What you get
Three glyphs and a crest that float over your charts. Name your weaknesses, give each counter-behavior a button, and one press logs it — a permanent record of the trader you're forging. Behind it, one condition all day: FORTIFIED or VULNERABLE, impossible not to know.
Your credentials never touch our servers. Your broker, your platform, your rules.
One warning you'll see, and why
There's no code-signing certificate on this build yet, so Windows doesn't recognize the publisher. That's the only reason you'll see a warning. Here's exactly what it looks like and how to get past it.
- Double-click Forge-Setup-<version>.exe after downloading it.
- A blue Windows box appears, titled "Windows protected your PC." That's Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, and it's expected.
- There's no "Run anyway" button at first, it's tucked behind a small link. Click More info.
- The box expands to show the publisher and a Run anyway button. Click it, and the install continues.
- That's the only prompt. Once you click through, the Forge installs and opens on its own.
Nothing here means the file is unsafe, it means we haven't bought a signing certificate yet. That's on the roadmap, and once it's in place this warning goes away.
On first launch
The Forge parks itself in your Windows system tray with a small status badge on screen, and it's ready to arm the moment you are. Nothing else happens automatically, you open it, arm your day, and it stays out of the way until you need it.
