Welcome to Happy Dog Trading - Our Beta Journey Begins!
Hi everyone!
I'm Dave, and together with my zen master dog Petra, we're thrilled to launch Happy Dog Trading into Beta!

A Goofy Old Guy's Trading Journey
Trading futures through prop firms has taught me more about discipline, psychology, and managing my emotional self than almost anything else in life. It has not yet made me tons of money. I'm slowly improving though. And while I may not be great at trading (yet!), I am very good at building helpful software - and that's exactly what I want to share with you.
Why Happy Dog Trading Exists
As I progressed through my trading journey, I found myself wanting better tools - specifically tools built for futures prop firm traders by futures prop firm traders. I wanted to:
- Monitor max drawdown and profit targets
- Track multiple accounts and their combined P&L
- Understand my trading patterns and where I'm improving (or not!)
- Keep an eye on prop firm concerns like microscalping and consistency rules
- Have everything in one place instead of scattered across spreadsheets and notes
I looked around and couldn't find what I had in mind. So I built it. And now I'm sharing it with all of you - completely free!
What We're Launching With
Starting today in Beta, you can:
✅ Import and track your trades - Easy CSV import from your trading platform
✅ Visualize your performance - Comprehensive P&L tracking, win rates, and risk metrics
✅ Monitor prop firm rules - Track daily loss limits, max drawdown, and profit targets
✅ Manage multiple accounts - See individual and combined performance across all your prop firm accounts
✅ Journal your trades - Document what worked, what didn't, and build your playbook
✅ Access our prop firm database - All the rules and details in one place (no more hunting across confusing websites!)
Beta Means We're Growing Together
I want to be transparent: we're in Beta which means things might not be perfect yet. You might encounter bugs, missing features, or areas that need improvement. That's actually where you come in!
I love the prop trading community - the vast majority are solid, helpful people who've already taught me so much. Now I want to give back and build something with you, not just for you.
Found a bug? Let me know!
Have a feature idea? I want to hear it!
Something confusing? Help me make it better!
There's a handy Feedback link in the nav menu - use it anytime. I genuinely appreciate constructive feedback and want to build what you actually need.

P.S. - Petra wants me to mention that she takes her supervisory role very seriously. Every feature has been thoroughly sniffed, every bug has been properly barked at, and she's already planning our next sprint (which she hopes involves more walks). Nevertheless, this is Beta software, so please be patient while we continue to improve it.
