The problem every trader knows
Open TradingView. Alt-tab to your journal spreadsheet. Check Twitter for breaking news. Flip to your options flow scanner. Copy numbers into your backtesting tool. Rinse. Repeat.
The average active trader uses 5 to 10 separate tools just to execute a single trading day. Each one has its own login, its own subscription, its own learning curve. By the time you've gathered the information you need, the opportunity has already moved.
What if everything lived where you already trade?
That's the idea behind TradeBoxOS. Instead of building another standalone platform that competes for screen real estate, we built a TradingView extension that brings the tools to you.
No new tabs. No new apps. No new workflows to learn.
- Flash News: Real-time news, tweets, and economic data aggregated into a single feed, right next to your charts.
- Smart Journal: Log trades with one click. Track emotions, setups, and P&L over time with AI-generated insights.
- Agent Mode: Describe a strategy in plain English, and our AI backtests it against historical data instantly.
Why a TradingView extension?
TradingView is where 60M+ traders already spend their time. We believe the best tools don't pull you away from your workflow. They enhance it. A browser extension means:
- Zero setup. Install and it's there
- No context switching. Everything beside your chart
- Works on any device with Chrome
- Updates automatically, no maintenance
What's next
We're currently in early access. If you're tired of tab-hopping and want your trading tools consolidated into one place, join the waitlist. We're rolling out access in batches and prioritizing feedback from early users.
This is just the beginning. We have a roadmap full of features that will make TradeBoxOS the operating system every trader deserves.
