📱 TradeHelp is a desktop app

Looks like you're on a phone. Send yourself the link so it's ready when you're at your Windows or Mac computer.

First launch? Quick note for Windows & macOS

Windows: SmartScreen may warn because the app isn't code-signed yet — click More info → Run anyway.

macOS: It isn't notarized yet, so after dragging TradeHelp into your Applications folder, open Terminal (Applications → Utilities) and run this once, then open the app normally:

Everything in one place

A serious journal for serious traders — without the subscription or the cloud.

Trade Mode

Your own pre-trade checklist, daily goal & max-loss lockout, and a focused “go time” view that flips the whole app when you're live.

AI chart analysis

Attach a screenshot and an offline vision model reads the chart — then compares your winning vs losing setups to find what separates them.

Performance heat map

See your win rate by hour and day on a fire-colored grid — it flags the exact windows you trade best so you can lean into your edge.

Playbook

Document each setup — entry criteria, invalidation, targets — and every trade auto-links to it, showing the real win rate and P&L per strategy.

Prop-firm tracking

Track one or many challenges — profit target, daily loss, trailing drawdown — with live cushion-to-breach and a tightest-account flag.

Rating & achievements

A 59–99 trader rating that grades your process, not luck, plus psychology-based achievements and a non-tilt streak.

Reviews & journal

Weekly to year-to-date reviews with stats, an equity curve, a P&L calendar and a saved written reflection — with an optional AI summary.

Verified import

NinjaTrader, Tradovate and TopstepX exports are recognized on sight — any other CSV maps in a click — and your rating upgrades from “Self-reported” to “Verified”.

Make it yours

Light & dark themes, eleven accent colors, and six animated backdrops — constellation, matrix rain, glow orbs, flames, drifting candles or a bouncing equalizer.

See it in action

A focused dark desk that grades your process — here's what you actually work in.
