Pause before you trade. HelloTrader turns one chart screenshot and your intended direction into a structured pre-trade check. It helps make the visible evidence, missing confirmation, and invalidation risk explicit—so you can decide whether to wait, skip, or continue. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add a clear screenshot of a price chart. 2. Choose Long, Short, or Not sure. 3. Review what supports your idea, what is missing, and what could prove it wrong. 4. Save your decision and revisit it later. BUILT FOR PROCESS, NOT PREDICTIONS • AI-assisted review of the chart you provide • Readiness breakdown across chart context, structure alignment, confirmation clarity, and invalidation clarity • A clear Wait, Skip, or Continue decision record • Saved checks with the reasoning visible at decision time • Look-back prompts for reviewing past choices • Practice Points, milestones, and badges that reward planning and reflection—not trading more often • Support for stocks, crypto, forex, and other price charts Start with one free chart check. A subscription unlocks the full checklist and additional chart checks. Available plans and trial eligibility are shown before purchase, and subscriptions can be cancelled through your App Store account. HelloTrader provides educational decision support. It does not predict prices, provide trading signals, place trades, or guarantee outcomes. You remain responsible for every trading and investment decision.
