BUILT FOR DISCIPLINED TRADERS
Everything you need to stop revenge trading
Screenshots, checklist, journal and MT5 candles in one desktop app — built to keep you on your plan.
A checklist before every trade
Log Trade always opens your pre-trade checklist first. Daily max trades and max losses lock logging before a revenge trade can start.
Reads from your MT5 candles
Import MT5 "Export Bars" CSV with broker time zone. Auto Trend, key levels, and gap detection are calculated mathematically.
Find similar past setups
Scan your historical MT5 candles to find past setups that match the current market structure and inspect how they played out.
Local or cloud AI — your own key
Connect OpenAI / Anthropic with your own key for better analysis, or run local models via Ollama / LM Studio for free — small models can misread charts. The app calculates the structure; AI explains it.
Your data stays on your computer
Trades, screenshots, and MT5 candles stay on your computer unless you choose to send them — for example to a cloud AI you connect. Your online account only unlocks the app license.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are my trades and chart screenshots stored?
Everything is stored on your computer — the app’s database and your screenshot folder. Backups go to Documents › Red Candle Backups.
Can I use my subscription on more than one computer?
One subscription unlocks one active computer at a time. You can click “Move to This Computer” when switching computers (up to 3 times per 30 days).
Does Red Candle work offline?
Yes. Your license is checked on your computer, so the app keeps working offline for up to 14 days after its last online check.
Do I need a paid AI subscription to use Red Candle?
No. Auto Trend, levels, and Pattern Memory run 100% mathematically without AI. For AI explanations, connect a cloud AI with your own API key for better results. A free local model via Ollama or LM Studio also works, but small models around 3B can misread charts.
Is there a free trial?
No — Red Candle is paid from the start: $30/month or $324/year. You can cancel any time in the customer portal.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Your first subscription payment is refundable on request within 14 days — email billing@redcandle.tech with your account email and order number. Renewals are reviewed case by case. Refunds go back to your original payment method and usually appear on your statement within 5–10 days. See the Terms of Service.
What happens if my subscription ends?
Red Candle switches to read-only: your journal, trade details, CSV export and backups stay open. Logging, imports and AI pause until you renew.
