Your paper account is on the $10,000 default. Type the size you actually want to practice with in the Starting Account Size field below — equity, free cash and the 10% / 1% caps all run off it, and it sticks to your account.

Win rate is a comforting number, but a misleading one. Expectancy is what separates real traders from hopeful ones — it tells you how much you earn, on average, per unit of risk. Expectancy = (Win % × Avg Win R) − (Loss % × Avg Loss R). Positive expectancy = your system has an edge. Negative = it loses money no matter how good individual trades feel. Recalculate it monthly.

Your link below. When a friend joins through it, you both get a free month, applied to your memberships within a day. Every share card you post carries it too.

Equity = your starting size (set below) + realized + open P/L on paper positions. In trades is what your open positions tie up (a debit, or a credit spread’s width less the credit); free cash is the rest — there is no margin here. The desk refuses any ticket over the 10% cap or over your free cash. Simulated money, modeled prices — simulated performance does not ensure success in a live environment.

Position-sizing is the single decision that keeps you in the game. The Hou5eMoney rule: Risk at most 10% of your account in any single trade — and within that trade, lose at most 1% of your account if your stop fires. If your account is $10,000, your largest position is $1,000 and your max loss on that trade is $100. The other 90% sits in cash, ready for the next setup. Cash is a position.

Paper trading needs none of this — your paper account is already open, on the Monitor tab. When you want to place an idea for real, you place it at your own broker: Hou5eMoney never sends an order anywhere and never touches a brokerage account. Pick your broker once here and every ticket set to My broker writes the order out for you to paste and opens your broker’s trade screen in a new tab.

Any broker works — including one that isn’t listed. Trade opens their web trade screen, Site their home page if you have no account there yet. Every card carries the full trade; the written-out ticket is there so you type nothing twice. Always check the numbers on your broker’s screen before you send: their quotes are live, ours are delayed.

A prop firm funds you after an evaluation: you trade their account on their platform and keep most of the profit. The same 10% / 1% sizing applies there, only stricter — their daily-loss limits end the account. Prove the habit on paper first. Hou5eMoney has no relationship with any of these firms; do your own diligence on fees and payout terms.

Type entry, stop, and your risk % — the calculator tells you how many shares you can take.

1. Never override the size calculator — if it says 33 shares, you take 33, not 100. Your gut isn't a position-size model.
2. Hit the daily loss limit, you're done — not "one more to break even." That's revenge, and revenge is how accounts blow up.
3. Stops go in before the entry — not after. A mental stop is a wish, not a stop.

Give it a moment and reload. If it keeps happening, sign out and back in from the Tape.

SCANNERS find POSSIBILITIES. INDICATORS confirm PROBABILITY. EXECUTION creates PROFIT.
Never confuse those three things. A scanner result means "look here." An indicator confirmation means "act here."

If you can't check off at least three of these boxes, the trade isn't A+ — pass.

• ✓ Trend agrees on all five dashboards.
• ✓ Pulse STRENGTH is past ±50.
• ✓ Flow BIAS is on your side and ACCEL points your way.
• ✓ No opposite-color CVD divergence dot in the last 2 bars.
• ✓ Volume on the upper dashboard is above 1.0× average.
• ✓ Tide verdict is HEAVY or UNUSUAL on your side — not NEUTRAL or thin.
• ✓ Trigger has fired an arrow (not just colored a candle).
• ✓ Grid is HOLDING BULL or HOLDING BEAR — not WAIT.

Something you heard on the news, a name to watch, a level, a thought during the session. One line, timestamped, kept on this device.

• Read every trade you took. Did each one match an A+ pattern?
• Calculate your week's expectancy. Is it positive?
• Which setups produced your best R-multiple? Which leaked money?
• What time windows produced your best P/L? Worst?
• Look at your rule-adherence %. If it's under 80%, the problem isn't your edge — it's your discipline.
• One concrete change you'll make next week. Just one.

WHAT YOU SEE: Trigger fires a cyan CONFLUENCE BUY arrow — FLOW CVD and the HM5 Exit Dot are both aligned bullish simultaneously. This is the desk's single strongest long trigger. Grid is HOLDING BULL. Pulse STRENGTH is rising.

THE TRADE: Buy the close immediately. Stop below the bar's low. Trail with the fast EMA. Do not hesitate on this trigger — it is the most filtered entry the desk has.

WHAT YOU SEE: Price sweeps below a prior swing low (stop-hunting), then closes back above that level. Trigger fires a gold RECLAIM BUY arrow. Price is above the big EMA. Bar closes bullish.

THE TRADE: Enter on the reclaim candle close. Stop just below the swept low. Take half off at the prior high, trail the rest.

WHAT YOU SEE: Trigger fires a yellow BREAKOUT arrow. Pulse strength strongly positive with a yellow breakout dot. Flow prints a yellow ACCEL UP bar. Grid prints GRID: BUY. Tide is HEAVY BULL FLOW or UNUSUAL BULL SURGE.

THE TRADE: Buy the close of the breakout bar. Stop just under the breakout candle's low. Target = height of the prior range, then trail with the fast EMA.

WHAT YOU SEE: Trend is BULL on all dashboards. Price pulls back to the fast EMA. Trigger fires a lime BUY DIP arrow. Flow shows a cyan divergence dot and BIAS flips back to BULL. Pulse STRENGTH curls up off the zero line.

THE TRADE: Buy the close. Stop just below the dip low. Target the prior swing high or trail with the fast EMA.

WHAT YOU SEE: Higher-timeframe trend is BEAR. Price rips into the fast EMA. Trigger fires a pink SELL RIP arrow. Flow drops a red divergence dot — buyers pushed up but flow shows sellers absorbing. BIAS flips to BEAR.

THE TRADE: Short the close. Stop above the rip high. Target the prior swing low.

WHAT YOU SEE: A breakout/breakdown fires against the macro trend, then immediately fails. Pulse drops a cyan or red trap dot. Flow shows opposite-color absorption. The next candle closes back through the midpoint of the trap bar.

THE TRADE: Enter on the trap candle close. Stop above/below the failed extreme. These move fast — take half off quickly and trail the rest.

When ALL of these line up at once — things can RUN. This is A+. Every reading lined up. Size up, let it run, trail tight.

• ★ WEEKLY bullish (TIDE: HEAVY BULL FLOW or UNUSUAL BULL SURGE)
• ★ DAILY bullish (HM DAILY TREND + GRID: HOLDING BULL)
• ★ 4H bullish (HM 4H HIGH BETA + FLOW: BIAS BULL + ACCEL UP)
• ★ 1H squeeze firing (SQZ FIRED in bull regime)
• ★ FLOW accelerating (yellow ACCEL UP bars in the FLOW panel)
• ★ GRID holding bull (HOLDING BULL pill active)
• ★ TRIGGER confirming (CONFLUENCE BUY or BREAKOUT arrow — not just a candle color)
• ★ PULSE STRENGTH rising (strongly positive and climbing)
• ★ TIDE heavy bull flow (WK% above 120%, BUY% above 60%)

How it works. You sign in at your broker and allow Hou5eMoney to read market data on your behalf. We never see your password and never place an order. Your broker’s data is licensed to you, so it is shown only while you are signed in here, and only to you. A tastytrade connection holds until you disconnect it. Once it is on, everything goes live for you: the candles on every chart (all timeframes, refreshed every minute), the option chain with the market’s own IV, greeks, open interest and volume, and the underlying strip. tastytrade only sends real-time data to funded accounts — an account with no money in it gets 15-minute delayed data, so fund it (any amount) before you test the feed. Schwab and Tradier are coming; they are waiting on the brokers, not on us. Members without a connection keep the 15-minute feed with the current price on the latest candle.

1. Monitor is home, laid out like a broker’s Activity and Positions page. Balance & reset on top (size picks, Reset, Erase). Then Today’s Trade Activity: Working, Filled and Canceled orders, one row per leg, red rows sell and green rows buy. Then the Position Statement: every spread with its legs, mark, mark change, delta, P/L Open, P/L Day and BP Effect, subtotals per name, and your account status line.
2. Desk Lab (lab.html) replays the desk’s rule books on the real ledger: pick a board, stop, ceiling, hold and size and see what the account would have done. The earnings week with the desk read and the weekly leaderboard live there too.
3. Chart (in the top bar) is the full trade station: any symbol on live candles, the chain and strategies, time & sales, alerts, the desk read on the name, and one-click orders to this paper account.
4. Trade is the chart, the option chain and Order Entry on one screen. Load a vetted symbol, read the chart, click the chain to build a spread, send it.
5. Community (top nav) is the feed: paper trades members chose to share, built by the site with the grade and the six checks, plus the desk’s upcoming events and lessons. Post yours with the Post button on any Monitor row or graded trade.
6. Rating is your Discipline Rating: six checks on every closed paper trade, none on profit. Today’s three tasks and streak, every graded trade with its checks, the season board, and your replay rating from Play.
7. Account is your starting size ($10K default; pick $20K, $50K, $100K or your own), the Paper Account cards, the 10% / 1% / 3% calculators and the broker you place real trades at.
8. Log is every closed trade. Paper trades write themselves in; add by hand anything placed at a broker.
9. Journal is where you write your notes after each trade, plus quick notes during the session.
10. Live Data connects your own Schwab or tastytrade. Once connected, every chart runs on live candles, and the Trade tab’s chain carries real-time quotes, IV, greeks and open interest. Schwab connections last seven days; tastytrade holds until you disconnect.
11. Guide is this page. Everything you type is saved on this device; paper positions and orders live on the desk and follow you between devices. Press Export once a week to back the rest up.

No ticket may tie up more than 10% of your equity, and there is no margin: what a trade ties up must be free cash. Every ticket shows Ties up $X = Y% of your account before you send — green is fine, amber is near the cap, red will not send and tells you the most contracts it would take. The other 90% stays free for the next setup and for defending what is on. Reset closes everything at the mark and restarts the record; Erase deletes every trade and starts fresh.

Every ticket on the site is laid out the way a broker’s order screen is. Tap the ? on any ticket for the same read in place.

1. Type a vetted symbol and press Load. The Underlying strip, the chart and the chain fill in. Pick an expiration pill; the row under it shows implied volatility and the expected move.
2. Choose a Spread (Single, Vertical, Iron Condor, Butterfly, Straddle, Strangle) and a Width. Click an Ask to buy, a Bid to sell; the other legs build themselves.
3. Right-click a price (press and hold on a phone) for the full menu: BUY or SELL by spread type, Analyze on the chart, add to watchlist, copy the contract symbol.
4. Order Entry shows one row per leg. Set the price with the slider or the steppers, set the quantity, read the expected price and the 10% line, then Confirm and Send.
5. The Order and Strategy Book under it lists every order today with its status and Modify / Cancel on the working ones. The Position block shows what you hold in that name.

1. Close on the row (Monitor or Trade tab): closes at the current mark, books the result, writes it to the Log.
2. Exits opens the closing ticket: a target (LIMIT — fills at your price when the mark reaches it) and/or a stop (fires once the price is through it, fills at the mark; on the spread or on the underlying). OCO sets both; a fill cancels the other side. The +25 / +50 / +100% chips match the playbook’s exit rules.
3. Resting orders show under Working Orders with the live mark and distance. They are checked every two minutes through the session and every minute while you have the site open. Fills and cancels go to Filled / Canceled and the Order and Strategy Book.

Hou5eMoney never places a real order and never connects to a brokerage. Pick your broker once (Account → Your Broker; every tile has a Trade link and a Site link, and prop firms are listed too). Then a ticket set to My broker writes the order out for you to paste and opens your broker’s trade screen. Check every number there: their quotes are live.

Charts and the chain are about 15 minutes behind unless you connect live data. Paper positions are marked with a model calibrated to the price you filled at, against a live last trade; delta, mark change and P/L Day come from the same model. A mark here will not match a real broker to the cent, and a good paper month never guarantees a good real one. Simulated performance does not ensure success in a live environment.
