W Analytics vs. TrendSpider
TrendSpider automates technical analysis: it draws trendlines, patterns and Fibonacci levels, scans markets, backtests strategies and runs bots. W Analytics adds a forward view. The Kellan Projection (%K) charts where price is likely headed and when it’s likely to turn, and a daily Net Bias call says how much exposure to carry, with a published track record. Many traders will want both, and TrendSpider users can add the W Analytics Suite straight to their charts from the TrendSpider Store.

The gap
Descriptive → Predictive → Prescriptive
Most trading software describes what price has already done: charts, indicators, and increasingly an AI that reads those indicators back to you. W Analytics is built for the next step: where price is likely headed, when the turn is likely due, and how much exposure to carry.
Descriptive
Charts, indicators, scans and AI summaries of what already happened. TrendSpider automates this layer extremely well.
Predictive
A view of what might happen next, rarely committed to or measured.
Prescriptive
A forward path, the likely turn, and a daily exposure call with a public record. This is W Analytics.

What W Analytics adds
One terminal. The prescriptive layer.
The Kellan Projection (%K)
Charts the path price is likely to follow for any symbol, with projected peak and trough timing and target bands. W Analytics’ own method, developed over eleven years and unrelated to the stochastic oscillator’s %K.
Net Bias exposure call
One decision each morning: how much exposure to carry, from cash up to 1.6x, long-only.
AI copilot and morning brief
Answers from the terminal’s own signals and projections, not the open web, plus a plain-English brief every morning.
Off-screen alerts
Push and email alerts on stance flips, setups and projected turns, even with the terminal closed.
The proof
A track record you can audit
Net Bias is walk-forward tested on the S&P 500 back to June 2021, using only what was known at each morning’s open, and tracked live since June 2, 2026. Every session counts, including the years it lagged.
Results before June 2, 2026 are a simulated walk-forward replay; all results are before costs. Full record and methodology.
Fair comparison
Where TrendSpider is stronger, and how to use both
Where TrendSpider is stronger
- Depth of charting automation: auto-drawn trendlines, patterns and Fibonacci levels across timeframes.
- Build-your-own tools: no-code backtesting, scanners and trading bots for traders who design and automate their own strategies.
- Ecosystem: broker integrations and a store of community-built strategies and indicators.
Using both
They answer different questions, and they work together. TrendSpider helps you find setups and automate the strategies you design. W Analytics tells you where the market is likely headed, when it’s likely to turn, and how much exposure to carry. The W Analytics Suite is available in the TrendSpider Store, so you can put the Kellan Projection, the daily Net Bias stance and the pre-market brief on your TrendSpider charts, alongside the W Analytics Mover Swings + CCI scanner.
Questions
W Analytics vs. TrendSpider: common questions
Can I use W Analytics inside TrendSpider?
Yes. The W Analytics collection in the TrendSpider Store includes the W Analytics Suite (the Kellan Projection, the daily Net Bias and tactical stance, a pre-market brief and a core-markets dashboard on one overlay, covering the S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow, VIX, gold, the dollar, oil and 20-year Treasuries) and the W Analytics Mover Swings + CCI scanner, which covers roughly 530 of the largest US stocks. The full W Analytics Terminal adds the Kellan Projection on any symbol, the AI copilot and off-screen alerts.
Is W Analytics a TrendSpider alternative?
It can be, but it’s built for a different job. TrendSpider automates technical analysis and strategy building. W Analytics provides a forward projection (the Kellan Projection, %K) and a daily exposure call with a published track record. Traders who mainly want a forward view and a daily decision may use W Analytics on its own; traders who build their own strategies often use both.
Does TrendSpider publish a track record like W Analytics?
TrendSpider gives you tools to backtest your own strategies. W Analytics publishes the record of its own Net Bias call: walk-forward tested back to 2021 and tracked live since June 2026, with every session counted.
Which is cheaper?
