Bring in your fills from a CSV export.

  1. Add an import source for the platform you trade on.
  2. Choose the CSV export and check it. Nothing is saved yet.
  3. Import the readable fills, and Ciphora builds your trades from them.

Automatic sync is not available yet. Every provider works through a CSV export today.

The workspace

What a participant sees today

One quiet workspace: your access, the markets you follow, the signals they produce, your connections and trades. Markets open only after research proves them, and until then the page says so instead of showing a placeholder.

Captured from the reviewed build in a seeded test account with no personal data. No market is available to follow in this capture, so the feed is empty; no account figures, trades or decisions are shown.

Across the workspace

The product stays connected from review to research.

These product views use one illustrative, non-personal dataset and clearly mark the capabilities that remain gated or planned.

Review performance and the decisions behind it.

Imported fills become a points summary, calendar and journal. The same test dataset stays consistent across both views.

Why is this backtest blocked?

Ciphora has the strategy definition, but the current historical-data entitlement does not cover this futures request. The run stays blocked and no sample result is substituted.

  1. Interval triggerMatched
  2. Data freshness conditionEvaluated
  3. Walk-forward actionWould run

Dry run only. No order, strategy status or live account is changed.

Less switching. More context.

Keep the questions that matter together: what supports the idea, what conflicts, and where it stops making sense.

Bring the chart together

See trend, volatility, session, structure, and liquidity in one reading.

See behind the score

Read the conditions behind the score, including the ones that disagree.

Keep your own perspective

Use the context alongside your own plan and risk rules.

From chart to your own decision.

Three steps to explore a reading.

  1. Observe the context

    Start with the market conditions shown on your chart.

  2. Evaluate the case

    Check what agrees, what conflicts, and the levels behind the idea.

  3. Decide independently

    Use your own plan, position sizing, and risk rules. You control execution.

Explore the research

Inside the engine

See the context before you act.

Market conditions, agreement, and key levels in a familiar view.

Understand conditions

Read trend, volatility, regime, and session context together instead of in separate windows.

Inspect agreement

See which factors support the current reading and which ones conflict with it.

Frame the decision

Keep risk and invalidation context visible beside the setup rather than adding it afterward.

Review consistently

Use the same decision framework from chart to chart and observation to observation.

Answers before you apply.

Does Ciphora give trade signals?

No. Ciphora Confluence Engine is decision support software. It organizes eight market context families into one reading, shows which factors agree and which ones conflict, and displays referenced entry, invalidation, and target levels with a rationale for each. It does not make the trading decision for you, and it does not establish a profitable edge.

What does Confidence mean?

Confidence measures how strongly current market conditions align with the engine's research-defined criteria. It is not a guaranteed outcome or win probability.

Does it repaint?

Signal timing and repaint behavior are unverified. Until verification completes, nonrepainting is not presented as a proven fact.

Is this financial or investment advice?

No. Ciphora provides software and research tools. You remain responsible for every decision, including whether to trade, how much to risk, and how to size a position.

Which markets and timeframes are in the research inventory?

The current research scope lists historical records for specific instruments on five-minute charts. This does not establish supported instruments or timeframes. Treat anything outside the listed inventory as untested.
