About
About HESTOL.
HESTOL is a futures trading workspace built by Lorthen Software LLC, designed to connect daily game plans, session notes, trading journals and performance review, with optional CORE-powered assistance. It is built for futures traders who want their preparation, in-session context and review in one connected record.
How the pieces connect
Game plan
Write down the conditions, levels and risk limits you intend to trade before the session.
Session notes
Record what changed and why you acted — or didn't — while the session is happening.
Journal
Keep each trade with its reasoning, risk timeline and the plan it belonged to.
Review
Compare sessions and setups so the next game plan starts from what actually happened.
CORE assistance is optional
CORE is the intelligence foundation behind HESTOL's assistance. Journaling, analytics, session comparison and planning are designed to work on their own; CORE is an optional second perspective, not a requirement.
