The clearest, most honest trading desk for people who want to actually understand what they're doing — live charts, plain-English signal reads, forecasts, backtested scenarios and a coach in your corner. For a fraction of what the signal-sellers charge.
Ten tools, one desk — and every one of them explains itself.
Gold, crypto, US stocks & ETFs — one minute to monthly.
Trend, RSI, MACD and momentum on one bearish-to-bullish dial, every signal explained.
Projection ranges, pivots, Fibonacci and bull / base / bear cards — always scenarios, never predictions.
Forex, crypto, gold and shares explained from scratch — simple enough for a complete beginner.
See how a strategy actually behaved — wins and drawdowns — before you ever risk a penny.
Practise on live prices with a virtual balance and a track record you can trust.
A study coach that finds setups, sizes the risk and shows its full reasoning. Simulated, never a signal.
Explains your charts, your numbers and your mistakes, in language you'll understand.
Risk-first sizing and a record that turns your history into real lessons.
Your private desk follows you from phone to laptop.
Every signal, score and scenario shows its reasoning. Nothing is hidden behind a black box or a “trust me.” If you don't understand it, we've failed — so we explain all of it.
We show how strategies really behaved, including the losing streaks. The people charging you hundreds a month for “signals” almost never show you that — because it wouldn't look good.
Guides, a coach and behavioural feedback are built in, so you leave a better, calmer decision-maker — not dependent on someone else's tips.
The tools the expensive desks gate behind £50–£300 a month, built to be clearer and kinder to beginners, at a price that doesn't punish you for learning.

Charting platforms are powerful and we love them — but they're built for people who already know their way around, and they don't teach, coach, or show you an honest record. Signal rooms sell you someone else's calls at a premium and leave you no wiser. Decision Desk is built to make you better, transparently, for a fraction of the cost.

A decision-support and education tool for reading markets: live gold, crypto and stock charts, plain-English signal reads, forecast scenarios, a free Guide that teaches from scratch, and — for members — a trade planner, a simulated Desk Bot and a news desk. It never tells you what to buy.
No. Decision Desk is a decision-support and education tool. Everything is generic information calculated from public market data — never a personal recommendation. We're not authorised or regulated by the FCA, and we don't know your circumstances.
Never. We don't handle funds and don't execute anything. You place any real trade yourself, on your own broker, at your own risk.
No — it's a simulator and study coach. It shows you setups, sizes the risk and explains its thinking so you learn the craft. Any real trade is your decision.
Gold and silver (spot), major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, and US stocks and ETFs — with charts from one-minute to monthly timeframes.
Because we do the heavy maths in your browser and teach you to fish instead of selling you fish. There's no expensive trading-room overhead to pass on to you.
Anytime. You keep access until the end of the period you've paid for, and new subscribers get a 14-day refund.
Yes. Your desk lives in a private record only your login can read; we never sell it. See the privacy policy.
No — you connect a free personal data key in two minutes, and for members it follows you between devices.
Decision Desk never tells you what to buy. It puts the evidence in front of you — price, trend, momentum, sentiment, your own history — and gives you the tools professionals use to stay disciplined. Your decisions stay yours; the desk keeps you honest about them. Education & decision support, not financial advice.
Moving averages describe the trend: price above a rising 50- and 200-day average is a healthy uptrend; the 50-day crossing above the 200-day (a golden cross) marks a bullish regime, crossing below (a death cross) a bearish one. MACD compares short and long momentum — above its signal line means momentum is with the trend. RSI measures how stretched the recent move is: above 70 is overbought (prone to pause or pull back), below 30 oversold (prone to bounce). None of these predict — they describe the balance of evidence.
The channel fits a straight line through the last 90 closes and extends it forward with a band of two standard deviations of the recent scatter. It answers "where does the current trajectory point if nothing changes" — a famous, simple baseline traders use to frame decisions. It is an extrapolation of the past, not a prediction: news, cycles and sentiment can and do break trends. Use it to set expectations and levels, never as a promise.
Scenarios are pattern recognition on live price structure, recomputed every refresh on the timeframe you have selected. The desk checks six well-known conditions: pullbacks to a rising MA 50 inside a golden-cross regime, fresh golden crosses with momentum confirming, oversold RSI inside an uptrend, price pressing a breakout level, overbought stretch at the upper Bollinger band, and established downtrends. Each match is turned into concrete numbers — entry style (limit, stop or market), a volatility-based stop from ATR, a target at a fixed reward-to-risk — and is then cross-examined for independent confluence: does the higher timeframe agree, is momentum turning the same way, does the entry sit on a pivot or fibonacci level, is price extended, is volatility running hot, is the crowd at an extreme. The fors and againsts are shown on each card, and your own historical record with that setup completes the ranking — record first, then net confluence. It reads price, trend, momentum, volatility and levels only: it does not read news, order flow or social feeds, and it never predicts — it frames disciplined options and leaves the decision with you. The sentiment gauges on the desk add the crowd-mood check alongside.
Scans run about every five minutes while the desk is open in a tab, reusing cached data first to stay inside your free data plan. A ping is pattern recognition, never a call to trade — open the Overview and Forecast tabs and judge it yourself.
Professional sizing works backwards from risk: decide the most you are willing to lose (account × risk %), divide by the distance from entry to stop, and that is your position size. The reward-to-risk ratio compares the distance to your target against the distance to your stop — at 2:1 you can be wrong more often than right and still come out ahead, which is why the desk defaults there. The ATR stop places your stop one-and-a-half average daily ranges away, outside normal noise.
The bot works while this site is open in a browser tab — including in the background, though browsers may slow background tabs. It does not run when the site is closed, and it never places real orders anywhere. Turn on notifications to get pinged when a simulated trade opens, when the bot updates it (breakeven, trailing) and when it closes. On Android this works right in the browser; on iPhone, add the desk to your Home Screen first — Apple only allows notifications for installed web apps. Multi-timeframe scans reuse cached chart data and are budgeted to stay inside your free data plan.
How it exits: every sim starts with a fixed stop and target, then adapts \u2014 the stop moves to breakeven once the idea is +1R in profit, trails the market by 2\u00d7ATR beyond +1.5R, a time stop closes anything with no follow-through after the tuner\u2019s max-hold bars, and if the timeframe\u2019s regime turns against the idea it banks the gain or cuts the loss early rather than riding to the full stop. Every close names the rule that acted \u2014 check the \u201cWhy\u201d column in the record below.
Headlines come straight from the RSS feeds you add — nothing is curated or generated by the desk. Many publishers block direct browser access, so when needed items are fetched through a public relay (allorigins.win); if a source ever fails, try another feed URL from the same publisher. Timestamps are the publisher's own. News is context for your judgement, not a signal: the scenario engine deliberately does not trade on it.
Free for everyone, written so a ten-year-old could follow it. Two short paths: what these markets actually are, then how to read the desk. Education, not advice — the desk teaches you to decide; it never tells you what to buy.
Your account. A free account lets you open the full desk. With a membership, your desk — watchlist, trade record, alerts, news sources, settings and your market-data key — also syncs privately between your devices. Price-history caches don't sync; each device refreshes its own.
Syncing. Saves happen automatically a moment after you change something, and the Account panel shows the last synced time. The rule to remember: the most recent save wins. When you pick up a new device, sign in first and let your desk load before making changes there, so your latest cloud copy comes down first.
Backups. Settings → Export downloads your desk as a file any time. Importing a backup restores it — and the restored version becomes your cloud copy too.
Wiping. “Wipe all desk data” in Settings removes your desk from the browser — and if you're signed in, it permanently deletes your cloud copy as well. That's real deletion; there's no undo, so export a backup first if in doubt.
Live prices. The desk uses a free personal key from twelvedata.com (Settings → paste it in — takes two minutes). Your key syncs with your account, so you only set it up once.
Membership tiers. Basic unlocks cloud sync across your devices. Pro adds the trade planner & trade log and the curated news desk. You can upgrade from the Account panel at any time; changes to your plan take effect straight away.
Questions, problems, billing, or want your account and data deleted entirely? Email support@mydecisiondesk.com from the address on your account and we'll reply as soon as we can — normally within a couple of days.

Who we are. Decision Desk is operated by the owner of mydecisiondesk.com. For anything privacy-related, contact support@mydecisiondesk.com.
What we collect. If you create an account: your email address and your desk data (watchlist, trade record, alerts, news sources, settings and your market-data API key), stored so the desk can sync between your devices. If you subscribe: payments are handled entirely by Stripe — we never see or store your card details; we receive only your email and payment status. If you email support: your message and address. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies; the site stores its working data in your browser's local storage, which is essential for the desk to function.
How we use it. To provide the service you signed up for (running your account, syncing your desk, taking payments, answering support) and to keep the service safe. We may also analyse desk data in aggregated, anonymised form — for example, overall win rates or how often stop-losses are respected across all members — to improve the product and build educational features. These statistics never identify you, and your individual data is never sold or shared with anyone for marketing.
Where it lives. We use a small number of trusted processors to run the service: Supabase (our database, hosted in London), Stripe (payments), Cloudflare (website hosting and email routing) and our transactional email provider (account confirmation and password-reset emails). Each processes your data only on our instructions.
How long we keep it. For as long as your account exists. “Wipe all desk data” while signed in deletes your synced desk immediately; emailing support deletes your account and email entirely. Payment records are retained by Stripe as required by financial regulations.
Your rights. Under UK GDPR you can ask for a copy of your data, have it corrected or deleted, object to processing, or take your data elsewhere — email support to exercise any of these. If you're unhappy with how we've handled your data, you can complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Age. Decision Desk deals with investment markets and is intended for adults aged 18 or over.
Changes. If this policy changes materially, we'll say so on the site. The date above always tells you the current version.

1. What Decision Desk is. Decision Desk is a decision-support and education tool: charts, indicators, scenarios and a planning framework that help you read markets, understand the graphs and keep an honest record of your own decisions. By using the site you agree to these terms.
2. Not financial advice. Decision Desk is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Nothing on this site is investment advice, a personal recommendation, or an invitation to buy or sell any investment. The desk does not know your circumstances; every figure, indicator, projection and scenario is generic information calculated from publicly available market data. We never handle your money and never execute trades. Any decision you make, and any trade you place anywhere, is yours alone.
3. Risk. Investing puts your capital at risk and you may lose money. Cryptoassets are high-risk and largely unregulated in the UK; be prepared to lose everything you put into them. Past performance, back-tests and sample data are not reliable indicators of future results. If you are unsure whether an investment is right for you, speak to an FCA-authorised financial adviser.
4. Your account. You must be 18 or over. Keep your password safe — you're responsible for activity on your account. One account per person; don't share logins.
5. Membership & billing. Subscriptions are billed by Stripe and renew automatically each month until cancelled. You can cancel any time by emailing support or via the link in your Stripe receipt; you keep access until the end of the period you've paid for. If you're a new subscriber you may cancel within 14 days of first subscribing for a full refund — just email support. Prices may change; we'll give existing members reasonable notice before any change affects them.
6. Fair use. The desk is for your personal use. Don't scrape or resell the data, share your account, attempt to break or overload the service, or use it for anything unlawful.
7. Data accuracy & availability. Prices, sentiment and news come from third-party providers and may be delayed, incomplete or inaccurate — always verify figures with your broker or the primary source before acting. The service is provided “as is”: we work hard to keep it running and improving, but we don't guarantee uninterrupted availability and we may change or withdraw features.
8. Liability. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for trading or investment losses, loss of profit, or indirect losses arising from your use of the site, and our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for fraud, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded — and nothing affects your statutory rights as a consumer.
9. Ending things. You can stop using the desk and delete your account at any time (see Support). We may suspend or close accounts that breach these terms.
10. Changes & law. We may update these terms; material changes will be flagged on the site and continued use means acceptance. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and disputes belong to the courts of England and Wales (consumers keep any protections of their local law).
