The Luxabit coach next to your TradingView chart

Most traders plan a trade on their own chart in TradingView. The Luxabit extension puts the coach in a side panel of your browser, right next to that chart, so you can run the pre-trade check without switching to another tab.

It is the same coach as in the Luxabit app, with the same rules: it holds your idea up against your own trading plan and asks questions. It does not say whether a trade is good and does not suggest levels.

Setting it up

1. Install Luxabit coach from the Chrome Web Store. It works in Chrome and in other browsers that support Chrome extensions with a side panel, such as Edge and Brave.
2. Click the Luxabit icon in your browser's toolbar. The side panel opens. (Tip: pin the icon via the puzzle-piece menu.)
3. Not logged in yet? Click Log in, log in to Luxabit in the tab that opens, then press Refresh in the side panel. A new account first confirms the risk statement in the app.

Checking a trade from your chart

Open a chart on tradingview.com and the panel shows the instrument at the top, under Your chart. Switch to another instrument or another chart tab and it follows.

Then type your idea in your own words, the same way as in the app, for example "Long, entry 3240, stop 3180, target 3410, risk 1%". You don't need to type the instrument: the coach uses the one in your chart, unless you name another. The plan goes on the trade-plan card and the coach checks it against your rules.

Entry, stop-loss and take-profit are always what you type. The extension does not read the lines you drew on the chart, and the coach never fills in a level for you.

Conversations from the side panel are ordinary Luxabit conversations: you find them in the app, and they count towards your messages like any other question to the coach. New check starts an empty conversation; Open Luxabit opens the app in a tab, for example to see your journal.

What the extension can see

• On tradingview.com: only the address and the title of the tab. The title starts with the ticker, and the address often holds the exchange. The extension reads nothing on the page itself: not your drawings, indicators, alerts or account.
• Other websites: nothing. The extension has no access to other sites.
• Your Luxabit login: the panel shows the Luxabit app itself, so you stay logged in the same way as in a tab. The extension does not store your password or your conversations.

The extension does not place or change orders and is not connected to your broker or TradingView account. The TradingView desktop app and the TradingView mobile app don't support extensions; use TradingView in the browser, or the Luxabit app next to it.
