What it does

Real-time charts, all by keyboard

Move bar by bar, jump across the chart, zoom, and pan — entirely from the keyboard, with live data streaming in.

Ask whether the chart in front of you is live

Alt+Shift+L answers it, with the elapsed time rather than just a word: “no data for eleven minutes” is actionable in a way that “stale” is not. If a feed stalls the terminal says so; if it reconnects across a gap it refuses to splice the hole silently and tells you how big it was, because a gap nobody knows about is indistinguishable from real price action.

All the classic indicators, plus your own

A large library of the indicators traders rely on, all sonified — and you can build custom ones when you need something specific. Find one by searching what it does, not just what it’s called: type “volatility” and you get ATR and Bollinger Bands, with the match count spoken as the list narrows and the indicator’s own description read back once you land on it. Newest is Value Deviation, which marks where price turned relative to value (a rolling volume profile’s point of control): turns below it mark support zones, turns above it resistance, with five tiers a side saying how far from value the zone formed — in shape, colour, and pitch.

Drawing tools

Trendlines, channels, Fibonacci levels, and more — placed precisely by keyboard, with the price and time spoken back as you set each point. Text labels pin a note to a bar: the anchor goes down first, then you type the wording. Arrow onto that bar from any series and the label reads its own wording back, marked with a short two-note tick rather than a price tone — a label is an annotation, not a measurement.

Undo, and it tells you what it undid

Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y, fifty edits deep. Reaching for the chart to pan and catching a drawing handle instead is enough to lose a carefully placed trendline — and if you can’t see where it used to be, you can’t drag it roughly back. Every undo speaks what it just reversed, including “nothing to undo”.

See where the volume is

Volume profiles and heatmaps show, and sound out, the price levels where the most trading happened. Two ways of measuring it — Volume Profile by traded volume and Market Profile (TPO) by how much time price spent at each level — and each can be run over the visible range, a fixed range you set, a single session, or anchored at a bar you choose. The point of control and the value area are spoken, so “where is this market comfortable” is a question you can ask by ear.

Any timeframe

From one minute to one month, and you can work across several timeframes at once.

Keep a watchlist, then scan it

Build named lists of the symbols you follow, each remembering the provider and market it came from. Then run a screen across the whole list at once: pick an indicator, a component, and a condition, stack as many filters as you like, and choose whether all, any, or enough of them by weight must be true. Every rule is restated in plain English underneath so you can check it in one read, and results come back as a table your screen reader moves through cell by cell. Symbols that couldn’t be checked are always listed, never quietly dropped — “we couldn’t fetch twelve of these” must never look like “nothing qualified”. Included with the free browser account.

Which levels does this market actually hold?

Rather than assuming a level matters, this measures it: for every level near price and every standard moving average, how often price touched it, how often it held, how big the reaction was, and how long ago. A wick through that snaps straight back counts as a hold — that’s a sweep, which is the level working. Thin samples are filtered out by default and clearly labelled if you show them. Included with the free browser account.

Market structure, labelled as it forms

Swing highs and lows named as higher or lower, the trend they imply, and the moment it changes — a Break of Structure when price runs past the last swing, a Change of Character when it turns the other way. Add it from the indicator list when you want it — a new chart starts with candles, price and volume and nothing you didn’t put there, and Settings has a switch to seed it on every new chart instead. One honest caveat, stated the same way in the manual: a swing can only be confirmed five bars after the bar it sits on, so it tells you where you are, not where to enter.

The chart names its own shapes

Twelve formations — double top and bottom, head and shoulders and its inverse, three triangles, two wedges, two flags, and the horizontal range — announced as you move through them, with the neckline, the measured target and how many bars the shape spans. You’re told which edge you walked in from, and, at the bar it resolves, what price actually did: “confirmed here: closed below the neckline at 42,100”, or “ends here without confirming — the neckline held”. Two keys step between formations, a shape nested inside a bigger one says so, and when several overlap you hear the leading one and a count — because traders disagree about these, and silently picking one would hide that.

Separately, the terminal names twenty-four candlestick patterns — the one-to-five-bar shapes: engulfing and harami, piercing line and dark cloud cover, tweezers, morning and evening star and their doji variants, three white soldiers and three black crows, three inside and three outside up and down, the abandoned baby, the three line strike, and the rising and falling three methods. They are read on the bar that just closed and on history as you arrow back through it, with how many bars the shape spans, where in it the bar you are on sits, and whether it reads as reversal or continuation.

Read a market forward, without hindsight

Bar replay hides everything after a point you choose and steps forward one bar at a time, so you meet the market the way you meet it live — without knowing what happens next. It is the only way to find out whether a setup you like the look of was actually readable at the time, or only looks obvious with the rest of the chart in view. Start it with Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P anywhere, or F11 on the desktop apps.

Beyond price

Chart more than candles: macro and economic series, on-chain metrics, derivatives data like funding rates and open interest, market sentiment like fear-and-greed, weekly hedge-fund positioning (COT, straight from the CFTC), and daily short-sale volume — read and sounded out the same way as price, and most of it free with no subscription. You can even import your own CSV datasets and chart them alongside the rest, so the wider context is part of the picture, not a separate tab.

Practise first, risk-free

Turn on paper trading and learn the whole workflow against simulated money — driven by the real live price, so it behaves like the real thing. Market, limit, stop, bracket and trailing orders all simulate fully, and a persistent PAPER badge keeps it clear that nothing is real. Reset it whenever you want a clean slate. No money at stake until you decide.

The simulated account is held to the rules a real one would enforce: you can’t sell what you don’t hold, an order that can no longer be afforded when it fills is refused rather than taking you negative, and a refusal says why — not just “rejected”. Leverage is still withheld until borrowing is properly modelled, rather than offered and quietly ignored.

Short a market, and know where it dies

Short selling is back in paper trading, at 1× and modelled properly. Selling what you don’t own means somebody lent it to you and you owe it back at whatever it ends up costing — so the sale proceeds are locked and an equal amount of margin is locked beside them. You’re told what the short cost to open, what it’s worth now, and how far price can move against you before the position is liquidated. A short that can’t tell you where it dies isn’t a short, it’s a trap. Included with the free browser account.

Know what the account is worth

The Balances tab used to show quantities — asset, free, locked — and no values at all. Now it shows what each holding is worth, the total, what share of the account each one is, and the day’s change: the numbers that answer “how am I doing”. An asset whose price can’t be fetched is marked unpriced and the total says it’s partial, because a missing price silently counted as zero is worse than no number at all.

The key that signs is the key you chose

The order ticket names it outright — “API key for this order”, with options that read “Live, real money” or “Paper, practice environment” — and the dashboard speaks the account when it opens. The status bar carries a LIVE badge beside the PAPER one, because an absence is not a signal a screen reader can find. A key you marked Paper on a venue that has no practice environment is refused, never quietly routed live, and the refusal names the key and the fix. Seven of the sixteen venues have no sandbox, so this is a real trap rather than a theoretical one.

A stop that cannot open a position

Bracket legs are reduce-only and share one pair, so a stop that fires after you have already closed by hand cannot turn into a fresh short — and a protective leg on the wrong side of the fill is refused out loud rather than quietly attached. The spoken live-order review re-arms if anything about the ticket changes underneath it: “Ticket changed since the review. Nothing was sent.” For a screen-reader user the spoken review is the ticket, so it has to describe the order that will actually leave.

Connect your broker — and every control means it

Place orders, watch the order book, and keep an eye on your positions and balance without leaving the keyboard, across sixteen trading venues — the newest being Gemini (US-regulated spot, verified live against a real key) and Kraken Futures, which is treated as its own venue rather than a setting on Kraken, because it has its own host, its own signing, and its own API keys. Every control on the order ticket is driven by what your broker actually supports, audited against the venues rather than against their documentation: if a control is there, it works; where it isn’t, it’s absent or disabled with a reason, never present and inert.

Deposit addresses you can actually read

Ask for a deposit address and it arrives in a read-only field with a copy button — so your screen reader’s review cursor and your braille display walk it character by character, with no special handling from us. It’s checksum-verified before you ever see it, and its capitalisation survives the trip, which matters because on some networks the capitals are the checksum. Kraken is the first venue behind it; it uses your own API key, so it’s a desktop feature.

Size and place a trade from the chart

Three keystrokes, no dashboard. Arm a risk percentage, arrow to the bar you want your stop at, then arrow to your entry and place a limit or go to market. The position size is worked out from your account and your stop distance and spoken back to you — the sum you’d otherwise do in a position-size calculator, at the moment you need it. The stop has to come first, because until the app knows it, a percentage is a budget and not a quantity. You’re reminded you’re armed on every bar you move to.

Manage the position after you’re in it

Stop loss and take profit are editable in the positions table: activate the cell, type a price, press Enter. Every value is checked before it’s sent — a long’s stop must sit below the current price and its target above — because several venues will happily accept a stop on the wrong side and trigger it the instant it’s placed. Unrealised P&L updates on the same two-second tick as the order book, and quantities name their asset, so “0.714 BTC” can’t be mistaken for the dollars beside it.

The markets you trade

Crypto, stocks, forex, indices, commodities, options, and futures from the major exchanges and brokers — sixteen trading venues and seventeen further data sources today. Because data sources are a plug-in system, more can be added over time — Gemini and Kraken Futures were the two most recent to join.
