# LLM Session

Each session executes automatically at a defined interval and produces an analysis result based on your configuration.

LLM Sessions can be used for:

* Market commentary
* Strategy reasoning
* Context-aware trade evaluation
* AI-assisted decision support

> Chart input is **optional**.\
> For visual chart analysis, see **Chart Setup**.

***

### 🛠️ How It Works

On each run, an LLM Session sends the following to the AI:

* Your **custom prompt**
* System context (when available):
  * Symbol
  * Timeframe
  * Last action
* **Optionally:** a chart image with indicators

The AI processes this information and returns a structured or free-form analysis, depending on your prompt.

***

### ⚙️ Core Configuration

#### Name

Optional.\
If left empty, a name is generated automatically.

***

#### LLM Connection

Select the AI model used for this session.

* **Text-only sessions** → Any supported model
* **Chart-based sessions** → Image-capable (vision) models only

Model compatibility depends on whether **chart input** is enabled.

***

#### Analysis Period

Defines how often the session runs.

Available intervals:

* 1 minute
* 3 minutes
* 5 minutes
* 15 minutes
* 30 minutes
* 1 hour
* 2 hours
* 4 hours
* Daily

***

#### Prompt

Defines what the AI should do.

Prompts can be:

* Descriptive (“Summarize market conditions”)
* Analytical (“Evaluate trend strength and momentum”)
* Strategic (“Assess whether conditions favor continuation or reversal”)

You may use **free-form natural language**.

***

#### Send Email

Enable this option to receive the analysis result by email after each run.

***

### 📊 Chart Input (Optional)

LLM Sessions can optionally include a **chart image**.

* When enabled, the AI receives a visual chart with indicators
* When disabled, the session runs as **text-only**

Chart configuration is handled separately.\
See **Chart Setup** for details.

***

### 🧾 Output & Results

Each session run produces an output that is:

* Stored and viewable in the platform
* Timestamped for historical review
* Optionally sent via email

LLM Sessions do **not** execute trades by default.

***

### 🔍 What LLM Sessions Are *Not*

* ❌ Not automatic trading
* ❌ Not guaranteed signals
* ❌ Not raw market data processing

For AI-generated trade signals, use **Chart Analysis with Signal Generation**.

### 🧠 Best Practices

* Keep prompts **clear and focused**
* Match the analysis period to the chart timeframe
