How to Use FloAI for Trading Questions

FloAI can answer questions on trading concepts, market structure, and your EdgeFlo setup. This article explains how to structure your questions effectively, when to use FloAI for trading guidance, and includes real example prompts you can use or adapt.

The quality of guidance you get from FloAI on trading topics depends almost entirely on how you frame the question. A broad question gets a broad answer. A question with specific context about your session, your setup, and the exact decision you are facing gets something that reads like it was written for you. This article covers how to get to that second type of response consistently.

The Three-Part Prompt Structure

Every time you bring FloAI a trading question, give it three pieces of information. You do not need to use any particular format or label them. Just make sure all three are present somewhere in what you type.

Context: What session are you in? What instrument are you trading? What setup or strategy are you using?
Emotional state: How are you feeling right now? Calm, anxious, frustrated, uncertain?
The specific problem: What exact decision are you struggling with or what do you need clarity on right now?

FloAI uses these three inputs to give you an answer calibrated to your actual situation rather than a textbook response.

Example using all three:

"I'm trading London session on EURUSD using a pullback setup. I feel anxious. I just took a loss and I'm not sure whether I should take the next setup that has appeared at my point of interest."

Compare that to: "Should I take this trade?". The first prompt gives FloAI everything it needs. The second gives it almost nothing.

Pre-Session: Locking In and Getting Ready

One of the most effective ways to use FloAI is before you open a chart. The goal is to arrive at your trading session in execution mode, not overthinking mode. You know your plan. You just need to articulate it clearly and get a focused reminder of the rules that matter most today.

Pre-session prompt format

Share your session context, your bias, your core rules, and then ask for a specific output. Here is a template:

"Pre-market check. Today I'm trading [instrument] during [session]. My bias is [bullish/bearish] because [brief reason]. My rules are [list your key rules]. Give me three discipline reminders to keep top of mind and one no-trade warning to watch out for."

FloAI will respond with reminders and warnings that are tied to the exact context you gave it. You will get things like: trade from your specific point of interest only, hold your risk parameters mechanically, and a clear description of the FOMO scenario that would most likely pull you off your plan today.

Read the response before you open your charts. Close the FloAI tab. Trade your plan.

Mid-Session: Checking a Setup or Decision

During a session, FloAI is most useful as a quick sanity check. You are looking at a potential trade and something feels off. Or you are not sure if this setup genuinely meets your criteria or if you are convincing yourself it does.

Making a decision binary

Ask FloAI to reduce the decision to a binary output. Give it your criteria and the specific setup, then ask it to check whether the conditions are met.

Example: "I'm in London session on Gold. My rules say I only enter after a liquidity sweep, displacement, and a retest of the internal range low. Price has swept the previous high and shown displacement. It hasn't retested yet. Should I wait or is this close enough? Make this a binary answer."

FloAI will not make the decision for you, but it will run through your stated conditions and flag exactly which one is or is not met. That is often all you need to get clear.

Getting a pre-trade checklist

You can also ask FloAI to give you the checklist you should run through before clicking the button. Describe your setup type and ask it what questions to answer before entering.

Example: "What should I review before entering a pullback trade? Walk me through the checklist."

Post-Session: Finding the Pattern, Not the Story

After a session, most traders tell themselves a story about why things went the way they did. FloAI is useful for breaking that story down into an actual pattern and turning it into a rule.

Post-session prompt format

Give FloAI the raw facts of your session. Trades taken, what happened, what you did well, what went wrong. Then ask for a specific output rather than general feedback.

Example:

"Post-session review. Today I took three trades. Made 1.2R overall. Best moment: I waited for my point of interest and executed clean on trade one. Worst mistake: I cut trade two early out of fear even though the structure was still valid. Give me one pattern you see, one lesson, and one rule for tomorrow."

That structure, one pattern, one lesson, one rule, is deliberately narrow. FloAI produces its most actionable responses when you constrain the output rather than asking for general feedback.

Asking About EdgeFlo Features

FloAI is trained on the EdgeFlo system and can explain how any part of the platform works. If you are unsure how Edge works, what TradeGuard does, or how the EdgeScore is calculated, ask FloAI directly.

Example prompts:

"How does the Edge module work in EdgeFlo?"
"What is an EdgeScore and how is it calculated?"
"How do guardrails work in TradeGuard?"

These questions do not require emotional context or session detail. They are knowledge questions and FloAI handles them well on their own.

Five Ready-to-Use Prompts

Situation	Prompt to use
Starting the day	"Help me get into execution mode. Here's my plan today: [your plan]. Here's my biggest risk today: [what could pull you off plan]. Give me three reminders before I trade."
Unsure about a setup	"Make this decision binary. Should I take this setup or skip it? [describe the setup and your criteria]"
Finding a repeating mistake	"I keep making the same mistake: [describe it]. Based on what I'm telling you, what is the pattern I'm repeating and how do I break it?"
Turning a mistake into a rule	"My mistake today was [describe it]. Give me one if-then rule to prevent it tomorrow."
Post-session review	"Here's my post-session review: [trades taken, what worked, what went wrong]. Give me one pattern, one lesson, and one rule for tomorrow."

When FloAI Gives You a Generic Response

If the answer you receive feels like it could have been written for anyone, the fix is in how you follow up. Try one of these approaches:

Tell it to give you one answer only, not a list of options.
Add a constraint: "Use only the context I've given you, not general trading advice."
Ask it what information it needs to give you a more personalised response.
Ask for questions instead of answers: "Ask me what you need to know to give me specific guidance."

Frequently Asked Questions

Can FloAI predict market movements?

No. FloAI doesn’t make market predictions or directional calls. Instead, it guides you to analyze your own bias from market structure.

Does FloAI track current market conditions or news?

No. FloAI lacks access to live data, news, or economic events. For real-time updates, use the News module in EdgeFlo or your charting platform.

Can FloAI review my Edge trade plan?

Yes. You can paste or describe your trade plan for FloAI to check for logic, clarity, or rule gaps. It can’t access saved plans directly.

What if FloAI’s advice conflicts with my trade plan?

Your trade plan rules take priority. Use FloAI’s feedback as a prompt for reflection, not as a replacement.

How detailed should my mid-session prompt be?

Provide 2-4 sentences describing your instrument, bias, what you’re observing, and your specific question for best results.
