AI trade plan generator:entry, stop, targets.

Five parts, always in this order. The order is the point: the condition comes before the entry, and the invalidation comes before the targets, because that is the sequence in which a plan can be refused.

The direction condition

Not a direction, a condition. "If price closes above the 104 zone and holds it on a retest" is a plan. "Bullish" is a mood. The condition is what tells you the setup is not live yet.

The entry zone

A zone rather than a single price, because the level price reacted to was itself a zone. Quoted with the structural reason it sits where it does, so you can disagree with the reason rather than just the number.

The invalidation level

The price at which the idea is wrong and the plan is over. It comes from structure, from the swing that would have to break, not from a round percentage or a fixed pip distance.

The targets

The levels price would have to work through if the condition holds, in the order it meets them, with the reaction that makes each one a real level rather than a wish.

The risk frame

The distance from entry to invalidation, the reward to risk that the first target implies, and the reminder that position size is yours to set from your own account and risk percentage.

A plan without an invalidation level is not a plan

This is the whole argument, so it is worth stating slowly. A trade idea becomes a plan at the moment you name the price that proves it wrong. Before that point you have a view, and a view cannot be sized, cannot be compared with another view, and cannot be exited by rule. It can only be exited by feeling, which is where most accounts are lost.

The invalidation also does something less obvious: it makes the plan refusable. When you know the idea costs a distance of X to test, you can look at your account and decide the trade is not worth taking at all. Most bad trades are not bad reads, they are reasonable reads taken at a size or a distance that never made sense. The number that lets you notice this in advance is the invalidation.

Which is why the level is structural, never arbitrary. It sits under the swing low that would have to break for the idea to be over, or above the swing high, or at the far edge of the zone price reacted from. Choosing it from a round percentage means it carries no information about the chart. See how to set a stop loss for the mechanics.

What makes a plan invalid

Read a generated plan against this list before you do anything with it. If any of the six is true, the plan goes in the bin, including one we generated.

It has no invalidation level

A plan without an invalidation level is not a plan. It is a prediction with no exit condition, which means it can never be proven wrong and can therefore never be sized.

The invalidation is arbitrary

A stop placed at a round two percent, or a fixed number of pips, is a budget rather than a level. If nothing structural sits there, price passing through it tells you nothing.

The entry and the invalidation are too close together

When the two prices sit inside normal noise for that timeframe, the plan is a coin flip with commission attached. Widen the timeframe or leave the chart alone.

The condition has already happened

If the screenshot is old, or price already moved through the trigger, the plan describes a setup that no longer exists. Recapture the chart.

The targets have no reactions behind them

A target should be a place price previously stopped or reversed. A target derived only from a ratio is a wish dressed as a level.

It ignores what is outside the crop

A screenshot has a hard edge. If a major level sits just off screen, the plan is built on an incomplete map, which is why the wider timeframe deserves its own capture.

From plan to position size

The plan stops where your account begins. It gives you a distance between the entry zone and the invalidation level, and the reward to risk that the first target implies. Turning that into a number of shares, contracts or lots requires two things a chart image cannot contain: how much money is in your account, and what percentage of it you are willing to lose on one idea. Both stay with you by design.

Do the arithmetic with the risk reward calculator and the position size calculator. For the reasoning behind the ratios, read the risk reward ratio explained and the trading plan template.

What the plan generator cannot do

• It cannot tell you to take the trade. Every output is a conditional scenario with both sides stated, and the decision is yours.
• It cannot see outside the screenshot, so a level just off the edge of the crop is missing from the map the plan is built on.
• It cannot know your account, your open exposure, your correlation across positions, or your risk tolerance unless you state them.
• It cannot account for news, earnings, macro releases or a data print landing an hour after the capture.
• It cannot estimate spread, slippage or commission, which on tight intraday distances can be a meaningful share of the risk.
• It cannot forecast. A plan is a set of conditions and consequences, not a prediction about which one occurs.

The levels the plan is built from are explained on AI support and resistance, the capture that feeds it on the chart screenshot analyzer, and the category overview on AI chart analysis.

Frequently asked questions

What is an AI trade plan generator?

It is a tool that turns a chart image into a structured written plan: the condition that would set a scenario in motion, the entry zone, the invalidation level, the targets in the order price meets them, and the distance between entry and invalidation that your position size follows from. It structures a decision, it does not make one for you.

What does a generated trade plan contain?

Five parts: a direction condition rather than a bare direction, an entry zone with the structural reason behind it, an invalidation level taken from structure, targets that sit at levels price previously reacted to, and the risk frame linking entry to invalidation. Position size stays with you, since it depends on your account.

Does it tell me to buy or sell?

No, and it never will. Every plan is framed as a conditional scenario with the argument against it stated alongside the argument for it. Bullynx is an educational analysis tool, not a broker, an adviser or a signal service.

Why does every plan need an invalidation level?

Because the invalidation is the only part of a plan that lets you size it. Without a price at which the idea is wrong, you cannot compute risk per trade, you cannot compare two setups, and you have no rule that ends the trade other than how you feel while it moves.

How do I turn the plan into a position size?

Take the distance between the entry zone and the invalidation level, decide the percentage of your account you are willing to risk on one idea, and divide. Our position size calculator and risk reward calculator do the arithmetic, including for forex pip distances.

Is the trade plan generator free?

You can upload your chart and start the flow without a card. The analysis runs on a paid subscription: Pro is $39 per month or $374 per year, Elite is $99 per month or $950 per year. There is no cardless access to the analysis itself.
