Designing a smarter way for traders to discover and manage high-probability trading opportunities.
Setup Radar is a mobile trading companion designed to help traders identify market opportunities through real-time alerts, strategy tracking, and performance insights. I designed the end-to-end product experience, transforming complex market data into intuitive workflows that support faster, more informed trading decisions.
Trading platforms often overwhelm users with charts, indicators, and fragmented information. While experienced traders can navigate this complexity, newer traders often struggle to identify quality setups and track their performance over time.
Setup Radar was designed as a mobile-first companion that simplifies market analysis by surfacing actionable trading opportunities, organizing strategies, and helping traders build consistency through performance tracking and journaling.

The Challenge
Successful trading relies on making informed decisions quickly, yet many platforms prioritize data density over clarity.
Trading platforms often present users with an overwhelming amount of information, from technical indicators and market data to multiple watchlists and trading tools. While experienced traders may know what to focus on, many users struggle to quickly identify meaningful opportunities without feeling overloaded. The challenge was to design a mobile experience that simplifies complex trading workflows, helping users discover high-probability setups, monitor market activity, and track their performance in a way that feels intuitive, focused, and actionable.
