Helm
v0.1 · Read-only · Never executes trades

Discipline is the edge. Helm is how you keep it.

An AI coach for funded futures traders. It watches your sessions, guards your rules, journals every trade — and never places one. You always decide. Never loud. Never a casino.

Why Helm exists

We built Helm for traders who want to become disciplined professionals — not gamblers chasing a funded account.

Most tools in this world make more money the more you trade. Helm doesn't. It watches, it counts the risk, it remembers what happened, and it asks the question you'd ask yourself on a good day — so the discipline becomes yours, not something we sell back to you.

Observe

From a shared window to a coached review

Live Observe is shipped and working. This is what actually happens, in order.

  1. 01Share your chart window — once.The browser's own share prompt. You pick the window; nothing outside it is ever visible to Helm.
  2. 02Helm samples still frames on your cadence.Downscaled before upload. Never video.
  3. 03Each frame becomes structure.Trend, support and resistance, annotations.
  4. 04It lands on your session timeline.A journal entry, timestamped.
  5. 05The coach references it in review.The chart-to-decision connection is the whole point.

Coach insight
2026-07-07
The screenshots appeared to show NQ in a 5m downtrend with resistance around 25,340–25,430 and support near 24,730–24,850, so there was a defined structure in front of you. With no trader notes logged, though, there's no record of what you saw or why you held off. What kept you on the sidelines today — was it a lack of setup that fit your plan, or hesitation on a read you trusted?

A real Helm session review from an observed session — advisory reflection, not a signal.

Guard

The arithmetic that runs on every session

Your Apex rules and your own limits — trailing drawdown, daily loss, trade count — plus a consistency score that mirrors Apex's 50% rule and a milestone roadmap toward a north-star target. This half is free, with no AI model in the path: it's arithmetic, and it's where the habit forms.

Journal

Every session, trade, and review — append-only, and honest

The record writes itself. The ones from your live sessions and the ones you import, in one ledger you can replay minute by minute.

Bring your history with you

Drag in a CSV or Excel export from your broker. A deterministic parser — no AI — flags per-row errors before anything is written, with one-click undo of a whole import. Imported trades are journaled but never touch your Apex gates.

Replay a session

Observations with their chart reads, trades, your notes, and the coach's review, in chronological order. What you saw, when you saw it, and what you did about it.

Practice or real

Practice sessions get the full risk drill but never count toward your real stats or an Apex gate.

The invariant

What Helm will never do

Never executes a trade

Helm has no way to place, modify, or cancel an order. That path does not exist in the product.

Never connects to your broker's execution

There is nothing to toggle on, in any plan.

Never turns an observation into a trade signal

No “buy here,” no alerts to act. Chart reads are advisory observations, always framed as what the screenshots appeared to show.

Never trades against your attention

Helm makes nothing when you place an order, so it has no reason to push you into one.

The honest edges

What it costs, where the limits are

Frames of the window you choose are uploaded, stored, and analyzed to coach you. Nothing outside that window is ever visible to Helm.

Every AI observation and session review is a real, paid model call. The Free plan includes 5 AI chart observations per month so you can try it.

Live Observe needs a desktop browser and an open tab.

The coach can be wrong. It is advisory reflection, never a signal, and never financial advice.

Academy Modules 5–10 are still being written.
