About the Trading Psychology Check
Why check your mindset before a trade
Pressure such as trying to win back a loss, fear of missing out, anger or tiredness can pull a trader away from the written plan. These six yes or no questions ask about those pressures so you can pause before entering.
- Recovering a recent loss quickly
- Fear of missing out
- Taking more risk than your plan allows
- Feeling angry, stressed or rushed
- Looking for a trade out of boredom
- Being tired or struggling to focus
How to read the summary
The summary lists the concerns you answered Yes to and any questions you left unanswered. If you answered Yes to at least one question, it also adds a reminder to pause and review your trading plan before you enter. It is a prompt for your own self-review. It does not score you, diagnose anything, detect how you feel or assess the trade.
Example result and how to use it
If you answer Yes to the first and fourth questions, the summary shows Concerns you reported (2), lists Trying to recover a recent loss quickly and Feeling angry, stressed or rushed, and adds a reminder to consider pausing to review your trading plan before you enter. If every answer is No, it only says you did not report any of the listed concerns.
Treat the summary as a prompt for your own review, not as a diagnosis or a prediction. It only repeats what you told it, so a clean result does not mean the trade is a good one, and a flagged result does not mean you will lose. What you do next, such as pausing, reducing risk or skipping the trade, is your decision and should follow your written plan.
