About

Who I am and why I built this.

I'm Anh. On the charts I go by Scalperxanh.

For 15 years I was an automation engineer in biotech, building the systems that kept labs running. The kind of work where a missed step in a process can cost weeks of research. I liked it at first. Really liked it. Somewhere along the way that changed. Burnout crept in the way it always does, slowly, then all at once, and by the end I was forcing myself to sit down at work every day, trying to remember what I used to love about it.

Somewhere in the middle of all that, I started watching charts.

About three years ago I got serious about trading. Futures mostly, options before that. I keep an eye on crypto and other markets to stay current, but futures is where I live now. The early days were a mess. I was taking trades from my desk at work while I was still supposed to be running validation protocols, exactly as bad an idea as it sounds. I lost real money. But I could feel something forming. An edge, a read, a way of seeing the chart that wasn't there six months earlier. Eventually it was good enough that I walked away from biotech for real.

Here's the part that matters for why this site exists.

The automation side of my old career was always about one thing: making a process repeatable so it doesn't fail in ways you can't see. I spent 15 years building that muscle. When I started trading, I realized most traders, myself included, were doing the opposite. We were repeating setups without knowing if they worked. Journaling the P&L but not the reasoning. Reviewing trades emotionally, not systematically.

I started mentoring a few students on the trading side, most of them friends or engineers I'd worked with before. A few of them started doing well. One day one of them asked:

"How do we clone you?"

That stuck with me. Not in an ego way, in a "how do I actually help more people out of the spot I was in" way. I remembered my first year. The confusion, the losing streaks, the feeling of not knowing if you were a bad trader or just an early one. Nobody tells you the truth about your setups when you're starting. Your mentor is too polite. Your trading group wants you to like them. Your journal just shows you the damage, not the why.

Most traders never escape that phase.

I sat down one weekend and this app came out in one sitting. No plan, no roadmap. Just the thing I would have paid real money for three years earlier: post a setup before the outcome, get it graded by an AI that doesn't care about your feelings, and get a second opinion from actual traders who are doing the same thing you are. See what you got wrong before the market forces you to find out in P&L.

That's all this is. A journal that gives you feedback you can't give yourself.

On scalping

My style is scalping. I don't recommend it to most people and I won't pretend otherwise. It's intense, unforgiving, and it punishes emotional mistakes within minutes instead of days. It works for me because of my temperament. Fifteen years of running automated processes and debugging weird failures turns out to be useful mental training. Figure out what environment you thrive in. The chart grader doesn't care about your timeframe.

What I'm still doing

I trade every day. I'm also still building this app. It's not finished and probably never will be. There's always something I want to add or polish. If you've got feedback on it, I actually want to hear it. If you just want to talk setups or complain about price action, I'm around:
