Chart filters are a Premium feature that lets you narrow the pool of charts served to you in Solo mode. Instead of receiving a completely random chart, you can filter by market cap, volume, and price pattern to help you can focus your practice on the specific setups and conditions that matter to your strategy.
Even with filters applied, charts remain anonymous. You still won't know the ticker or time period. The filter changes which types of charts you see, not whether you can identify them.
Why Use Chart Filters?
Filters are useful when you are working on a specific strategy. For example, if you are practicing breakout trades, filtering for the Breakout pattern means every chart you see will feature that setup — letting you get concentrated reps on that one pattern rather than waiting for it to appear randomly.
How to Apply Chart Filters
- From the dashboard, open Solo Play
- Select the Filters tab in the bottom container.
- Select your desired filters and click Next Chart. Charts served will match your selected filters.
- To remove filters, click Clear Filters and Next Chart.
Filter Types
Market Cap Filter
Filter charts by the market capitalization of the underlying stock—large-cap, mid-cap, or small-cap. Large-cap stocks typically have smoother, more liquid price action. Small-cap stocks may exhibit more volatile, erratic moves. Practicing across different market cap ranges helps you understand how stock size affects chart behavior.
Through out a stock's history, it's market cap fluctuates. The system selects stocks during periods when they meet your market cap filter.
Volume Filter
High-volume charts may show stronger, more decisive moves. Low-volume charts may produce choppier, less reliable signals. We use a 30 day moving average of volume to prevent the system from including stocks that happened to have a one-day volume spike

A Note About Chart Filters
There are two important things to understand about filters:
- Some filters are more difficult to code than others. As a result, they may include chart patterns other than the pattern you are trying to filter by. The goal of the filters is to help you find the tartget pattern more often. Don't expect them to work perfectly on each chart.
- Not every pattern will resolve as expected. For example, let's say you are practicing continuation patterns with the cup and handle filter. Some charts may continue as expected and others may fail. This forces you to stay on your toes and evaluate every pattern on its own merit. Otherwise, you aren't building a skill, you're simply memorizing formulas.
