Pipper — trade projection HUD Beta · free to try

Pipper

See exactly where your trade lands before you commit. A display-only Bookmap HUD that draws your entry, stop, and scaled targets — plus a gold line showing where the trade becomes risk-neutral. It never touches your orders.

🔒 Read-only by design. Pipper has no order-routing path — it never sends, places, or modifies a trade. It only draws and reads.
  • Free projection HUD — entry, stop & scaled targets (up to 2 contracts)
  • Risk-neutral guide line + green/red status badge
  • Pro: automatic live-position tracking, slippage-aware
  • Pro: captures each trade for your journal (HindSight / TraderLab 101)

DeepSight — MBO order flow for Bookmap COMING SOON

DeepSight

See more than what executed. DeepSight follows CME MBO order lifecycles to show the executed total, observed reloads, and inferred hidden quantity directly on your Bookmap chart.

  • Executed total — quantity directly observed trading
  • Observed reloads — replenishment seen in the lifecycle
  • Inferred hidden quantity — explicitly labeled estimate
  • Custom chart glyphs, defended zones, and ETH/RTH context

Evidence before conviction. EdgeSight is a foundation-stage ES-futures research add-on that keeps observations separate, makes source health visible, and preserves sessions for reproducible evaluation.

  • Evidence sources stay separated and health-visible
  • RTH session records support repeatable review
  • CompStack and DeepSight integration is being developed and tested
  • No trade calls, order routing, live self-training, or claimed edge

About SDES

Built by a trader who needed better tools.

SDES is a one-person software studio run by an active futures trader. Every product starts from the same place — something I needed that didn't exist in the form I wanted, so I built it.

The tools are tested the only way that matters: on live sessions, every trading day. No venture capital, no feature committees, no roadmaps written by people who've never placed a trade — just software that works, maintained by the person who uses it.
