Monday **Log the day** The streak counts days logged, not days won 2. Tuesday **Check in** Ten seconds to tag the state you traded in 3. Wednesday **Test the rules** Backtests checked against your strategy on Plus and Pro 4. Thursday **Post the call in public** Entry, stop and target, resolved where everyone can see 5. Friday **Review the broken rule** The record shows it, and the review keeps it next time How it works 1. **Log every day you trade** The streak counts days logged, not days won. Missing a day is the thing it notices. 2. **Check in before and after** A pulse check-in takes ten seconds and tags the state you traded in. 3. **Review the trade you broke a rule on** The record shows it. The review is where the rule gets kept next time. Review ## Every trade gets a review, and it shows. Reviewed trades carry a mark. A month of marks is a month you sat down after every session, and a gap is a gap you can see. - Review prompt after the close - Journal entries with structure, free - Notes kept beside the trades Rules ## Rules written down before you test.

FAQ ### What counts toward the streak? A day with at least one trade logged or a journal entry written. Winning does not count; showing up does. ### What is a pulse check-in? A ten-second note of how you feel before or after a session, tagged so it can be read against the trades you took in that state. Three a day are free. ### Do goals update themselves? Yes, on every account. A goal reads the record and moves on its own, so the number in front of you is the true one. Pro adds the health score and every month behind the current one. ### Can the app stop me from over-trading? No, and it does not pretend to. It shows you the trade you took outside the plan, in the review, the day it happened. That is what changes the next one. ### Do I need a paid plan? No. The streak, journal entries, notes, self-updating goals and three check-ins a day are free. Goal history comes with Pro. ## Start the streak today. Day one is the hard one. Free, and the record is yours.
