FirstBell™ is a professional-grade trading decision engine that runs on your own computer. It is NOT a signal service. It does not tell you what to trade, does not trade for you, and does not provide financial advice.

Each morning before the open, FirstBell runs a five-stage pipeline:

SCAN — Screens 500+ stocks for breakouts, pullbacks, and momentum setups. Results ranked by conviction score before 9:30 AM.

AI CONVICTION AUDIT — Write your trade thesis. Local AI (runs on your own GPU — zero API fees, your data never leaves your machine) returns SAFE or BIASED with a specific critique.

TRADE GATE — Five automated checks must all pass before the order button activates: trend alignment, value area, entry criteria, stop loss, and R:R ratio.

RISK ENGINE — Automatic position sizing from your account size and max risk. Daily loss limit, kill switch at 75%, and 3-loss behavioral lockout.

JOURNAL & COACH — Every trade logged with reasoning and outcome. Weekly AI coaching reviews your patterns.
