wording check above. If it is blocked, you have your answer.

02

We will tell you not to build it.

Most charting projects should be a library, not custom code, and most AI features should wait until the data under them is clean. The Platform Review ends in "do not build this" about as often as it ends in a plan. The fee is the same either way, and so is the report.

03

We turn down the work that pays best.

Signal services sold to retail traders, products that make investment decisions without the permissions to do so, back-tests dressed up as expected returns. We have said no to each of them, and we will again.

Where the method comes from

Built by people who have shipped into banks and trading floors

AlchmAI is part of the GCL group. Our founder and the senior team at GCL have shipped more than 50 production systems across capital markets, banking and insurance, including trading floors. That is where the method comes from: what a regulator, an auditor and a head of trading need to see before anything goes live.

Delivered by our founder and the GCL team before AlchmAI was formed. Client names are withheld under confidentiality agreements.

A note on proof: our first broker case study under the Signed-off Charts is in progress and will be published here with the client’s permission. Until then, the evidence is the method running on this page, the two engagements above and the guides in our Playbook.

Why AlchmAI

What you will not get from a generalist agency or a platform vendor

AI charting and trading automation, built by a team that works on nothing but trading and has shipped into banks and trading floors. Every build carries the same controls, whoever it is for.

Questions

Common questions

What exactly do you guarantee?

Live by day 90: If the feature is not live in your platform by day 90 for reasons on our side, the build fee is refunded. Signed off, or no build fee: If your compliance lead will not sign the feature off, you do not pay for the build. Advice-like wording is our problem: Advice-like phrasing, price targets and predictions are blocked before display and every output is logged. Anything that gets through is fixed at no charge. We guarantee delivery, sign-off and controls. We never guarantee trading results, and nothing we build tells a client what to trade. The full terms are written into the proposal that follows your Platform Review.

Who is Signed-off Charts not for?

Signal services and copy-trading products, Unregulated education products that hand out price targets, Firms that want AI to recommend trades. The guarantee also assumes a named compliance lead on your side, in-house or outsourced, and a charting library in place or licensable. Without those, the AI Wording Guard or the Platform Review on its own is the better start. Under 5 staff, or not yet regulated? Start with the Platform Review.

Do you provide trading signals or investment advice?

No. AlchmAI is a technology company. We build software for businesses that operate in financial markets. We do not give investment advice, publish trading signals or manage money for anyone. When we build AI features for clients, we design them to describe market data rather than recommend trades, and our clients stay responsible for their own regulatory permissions.

Which charting library should we use?

It depends on your licence position, your data volumes and how far you want to customise. TradingView's libraries are what most traders already know. Lightweight Charts is small and open source. SciChart is built for very large, fast datasets. We compare them properly on our Charts and AI page, and we will give you a straight answer on a call.

Can you work with our existing broker, bridge or platform?

Usually, yes. We integrate through whatever your stack exposes: REST and websocket APIs, FIX sessions, platform APIs or a read replica of your database. Scoping is where we confirm what is possible, before you commit to a build.

How do you stop an AI feature from giving advice?

In layers. Detection is done by deterministic code, not by a language model. The model only writes up facts it is given, using a vocabulary your compliance team approves. A separate check rejects outputs with advice-like wording, price targets or predictions before anything reaches a client, and every output is logged so it can be reviewed later.

What is Signed-off analysis?

Signed-off analysis is how we build AI chart features that a compliance lead can approve: deterministic code finds levels, ranges and patterns; a language model writes up only those facts in an agreed vocabulary; a wording check blocks anything that reads as advice; and every output is logged for a person to review. Two parts of it, the summary and the wording check, run live on the AlchmAI home page.

Who is behind AlchmAI?

AlchmAI was founded by Kush Chheda, who has spent more than ten years in trading technology across prop firms, FX, crypto and investment banks, including a charting engine for a trading-floor surveillance desk and the ticket library behind six trade capture applications. AlchmAI is part of the GCL group, whose senior team has shipped more than 50 production systems across capital markets, banking and insurance.

How big are the firms you work with?

Our lead offer, Signed-off Charts, is for regulated CFD and FX brokers with roughly 5 to 150 staff. Rule automation suits prop firms of most sizes, and strategy automation is for independent traders and solo founders, as fixed-scope projects.

How does a project start?

Every engagement starts with a two-week Platform Review. We take read-only access to your charts, data feeds and any AI feature, test them against what your clients actually see, and hand you a findings report, a costed plan and, where it helps, a working prototype. Fixed price, agreed before we start, and credited in full against a build that begins within 60 days. The report is yours whichever way you go. Independent traders skip the review: we agree a written spec and a fixed quote instead.

How much does a project cost?

The Platform Review is a fixed price, agreed before we start and credited against a build that begins within 60 days. Build work is quoted from the plan the review produces, so you know the number before you commit to anything larger. We are happy to talk figures on the first call.

Do you build trading automation?

Yes, for prop firms and independent traders. For prop firms, rule engines that check every account on every tick and keep the evidence. For independent traders, a strategy you have already defined, turned into code with a loss stop and a kill switch. We never design the strategy, run it on anyone's account or promise returns.

Do you build operations agents for the back office?

No. AlchmAI builds the trading product your clients see. Operations agents for the back office, such as reconciliations, onboarding files, trade breaks and MI packs, are built by our sister company BraivIQ, run by the same senior team at GCL.

Who owns the code?

You do. We hand over the repositories, infrastructure code and documentation, and we avoid building on anything that would tie you to us.

Do you only work with London firms?

No. We are based in Mayfair and work with teams across the UK and Europe, remotely or in person when that helps.
