Third Candle

Trading research platform

A trading platform built around evidence, risk, and review.

Third Candle is designed for traders who want the workflow around a trade to be as visible as the chart itself. The platform connects scanner candidates, paper trade plans, risk limits, journal notes, replay, and performance review without turning research into a signal room.

What the platform helps organize

  • Scanner candidates with source attribution, price-band filters, relative-volume context, extended-hours status, and risk badges.
  • Evidence-backed paper trade plans with setup, entry trigger, invalidation, risk amount, and approval state.
  • Performance review with equity curve, drawdown, R multiple, MFE/MAE, outliers, leak review, and Strategy Memory.
  • Discipline controls such as Thumb Check, cooldowns, paper-first workflow, and release gates before live execution.

How it is different from a generic broker dashboard

  • The product starts with research quality, process adherence, and risk mandate visibility rather than order buttons.
  • AI is scoped to evidence review, journal patterns, replay questions, and process coaching, not buy or sell instructions.
  • Live trading remains gated behind broker setup, user approval, risk limits, kill switch, audit logs, and compliance review.

Third Candle is a paper-first trading research and review platform. Content is educational and process-based; it is not personalized investment advice, does not promise profits, and does not enable live trading by default.
