Feedback request

Hello everyone,

For the past year I was building and testing a platfrom to help me with automating most of the work on finding trade setup, as a part time trader, I didn't have time to watch charts most of the days, so I wanted something to build that I set once, back test for validation, then assign to tickers and it will keep watching till conditions are met then send me a telegram notification.

There are much more to it, and a lot of things in my mind, but want to get some confirmation from users that it's actually something they might be interested in

I've been using it personally for few month and I thought if it worked for me it must works for others, I launched it to public few days ago, but since this is a niche market it was difficult to get signups, so I was hoping that there will be some I terested users in this community to help testing, offcourse I'm going to give them pro plan for a month to test so if any body interested please let me know here

Thanks alot for your time

Fed minutes at 2pm ET, do you trade the hawkish dissent, or fade it because the data already moved past it?

quick setup: the July FOMC minutes drop at 2pm ET. that meeting held rates at 3.50-3.75% but with an unusually visible 9-3 split, Hammack, Kashkari and Logan all wanted a 25bp hike. so the obvious thing to mine the minutes for is how far that hawkish view spread into the voting majority. if more officials were leaning hike than the three formal dissents suggest, that reads hawkish.

but here's the catch, and it's the actual trade: the minutes are backward-looking, and a lot has happened since July 29. July payrolls came in negative, inflation gauges softened, and retail sales unexpectedly dropped. all of that cut against the hawks, the market's now pricing 67-70% for a September hold. so the minutes capture a debate that the data has arguably already overtaken.

the usual pattern with stale minutes is a quick repricing on the initial read, then a fade once everyone remembers the info is three weeks old. and there's a bigger event right behind it Jackson Hole, where Warsh speaks. with Warsh having killed forward guidance, every meeting's basically live, which cuts both ways: it makes the minutes matter more (no guidance elsewhere) but also makes them more likely to be leapfrogged by the next data point.

what i'd watch immediately: the 2-year yield. it's the cleanest tell for whether traders read it hawkish or dovish.

genuinely curious how the room's playing it:

  • do you trade the initial minutes reaction, or sit out knowing stale minutes tend to fade?
  • if the minutes read hawkish but the data since says hold, which wins in your positioning?
  • is anyone even trading this, or is Jackson Hole the real event and today's just noise?

Said "one more to break even" like 4 times yesterday before I actually stopped

First loss happens, fine, that's trading, told myself one more and I'm done for the day regardless of outcome. 

Lost that one too. Said the same thing again. You'd think I'd learn after round 2 but no. 

By trade 4 I genuinely wasn't even trying to break even anymore, I think I just wanted the sick feeling in my stomach to go away and somehow more trading felt like the answer to that, which makes zero sense typing it out now. 

Break even has never actually been the place I stop, it's always further down than that. What's everyone's actual stopping point and does it hold or does it move too

Traders who are profitable, what was your first purchase?

While some assume new cars or perhaps more lavish life style what route did you decide for yourself and why?

Rule based trading

Almost everyone of us has our trading rules but only a few follow them strictly. For the rest it's not so easy to implement. How about having a cute companion who review your live setup against ur strategy/rules and give u a matching percentage. Do you think it would help

Looking for a serious trading buddy (strategy + emotional accountability)

Hey everyone,
I’m looking for a like-minded trading buddy to connect with. I focus mainly on price action and market structure, but doing this completely alone is tough—especially on the mental side. Managing emotions, handling drawdowns, and staying disciplined is way harder in isolation.
I want to build a partnership where we can:

Share Knowledge: Review price action, break down charts, and share trade setups.
Stay Emotionally Strong: Keep each other grounded, call out tilt or revenge trading, and enforce strict risk management together.
Maintain Discipline: Hold each other accountable to our trading plans.

If you’re serious about trading, value discipline, and want to build that mental strength together, drop a comment or DM me with your market, timezone, and experience level.

I created an app that measures your trading psychology & stop you making bad decisions.

honestly my issue was never the strategy. it was that i'd overcomplicate a simple setup, take impulsive trades i already knew were bad, and undo a whole good week in one afternoon.

so i built Gaman. the whole point is breaking that loop: the impulsive decisions, the overcomplicating, the overtrading.

it's on the app store if you wanna try it: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6795348331

it's still early so if you check it out, tell me what actually helps you stay disciplined or what's missing. not trying to sell anything, just built the thing i needed.

Built an options trade journal because I was tired of subscription fees for something this simple

Been trading options for a while now, and I kept hearing the same advice everywhere: "journal your trades." Every journal app I looked at wanted $20-30/month, which felt insane for what's basically a glorified spreadsheet with some charts.

So I decided to build my own. No coding background — just got fed up enough to learn.

What it does so far:

  • Log trades (shares, calls, puts, spreads, covered calls, CSPs) with proper P/L math for each type
  • Calendar view color-coded green/red by daily P/L, tap any day to see what happened
  • Stats broken down by Daily/Weekly/Monthly/YTD — win rate, R-multiple, win/loss streaks, equity curve
  • Tag trades by setup or mistake so you can actually see patterns (which setups you overtrade, which mistakes keep costing you)
  • Open positions tracked separately until you close them
  • Multiple journals if you want to separate strategies or accounts

The plan is one-time purchase instead of a subscription — pay once, own it. Still building it out (multi-journal support, goals/rules tracking, CSV import are in progress), but wanted to start sharing progress since a lot of you probably have the same "why am I paying monthly for this" gripe I did.

Not live yet, but getting close. Happy to hear what you'd actually want in something like this — trying to build it for people just starting to take journaling seriously, not compete feature-for-feature with the established ones.
