Trading Helper

The Trading Helper is a utility that I made for myself with the purpose of helping me to keep an overview of different data that I need for day trading.

Get some more information about it in the comment section of this post of mine:

Run in browser

Due to the fact that this tool is trying to load data from an API that is CORS-protected the data cannot be loaded in the browser version. It will display offline data instead.

To see actually up-to-date charts feel free to use one of the downloadable versions below.

Install instructions

MacOS

Simply double-click the downloaded *.dmg file to mount the image. Hit ⌘+⇧+A (Command, Shift and A) to open the Applications folder. Drag and drop the Trading Helper.app to Applications.

⚠️ MacOS version is unsigned

Beware that the provided MacOS application that you just copied is not signed and not notarized. That means you'll get an error message on trying to run the *.app file.

No worries, though, it's a usual warning by the "Gatekeeper". It's because I didn't pay the yearly Apple Developer fee which I need to do in order to sign and notarize applications for Apple devices. I might decide to do so for a later version of the tool but for now you gotta live with it and explicitly allow execution of the Trading Helper tool.

Linux

The exported lib is a binary. Simply unpack the *.zip file and cd into the extracted folder to run the tool by calling ./trading-helper

Windows

For now there's no Windows version available because currently I can only test on MacOS. Sorry.

anyway to add trendline support fo rthis?

As said a few weeks ago in the dev log as a reply to your other post I won’t replace tradingview.com (=TV) which already is the perfect tool for manually drawing trendlines into your charts.

Assumably there are some good algorithms/calculations out there for determining trendlines, though. Maybe they’re even easy to implement. In that case adding them into my tool should be possible. Why not? 🤔

But…!

Not sure if that makes sense in the first place because I think trendlines are a thing of personal interpretation of the charts since you sometimes got to ignore several highs and lows and instead you have to concentrate on the more relevant highs and lows of a chart that actually form a trendline.

The more I think about them the more I come to the conclusion that they should be drawn manually and not automatically by the tool. Which then leads me to the decision to leave them out of the tool completely because as I told you earlier, the Trading Helper is not meant to be a replacement of other tools that are way better at custom drawings into the charts – like TV.

I mean, I could at least add “trendlines” as an idea to my backlog. So maybe I will have a deeper thought on that later on. For now I still have my plans which will unfortunately take their time. I am quite busy due to IRL responsibilities (daughter and wife, job, house, cats, rest of family, and whatnot).
But I added it to my list now, so I won’t forget about it in the long run.

Thanks for your input! 😘

Long story short, you have to be very patient for any trendline support being ever added to the tool. Can’t promise anything right now. But I keep it in mind.

awesome, where can I find your latest updated build on this? Love to keep it updated. Cheers

You can always find the latest builds here on the project page. Right now I am not super active on development, I am afraid, which is why you can only find the 0.3.0-dev build that is 6 weeks old already as of writing. I will keep you updated with new devlogs as soon as something new happens. Feel free to follow me and add the Trading Helper to your collection so you won’t miss those updates.
