I built the tools I wanted on Vest. One-click orders, your stop and target on the chart, hotkeys, a voice that says what filled, and limits that hold. It’s free.
Recorded on Vest with the demo position and sample accounts. Nothing was sent.
What traders asked me for most, in one update.
“Long opened”, “Stopped out”, “Take profit hit”, in one of six voices.
Stop and target in points, dollars or a price. Switch on RISK, type what you’d lose and the size follows.
A countdown to the New York open and to CPI, NFP, FOMC, GDP and PCE.
Lock any account for a while, set a daily profit limit, cool down after a bad run.
Another timeframe or another market beside Vest’s chart. Click one to trade it.
Your trades replayed candle by candle, from the real price of every second.
Better Vest lives on Vest’s own page. It adds what’s missing and leaves Vest’s ticket to send every order.
Trade on one account and copy every order to the others, at the size you set for each. Run several groups, each with its own leader.
Every position gets its stop and target drawn on the chart, with what each one would make or cost. Drag a line to move it.
Press STOP, then click the chart where it should trigger. Above the price it’s a buy stop, below it a sell stop.
More about trading on the chartPut more charts beside Vest’s own: another timeframe or another market. Each keeps its own drawings and follows your theme.
A small card sits over your chart. Choose your size, set your stop and target, press LONG or SHORT. Vest’s own ticket sends the order with both attached.
Click one of your sizes. The card shows what your stop and your target come to in dollars.
Switch on RISK and type what you’d lose. The size follows your stop: a wider stop, a smaller size, the same dollars.
Or your own keys.
Switch on TRAIL and your stop follows the price at the distance you set. AUTO BE moves it to breakeven once the price has gone far enough.
More about trading on the chartThe worst days start with one more trade. Better Vest can stop you taking it, on the accounts you pick.
Keep your eyes on the chart. A calm voice says what just happened: a fill, a stop, a target, a limit, the news.
A chip on the card counts down to the New York open and to every US release that moves the market. Under five minutes it turns red and the voice tells you.
Turn your day into a card: a summary, a replay of your trades on the chart, or the payout you just got.
Your P&L day by day, for one account or all of them, with your win rate, risk, R, notes and payouts. Alt J opens it.

It isn’t on the Chrome Web Store yet, so you add it to Chrome yourself. Seven short steps, and you only do it once.
After that, updates are one click. When a new version is out the dock shows Update, and Better Vest checks that every file is signed by me before it writes a single one.
What Better Vest can touch, and what it can’t.
Yes. No subscription, no trial, no account. It’s free, though it isn’t open source.
Only what you set up yourself: a stop order fires when the price reaches it, a trailing stop or Auto BE moves your stop once you switch it on, the copier copies when you turn it on, and the loss limit closes your positions only if you switch that option on. Everything else happens when you press a button or a key.
Better Vest is for Chrome on a Mac or a Windows PC.
No. Better Vest is my own work and isn’t affiliated with Vest. Use it under Vest’s terms, and remember you are responsible for every order on your account.
When you buy an evaluation or a bespoke account, Better Vest asks once if you’d like to use code WICK. It costs you nothing extra and it’s what pays for updates. It only goes in when you say yes, and you can turn the question off.
When a new version is out, the dock shows an Update button. One click downloads it from GitHub, checks my signature on every file and updates the folder you installed. You can also check any time in Settings, More.
Open chrome://extensions and click Remove under Better Vest. Then delete the folder you unzipped.
