# 4CM-AI Charts: start here

On a regular chart, you start from a blank screen. You draw levels by hand across five timeframes before taking a trade. In **4CM-AI Charts**, every supported market opens with the live 4CastMachine AI roadmap on your candles. You see the [Pivot line](<https://app.forecastcity.com/academy/glossary/glossary#pivot-line-main-path-and-alternate-path>), scenario arrows, and [Buy, Sell, Profit, and Reverse zones](<https://app.forecastcity.com/academy/glossary/glossary#buy-zone-sell-zone-and-reverse-zone>) right away. That cuts out manual drawing and shows [multi-timeframe alignment](<https://app.forecastcity.com/academy/glossary/glossary#top-down-multi-timeframe-alignment>) in seconds.

Open [4CM-AI Charts](<https://app.forecastcity.com/4CastMachine>) on [XAUUSD](<https://app.forecastcity.com/academy/glossary/glossary#spot-gold-xauusd>), EURUSD, or BTCUSD. Check live roadmaps from 5m to M, split up to 16 synced charts, or practice in **Replay**.
