Replay: spot the emotional trade

AI labels emotional decisions in your replays.

15 min · Beginner

What you'll learn

  • Label trades as FOMO, revenge, fear exit, hope hold or plan trade from their evidence
  • Measure the R cost of each emotional decision
  • Use Trade Replay & AI Coach to find your most frequent emotional pattern

Key takeaways

  • Emotional trades leave evidence: distance from level, timing after a loss, exits with no reason and moved stops.
  • A losing trade can still be a plan trade; judge the process, not the result.
  • Always attach an R cost to each emotional label so the habit has a visible price.
  • Review every session, winners included, and track your most frequent label.

Glossary

  • Hope hold — Keeping a losing trade open past its invalidation, often by moving the stop further away.
  • Plan trade — A trade whose entry and exit both match written rules, regardless of whether it won or lost.
  • Replay review — Walking back through a session's trades candle by candle to compare actions with the plan.
