🧘 Observer Protocol

BEFORE TRADE

Am I trading my plan or reacting to price?
What is my trade reason? Can I write it?
Is this A/A+ setup or just FOMO?

AFTER LOSS

Wait 30 minutes before next trade.
Journal what happened. Don't rationalize.
Did I follow my rules? Grade the process, not P&L.

DANGER SIGNALS

FOMO → Step away immediately.
Revenge trade urge → Close the platform.
More than 2 trades today → You are done.

📊 Trade Cost Summary (Live)

🇮🇳 Indian Market Mode ULTRA

Trade Indian Stock Market (NSE)

Opens a completely separate journal for Indian markets — currency in ₹ (INR), NSE sessions in IST (Pre-Open / Morning / Afternoon), and Quantity instead of Lot Size. Your Forex journal stays 100% untouched and the two never mix. Toggling reloads the app into that journal.

🎨 Display & Performance

Optimize the visual experience for your device. Helpful if you experience flicker, lag, or battery drain on mobile.

⚡ Performance Mode

Disables backdrop blurs, glow animations, and heavy transitions across the app. Big improvement on older phones and laptops. Visual style still looks clean — just less flashy.

🚫 Reduce Motion

Stops page-fade-in and other entrance animations. Useful for motion sensitivity or to feel snappier when navigating between pages.

🎨 App Theme

Choose your color scheme. Applies instantly across the whole app — no reload needed.

💡 These preferences are stored locally on this device only — they don't sync across browsers/devices. Each device can have its own settings.

📚 How the Math Works

Static Daily DD

Floor = Day's Starting Balance × (1 − Daily DD%). Most firms (FTMO, FundedNext) lock this at midnight server-time. Equity dipping below the floor = breach.

Trailing Max DD

Floor = Highest Equity Ever × (1 − Max DD%). The floor rises with new highs but never falls. Once profits lock in, the trailing can effectively become static.

Why Color Bands?

Green <50% used · Yellow 50–80% · Red >80%. When you're in the red zone, every trade is one bad fill from a blown challenge. Step back.

♻️ Drawdown Recovery Calculator

The brutal math: why a 50% loss needs a 100% gain to recover

Risk Math

Loss vs Recovery — The Asymmetry

A 10% loss only needs 11.1% to recover. A 50% loss needs 100%. A 90% loss needs 900%. The deeper you fall, the exponentially harder the climb. Use this tool to understand exactly what your edge has to deliver — and how many trades it'll take.
