JAFX AI: what it can do, trade proposals and Confirm/Dismiss

Updated 13 November 2026

JAFX AI is the AI trading assistant in the JAFX web trader at terminal.jafx.com. It reads your account and market data, explains what it sees and can suggest trades. It never places, changes or closes a trade by itself. Nothing happens on your account until you click Confirm.

Opening JAFX AI

You must be signed in to the web trader. If you are not, you see "Log in to use JAFX AI." Log in, then open the assistant again.

JAFX AI opens from AI Assistant:

In the left menu: opens the full-screen AI page (terminal.jafx.com/ai).
In the footer of the Trade page: opens a chat panel on top of your workspace. The Analyse buttons open the same panel.
On a phone: select Tools, then AI Assistant.

In the panel header, Conversations lists your chats, Open full screen moves to the AI page and Close hides the panel. On the AI page, Chats lists your chats, New starts one and the cog opens the settings for your own API key. The current web trader has no pop-out window.

Type in the "Ask about markets or your account…" box. Press Enter to send. Press Shift + Enter for a new line.

You can also start a conversation from these buttons in the web trader:

Charts: "Analyse Chart".
Order ticket: "Analyse Order".
Positions: "Analyse Trade" or "Analyse All Positions".
Portfolio: "Analyse Performance", "Analyse P&L Curve" or "Analyse Month".
News page: "Follow up with AI" on an AI Market Pulse read, and Ask on any headline or calendar event.
Alerts: "Ask AI why" on a market alert.
Briefing: "Ask AI about this briefing".
AI Live Scan: "Ask AI about this".
Next event above the chart: click it to ask about the coming release.

An Analyse button sends its question in one click. If you asked the same thing in the last 15 minutes, JAFX AI shows the earlier answer with "You analysed this N minutes ago — the answer above is still fresh." Select Ask a follow-up or Re-analyse fresh.

A new chat offers four starters: Analyse a pair, Review my positions, Find a setup and Today's risk.

What JAFX AI sees

JAFX AI works only from live data. It does not make up prices or account numbers. It reads:

your trading account details, open positions and trade history
live quotes and chart candles
prepared chart analysis and market briefs
the economic calendar, news and market pulse

In detail, it reads your balance, equity, free margin, today's profit or loss, leverage and account currency. It also reads your open positions and pending orders, and your closed trades from the last 366 days at most. It reads only the trading account you are logged in to. It has no access to your wallets or to your other trading accounts. Under each answer, the line "Sources · …" names what it read, for example "live quote", "open positions" or "economic calendar".

It does not remember previous conversations. To use something from an earlier chat, tell it again.

What it can and cannot do

It can:

Answer questions about markets, your positions and your account.
Explain chart patterns, indicators and news events.
Review your trading performance.
Propose a trade: a new order, a change to an open position (for example its stop loss or take profit), or closing a position.

It cannot:

Place, change or close a trade without your confirmation.
Tell you a proposal has been placed when you have not confirmed it.
Deposit, withdraw or transfer money. Use the client portal at app.jafx.com for those.

It stays on trading. JAFX AI helps only with trading on JAFX. That covers markets, prices, charts, news and events, trading concepts, risk and position sizing, your own trading account, and how to use the web trader. It declines anything else in a sentence or two, for example recipes, travel, homework, emails, translation or writing code. Asked for a trading bot, it points you to the Developers page instead of writing one.

Under the message box you always see: "AI assistant — informational only, not financial advice. It can make mistakes." Check prices and figures against the chart and your Positions before you act.

JAFX AI is not financial advice. JAFX does not give advice, make recommendations or manage accounts for clients. JAFX AI follows the same rule:

Its analysis is educational only. It does not give trading signals or recommendations.
A trade proposal is a suggestion for you to check.
You decide whether to trade, and you are responsible for every trade you confirm.

For leverage, margin call, stop-out and negative balance risk, see Margin, margin call, stop-out and risk terms.

Trade proposals: Confirm or Dismiss

When JAFX AI suggests a trade, it shows a proposal card in the chat. The card names the instrument and the action (for example BUY MARKET, SELL LIMIT, MODIFY or CLOSE).

Check the instrument, direction (buy or sell), size, price, and any stop loss or take profit.
Read the At risk if stopped line. It shows what the trade loses if its stop loss is hit, in your account's currency and as a percentage of your balance. The card also shows the risk-to-reward ratio (R:R).
Click the Confirm button to send the order. The button names the action, for example Confirm BUY MARKET. Click Dismiss if you do not want it, and nothing is sent. If you click neither, no trade happens.

The card also shows the entry, stop and target prices, a bar with the live price ("now …") between your stop and target, and Why these levels. A yellow line warns of anything to weigh first. The At risk if stopped figure leaves out costs: "Spread, commission and slippage are extra." JAFX AI always tells you the trade still needs your confirmation, for example "Nothing goes to the broker until you press Confirm."

After Confirm the card reads "Sending to JAFX Terminal…", then "Sent to JAFX Terminal · #" and the ticket number. If it reads "Confirmed, but the JAFX Terminal result was not recorded — check your Positions", check Positions before you do anything else.

A proposal expires after 10 minutes. An expired card shows "Expired — ask the AI for a fresh proposal"; ask JAFX AI again if you still want the trade.

After you confirm:

The order goes through normal order processing, like any order you place yourself. It is not guaranteed to fill at the price on the card.
The order can still be rejected. If it is, you see the reason, for example "Rejected by the dealer". For the full list, see Web trader orders, charts, portfolio and account statements.
Check the Positions and Orders panels to see what was actually opened, changed or closed.
A confirmed trade is your trade. To undo it, close or change the position yourself. You can also ask JAFX AI for a new proposal and confirm that.

Sizes and safeguards. JAFX AI uses a calculator and your live account data to work out each proposal's size and its At risk if stopped figure. Each proposal is checked before its card is shown:

A change or a close must match a position you actually hold.
A partial close cannot be larger than the position.
A stop loss on the wrong side of the price is refused.

A proposal without a stop loss carries a warning that the loss isn't capped. There is an upper limit on the size JAFX AI may propose.

Usage limits

JAFX AI has a rolling 5-hour allowance and a weekly (rolling 7-day) allowance. They count for the trading account you are logged in to. Neither resets at a fixed time: older use stops counting as time passes.
Allowances count how much you use JAFX AI.
Each trading account has its own allowance. Your chats and a saved API key also belong to the trading account you were logged in to.
See where you stand under "Your usage limits".
"Usage limit reached" means the allowance has run out. Wait for it to refill. Only JAFX AI is affected, so you can keep trading in the web trader.
"Thread turn limit reached" means the conversation is too long. Start a new conversation.

The Your usage limits panel is at the bottom of the chat list. It shows two bars, 5-hour and Weekly, each with the percentage used and "resets in …" (or "no usage yet"). Its help tip reads: "JAFX AI is free, with two limits: what you used in the last 5 hours and in the last 7 days. Older use stops counting as time passes." At a limit, the panel shows "5-hour limit reached" or "Weekly limit reached". The chat shows "Usage limit reached on the 5h window (… / … tokens). Resets in …" with the time left.

Using your own API key

You can add your own Anthropic API key ("Use your own Anthropic API key for unlimited usage"). Usage then runs on your key instead of the JAFX allowance. Any costs from Anthropic are between you and Anthropic. Keep your key private and never share it with anyone. If you remove your key, you go back to the JAFX shared usage limits.

To add a key, select the cog in the JAFX AI header. Once you have reached a limit, you can also select Use your own key → in Your usage limits. Paste the key under Paste API key and select Save key. JAFX checks the key with its provider before saving it. The window states: "Your key is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM and never sent back to the browser after you save it." Afterwards only its last four characters are shown. Remove key deletes it. A key applies only to the trading account you were logged in to when you added it.

JAFX AI is in the web trader only

JAFX AI is part of the web trader (terminal.jafx.com). It is a trading assistant: it analyses markets and your trading, and can propose trades for you to confirm. It is not for account matters such as deposits, withdrawals, verification or settings.

The client portal (app.jafx.com) has no AI assistant. For help with your account, select Chat in the portal to reach our support team, or email support@jafx.com.

If something doesn't look right, such as a trade you did not expect, contact support at support@jafx.com or by live chat. If you can, include the time of the conversation and the trade or position details. We are available 24/7 via live chat or email.
