A trading desk that enforces your own rules.
It sizes the position, refuses the trade that breaks your limits, puts the stop on the exchange rather than in a browser tab, and keeps a record of what you meant to do — so you can find out whether you did it.
The expensive mistakes are rarely analytical
Sizing a position bigger than the rule allows because this one looks good. Moving a stop. Taking a fourth trade on a day that has already gone badly. Not writing any of it down, so the pattern never becomes visible.
Every one of those happens under pressure, in the seconds when judgement is least reliable. Software is good at exactly that: applying a decision you made calmly, at a moment when you are not calm.
What it does
The size is decided before you have an opinion
Set your risk as a percentage of a fixed anchor, not of current equity, and the dollar risk stays constant through a drawdown. Conviction picks the symbol. It never picks the size.
It refuses. It does not warn.
Daily loss limits, total drawdown floor, concurrent positions, open risk, a cooldown after consecutive losses. The refusal happens on the server side of the app, where a browser console cannot reach it.
Stops live at the exchange
The stop is attached to the entry order, verified on the resulting position, and repaired if it did not land. A stop held in a running program is a promise. One at the exchange is a fact.
Liquidation, fees and funding, before you commit
How far liquidation sits from your stop, in stop-widths. What the round trip costs as a percentage of the risk. What funding will take over the hold. Linear, inverse and spot each sized with their own arithmetic.
The journal knows what you meant to do
Every other trading journal imports your fills. That is the whole reason they can tell you what happened and never whether you followed your plan — they never saw the plan.
Fund Desk stores the intended entry, the stop, the target and the planned risk before the position exists. So it can measure the thing that actually costs money:
| Question | Importer-based journal | Fund Desk |
|---|---|---|
| What was my P&L? | yes | yes |
| What is my win rate by setup? | yes | yes |
| Did I get the entry I planned, and what did the slippage cost? | no plan to compare | yes |
| Did I close at my target, or bail at 0.4R? | no | yes |
| Did I move my stop? | cannot know | yes |
| What share of my risk went to fees? | rarely | per trade and aggregate |
| How often do I actually follow my own rules? | no | a number, tracked over time |
Where your keys live
On your computer. That is the entire architecture.
There is nothing to breach
No account, no cloud, no licence server. The program binds to
127.0.0.1 — it is not reachable from your network, let alone the
internet. It never sends us anything, on any schedule, for any reason.
The half that watches cannot trade
A read-only key for equity, positions and the journal; a separate trade key that only one file in the program can load. The read half is incapable of placing an order — not by discipline, by construction.
At rest, tied to your Windows account
Keys are encrypted with facilities built into Windows and bound to your user. Copy the file to another machine and it yields nothing.
Holding a key is not consent to use it
Installing a trade key arms nothing. Live trading is a second, deliberate switch with a typed confirmation, and it can stay off forever.
What it is not
Not a bot
It never opens or closes a position you did not personally instruct. There is no automatic mode to switch on.
Not signals
It has no opinion about what to buy. It does the arithmetic on the trade you chose.
Not financial advice
Nothing it displays is a recommendation. We are not licensed advisers and do not know your circumstances.
Not a guarantee
Guardrails reduce mistakes; they do not prevent losses. A stop is an instruction to the exchange, not a promised price.

Questions worth asking before you trust software with an exchange key
Does it trade for me?
No. It sizes and checks the trade, and sends the order only when you press the button and type the symbol to confirm. There is no automatic mode. If you never install a trade key, it cannot send anything at all.
What happens if you go out of business?
Nothing changes. There is no licence server to shut down and no account to deactivate. The copy on your machine keeps working exactly as it does today. That is why the licence key gates updates and not the program itself — software holding a live position must never refuse to open.
Can you see my keys, my trades, or my balance?
No, and there is no mechanism by which we could. Nothing is transmitted to us. Your keys are encrypted on your own disk; your journal is a database in your own user folder. Keep your own backups — we cannot recover any of it.
Which exchange?
Bybit. Perpetuals, dated futures and inverse contracts are all sized correctly, including the USD-denominated arithmetic inverse contracts need. Spot can be sized but not lodged. We are not affiliated with Bybit.
Why not a subscription?
Because a subscription needs a server to check it, and a server is the thing we are selling you the absence of. One payment, no infrastructure, no ongoing relationship required for the software to run.
What do I need to install?
Nothing but the installer. Python and every dependency ship inside it. It installs per-user, so there is no administrator prompt, and it uninstalls cleanly — leaving your trade journal in place, because that is yours.
Is my money at risk from bugs in this?
Honestly: any software that places orders can be wrong, and this one has had real bugs found and fixed. It ships with several hundred automated tests, the order-placing code lives in one auditable file, and every order requires your confirmation. Verify your positions on the exchange regardless — that advice applies to every tool of this kind, including this one.
Can I use it on more than one computer?
Yes — the licence is for you, not for a machine. Sharing your key with other people is what the licence agreement prohibits.
