New Chart Analysis Guide
It's now even easier to access the advanced pattern recognition capability of Autochartist through our PureDeal trading platform, with a wealth of new information available on our website.
We'll also be hosting a series of weekly articles direct from Autochartist, discussing interesting market patterns and the best way to take advantage of these in your trading. With three topics covered each week, our Autochartist articles provide the benefits of expert chart analysis and throw the spotlight on significant trading opportunities from the commodities, forex and indices markets.

What is Autochartist?
All active IG Markets account holders have free access to Autochartist’s powerful chart-analysis software, providing a simple yet effective way to gauge market potential.
Technical analysis made simple
It's easy to get started – just log into PureDeal and select Autochartist from the 'Tools' menu. The easy-to-use software automatically analyses the markets and detects a wide range of emerging patterns, grading them objectively for quality and clarity through a sophisticated set of criteria. Autochartist also examines recent market activity for completed patterns, predicting the effect on future movement.
Guides and seminars
The new Autochartist section of our website is full of information on how to start using the software, as well as weekly analysis of current charts and an in-depth guide to chart analysis for those looking to learn more about the discipline. You can learn how to read a pattern report, how to create custom searches and the best way to utilise different types of trending or non-trending patterns.
Alternatively, our Chief Market Strategist David Jones has recorded an online seminar for Autochartist, demonstrating the tool's features and showing you how to use its customisable search facility to identify emerging and completed patterns for your chosen markets.
Weekly articles
On our website you can also find weekly updates from Autochartist, focusing on patterns of particular interest within the commodities, indices and forex markets. These in-depth articles will discuss the features and future prospects of individual patterns, and examine how Autochartist's analytical criteria allows you to identify the best course of action.
By recognising the formation and completion of common historic data patterns, without any recourse to market sentiment or subjective opinion, Autochartist enables you to consider the market’s likely direction and plan your trading strategy objectively.
