Key Concepts

Introduction​

TradeLyser is built on four pillars that transform your trading from random to systematic: Journals, Strategies, Rules, and Insights. Together, they help you record, refine, and evolve as a trader.

1. Journals – Your Trading Diary​

Purpose: Capture every trade with context. Not just numbers — record your thoughts, emotions, and lessons.

What You Track:

  • Entry/exit, P&L, tags, screenshots
  • Why you took the trade and what you learned
  • Daily, weekly, and monthly reflections

Why It Matters:

Journaling exposes patterns, reinforces discipline, and prevents repeating mistakes. Ten minutes a day can change how you trade forever.

2. Strategies – Your Playbook​

Purpose: Define what works and when. Each strategy documents your entries, exits, risk, and conditions.

Why Track Strategies:

  • See which setups perform best
  • Compare performance across timeframes and markets
  • Optimize based on real results

Example Flow: Document → Tag → Measure → Refine → Repeat.

3. Rules – Your Discipline System​

Purpose: Stay consistent under pressure. Rules turn emotions into structure.

Types of Rules:

  • Automated: System-checked (risk limits, trade times, etc.)
  • Manual: Self-checked (psychology, process, learning habits)

Why It Matters:

Rule adherence drives consistent results. Even a 10% improvement in discipline can raise profitability by 5–8%.

4. Insights – AI-Driven Intelligence​

Purpose: Learn what the data is telling you. Elysia AI uncovers hidden patterns, behaviors, and opportunities.

What You Get:

  • Performance trends ("Most profitable on Thursdays")
  • Behavioral cues ("Win rate drops after 2 PM")
