Features

Everything a serious trader needs, in one place

Most platforms do one part of the job. Candlefall covers the whole loop: plan, execute, manage, review.

An execution workspace

A chart, an order ticket and your positions on one screen. Market, limit and stop orders, with your stop and target set before you send anything.

Draw it, then place it

Draw a long or short box on the chart and the ticket fills in from it: side, entry, target and stop. You press Place. Nothing is sent before that.

Limits that are yours

Risk per trade, daily loss, open risk, trades per day, a pause after losses, a news window. You set them. Candlefall applies them and refuses what crosses your line.

Playbooks for open trades

Rules for managing positions you have already opened: move the stop to break-even, scale out, trail. They never open a trade, add to one or widen a stop.

Automation you control

Connect your own Telegram channel or a webhook. Signals from those sources are read, checked against your limits, and placed or refused with the reason. Test a signal first; nothing is placed.

Your broker's symbols

Ask your broker what it offers and switch on the instruments you trade. No typing out symbol names, no guessing how your broker spells them.

A journal that fills itself

Every trade is recorded in R with the reason it closed. Compare one period with another, scan the timeline, and review what your own records show.

AI that describes, never advises

Plain-language summaries of your own data, clearly labelled. It tells you what happened. It never tells you what to do.

What Candlefall will not do

A platform for people who make their own decisions

These are not settings. They are how it is built.

Choose your risk for you

No default risk, no preset levels. Every limit is the number you typed.

Write signals or opinions

No buy or sell calls, no indicators scored for you, no view on the market.

Automate on its own

Automation acts only on a signal from a source you connected, inside your limits.

Make a trade riskier

Playbooks manage positions you already hold. They never open, add to, reverse or widen a stop.

Hold your money

Orders go straight to your own MT5 account at your own broker.

Let the AI decide

AI output describes your own data and is labelled. It never says what to do.

How it works

From sign-up to your first reviewed trade

1

Connect your account

Set up your own api2trade account, then link your MetaTrader 5 account, demo or live. Ask your broker for its symbols and switch on the ones you trade.

2

Set your limits

Answer a few questions about how you trade, or set each limit yourself. Nothing is applied until you say so.

3

Trade, manage, review

Place trades from the chart, let your playbooks manage them, then see in your journal how it went, in R.

My story

I reviewed every trading platform. None of them had it all.

I was introduced to trading in May 2026, and I trade primarily metals (gold and silver), crypto, forex and oil. Like most traders, I assumed the right platform was out there and I only had to find it.

So I looked. Every platform I tried got part of it right. None got all of it. I kept ending up with one tool for the chart, another for the orders, a spreadsheet for the journal, and my own willpower for the rules.

This is what I needed, written down:

  • To place and manage trades from the chart, on MT5.
  • Limits that were mine, and that held when I did not feel like holding them.
  • Rules for managing a trade once it was open.
  • Automation only from sources I chose, never on its own.
  • A journal that recorded itself.
  • Nobody telling me what to buy or sell.

The moment I decided to build my own platform was when I realized I wanted to take the emotion out of a trade. I imagined that with the right trade management tools, I could manage every trade the same consistent way and ease the anxiety that kept making me close trades before they had room to breathe and reach their targets. That idea became Playbooks.

So I built Candlefall from the ground up. Every part of it answers something I needed and could not find.

Questions

Before you sign up

Does Candlefall hold my money?

No. Candlefall places orders on your own MetaTrader 5 account at your own broker. Your funds stay with your broker.

Do I need a live account to start?

No. Link a demo account from your broker first. Everything works the same way, so you can learn the platform with no money at risk.

Does it give signals or trade advice?

No. It does not write signals, score indicators or tell you what to buy or sell. Automation only acts on a signal from a source you connected, inside your limits.

Who sets the risk limits?

You do. There are no preset levels. Each limit is a number you chose, applied to your account, and you can change or switch it off at any time.

How does it connect, and what does that cost?

Through api2trade, which links to your MetaTrader 5 account. You set up your own api2trade account and pay api2trade directly, currently €12 a month for each MT5 account you connect. Candlefall's price is separate. You approve each account and can disconnect it any time.

Is the AI giving me advice?

No. AI output summarises your own data, is labelled as AI, and never says what to do.
