How to let your students draw on the same chart as you
A live stream goes one way: your class watches your chart, and the only route back is the chat box. A Traderise room is the other shape - one chart that everybody in it draws on, where every cursor carries a name and the drawings sync as they are made and moved.
The room is the chart, not a picture of the chart
Traderise is a collaborative charting platform: you open one chart with the people you trade with, see their named cursors and drawings, and chat in the room. What you share is the chart itself, not a video of your screen.
A drawing is not a picture that was posted once. Move a line two candles to the left and it moves on your students’ screens too, at the same moment it moves on yours.
Every cursor on the chart shows the name of the person moving it, right under the arrow, so a question about "this level here" has something to point at.
What your students can draw with
The same tools you have. Trend lines, horizontal lines and rays, channels, Pitchfork, Fibonacci retracement and extension, rectangles and ellipses, text and measures. Every shape stays draggable after it is drawn: grab a handle, move it, and the edit reaches the rest of the room the same way the drawing did.
You decide who may draw - rank by rank, not person by person
Two controls do this work, and they are named on the rank itself: Add/Remove Drawings decides who can put a shape on the class chart at all, and Edit Drawings decides who can move one that is already there, including yours.
Turn Add/Remove Drawings off for a rank and the drawing tools are off for every seat holding it; turn Edit Drawings off and the handles on a shape that is already on the chart stop responding for them. You can change a rank while the room is open, and it is a property of the seat rather than of a named student.
A third control sits next to them - See Other Users’ Cursors - which decides whether a student sees the rest of the class on the chart, or only you.
Why this is not a screen share
A stream is structurally one-way. There is no screen sharing in the product - the chart itself is the shared thing, rather than a picture of one being pointed at.
Traderise runs in a web browser.
The chat and the voice are in the same room as the chart, so a student who wants to ask about the level you just drew does not leave the chart to do it. The voice channel is audio only - there is no camera to turn on - and every microphone starts muted when you join.
Where the drawings are when the lesson ends
They stay on the chart. Room drawings are stored against the room and the chart they belong to, and read back when someone opens that chart again - so they are still there after the last person has left the room.
The room itself goes wherever you put it. Attach it to one of the courses you run and everyone taking that course sees it there; leave it as a Private room and it belongs to no course.
What a student needs to join
A free account. A free account can join any room it is invited to; hosting a room of your own starts on a paid plan.
Seats are counted on the room you host and never on the rooms your students join, so a class costs you one subscription and costs them nothing at all. Ten seats in a Starter room, and you are one of them. Fifty in an Elite room.
You invite by link. The room has one shareable link, and the person you send it to lands on a join page that already shows the room name, your display name and how many seats are taken before they decide.
What it costs you to open the room
Not for your first 2 days - you get a real room straight away with no card at all. After that a card is what keeps the room editable: 14 days free either way, and nothing is charged for those 14 days.
The first charge is exactly 14 days after you sign up, for the plan you chose, on the date we showed you at signup. Cancel before then and it is never charged.
The plans, and what each one can do, are on the pricing page.
Questions
Can a student move a line I drew?
Only if their rank holds Edit Drawings. Turn it off for that rank and the handles stop responding for them on a shape that is already on the chart, including yours.
Do my students have to pay to be in my room?
No. A free account can join any room it is invited to; hosting a room of your own starts on a paid plan, and seats are counted on the room you host rather than on the rooms your students join.
How do my students get into the room?
By a link. The room has one shareable link, and the person you send it to lands on a join page that shows the room name, your display name and how many seats are taken before they decide.
What happens to the drawings when the lesson ends?
They stay on the chart. Room drawings are stored against the room and the chart they belong to, and read back when someone opens that chart again.
