Questions

Questions people ask.

Plain answers about the tools, your money and your account.

Trading involves risk of loss. Sightline Labs makes software, not financial advice.
Before you start

Sightline Calibrate shows you what you ask for. Ask it for the most money and it will find settings that made the most money on your stock's past days. But bigger rewards come with bigger risks, and past days don't promise anything about today.

Our advice: pick a low risk level and use Safest first. Don't chase the biggest profit number. Ten good trades can be wiped out by one bad one.

Play the long game. Small, steady wins add up. All trading carries risk, and that never goes away.

Getting started
I've never traded before. Can I use this?

Yes. That's who we built it for. The manuals walk you through every click, with pictures. Start small, and only trade money you can afford to lose.

What does Sightline Labs make?

Three tools, as easy as A-B-C. Sightline Alert is a bot on TradingView that watches your stock and signals buys and sells. Sightline Bridge (optional) sends those signals to TradeStation so trades are placed for you. Sightline Calibrate studies your stock's price history and suggests settings for your bot.

Which stocks and chart time frames work?

Any stock on TradingView, on any time frame. Calibrate tests from the start date and time you set in Sightline Alert, so load a chart that covers that.

Will I make money?

We can't promise that, and nobody honest can. Calibrate's suggested settings are based on past prices, and the past doesn't predict the future. Any trading can lose money.

Is this financial advice?

No. Sightline Labs makes software. You decide how to use it.

Bots and limits
What's a bot?

Each copy of Sightline Alert you run on a chart is one bot. One bot watches one stock.

What does my plan's limit mean?

It's the most money each bot can use. On the $500 plan, each bot stays at or under $500.

How many bots can I run?

As many as you like, on any plan. The only cap is how many alerts your TradingView plan allows. Trade one stock with $500, or run a dozen bots each with a $500 limit. Make sure your brokerage account has enough for all of your bots.

Trades and your account
Who places the trades?

Without Sightline Bridge, you do: your bot signals, and you place the order in your brokerage account. With Bridge, the order is sent to your TradeStation account for you. Either way, the account and the money are yours.

Does Sightline Labs connect to my brokerage account?

No. Sightline Labs never sees your brokerage account. If you use Bridge, it runs on your own Windows computer and connects to TradeStation with your own login.

Does my trade information go through your servers?

No. Your bot runs in your TradingView account, Alerts reach Bridge on your computer through a tunnel you set up (ngrok, or your own such as a Cloudflare Tunnel), and your computer sends each order straight to TradeStation. We never see, handle or pass along your trades. Calibrate runs on your own computer, and your chart files are never uploaded anywhere.

Does Bridge set my take profit?

Yes. When a buy goes in, Bridge also sends a limit sell at your take profit price, so your exit is waiting in TradeStation. A limit order only fills if the price reaches it.

What if I buy shares myself in TradeStation?

Bridge picks up your manual buys and updates the resting sell order to cover every share you hold.

My alert stopped. What do I do?

On fast-moving stocks, your bot can trade very quickly. TradingView stops any alert that fires more than 15 times in 3 minutes, as a safety limit. Open the alert in TradingView and click Restart.

Where do I see what Bridge is doing?

On your computer. Bridge has its own dashboard there, not on our website. Scan the QR code in the dashboard to open Bridge on your phone. From your phone you can see live trade stats, turn Bridge on or off, and close trades by hand.

What does Calibrate do with my files?

Nothing leaves your computer. Calibrate runs on your own computer. Your chart files are never uploaded anywhere, and the results aren't stored by us.

Will Calibrate slow down my computer?

You decide. Calibrate finds your processor and lets you choose how many threads it uses and how high a priority it gets, so you can keep working while it runs.

Why isn't the best pick the setup that made the most?

The best pick fits the risk level you chose. A setup that would have made more on past prices may have needed deeper buys, left more deals stuck, or had worse bad days. Calibrate weighs those against your risk level.

What's the difference between Optimized and Pro?

Optimized sets up the search for you based on the risk level you pick, then shows the best pick and the settings to enter. Pro lets you set every search option yourself and see every setting in the results.

Billing and account
When is my card charged?

When you subscribe, Stripe charges your card for the first month, then once a month after that. Your access is added by hand shortly after payment, so give us a little time before it shows up in TradingView.

How do I cancel?

Go to your Account page and click Manage billing. You can cancel there, switch plans, update your card or download receipts. No email or phone call needed. Your access stays on until the end of the month you've paid for, then ends on its own.

What if I change plans?

We add the Sightline Alert copy for your new plan first. Set up your alerts again on the new copy, because a TradingView alert belongs to one script. We remove the old copy for you. If you move up, Stripe charges only the difference for the days left in your month.

Do you take coupon codes?

Not at checkout yet. If you have one, email [email protected] before you subscribe.

I forgot my password.

Email [email protected] from the address you signed up with, and we'll sort it out. The site can't send password reset emails yet.
