Understand the psychology behind your trading decisions. Behavior Analysis tracks patterns like revenge trading, FOMO, and overtrading — then quantifies your discipline with a behavior score. Use these insights to build the habits that separate consistently profitable traders from the rest.
Behavior Analysis is a data-driven approach to understanding the emotional and psychological patterns that drive your trading decisions. Every trade is influenced by mental state — fear, greed, revenge, overconfidence — and these states leave measurable fingerprints in your trading data.
The behavior score (0-100) is a weighted composite of five dimensions: Plan Adherence (25%) — did you follow your entry/exit plan? Risk Consistency (20%) — is your position sizing stable? Emotional Neutrality (20%) — what emotional states do you journal? Recovery Behavior (20%) — how do you act after a loss? Trade Frequency (15%) — are you trading within your optimal cadence? Each dimension is scored independently and aggregated into your overall score.
90-100: Elite discipline — consistent rule-based trading. 75-89: Strong — minor deviations, well-managed. 50-74: Developing — noticeable patterns that need work. Below 50: High risk — significant behavioral issues impacting P&L. Benchmarks are calibrated against anonymized aggregate data from traders on the platform. Your score updates after every closed trade.
Detected when a larger-than-average position is opened within 3 trades of a significant loss, especially with matching instrument direction. The Copilot flags these and correlates them with lower average R-multiples.
Identified by entries near session highs, late breakouts with declining volume, or trades taken after a sharp move without pullback. These trades statistically show lower win rates and higher drawdowns.
Flagged when trade frequency exceeds your optimal range (learned from your historical best performance). Includes churning (multiple quick trades in the same direction) and trading during low-probability market conditions.
Behavior insights are only valuable if they lead to change. The platform provides structured paths to turn awareness into better trading habits.
The platform supports habit formation through: automated trade limits (pause trading after configurable loss limits or consecutive losses), mandatory journaling prompts before high-risk setups, a cool-down timer after detected revenge trading, and streak tracking for positive behaviors like 'trades with planned stop' and 'days without overtrading.'
The Behavior Dashboard is your central hub for all behavioral data. It displays your current score with a historical trend chart, top detected patterns with frequency counts, the largest behavioral impacts on your P&L over the selected period, and a daily breakdown of plan adherence. Each detected pattern links to the specific trades where it occurred so you can review and learn from each instance.
Behavioral change is a journey. The platform tracks your score weekly, monthly, and quarterly to show the trajectory of your discipline. View a multi-month chart with key events annotated (e.g., 'started journaling', 'implemented trade limits'). Compare your current 30-day average to your lifetime average to gauge real improvement. The Copilot provides trend summaries: "Your plan adherence has improved 15% since you started using the pre-trade checklist."
Set monthly behavior goals (e.g., "Score above 80 for 30 consecutive days", "Zero revenge trading detections this week", "Maintain 90%+ plan adherence"). The platform tracks progress and sends milestone notifications. Goals are integrated with the dashboard so you see your current target and distance to goal at all times.
For team and prop firm accounts, behavior analysis extends to the group level. Managers can view aggregate behavior trends across the team, identify traders who may need coaching (e.g., elevated revenge trading risk), and benchmark individual behavior scores against team averages. Individual behavioral data remains private — managers see patterns and trends, not individual trade logs.
