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 engineer. I liked the work at first. Eventually I didn't. By the end I actively hated sitting down to it, and no amount of "just push through" was fixing that. Somewhere in the middle of all that, I started watching charts.

About three years ago I started taking trading seriously — futures mostly, options before that, and I keep an eye on crypto and other markets to stay current even though I don't actively trade them. In the early days I was taking trades from my desk at work while I was still supposed to be engineering, which is exactly as bad an idea as it sounds. I lost real money in the learning phase. But I could see the path — I could feel the edge forming — and I stuck with it. Eventually it was good enough that I walked away from engineering for real.

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

I'd been mentoring engineers for most of my career. Turns out the part of engineering I actually loved was the teaching — helping someone go from "stuck" to "I've got this." When I started trading, some of those same people asked me to mentor them on trading too. I did. A few started doing well.

One day one of them asked:

"How do we clone you?"

I didn't have an answer, but the question stuck. Not because my edge was special — plenty of people scalp futures. But because 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 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 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, not because it's a universally better style. 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:
