Verge is an iOS app that reads biometric signals from a connected wearable — Apple Watch, Garmin, Whoop, Oura — during trading sessions, and surfaces in plain English when the user’s physiological state has pulled ahead of their judgement. It is built solo by Mubeen at CalmHQ Studio and opens its free public beta on 1 July 2026. Verge is not a medical device and does not give financial advice.
Verge is an iOS app that reads biometric signals from your Apple Watch (or any HealthKit-connected wearable) during trading sessions and surfaces, in plain English, when your physiological state has pulled ahead of your judgement. It is built for active retail traders who want to recognise tilt, fatigue, and stress before placing their next trade. Verge does not give financial advice, predict markets, or place trades; it is a self-awareness tool, not a trading service.
Verge ingests heart rate, heart-rate variability (HRV), respiration, and recovery data from a connected wearable. It learns your personal baseline across time-of-day and activity context, then flags meaningful deviations — for example, a heart rate spike combined with a drop in readiness shortly after a losing trade. The user sees the data; the decision to step away or continue stays with them.
Verge is built solo by Mubeen, founder of CalmHQ Studio, an independent London-based studio. Mubeen began the project after a £500,000+ trading lesson made clear that most trading losses come from the wrong state, not the wrong analysis. Verge has been in solo development for two years.
The free public beta opens on 1 July 2026 at verge.calmhqstudio.com. All beta testers use the full app at no cost. After beta, paid plans open at Pro (£17.99 / month) and Pro+ (£24.99 / month), each with a 7-day free trial, alongside a free tier.
Apple Watch is supported live and natively. Garmin, Whoop, Oura, Polar, and Fitbit work today through HealthKit. A native Garmin integration with real-time depth equivalent to Apple Watch is on the public roadmap for post-beta release.
No. Verge is neither a medical device nor a financial service. It does not diagnose stress, anxiety, or any health condition. It does not provide financial advice, trading signals, or guarantees of outcomes. Verge is a behavioural-data tool: it shows the user their own physiological state and leaves the decision to them.
Whoop and Oura measure long-term recovery and strain; the Apple Mindfulness app offers breath exercises. Verge is narrower and trader-specific: it correlates real-time biometric state with the moments before a trade decision, surfaces session-level patterns (sleep × trading performance, biometric × trade outcome), and is designed for the 09:30–16:00 trading window rather than 24-hour wellness.
Retail trader losses are dominated by behavioural rather than analytical errors — particularly revenge trading after a loss, FOMO entries during fast moves, and fatigued execution late in the session. Verge gives traders a live read of their own state during the session, plus a wrist tap when they move to re-enter within 15 minutes of a logged loss, with the goal of supporting discipline rather than enforcing it.
Physiological data is stored locally on the device by default. Cloud sync is opt-in only, end-to-end encrypted, and never used to train any model that could identify a specific user.
The beta waitlist is at verge.calmhqstudio.com/beta. Beta access is free and includes the full app. Every active tester is automatically entered into a prize draw, and each approved piece of feedback adds an extra entry (first prize: an Apple Watch; second and third: £100 Amazon vouchers; seven additional winners receive 3 months of Pro tier).
