The Core Auditing Loop

Mastering the Process

MindTrajour is built around a specific workflow designed to turn emotional trading into a disciplined business. We call this the Core Auditing Loop.

Step 1: Precision Logging

Most journals fail because logging is a chore. In MindTrajour, the logging happens before or immediately after the trade.

• Why? Capturing your thesis while it's fresh prevents "hindsight bias" (convincing yourself you knew it would happen).

Step 2: The Behavioral Timeline

The most important data point in an options trade isn't the price—it's your reaction to volatility.

• Action: Open the Emotion Tracker during VIX spikes or when a trade hits your break-even point.
• Result: You build a high-resolution map of your psychological triggers.
• Tool: Emotion Tracker

Step 3: The Autopsy Audit

Closing the trade is just the beginning. The real work happens in the Autopsy.

• Action: Visit your Dashboard once a week to review closed positions.
• Analysis: Look for correlations between your "Impulsive" tags and your biggest losses.

The Goal: Radical Clarity

After 20 trades through this loop, you'll know things about your own process that most traders never find out — because most traders never track it.
