How to run a live trading class without screen sharing

There is no screen share here, because there is no picture to 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.

That is not a setting somebody has to remember to leave off. Traderise has no way to capture your screen at all, so there is no screen share to start and no button that would start one.

Traderise runs in a web browser.

What crosses the room is the drawing, not the pixels

A drawing is something the whole room shares, not a frame of video. When you add a line, move it or delete it, your students see the same change on their own charts straight away.

Your students 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.

Every cursor on the chart shows the name of the person moving it. The name sits right under the arrow, so it stays on the chart at any window size, and a student asking about "the candle after the gap" has something to point at.

You decide who may draw - rank by rank, not person by person

The controls are named on the rank itself, in the same words the Ranks tab prints. Add/Remove Drawings decides who can put a shape on the class chart at all; 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.

The same list holds See Other Users’ Cursors, which decides whether a student sees the rest of the class on the chart or only you, and Send Chat Messages and Start Voice Chat, which do the same job for the other two channels in the room.

What a lesson leaves behind, and what it does not

A room owner or admin can record a session. Everyone in the room sees a red Recording dot while it runs, anyone with a microphone is told and can switch to listening only, and listeners are never recorded. Nobody’s screen is ever captured. The voice message in the room chat records the sender’s own microphone and nothing else, the way any messenger does.

Even without a recording, the chart stays. 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.

The one thing a screen share does that a room does not

Worth knowing before you plan a lesson around it: a room does not promise "you see what I see". There is no room-wide symbol, timeframe or viewport sync, and no presenter role - symbol sync exists only between one person’s own split panes, on their own screen.

So "go to the 15-minute" is said out loud once, and a student who zooms in to read a candle does not drag the class with them. If what you actually need is a projector everybody stares at, this is the paragraph that tells you so.

The chat and the voice are in the room, not in a second window

Nobody has to open a second window to talk. 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.

A class on phones as well as laptops

On a phone the chart carries a toolbar of its own - drawing tools, interval picker, layout picker - and the drawing button on it reads the same Add/Remove Drawings control the desktop one does. A rank you set before the lesson means the same thing whichever screen a student turns up on.

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, and seats are counted on the room you host rather than on the rooms your students join.

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.

The plans, and what each one can do, are on the pricing page.

Questions

Can I share my screen in a Traderise room?

No, Traderise cannot share your screen at all. The chart itself is what the class shares, so what your students see is the chart you are both drawing on, not a video of your desktop.

Is the lesson recorded?

Only if a room owner or admin records it. Everyone in the room sees a red Recording dot while it runs, anyone with a microphone is told and can switch to listening only, and listeners are never recorded. The replay keeps the voices, the chart, the drawings and the chat, for people who can enter the room. Nobody’s screen is ever captured.

Can I stop a student drawing on the class chart, mid-lesson?

Yes, and it is a rank rather than a per-person switch. Turn off Add/Remove Drawings for a rank and nobody holding it can put a shape on the room chart; turn off Edit Drawings and they cannot move one that is already there. You can change a rank while the room is open.

Does everyone in the room see the same symbol and timeframe as me?

No. There is no room-wide symbol, timeframe or viewport sync and no presenter role, so a student who zooms in does not drag the class with them, and "go to the 15-minute" is said out loud once.

Do my students have to install anything?

Traderise runs in a web browser. A free account can join any room it is invited to; hosting a room of your own starts on a paid plan.
