IG chart analysis

Screenshot your IG chart, get a graded trade plan back.

SnapPChart reads an IG chart screenshot the way you do, the candles, the levels, and whatever indicators you have on the chart, then returns a setup grade, entry, stop, targets, and the main reason it could fail. No account connection, no API, no plugin or add-on. It reads the picture you upload, so it grades the actual setup on your IG chart instead of touching your account.

Quick answer

How do you analyze an IG chart with AI?

You screenshot the chart in IG and upload the image. SnapPChart reads the screenshot directly, the candles, trend, support and resistance, volume, and any indicators you have on the chart, then grades the setup A+ to F with an entry, a structural stop, multi-target exits, and a bear case. IG is a large global CFD and forex broker, London-based and LSE-listed since it was founded in 1974, and its proprietary web and mobile charts carry 100-plus technical indicators, 17 timeframes down to one-second and tick, 20-plus drawing tools, and economic-calendar events plotted on the chart, so this is the fastest honest answer to which AI can read an IG screenshot: you do not link your IG account, you do not connect an API, there is no plugin or add-on, and it does not route or place orders, read your live IG feed, scan the market, or predict the next candle, because the analyzer reads the picture, not your platform or a data feed. It is also different from IG's own in-app AI tools. Those surface related markets and news to research from an idea you type in; SnapPChart grades the actual chart you screenshot, returning an entry, a stop, and targets for that one setup. That also means it is platform-agnostic. The same upload works whether you chart on IG's web platform, the mobile app, or the MT4, MT5, ProRealTime, or TradingView charts IG offers, and the same grading checklist runs on every screenshot so a strong setup and a weak one get judged the same way.

What the AI Returns From a Screenshot

Use the output as a repeatable pre-trade checkpoint, not a prediction.

A-F Setup Grade

See whether the setup has enough pattern clarity, momentum, volume, and reward to justify the risk.

Entry, Stop, Targets

Get a structured trade plan with entry zone, invalidation level, targets, and risk/reward.

Screenshot-Based Read

Use charts from TradingView, Webull, ThinkOrSwim, MetaTrader, Robinhood, or any broker.

Risk Notes First

The analysis flags extension, messy chop, weak retests, thin reward, and conflicting indicators.

Workflow

From IG screenshot to graded setup in one upload

You do not connect your account or rebuild the chart. Screenshot it in IG, drop the image in, and read the grade.

  • Screenshot any market on any timeframe in IG (web platform, mobile app, or its charting)
  • Upload the image, with no account connection, no API, and no plugin or add-on
  • The analyzer reads candles, levels, volume, and the indicators visible on your chart
  • Read the A+ to F grade, entry, stop, targets, and the bear case
  • Take the A and B+ setups, skip the rest, and screenshot the next chart

SnapPChart vs a general AI chat assistant for chart screenshots

Most traders land here after pasting a chart into a general AI tool and getting a vague description. Here is how a purpose-built screenshot grader compares for the last decision before you risk money.

IG Chart Analysis FAQ

How the AI reads an IG screenshot and what it returns.

How do I analyze an IG chart with AI?

Screenshot the chart in IG, then upload the image to SnapPChart. A multimodal vision model reads the candles, trend, support and resistance, volume, and any visible indicators directly from the picture, then returns a setup grade, an entry, a structural stop, targets, and the main reason the trade could fail. You do not type out what the chart shows or connect your IG account.

Is SnapPChart an IG plugin or account integration?

No. There is nothing to install, no API to connect, and no broker account to link. SnapPChart reads the screenshot you upload, so it works with IG without being part of it. That is on purpose: reading the image instead of your platform or a data feed is what lets the same tool grade a chart from IG, MetaTrader, ProRealTime, TradingView, or any other platform.

How is this different from IG's own in-app AI?

IG's own in-app AI tools help with discovery, you type in a thesis or topic and they surface related markets and news to research. SnapPChart does a different job: it grades the specific chart setup you screenshot. Upload the image and you get an A+ to F grade, an entry, a structural stop, targets, and the bear case for that one trade, using the same criteria every time. The two are complementary, one helps you find ideas, the other grades the trade you are about to take.

What can I analyze from an IG chart?

IG trades forex, indices, commodities, and shares as CFDs, with crypto availability varying by region, so the price charts you screenshot for any of those markets are in scope as long as the candles, timeframe, and price scale are visible. The grader reads the price chart you are basing the trade on, not a market list, so screenshot the actual setup you want graded.

Does it read the indicators on my IG chart?

It reads the indicators that are visible in the screenshot. IG charting carries over 100 technical indicators, and if you have moving averages, VWAP, MACD, RSI, Bollinger Bands, or volume showing on the chart, the analyzer factors what it can see into the grade. It cannot read an indicator you have hidden or a setting that is not shown, because it only has the picture. Show the levels you care about before you screenshot.

Is IG chart analysis free to try?

Yes. New users get two lifetime chart analyses, no credit card required. The first analysis shows the full depth so you can see exactly what the AI returns from an IG screenshot; the second is gated to show what the paid product adds.

Does it place trades or predict where price goes next?

No. It is a pre-trade decision layer, not an autonomous trader and not a price predictor. It grades the setup in the screenshot so your process stays repeatable. It does not connect to IG, does not route or place orders, does not read your live IG feed, does not scan the market, and does not call the next candle. You stay the decision-maker.
