Wow this is super interesting from psychological perspective.

Try checking like page number 5/6. This post has 30 upvotes, not 300.

I must know you from somewhere. A random stranger wouldn't spend so much time obsessing and being jealous over my medicore success post.

Based on your green nickname, you probably even registered just to come comment on my post. I advice you to stop wasting time on such activities.

Thanks! This tool focuses specifically on Price Action style daytrading. For algotrading there are many other tools that are way better suited for this task.

It's not removed. Sorry to disappoint your conspiracy theory.

If averaging down is the key to your daytrading strategy, I suggest you rethink your strategy. There is a good saying - "never add to a losing position".

Thanks! That feature is on the todo list, might be added in following weeks.

Thank you very much! I don't see the feedback as negative, as what I've seen so far has been 95% overwhelmingly positive. My thesis has proven true - this tool is helping people. While HN might not be the most appropriate audience, I'm still grateful for the comments made here. Always good to see things from different perspective.

As for your points:

1) Trading is a game of probabilities and risk management. None of the best traders I know are trying to predict anything. They are merely reacting to situations where they have calculated advantage. They know their edge, they know their odds, and they are placing their bets when it's skewed in their favor.

2) For most retail trading styles and portfolio sizes, real trades will have an impact, but not significant enough for it to worry about too much. Unless asset your're trading is really illiquid.

Nothing is 100% and/or guaranteed in trading. It's a game of probabilities and risk management

To simplify - when you long, you bet on price going up. When you short, you bet on price going down. If you went short and price dropped 5%, your profit is 5% (minus commission, slippage, and some other stuff).

I've been doing a fair bit of promotion and marketing, because "you build it and they will come" rarely works, even if your stuff is good. But I'm sure any dev who has launched anything already knows that.

I posted this here with close to 0 expectations, because my posts in HN usually don't get much attention. If you've seen this on Reddit, you should know it was very well received in multiple subs, so getting a bit more than 20 upvotes here wouldn't be something out of the ordinary.

Does it really impact your practicing experience that significantly? This is an abstraction over market, it also doesn't have slippage and hundred other things.

Anyway, size is on the feature list, will be added in following weeks.

Patterns are an oldschool Technical Analysis fallacy that blindly believes that X means up and Y down. More practical and successful approaches (Price Action) focus on statistical significance and recognizing market context and supply/demand imbalances.

Self-fulfilling prophecy is not a real thing - take any chart and you can find 10 patterns that say up and 10 that say down. Big players move the markets and they don't use retail trader Technical Analysis patterns.
