Show HN: Free Ollama AI Trading Desktop App

VaultCharts launched a free desktop trading app that integrates AI analysis with traditional charting tools, allowing users to bring their own AI models from providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Ollama. The app emphasizes privacy by keeping API keys and prompts local, and offers features such as pattern scanning, portfolio review, and entry proximity detection.

VaultCharts·desktop charts·AI when you want it Fetch, scan, rank, confirm — like a co-trader on your desk. Indicators, patterns, and chart tools on your desktop — or ask the AI to pull the numbers. You stay in control. Free to start. Chart like TradingView. Analyze with AI when you want to. Two ways to work the same market data. Run indicators, patterns, and strategies on the chart yourself — or ask the assistant to fetch, scan, and summarize a setup. Same vault, your choice. Ask for analysis on a setup Bring your own model. The assistant fetches data, scans structure, and walks through the trade — grounded in what's loaded, not invented prices. Work the chart the classic way Indicators, patterns, drawing tools, and multi-timeframe structure — the same kind of manual technical analysis you'd run in TradingView. // ASSISTANT Built for the decision — not the monologue.
