Psychology

Your behaviour leaves a statistical footprint.

Emotion shapes decisions, decisions shape execution, and execution shapes the result. TradeDrift connects the four, so the habits costing you money show up as numbers.

What you get

  • Emotion and mistake tags

    Capture how you felt and what went wrong on each trade, with tags you define yourself.

  • Six patterns, detected for you

    Overtrading, revenge entries, size escalation, losers held longer, unplanned trades and off-hours entries.

  • Your baseline, not a rulebook

    Each pattern is judged against your own history — never a universal threshold that fits nobody.

  • What it cost

    Each finding shows how often it happened and the trades behind it, so you can see the evidence.

Emotion → decision → execution → result

A losing trade rarely starts at the chart. Tagging the emotion and the mistake as you journal lets TradeDrift line them up against how you sized, when you entered and how long you held.

Patterns you would not catch by eye

Re-entering minutes after a loss, doubling size to win it back, trading far more than your usual count, holding losers longer than winners — each is measured against what is normal for you.

  • Overtrading — days well above your usual number of entries
  • Revenge entry — a new trade shortly after a loss
  • Size escalation — larger positions after losses
  • Losers held longer — losing trades held longer than winners
  • Unplanned trades — no stop or planned risk recorded
  • Off-baseline hours — entries outside your usual trading hours
