Get the Most Out of Every Tool

The Signal Tracker turns technical indicators into plain-English buy and sell alerts, then runs a simulated, paper-trading engine so you can watch a strategy play out — with your own capital and risk settings, but with no real money involved.

1. Set your starting capital and risk per trade in the left panel, so position sizes are calculated realistically.
2. Build a watchlist and choose a timeframe — from 1-minute charts up to weekly candles.
3. Press "Run Strategy" to start the simulation. Signals fire live on the chart as conditions are met.
4. Watch the Open Positions table to see simulated trades enter and exit, with running P&L.
5. Tap the 🔔 bell next to the stats row any time to set price alerts on specific levels you care about.
6. Click "Save My Defaults" once you're happy with a setup, so it's ready next time you visit.

The Backtester lets you test a trading idea against years of real market history — completely free, with no real money involved — so you can see how it would have performed before you ever put a pound in.

1. Type in a symbol (e.g. AAPL or BTC-USD) and pick a date range and candle interval to test over.
2. Choose your indicators in Basic mode for a quick RSI-only test, or Detailed mode to combine several indicators with custom parameters.
3. Name and save your strategy so you can reload or compare it later.
4. Press "Run Backtest" to simulate every trade the strategy would have made over that history.
5. Review the results — total return, win rate, and how the strategy's equity curve moved over time.
6. Tweak one setting at a time and re-run to see what actually improves the result, rather than guessing.

The Portfolio Balancer is a simple place to track everything you actually own — savings, an ISA, crypto, property, anything — so you can see your total balance, your overall gain or loss, and how your money is spread out, all in one screen.

1. Click "+ Add Investment" and fill in a name, some optional details, its initial value, and what it's worth today.
2. Watch the donut chart and allocation table update instantly to show how that investment fits into your overall mix.
3. Click any investment card to expand it and see its full detail — initial value, total invested, current value, and gain/loss.
4. Use "+ Add Funds" whenever you top up an investment with new money — it's tracked separately, so it's never mistaken for profit.
5. Use "↻ Update Value" whenever an investment's worth changes, to keep your current value accurate — every change is logged with its date.
6. Check the "Balanced Portfolio Value" box on the right — it's simply the sum of every investment's current value, kept up to date automatically.

The Calculator is a set of three focused position-sizing tools in one place — work out exactly how much to risk before you place a trade, instead of guessing.

1. Kelly Criterion — enter your account balance, win rate, and average win/loss per trade to get a suggested bet size that balances growth against risk of ruin.
2. Calculator (pip/price distance) — pick a currency pair, enter the current price, your target price, and lot size to see the distance to target and its value.
3. Risk → Position Size — enter how much you're willing to risk, your currency, and your stop-loss in pips to get a suggested position size and unit count.
4. Use the results before you trade, not after — plug in numbers first, then size the position to match what the calculator suggests.
