MindGuard: Tradovate Trading Journal + AI Psychology Coach

About

MindGuard is a real-time trading psychology assistant designed specifically for Tradovate futures traders. It monitors your trading behavior and alerts you when emotional patterns — like revenge trading, FOMO, overconfidence, or loss aversion — are about to cost you money.

How It Works

MindGuard runs quietly in a Chrome side panel while you trade. It watches your trading activity on Tradovate and uses behavioral analysis to detect risky emotional states:

Pattern Detection — Identifies 14+ emotional trading patterns including revenge trading, averaging down, overtrading after losses, and FOMO entries.

Real-Time Alerts — Overlays non-intrusive alerts directly on your Tradovate screen with severity levels (info, warning, critical). Critical alerts require a 3-second hold to dismiss, giving you time to reconsider.

Bias Profile — Builds a personalized cognitive bias profile (8 dimensions) that evolves with every trade, helping you understand your psychological weak spots.

AI Trading Coach — An AI mentor inspired by Mark Douglas's trading psychology framework. It asks the right questions instead of giving answers, helping you develop self-awareness.

Mirror AI — Pre-trade emotional state detection. When you're about to place an order while tilted, frustrated, or euphoric, Mirror AI shows you what your behavioral signals reveal.

Behavioral Signals — Tracks micro-behaviors like click velocity, order hesitation time, rapid timeframe switching, and mouse jitter — all indicators of emotional arousal that precede impulsive trades.

Daily Sessions — Brief daily check-ins that help you build awareness of your psychological state before trading.

Anchor Images — Upload personal motivational photos that appear during critical alerts to ground you in your "why."

Trade Debrief — Post-trade reflection prompts that help you learn from each trade's emotional context, not just its P&L.

Risk Calculator — Built-in position sizing tool based on your account balance and risk parameters.
