Eats the tape.
Not your account.
Your prop firm's rules on screen as live distances, the day's structure from CME data, and a scorecard that grades you against your own fills.
Describes conditions. Reflects your own arithmetic. Never tells you to trade.
Distance to every rule
Made for the account you're trying to keep.
Height above the floor. Trailing drawdown, daily loss limit, contract cap, consistency and the flat-by clock, as live distances, for your firm's exact plan.
Dealer walls, gamma flip, expected move and the regime flag from CME futures options. Every level carries its distance in ATR and the odds it gets reached today.
Your fills, stamped with the market state at entry and exit. Expectancy, MAE, win rate by regime, session and trade-number-of-the-week. Are you improving, or lucky?
Everything that moved the needle in three years of dialing it in. Nothing that didn't.
One screen, read top to bottom in under a minute before the open: what regime you are in, where the levels are and whether they are in reach, how the tape is leaning, what is on the calendar, how fast you are trading, and how you are doing. Signals, not a data dump.
Gamma flip 7,130 · between the walls a middle-third entry reaches a wall 1% of days · NDX book positive, flip 27,696.
Your fourth trade of the week averages −0.12R. Your first three average +0.55R. The line is yours; we only draw it.
Elevated, top decile of your own baseline. On days like this your MAE runs 1.4× normal. Know it before you click.
The rule lives in a PDF. The breach happens on screen.
One trailing-drawdown touch ends a funded account. Tapeworm keeps every rule as a number that moves with your open P&L, so "how much room do I have" is never a calculation you do in your head at 2:58.
- Trailing max loss, end-of-day or intraday, exactly as your firm computes it

A level is only a level if it's in reach.
Most published walls sit two or three expected moves away and never print. We measured it: every level shows its distance and the historical odds it gets touched today, so you know which ones are targets and which ones are decoration.
- Futures-native: gamma from ES, NQ, RTY options, not an SPX proxy
- Regime flag: gamma sign × liquidity × session phase
- Nothing here says buy or sell. It says where, and how often.
Grades you against you.
Every fill is stamped with what the screen showed at the moment you clicked. After thirty trades you can see which conditions you actually make money in, and which ones you only think you do.
- Read-only sync from ProjectX, Tradovate, Rithmic, NinjaTrader export, CSV
- Expectancy and MAE by regime, session, gate, trade number of the week
- Cells under 30 trades are not reported. Small samples lie.
