u/TradeSquire

I’ve been trading for 6 years and honestly, one of the biggest time wasters for me was just sitting in front of charts looking for a setup.

Checking different pairs.
Checking timeframes.
Checking news.
Waiting.
Then checking everything again.

A lot of the time I wasn't even trading — I was just searching for something to trade.

So I started building a Telegram bot for myself that helps with the boring part.

It can analyse charts, help find setups based on conditions I define, and alert me when something worth looking at appears.

For me, it has meant less screen time, fewer random manual entries and less temptation to jump into a trade just because a candle suddenly moved.

I’ve been using it myself for the last few months and tested it across Gold, Forex and Crypto.

Now I’m giving the bot free to a few traders because I want to see if it’s actually useful outside of my own trading.

No paid subscription or EA required. The automated execution part is optional — the main thing is the analysis, setup finding and alerts.

If you try it, I’d genuinely like to know:

Did it save you time?
Did it make finding setups easier?
What would you change?

I’m much more interested in real feedback from you all .

One thing I've noticed with retail trading is that the problem isn't always finding a strategy.

It's executing it consistently.

Hesitation. FOMO. Overtrading. Missing setups. Taking trades that don't fully qualify. Risk-management mistakes. And simple execution errors.

I've been building TradeSquire around that problem — an engine that continuously analyzes the market, looks for multiple conditions to align, filters weaker setups, applies predefined risk rules, and can either let the trader approve a trade or execute it automatically.

It works across Forex, Gold, Silver, Oil and Crypto, rather than being built around just one market.

But I didn't want to build something and simply say “trust me, it works.”

I've been running the engine and automated execution live for around 2 months, with the analysis and trades being publicly livestreamed on my YouTube channel, TradeSquire.

The reason for doing it publicly is simple: transparency.

Anyone can watch the process instead of only seeing selected screenshots or a backtest after the fact.

I'm not saying this has solved trading. I'm trying to solve one part of it that I think gets overlooked:

How do you reduce the human inconsistency between having a trading plan and actually following it?

I'd genuinely like to hear from experienced traders:

What's the biggest problem you still face consistently — analysis, waiting, risk management, or execution?

I've been building a trading platform for retail traders, and I'm at the point where I want to get some honest feedback from people who actually trade.

The idea isn't to build another “magic trading bot” or sell signals.

The problem I'm trying to solve is the amount of work and decision-making scattered across different tools when you're trading.

My current workflow looks like this:

1. Daily Market Brief
Important news, events and market developments summarized so you know what actually matters before looking at charts.

2. Market Analysis
Structured analysis across Gold, Crypto and Forex to identify market conditions, levels and potential scenarios.

3. Trade Finder
Instead of staring at charts all day, the system looks for predefined trade conditions and alerts when a potential setup appears.

4. Optional Execution
For traders who want it, execution can eventually be automated. But this is intentionally the last part of the system, not the core product.

The bigger idea is:

News → Analysis → Trade Setup → Alert → Optional Execution

I'm building this because I think a lot of retail traders don't necessarily need another indicator or another strategy.

They need a better workflow.

Right now, I'm trying to figure out where this concept is genuinely useful and where I'm just building features that sound good on paper.

So I'd love some criticism from traders here:

• What part of your daily trading workflow wastes the most time?
• What information do you currently have to check manually?
• Would a daily market brief actually be useful to you?
• Would you trust an automated system to find setups while keeping the final decision yours?
• At what point, if any, would you want automated execution?
• What would make you not trust a platform like this?

I'm building this as a real project and would genuinely appreciate criticism — especially from people who think the idea is unnecessary or already solved.

What would you remove, add, or change?

TradeSquire's engine flagged a potential bullish continuation setup on USDCHF.

The idea is based on a retest of the 0.81136–0.81155 area.

Setup:

• Bias: Long
• Entry: 0.81136–0.81155
• Stop: 0.81072
• Target: 0.81249
• R:R: 1:1.5
• Confluences: 4/6
• Current price: 0.81159

Why?

The engine is looking for bullish continuation after a retest of the previous level. Rather than chasing price, the setup waits for the retest and confirmation around the entry zone.

Fundamental regime is neutral, so this is primarily a technical setup.

One thing we do differently: these aren't just backtested screenshots or hypothetical executions.

The TradeSquire engine runs its executions in real time, and the trades are streamed live on YouTube so you can actually watch the setups develop and see the execution happen.

🔴 Live execution + real-time trading:
Check out the TradeSquire YouTube live stream to follow the executions as they happen.

Would you take this USDCHF continuation setup, or wait for a deeper retest?

I’m testing an automated trading system on live markets and wanted to share one of the setups it picked up today.

AUDJPY — 15m

🟢 Direction: Long
📍 Entry: 112.39–112.41
🛑 SL: 112.33
🎯 TP: 112.51
⚖️ R:R: 1:1.5
⭐ Confluences: 4/6
🌍 Fundamental regime: Tailwind

The setup is based on a bullish continuation/retest. The interesting part for me is that the system handles the market scanning and execution rather than me manually searching through charts.

The trade is currently approaching TP, so I'm watching to see how the setup plays out.

Would you have taken this AUDJPY setup based on these levels? What would you change?

I'm also streaming the execution/testing live on YouTube if anyone wants to see the system in action:

Important: This is a live system test, not a guarantee or financial advice.

I spent months trying to find the "perfect" entry.

Better indicators.
Better confirmations.
Better timing.

Looking back, none of those changed my results nearly as much as position sizing and risk management.

If you could go back and relearn one part of trading, what would it be?

Trading doesn't care whether you're rich, poor, desperate, or motivated.

The market rewards good decisions and punishes bad ones the same way for everyone.

That's why the traders who survive usually become a little boring—they follow rules, accept small losses, and stop chasing "life-changing" trades.

Your story gives you motivation, but don't let it pressure you into expecting trading to solve everything quickly.

Build your skills. Protect your capital. Think in years, not weeks.

Wishing you the best.
