How Pelican Works

From your first question to personalized coaching — everything the platform does and how it learns you.

AI Chat — Ask Anything About Any Market

Type any market question in plain English. Pelican connects to live market data across 10,000+ tickers in stocks, forex, crypto, and futures.

Price checks, technicals, fundamentals, and macro analysis

Backtesting: "How does SPY perform after a 3% drop?"

Trade ideas based on your strengths and playbook performance

Education: turn on Learning Mode to highlight terms with definitions

Pelican doesn’t give the same answer to everyone. If you’ve logged trades, it knows your win rate, your best setups, and your worst habits — and factors that into every response.

Trade Journal — Track Every Trade, Spot Every Pattern

Log your trades with entry, exit, stop, thesis, and conviction. Pelican tracks your P&L, R-multiples, and builds analytics you can’t get from a spreadsheet.

Dashboard with equity curve and running P&L

Analytics by setup, day of week, conviction, holding period, and time of day

AI trade grading — Pelican reviews your execution and scores it

Link trades to playbooks to track which strategies actually work

After 20+ trades, Pelican can tell you which setups make you money, which days you lose, and whether you’re revenge trading after losses. The journal is how Pelican learns you.
