Private alpha — invites going out in waves

The strategy stack for serious systematic futures traders.

A local-first dashboard for the retail futures trader who's tired of journaling in spreadsheets, eyeballing whether a strategy still has edge, and rewriting the same Pine boilerplate every time they backtest an idea.

Strategy registry · promotion gates · AI Pine generator · voice journal · all local.

Currently in private alpha. First invites going out in waves to early signups. No purchase required, no pressure. We'll ask 2 quick questions on the next page so we can prioritize futures-trader signups.

The problem

Most retail futures traders run 3-5 strategies, but track none of them properly.

→ Your journal is a spreadsheet

…that you stop updating after week three. You can't reconstruct what you actually took versus what your plan said to take.

→ You don't know if a strategy still works

"It worked last quarter" isn't a promotion gate. You need profit factor, drawdown, Sortino, expectancy — all conditional on the current regime.

→ Every new strategy is a Pine rewrite

News blackout, breakeven, structure trail, session filter — you've typed the same 200 lines a dozen times.

→ Your halts are in your head

"I should probably pause YM ORB" — but did you? Did you write down why? In what regime do you turn it back on?

What it does

Three tools that replace the spreadsheet+memory loop.

01 / Registry

A strategy registry that knows when to halt itself.

Every strategy you trade lives in one file. Profit factor, win rate, Sortino, max drawdown, expectancy — all computed live from your CSV exports + your manual entries. Promotion-gate framework with universal floors (PF ≥ 1.0, max DD ≤ 20%) plus per-strategy overrides. When an engine falls below its gates, the dashboard flags it before you lose another $500 figuring it out.

Str1_NQ_15m      5/6 gates passing   PF 2.04   +$17,855
Str5_Continuation  6/6 promotion eligible  PF 6.48
Str3_NQ_5m       HALTED — 4% WR, chop regime

02 / Pine

Pine v6 scripts from plain English.

Write your strategy idea in a short spec — entry rule, stop type, target, session window. Traders Hub generates a complete Pine v6 strategy script in your house style: news blackout, breakeven, structure trail, eval-governance comments. Drops straight into TradingView. No more rewriting the same 200 lines.

$ traders-hub pine generate \
    --entry "long when NQ closes above prev-day high after retest"  \
    --stop structure --target 3R --breakeven 1R --session "NYO+midday"

✓ Generated 327-line Pine v6 script in 18 seconds
✓ Saved to ~/tradingview-deploy/breakout_pullback_nq_15m.txt

03 / Journal

Journal trades by talking, not typing.

"Long MNQ 24550 stop 24500 exited 24620 NYO mid, per plan." Traders Hub turns that one sentence into a structured journal entry: strategy, symbol, side, R-multiple, P&L, regime context. Flags every assumption it made so you can review before it commits. Pipes into your strategy stats automatically — no double-entry.

You: long mnq 24550 stop 24500 out 24620 nyo mid per plan
Hub: Strategy: Str1_NQ_15m   Side: LONG   R: +1.4   P&L: $140
       Flagged: entry time defaulted to 09:30 ET

04 / Reports

Living reports that rewrite themselves.

Every strategy gets a markdown report that auto-regenerates whenever a new experiment or trade lands. Current leader, recent activity, sweep takeaways, regime breakdown, full timeline — always current, no week-three stale review docs. Your hand-written notes (hypotheses, "don't retest variant X", links to TV screenshots) live in a sidecar file that the generator never touches. So the auto half can be aggressive without ever clobbering your observations.

How it works

Local-first. Your trades stay on your Mac.

Step 1

Download & install

One double-click. Bundles its own Python runtime. Opens to the dashboard in under 90 seconds.

Step 2

Add your trades

Drag in your TradingView CSV exports, or type today's trades in plain English. The dashboard builds your registry automatically.

Step 3

Use it every morning

Today's sizing per strategy, what's halted and why, week-over-week P&L by regime. Coffee + one tab.

🔒

Your data never leaves your computer.

SQLite on your local disk. The only thing that goes out is the Pine generator prompt (to Anthropic). No cloud sync, no telemetry, no account required.

Built for

Retail futures traders who run 2+ strategies on liquid contracts.

If this is you

→ You trade liquid futures — NQ, ES, YM, RTY, GC, SI, CL, NG and their micros are supported out of the box; anything with a liquid ETF proxy is a one-line config change
→ You're funded on Apex, Topstep, FTMO, or trading your own capital
→ You have 2-5 strategies but track them inconsistently
→ You trade off Pine-script strategies — whether you write them or wish you didn't have to
→ You're willing to learn terms like "promotion gate" and "Sortino" if it means you stop guessing whether a strategy still works

Probably not you

→ You only trade equities/options (the framework is futures-shaped)
→ You're a discretionary trader without rule-based strategies
→ You want signals or trade calls (this isn't that)
→ You want it to place orders for you (broker integration coming, not v1)

Honest about what it won't do

No magic. No signals. No promises about your P&L.

It won't tell you what to trade. Traders Hub tracks the strategies you already run and helps you halt them when they stop working. It doesn't give signals or "AI predictions" — those don't work and you know it.

It won't make a bad strategy good. If your edge is fake, the promotion gates will tell you. That's the point. Some users will be annoyed when their pet strategy gets flagged as "needs improvement" after 30 trades.

It won't replace your broker. v1 reads your fills, it doesn't place orders. Broker integration (Tradovate, TradeStation) is on the roadmap but isn't in the first release.

The AI features cost real money. The Pine generator and NL journal parser call Claude's API. You bring your own Anthropic API key (about $0.05 per Pine generation, $0.005 per journal entry). Most users spend under $5/month.

Questions

FAQ

How much does it cost? →

Free during the private alpha. Pricing isn't set yet — we're focused on getting the product right with the first wave of beta users before pinning a number. Beta signups will get clear advance notice (and a grandfathered rate) before any paid tier launches.

Windows version? →

Mac first because it's faster to ship and most futures-trader friends I know run Mac. Windows is on the list, probably 4-6 weeks after Mac launch. Sign up for the waitlist and indicate Windows in your reply.

What instruments does it support? →

Sixteen out of the box: equity indices (NQ, ES, YM, RTY plus all their micros), metals (GC, SI plus micros), energy (CL, NG, MCL, QG). Trend signals and regime classification work without you uploading anything — they come from yfinance ETF proxies (QQQ for NQ, SPY for ES, GLD for GC, USO for CL, etc.), so a brand-new instrument starts producing chips the moment you select it. Adding a contract outside the default 16 is a one-line config change.

Does it sync to my broker? →

Not in v1. You export trades from TradingView (or Tradovate's CSV export) and drop them in. Broker integration via API is on the roadmap — Tradovate first since it has the cleanest API for retail traders. ETA: not in v1, probably 2-3 months after.

Who's building this? →

One person. A retail futures trader who got tired of the spreadsheet+memory loop and built this for themselves over six months. The Mac beta is what I've been using personally every day — beta users get the exact same tool I run.

What's the privacy story? →

Your trade data is stored in a SQLite file on your Mac. It never leaves your computer. No telemetry, no analytics, no account required. The Pine generator does send strategy prompts to Anthropic (using your API key) — but your trade history is never part of that prompt.

Can I use it for prop-firm evaluations? →

Yes — this is one of the main use cases. The registry tracks per-instrument drawdown (Apex's daily-loss-limit rule), the journal flags trades that violated your plan (often what blows evals), and the regime classifier helps you size up/down based on volatility conditions. Eval-specific governance is a planned feature for v1.1.
