Hey Product Hunt I'm Franco, founder of Spoolado. I started trading futures a few years ago and bought into the "trader influencer" pipeline — the $5,000 course, the Discord with 10,000 members, the YouTube guru selling lifetime access for $2,000. None of it taught me to trade. What actually worked was: journaling every trade, reviewing them honestly, and using the right tools to size positions properly. So I built the platform I wished existed when I started. What's in Spoolado: A structured 10-stage roadmap from "what is a candlestick" → passing a prop firm evaluation. Interactive lessons, not lectures. A real trading journal with auto-imported trades (Rithmic and Tradovate integration in progress), daily reviews, and analytics that actually mean something. 50+ free tools — drawdown calculator, risk-of-ruin simulator, position sizer, R:R visualizer, candlestick pattern trainer, expectancy calculator. All free, no signup walls. Charts powered by TradingView's official charting library — the same one most professional platforms use. Built-in, no separate subscription required. 1:1 coaching with real traders — focused 30-minute sessions when you actually need them, not a $2,000 mentorship contract. Community Discord, leaderboard, and a founding-member tier for early supporters. The free tier isn't a teaser. You get the journal forever, all 50+ tools, and the first lesson of every module. Paid plans unlock unlimited lessons and the simulator. Why I built it: Most "trading education" prices itself like an MBA — except an MBA at least gets you a degree. The information traders need is out there. What's missing is structure, accountability, and the right tools all in one place — and those shouldn't be locked behind a four-figure paywall. I'd love feedback from anyone — traders, builders, or people who think I'm wrong about something. AMA below. — Franco francopapalardo@spoolado.io · www.spoolado.io
