Trader Profile

Eight traits that describe how you tend to sabotage your own trading, and one that protects you. Take the free 24-question Trading Psychology Assessment (no email, no signup), or the short diagnosis on Day One in the app. Your strongest risk trait becomes your leak.

The 8 Traits

Seven risk patterns — Loss Aversion, Revenge Impulse, Overconfidence, FOMO/Attachment, External Locus of Control, Financial Pressure, and Ego Fusion — plus one protective factor, Rule Consistency. Each is measured with indirect statements, not direct questions, so the result reflects real tendencies rather than how you'd like to see yourself.

Your Leak, and What Day One Does With It

Each risk trait has a name that says how it shows up at the screen: The Stop Mover, The Get-It-Back Trader, The Hot Hand, The Chaser, The Unlucky One, The Rent Trader, The Scorekeeper. Your strongest one is your leak.

Day One builds a protocol for it: how it shows up, why it happens, three rules, the early warning signs, a starting Golden Rule, and one line to say to yourself when the pull hits. That line sits on your Firewall every morning. The profile itself never feeds your Discipline Score; only what you actually log does.

Part 2: Ready to Change It?

After your result, the assessment offers an optional second part: ten statements on whether you're set up to change your pattern — how you relate to losing, whether you notice it in your body before you act, how you treat yourself after a bad day, whether you're trading to prove something. It ends with one concrete thing to try this week.
