Meet Spyglass, the Captain on every tab.
Spyglass is the CaptainTrade browser extension. It pins a floating Captain to every site you visit so you can ask questions about what you're looking at, get charts and tickers explained in plain English, capture trade ideas, and pull anything on screen back into your CaptainTrade dashboard without ever leaving the page.
Works in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera and every Chromium browser. Unzip, load unpacked, and the Captain hoists his Spyglass.

What Spyglass does
A full toolkit on every page you open, not just CaptainTrade.
Highlight a sentence, a chart, a ticker, or a whole article and get a clear answer in seconds. No copy and paste, no tab switching.
Point Spyglass at a TradingView, broker or news chart and the Captain calls out the structure, key levels, momentum and risk.
Hover any term you don't know, from IV crush to Bollinger bands, and get a plain English explanation tuned to your experience level.
Screenshot a setup straight from the page. It saves to your Captain's Log with the URL, timestamp and your notes attached.
The Captain marks the exact element he's talking about with arrows, never blocking the text underneath.
Open your broker's order ticket and Spyglass sanity checks position size against your account rules before the trade is sent.
From TradingView to your broker, the Captain rides along
Spyglass attaches to any tab. Open a TradingView chart and ask the Captain to read the structure. Land on a news article and pull a one paragraph trade angle. Sit on your broker's order ticket and double check the risk before you click buy. Same Captain, every site.
