AI Search is the natural language query engine built into the StratAlerts setups table. Instead of manually configuring column filters, you type what you’re looking for in plain English — using the same Strat terminology you already think in — and the system translates it into structured filters that update the table immediately. It’s designed to let you move fast: a two-second query replaces several clicks of filter configuration. To open AI Search, click the AI Search icon in the setups table toolbar, or press the keyboard shortcut shown next to the icon. The search input appears above the table. Type your query and press Enter — the table filters update in real time.
AI Search is part of the StratAlerts app and does not require a separate AI Tools subscription. It runs inside the app and works against the live setups table.

How it works

When you submit a query, StratAlerts parses your natural language input and maps it to structured filter conditions on the setups table. The mapping preserves Strat-specific terminology so you don’t need to translate it yourself.
1

Type a plain English query

Use Strat terminology naturally — candle types, timeframe names, setup conditions. The parser understands both shorthand (2U, 2D) and expanded forms (two up, inside day, in force).
2

The system translates to structured filters

Your query is converted to specific filter conditions: candle type (CC, C1, C2), timeframe, TFC state, in-force status, and similar fields. The translation is shown so you can verify what was applied.
3

The setups table updates instantly

The table refreshes to show only the symbols that match your query. From there, you can sort, click into individual symbols, or add additional manual filters.

Example queries

These examples show the query you type and the filter conditions it maps to:
Query: all inside daysTranslates to: CC = 1 on Daily timeframeReturns every symbol currently forming an inside day — a candle contained entirely within the prior candle’s range. Useful for identifying coiled setups before a potential directional break.

Strat terminology the parser understands

AI Search recognizes the core vocabulary of The Strat methodology. You can use these terms directly in your queries:
TermMeaning
inside, inside day, 1Candle 1 — inside candle contained within prior range
2U, two up, up candleCandle 2U — up-candle, high above prior high
2D, two down, down candleCandle 2D — down-candle, low below prior low
outside, 3, broadeningCandle 3 — outside candle, both high and low exceed prior range
failed 2U2U candle that reversed below its own open
failed 2D2D candle that reversed above its own open
The parser accepts full names and shorthand:

red TFC, bearish TFCTFC state = red for the specified timeframe

Tips for effective queries

Be specific about timeframe. “2U setups” is valid, but “2U setups on the daily” returns a more focused result. If you omit the timeframe, AI Search defaults to the timeframe currently selected in the table.
Combine conditions naturally. Phrases like “2U daily with green weekly TFC” or “inside days on the 60 that are in force” work as you’d expect — the parser handles compound conditions.
AI Search is designed for standard Strat terminology. Very custom or proprietary terms outside the standard Strat vocabulary may not translate correctly. If a query produces unexpected results, check the filter summary shown below the search bar to see exactly what was applied.
