Open beta transparency
Happy Dog Trading is growing in public. This page explains our product vision, what is useful today, and what we plan to build next.
A connected operating system for trader decisions, records, and review
Our long-term vision is not a pile of disconnected tools. It is a practical workflow: choose where to trade, monitor risk in real-time, capture what happened, protect the record, analyze the results, and keep learning.
Team Happy Dog
Product Roadmap: Current status of our app suite
PropShepherd
Compare prop firms, plans, rules, prices, platforms, payout methods, restrictions, and operational risk before choosing where to trade.
Sentinel
Use this NinjaTrader add-on while trading to see available drawdown, how much is at risk if every stop is hit, and quick alerts when trouble may be close.
Retriever
Capture trading activity from NinjaTrader first, with future room for screenshots, journal context, and other platform workflows.
Guardian
Keep a trader-owned data vault that survives platform changes, prop firm resets, passed evaluations, account phases, and commission data loss.
TradeHound
Analyze trades, journal decisions, inspect performance patterns, and manage the back-office reality of a trading business.
More Freebies
Collect free trading tools, useful extras, giveaways, and resources worth checking as the catalog grows.

Build education, guides, videos, inspiration, and community knowledge that helps traders keep improving.
