Trading Journal & Coach
The newest genuinely-useful category of AI-for-trading is not predicting the market — it is analysing your own behaviour. The Trading Journal turns your history of runs and backtests into honest feedback so you can improve the strategy you already have.
Open AI → Trading Journal (/journal).
What it surfaces
From your instances (runs and backtests) it computes, deterministically:
- Win / loss / failure counts and win rate across your backtests;
- Behavioural insights — the leaks that quietly cost retail traders:
- Over-concentration — most of your activity is in one symbol;
- Repeated failures — a high share of runs failed to build or configure;
- Losing bias — more losing than winning backtests (with a nudge to run the Integrity Lab and check the edge is real);
- a clean bill of health when none of the above applies.

Why it is reliable
The behavioural analysis is pure, deterministic domain code (Core.Journal) with no infrastructure
dependency — unit-tested for over-concentration, repeated failures, losing bias, the balanced case and
the empty account. The facts come first; the AI coach (Portfolio Digest) is an optional narrative layer
on top, gated on the Anthropic API key, so the journal works fully without AI configured.
