Why We Built VedaCharts

The backstory: why existing charting tools weren't solving the problem we had, and the design principles behind what we built instead.

This is a story about a spreadsheet.

A few years ago, one of us was trading discretionary swing setups across about 40 names. The process was: pull up charts in TradingView, eyeball the daily trend, flip to the hourly, check the 15-minute, write down "BUY / SELL / flat" in a Google sheet, repeat. It worked — but it took an hour every morning. An hour that came out of either sleep or coffee.

The design principles

When we started building VedaCharts, we wrote down three rules:

  • No indicator soup — the chart should be readable at a glance.

  • Signals should be explicit, not implied — BUY or SELL, not "well, MACD is crossing and RSI is..."

  • Multi-timeframe context should be one view, not five.

What changed

The morning routine collapsed from an hour to five minutes. Not because we trade less — we trade more — but because the spreadsheet now fills itself in.

The scanner that replaced the spreadsheet

We're not claiming the tool makes trading easy. Trading is hard. But getting the information to your brain in a form that respects your time — that part, we think we solved.
