revenge trading pattern breaker

The problem

Traders often abandon their strategy after a loss, leading to aggressive re-entries, increased position sizes, and emotional "tilting." This behavior destroys capital faster than market volatility by bypassing established risk management rules.

What it does

• Analyzes trade logs and journal entries to detect spikes in trade frequency or size escalation.
• Identifies emotional triggers and process violations like chasing price or widening stops.
• Generates mandatory cooldown schedules based on the severity of the detected pattern.
• Enforces a multi-step reset protocol to move the trader from an emotional to a neutral state.
• Calculates immediate risk-reduction measures, including temporary position size caps.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

This skill provides a systematic behavioral framework that doesn't rely on the trader's willpower during a crisis. It applies specific, graduated penalties and reset steps that a generic prompt might overlook when emotions are high.

Use cases

• Halting a losing streak by forcing a 24-hour full cooldown after three consecutive losses.
• Detecting revenge language in session notes and mandating a reset worksheet.
• Reducing risk exposure to 25% of normal size following a daily loss limit breach.
• Verifying trade setups against a strict pre-trade checklist to prevent impulsive entries.

Known limitations

Requires the user to provide honest data regarding their recent trades, emotional state, or journal entries to function effectively.
