A tactile risk sizer + order console for Bookmap
Ante up. Drag your entry, stop and target — Ante 9 sizes the position to your max risk, shows live contracts and R:R, and fires the bracket. Map it to a MIDI controller and your risk lives under real knobs and switches on your desk. You operate it. It just makes the move deliberate.

From flat to bracketed in four moves
Set your max risk once
Set your max dollar risk per trade — your hard ceiling. Ante 9 holds it and sizes every position so the distance to your stop never breaks it.
Set your levels on the chart
Dial entry, stop and target on the knobs — or grab the lines right on the chart and drag them. Either way, contracts recalculate live to keep risk inside your ceiling.
Tap Now to drop the entry at the current price.
Read the meter, set the target
Watch the meter as you nudge the target — contracts, dollar risk and R:R settle live, so you set the level until the reward-to-risk reads right.
Arm, fire, manage
The bracket switch sends entry, stop and target together. Take and Add scale you out or in; the red switch flattens. Set it up so your fills land right in your Bookmap journal.
One flip from watching to working
It stays a thin strip while you read the tape. Arm it and the full execution deck deploys — send the bracket, scale in and out, and flatten on one switch. Fire and manage without ever leaving the chart.
Watch it size a trade in one motion
Drag the stop, watch contracts and R:R settle, tap the bracket. No mental math, no fat-finger.
A different way to be in the trade
You're driving the position by hand — dial the levels, scale your size, flip the switch — instead of clicking through dialogs. You feel like you're in the trade, the moves become muscle memory, and — we'll just say it — it's more fun. The driver's seat, not the autopilot.
In the driver's seat
Work the trade by hand — dial size, set the levels, fire the bracket. It feels like operating the position, not requesting it through a menu.
Present in the tape
Eyes on the DOM, hands on the knobs. Scale in and out without breaking gaze to hunt menus — you stay with the order flow.
Muscle memory
Same control, same place, every session. Flatten is always the red switch — under pressure your hand knows where to go.
Bring your own controller
Map every control to a MIDI controller you already own. Knobs become entry, stop and target. Buttons scale you in and out. Switches arm — and flatten. Your hands stay on the desk, your eyes stay on the tape, and the dangerous part of trading gets a deliberate, physical motion.
We trade the same instruments you do. Ante 9 is the order console we wanted on our own desks — built so the dangerous part of trading feels deliberate, and the boring part feels good. It's a tool you operate. It never tells you what to trade, and it never promises a result.
