Hey Product Hunt 👋

I'm Vicente Méndez, the maker of CoreTrade. We first launched here as a simple trading journal. Today we're back with CoreTrade 2.0.

What I learned after the first launch.
The journal itself was never the hard part. The feedback that kept coming back from prop firm traders was some version of "I don't fail challenges because of my setups. I fail because I break a rule I wasn't watching." A spreadsheet tells you that after the fact. I wanted something that tells you before.

What traders asked for, and what I built.
-"Show me my rules live." → Prop Firm Mode. Daily loss, max drawdown, profit target and minimum trading days, tracked against your challenge from the trades you log. The status changes from 'All systems clear' to 'Approaching limits' before you're in trouble, and one click resets the panel for a new attempt.
-"Tell me what I'm doing wrong, with my numbers." → A redesigned AI Coach. It reads your full history and answers questions like "what are my worst habits?" with your actual win rate by weekday, hour and instrument. If you're close to a prop limit, it warns you first.
- "I want to see my month at a glance." → Points Calendar. Every trading day as a gold or red dot. Click a day to see its trades and notes.
- "It's too expensive for a journal." → Pro dropped to $4.99/mo, the Free plan stays free (no card), and the refund window is now 14 days.

I also put the whole app through an OWASP ASVS Level 2 security audit. If you're logging funded-account data, you deserve that.

What it isn't: CoreTrade doesn't connect to your broker. You log trades manually (it takes seconds), which keeps it private and works with any broker or prop firm.

Feedback I'm looking for
1. Prop traders: which rule do you wish it tracked that it doesn't yet?
2. Is manual logging a dealbreaker for you, or a feature?
3. What would you ask the AI coach first?

For the Product Hunt community: use "PRODUCTHUNT" for 50% off your first month, valid through December 15, 2027. The Free plan needs no card if you just want to try it.

I'll be here all day answering every comment. Thanks for checking it out 🙏
