Vantom reference
Everything you need to set up, navigate, and get the most out of Vantom’s detection and reasoning pipeline.
Getting Started
Prerequisites
- ›macOS — Apple Silicon or Intel
- ›Flutter SDK not required — ships as a native .app
First launch
Vantom walks you through connecting your trading accounts on first run. You’ll link one brokerage — Webull or Robinhood — and one charting platform: TradingView, Finviz, or thinkorswim.
Each connection runs in an isolated browser view. Vantom captures the session, not your credentials.
Live market data
Vantom connects to live market data automatically — no API keys or external accounts needed.
| Asset class | Source | Included on |
|---|---|---|
| Crypto | Binance | All plans |
| US Equities | Alpaca | Pro |
| Forex | Finnhub | Pro |
On the free plan, the detection engine and AI reasoning run fully on crypto data. Upgrade to Pro to enable equities and forex across all your tabs.
Using Vantom
Opening a ticker
Press ⌘T to open search. Type any symbol, ETF, index, or query. Navigate results with ↑ ↓ and confirm with Enter. Each result opens as a new tab.
Tab management
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| New tab (search) | ⌘T |
| Jump to tab 1–9 | ⌘1 … ⌘9 |
| Cycle tabs forward | Option + Tab |
| Cycle tabs backward | Option + Shift + Tab |
| Confirm tab switch | Release Option |
| Cancel tab switch | Esc |
Views inside a tab
Each tab has three views. Panels can be stacked and resized with draggable dividers.
| View | Shortcut | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| Portal | ⌘B | Webull quote page for the active ticker |
| Chart | ⌘G | TradingView charting interface |
| Insights | ⌘N | AI verdict panel — toggle open/closed |
Insights panel
Each insight card shows the detected pattern, a confidence score from 1–10, and — when the AI has reasoned over it — a full verdict with entry type and price, invalidation level, price target, written thesis, and key risks.
Cards can be Pinned (kept across sessions) or Dismissed. OS-level desktop notifications fire for high-confidence setups when price is actively approaching the zone. Notification threshold is adjustable in Settings.
Settings
Reach settings from the gear icon in the title bar. ⌘D opens the dev menu. Currently exposes:
- ›Theme selection — 7 options, changes live
- ›Session management — sign out clears cookies and stored sessions
Understanding Signals
Vantom’s detection engine looks for three market events on every closing candle.
Fair Value Gap
A price inefficiency created when a candle moves so aggressively it skips over a range entirely, leaving an unfilled gap between the prior candle’s edge and the following candle’s edge. Active gaps represent zones where price may return to seek liquidity.
FVGs have three states: active (untouched), partial (price entered but didn’t close it), filled (discarded).
Liquidity Sweep
A move where price briefly pierces through a cluster of equal swing highs or lows — triggering stop orders — then reverses back. The reversal is the signal: it shows the move was absorption, not breakout.
Break of Structure
A candle close beyond the most recent confirmed swing high (bullish) or swing low (bearish). Signals that prior market structure has given way and momentum is committed.
How they combine
When multiple signals appear within the same price zone, Vantom treats them as a single setup and scores them together. The more signals that align, the higher the score — and the higher the score, the more likely the setup reaches the AI reasoning layer.
The highest-conviction setups — when all three signal types cluster in the same zone — are the only ones that trigger an AI-generated verdict.
Reading a verdict
Every AI verdict Vantom produces contains:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Direction | Bullish or bearish |
| Confidence | 1 to 10 |
| Entry | Limit, market, or stop, with exact price and zone bounds |
| Invalidation | The level that proves the thesis wrong |
| Target | The price objective |
| Thesis | A written explanation of why the setup is valid |
| Key risks | Specific reasons the setup could fail |
Verdicts are stored locally and queryable by ticker and date.
