  • •The prompt fills timeframe with "daily" by default. Change it before you send, or the answer is written for that case.
  • •To steer the Trading Chart Generator, add one line after the prompt about your situation: your level, your goal and anything to avoid.
  • •Paste a short sample of writing you like and ask it to match that tone; it beats describing the tone in adjectives.
