PT Card

Last updated: 7 April 2026

What is a PT Card?

PT stands for Price Technical. For every stock query, a PT Card is provided as part of the visual analysis. It delivers a real-time snapshot of price behavior, mapping key levels, momentum, and immediate risk/reward. Every card is generated fresh to ensure data accuracy.

Price Levels

The bar maps the current price structure at a glance. Five fixed levels, two dynamic overlays, and a current price marker, all on one track.

Price Bar Example

Current: 198.50

SL 176.20

SUP 184.80

P 190.00

RES 196.40

TG 204.60

Label	What it means
TG	Target. Upside destination if momentum continues and buyers stay in control.
RES	Resistance. The first ceiling. When price breaks above RES with volume, it becomes the new floor.
P	Pivot. The neutral midpoint. Above P = buyers in control. Below P = sellers in control.
SUP	Support. The first floor. Price tends to bounce here. A break below SUP with volume is the first warning sign.
SL	Stop Loss. The hard floor. If price closes below SL, the trade thesis is broken.

Day range and open-to-current overlays

Two overlays sit on the track beneath all level dots. The lighter gray band shows today's trading range (low to high). The purple band shows the move from open price to current price, so you can see at a glance whether today is an up or down day and how far it has moved.

How the levels are calculated

Finance Dupes uses a rolling pivot methodology, not standard Fibonacci or fixed-period pivots. The pivot updates as market structure shifts and filters out intraday spikes, so the levels reflect where price has actually reacted.

Indicators

Five indicators shown as rows below the bar. Each covers a different dimension of the trade: trend direction (EMA50), momentum strength (RSI), momentum confirmation (MACD), volume conviction (VOL), and entry quality (RR). Each row follows the same pattern: key : number | label | arrow. The number gives context, the label names the state, and the arrow shows the direction of change.

Exponential Moving Average (EMA50)

Example

EMA50:

+8% | Above |

Each row has three independent pieces of information: how far price is from EMA50 (%), which side price is on (Above / Below / At), and which direction the EMA50 line itself is sloping (arrow).

% distance

+8% Price is 8% above the EMA50 line. Negative % means price is below.

Position

Above Price is trading above EMA50 — buyers in control

Below Price has fallen through EMA50 — sellers in control

At Price is testing EMA50 directly — decision point

Slope (arrow)

Bullish EMA50 sloping upward — trend intact

Bearish EMA50 sloping downward — trend weakening

Neutral EMA50 is flat — no clear directional bias

Note: Above + Bullish = trend intact, Above + Bearish = still above but weakening, Below + Bullish = recovering but not confirmed yet

Relative Strength Index (RSI)

Example

RSI:

71.8 | Overbought |

RSI shows a number (0–100), a zone label, and a direction arrow. The zone and the arrow are independent. Overbought + Rising arrow is completely different from Overbought + Falling arrow.

Zone

Overbought >70 — momentum stretched, snap-back risk rises

Neutral 40–70 — healthy range, room to run

Oversold <30 — depleted, possible bounce but can stay oversold in downtrends

Trend (arrow)

Rising Momentum building, regardless of zone

Falling Momentum draining, regardless of zone

Stabilizing Momentum levelling off

Note: Overbought + Rising = still running, don't exit prematurely, Overbought + Falling = warning momentum leaving, Neutral + Rising = good entry window

Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)

Example

MACD:

+2.341 | Bullish |

MACD shows the value, the direction (Bullish/Bearish), and whether the histogram is expanding or contracting. Bullish + expanding arrow means momentum is confirmed and accelerating. Bullish + shrinking arrow means the move is real but losing steam.

Direction

Bullish MACD above signal line, upward momentum confirmed

Bearish MACD below signal line, downward momentum confirmed

Histogram (arrow)

Expanding Momentum accelerating

Shrinking Momentum losing steam

Flat Histogram stable — direction holding but not accelerating

Volume (VOL)

Example

VOL:

1.87x | Active

Volume as a multiplier versus the 20-day average. Price moves on light volume can reverse easily. Moves on heavy volume have institutional backing.

States

Active >1.2x — above-average, real conviction behind the move

Moderate 0.8–1.2x — normal activity, watch for confirmation

Inactive <0.8x — thin volume, treat all price moves with extra caution

Risk / Reward

RR tells you the shape of the bet before you take it. A great tag and strong indicators still don't justify a bad entry, if you're already near the target, the math doesn't work.

How it's calculated

Distance from current price to SL (the risk) versus distance from current price to TG (the reward). Shown as Risk : Reward, so 1:2.4 means risking 1 to potentially gain 2.4.

Lower Risk

1 : 3.20

For every $1 of risk, $3.20 potential gain, entry well-positioned

Higher Risk

1 : 0.87

Risking more than you stand to gain, entry too late or price near TG already

Lower Risk 1:3.0+ — reward significantly outweighs risk

Moderate 1:2.0–2.9 — decent setup, reward edges out risk

Higher Risk <1:2.0 — risk outweighs or matches reward, consider waiting for a better entry

Setup Complete Price has passed the target — setup is complete, no new entries

Setup Invalid Price is below the stop loss — thesis is broken

Entry timing changes RR completely

Two people holding the same stock can have completely different RR profiles, simply because they entered at different prices. RR is always calculated from the current price, not your entry.

PT Tags

Each PT Card shows one or more coloured tags at the top. A tag appears when price position, momentum, and volume meet a defined threshold. No single indicator triggers a tag on its own. PT tags are organised into six groups.

How to Read a PT Card

Start with the tag. Everything else is supporting context.

Read the tag first

The tag is the verdict. Buy Zone = setup ready. Standby = wait. Stay Out = avoid. Tap the tag if you don't recognise it, a mini card explains it.

Find price on the bar

The purple dot is current price. Above RES = extended. Between P and RES = neutral zone. At SUP = potential entry area. Below SL = thesis broken.

Scan EMA50 + RSI arrows

Both arrows up = healthy momentum. Any arrow down = caution. When EMA50 and RSI disagree, check MACD as tiebreaker.

Confirm with VOL

A Buy Zone tag with Inactive volume deserves extra skepticism. Real breakouts need volume behind them.

Check RR last

Good tag, strong indicators, poor RR, wait. Price may pull back to a better entry. Good RR means the levels line up in your favour before capital goes at risk.
