Four Gates, One Verb
NO TRADE / WAIT / CLEARED sits on top of a four-gate sequence: Volume + VXX time window, VXX/VIX ratio and divergence, VWAP or key level, rejection pattern. The current blocker is always highlighted.
Steel Trading Desk by MDRN
Fewer forced trades. Cleaner entries. Stricter exits.
A local-first iPhone, iPad, and Mac discipline desk for discretionary traders who fade stretched VXX/VIX premium expansion. One screen. One command verb. A four-gate sequence that has to clear in order before any entry is on the table.
No signals. No autopilot. No fantasy fills.
Hard Exit at 15:55
From 15:50 to 16:10 ET, a full-screen hard-exit takeover replaces the desk with a giant countdown to 15:55 and your open position summary. The bell does not ask twice.
Local-First, BYO Key
No accounts. No telemetry. Optional live data via your own Finnhub, Polygon, Schwab, or Yahoo API key — calls go directly device-to-provider, never proxied by us.
What the Desk Is — and What It Is Not
Steel Trading Desk is an educational discipline utility. It does not execute trades, manage funds, provide financial advice, or connect as a brokerage service. The full workflow, chart, structured prompts, and risk tools are available without an in-app purchase. You are responsible for your own trading decisions and risk.
