For futures traders
Your journal tells you what happened.
AEGIS tells you what's happening.
A second screen for the session you are actually in. It reads the chart in real time and says what it sees — with the level that would prove it wrong. It fills your journal from your broker while you trade. And it watches your prop-firm rules so you do not have to.
Early access. No card, no spam — one email when there is something worth opening.
The difference
Most trading tools are a post-mortem.
They are excellent at telling you, on Sunday, what you did wrong on Tuesday. That is worth having. It is also too late to change the trade. AEGIS is built to run beside your platform during the session — which is the only moment the information can still change what you do.

Live analysis
A read on the chart, while it still matters.
AEGIS describes what the market is doing — the regime, the levels it is reacting to, what it noticed. It is computed once per symbol and broadcast to everyone watching it, so it arrives at the same moment for every trader.
Range bound. Price is consolidating below the prior session high with declining volume on each test of the upper bound.
This read fails if: a close above 5432.50 on rising volume.

- Every read carries the level that would make it wrong. Always visible, never a tap away.
- Descriptive, never directive. It tells you what it sees, not what to do.
- Annotations render on the chart, on desktop and on the phone.
The part most tools leave out
A reading without an exit condition is a recommendation in disguise.
So every read AEGIS writes carries the price that would prove it wrong — in the same box, at the same moment. Not behind a tap, not in a footnote.

The journal
It fills itself, from your broker.
Fills arrive from your account and become trades — entry, exit, net P&L, R-multiple, MAE and MFE — without you typing anything. What you add is the part only you can: what you were thinking, and whether you followed your plan.
- Every figure computed in exact decimal arithmetic, never floating point, so it agrees with your broker statement.
- Tick size and tick value come from an instrument reference, so a contract's P&L is right by construction.
- Your timezone, your session, your roll rule, your FIFO or LIFO. There is no house style.
- Tax export when the year ends.
How it works
Fills in. One trade out.
Partial fills, scale-outs and reverses are why a hand-kept journal is stale by Wednesday. AEGIS reassembles them into the trade you actually took.
03 / 06
Prop-firm rules
The rules watch themselves.
Daily loss limit, trailing drawdown, profit target — tracked live against the account you are actually trading, and shown side by side so you can see which one is closest. Not stacked, because a comparison you have to scroll through is not a comparison.
- Told in the units of the trade: how many more points against you breaches the limit.
- The meters never animate. A gauge easing toward a breach is wrong for the length of the ease.
- Pick the rule set that matches your firm, or define your own.

Alerts and replay
Watch a condition. Replay the session.
Alerts tell you when something you chose happens — a contract trading through a price, a rule approaching its limit. They do not tell you what to do about it. Replay walks the session back bar by bar, so a review is the day itself rather than a memory of it.

The whole journal, free
Depth is not the paid tier.
Name a setup and say what would show its edge is gone. Build any report from two menus rather than hunting through three hundred names. Keep a prep note, a review note and your own checklist, and watch the record of keeping them move the discipline half of your score. Set how wide your own breakeven is — a trade that closes two dollars up after commissions is a scratch, not a win, and you decide that, not us.
All of it is on the free plan and stays there. A free tier that is a crippled demo converts worse than one that is genuinely useful, and we would rather you upgrade because the analysis earned it.
One filter, every report
The filter is applied in one place on the server. Two screens filtering the same data their own way is how they come to disagree about the same month — and the disagreement is invisible until you add up two numbers that should match.
What a backtest cannot know
When a bar's range contains both your stop and your target, the outcome depends on the path price took inside that bar — and a bar does not record its path. AEGIS takes the loss and counts how often it had to, so a result resting on fifty coin-flips does not look like a clean equity curve.
06 / 06
Agents and backtesting
Put the theory beside what you actually did.
Four agents read your own journal and describe it — the session you just traded, the state of your recent record, tags for trades that have none, what changed over the week. They describe. They never tell you what to trade, and a suggested tag is yours to accept rather than something applied for you.
A backtest is scored by the same arithmetic as your journal, which is the only reason it can sit beside your real trades in the same strategy and mean anything. AEGIS shows the gap between the two and does not explain it — slippage, discipline and a dead edge look identical from here.
Brokers
Connect the account you already trade.
The adapter interface is the product boundary — no integration is privileged, and adding one does not change the app.

Read-only access wherever the broker's API permits it. AEGIS never asks for permission to trade, because it cannot place an order.
Where the line is
What AEGIS will never do.
Worth saying plainly, because in this category the omissions matter as much as the features — and because each of these is a constraint in the code, not a promise in a footer.
Place an order
The broker interface has no method to submit one. That absence is deliberate and permanent: AEGIS is analytics and journaling, and it is not a broker.
Tell you what to trade
AEGIS is not a registered investment adviser. Its output describes what the market is doing. It will not tell you to buy, sell, or size a position.
Show stale data as live
Every price carries how delayed it is, and the staleness badge is drawn from that number rather than from a setting that can drift out of step with it.
Open a second data session
Exchanges permit one market-data session per non-professional subscriber. AEGIS holds exactly one and feeds all your devices from it — quietly opening a second would reclassify you as professional and multiply your fees.
Sell your journal
Your trades are the most sensitive thing in the product. They are not sold, not brokered, and not used to train a model for anyone else.
Promise you an edge
No win rates, no backtested returns, no testimonials from traders who got lucky. Futures trading carries substantial risk of loss.
Pricing
Priced per subscriber, because market data is licensed per subscriber.
The chart, the journal and the deterministic read are free, permanently. Paid plans add the written analysis with its invalidation, your own journal statistics on the chart, and prop-firm rule tracking.
Early access
It is not finished yet.
AEGIS is in development. If you trade futures — your own capital or a funded account — leave an email and we will tell you when there is something worth your time. Not before.
