Same journal, same trader. These moments cost the most money, and this is how Strebell helps you catch them.

The pain

Moving or ignoring your stop

26 of 27 lost

27 times the stop was moved or ignored. 26 of those trades ended in a loss: −⁠1.05R per trade, −⁠$1,421 in total.

The fix

Your stop is set in your trade plan before you enter. After the trade you mark whether you respected it, and Strebell shows what moving it cost you.

The pain

Staying in while it feels wrong

34 of 34 lost

In 34 trades the trader felt bad during the trade and stayed in. Not one of them was a winner: −⁠0.87R per trade, −⁠$1,471 in total.

The fix

You log how you feel while you're in the trade. Strebell shows which feelings cost you money, so you recognise that moment next time.

The pain

Deviating from the plan

−⁠$1,232

24 trades deviated from the plan: −⁠1.10R per trade and a win rate of only 8%. Together they cost −⁠$1,232.

The fix

Write your trade plan before the open. When you log a trade you see straight away whether it matches your plan.

Discipline was lost when a trade deviated from the plan, the stop was moved or ignored, or the trader stayed in while feeling bad during the trade, as logged in the moment. One trader's results; your numbers will be different.
