Why I built Kandl
I'm a trader. My setups live on H1 and M15, and my rule is simple: I only act when the candle closes.
The problem was that the chart would swallow me. Drawing levels, checking the higher timeframe, waiting for confirmation… and when I looked up, the H1 candle had closed five minutes earlier. The entry was gone and I was chasing price. It happened more times than I'd like to admit.
Phone alarms didn't fix it: I forgot to reset them, and they never matched my broker's candle times. So I built the tool I needed. You analyze in peace; Kandl watches the clock.
