The daily psych check-in
Nine questions, two minutes, one honest picture of your trading behavior — question by question.
The check-in is the heart of Axel’s psychology system. Once a day, nine quick questions capture how you traded — and over weeks, those answers become measurable patterns crossed with your results.
Taking the test
Psychology → “Today’s test” (or the shortcut on the Dashboard’s plan-adherence widget). One question per screen, a progress bar on top, Back and Next to navigate. Answering an old day or editing today’s entry is possible — reopen the test and your previous answers are pre-filled.
The nine questions
| Question | Answers | What it feeds |
|---|---|---|
| Did you follow your trading plan today? | Yes · Partially · No · Not traded | The discipline score and the 30-day plan heat-dots. |
| Emotional level before trading | 1 (very calm) → 5 (very stressed) | The 30-day emotional curve. |
| Did you take a trade out of FOMO? | No · Yes · Not traded | Impulse-entry tracking. |
| How was the market today? | Trending · Ranging · Mixed | Context for your patterns (e.g. “you overtrade in ranges”). |
| Did you overtrade? | No · Yes · Not traded | Overtrading patterns, crossed with your trade count. |
| Did you cut trades too early? | Never · Sometimes · Often · Not traded | Fear-of-giving-back detection. |
| Did you let losses run? | Never · Sometimes · Often · Not traded | Stop-discipline tracking. |
| Confidence in your strategy | 1 (total doubt) → 5 (fully confident) | Confidence trend vs results. |
| Any observation to remember? | Free text (optional) | Your day note, kept in the history. |
