Recognia is a third-party web site that opens within StreetSmart Edge® and provides chart pattern recognition and customizable event screeners. You can have up to 8 Recognia windows open across all open layouts at once.
Get more information by visiting Recognia in the Quick Reference Guide.
In the Recognia window, you can choose between three tabs:
- Featured Ideas™ is a component of Technical Insight™ that displays trade ideas based on strategies that incorporate technical and fundamental analysis, and are backtested to demonstrate the historical performance.
- The backtesting feature displays the criteria which make up the underlying strategy of the Featured Idea. You can also test how that strategy would have performed over the past five years, with or without the use of trailing stops.
- Click through event lookup for a visual green/red summary of all the bullish and bearish Technical Events that are still active on the instrument of interest.
- Anticipated Events™ is designed to help traders identify and alert traders to possible technical events. It provides trading alerts from over 40 different technical events and helps identify patterns that may be in the process of forming via classic patterns, indicators, and oscillators.
- If there are Anticipated Events identified for a symbol, an anticipated events link will display in a yellow box under the Technical Events section of the Summary tab within the Technical Insight tab in Recognia. Click the anticipated events for a detailed list of events including opportunity type, price threshold, and target price range, if identified.
