Your trading year, worked out in full.
Track your trades, work out your UK capital gains, and study the market.
Free, with no in-app purchases at launch.
CandleWatch keeps the record of what you actually traded — every leg, every fee, every currency conversion — and works out what it adds up to, including the UK capital-gains matching that a spreadsheet gets wrong. Every figure shows its workings, so you can check it rather than trust it.
It is a learning tool, not a tipping service and not financial advice. Most apps open with what to buy. This one opens with what you already did, because that is the part where being right is possible: arithmetic on your own record can simply be correct. Reading the market is a different kind of claim, so those tools sit behind the accounting rather than in front of it, and each one shows its inputs instead of asserting a verdict.
Trades, holdings, fees and the whole capital-gains computation are worked out on your device and need no signal. Live market data is the exception, and the honest one: prices, filings and news are fetched from the outside world when you ask for them, so those need a connection.
No analytics, no tracking, no crash reporting and no advertising identifier. Used on its own the app has no account and no server, so there is nowhere for your book to have gone. If you add your own market-data or AI key, those requests go to that provider under their terms, using your key, and never through us.
Your trades, your fees and your currency conversions, kept as a record rather than a guess, and each leg booked at the rate on the day it happened. Every figure shows its workings, so you can check it instead of trusting it.
UK capital gains computed from that record, with the reasoning shown against each disposal and an export at the end of it. A computation you can check, not tax advice. It files nothing for you and it says plainly what it cannot account for.
Charts, indicators, market breadth and company filings, in the same place as the record they belong to. Everything is shown with what it was based on, never asserted.
Nearly all of it is yours to configure, and when you change something the app tells you what that changes and why. The defaults are a starting point for learning, not a house view.
The full picture, screen by screen, is on candlewatch.co.uk. In closed testing — the Android and iPhone buttons above turn on the day each listing goes public.
CandleWatch is an educational and simulation tool. It does not provide financial, investment, tax or legal advice, it is not a broker, and it cannot place trades. Nothing in it is a recommendation to buy or sell anything. Market data may be delayed. Trend reads are illustrative and can be wrong. Any decision you make is your own, and you are solely responsible for it. Never risk money you cannot afford to lose.
