Demon tracker

The demon tracker in TradeTrack is a personal log of bad trading habits. A “demon” is not superstition — it is a short label for a pattern that keeps coming back: FOMO, revenge trading, ignoring your stop, overtrading, drifting from your plan, and similar issues.
When you open the section for the first time, the app may suggest several common demons. You can edit them, add your own, or create new ones from scratch. Each demon has a category: Emotional (fear, greed, anger), Cognitive (self-deception, “I know better”), or Behavioral (extra trades, moving stops). That helps you see not just “something went wrong,” but which layer of your psychology was involved.
Each day after the session (or in the evening), open the chosen day on the demon map and set how strong each active demon was: None, Mild, Strong, or Critical. One tap is enough — changes save right away. If a demon did not show up that day, leave it at None. You are recording facts, not writing essays.
Why this helps psychologically
Most losing stretches start from an internal state the trader later cannot recall clearly. The mind tends to generalize (“I am always nervous”) or excuse (“it was a one-off”). A short daily log turns vague feelings into data: which demon, which day, how strong. That reduces self-deception and gives you concrete language for self-review or coaching — names instead of “I traded badly.”
Labeling a pattern externally (“revenge,” “FOMO”) slightly separates the problem from identity: not “I am a bad trader,” but “demon X showed up today.” That makes change feel more actionable — adjust behavior instead of fighting your self-image.
What the overview shows
At the top you see three guides. Clean streak is how many days in a row you logged no demons; it rewards calm, controlled days, not only profitable ones. Weekly occurrences is how many times you logged anything in the last seven days; a sharp rise often means emotional or behavioral overload. The Today block shows how many demons you logged today and which one appeared most often in the selected period — your main “enemy” in numbers.
The demon map is a calendar over several months: color and intensity reflect how many demons you logged and the highest severity that day. Click a day to open the same daily list for edits. A clean day on the map is a day with no entries; it stands out from “hot” days.
The demons table summarizes each name: how often it appeared, average severity, and last occurrence. If a demon already has history, deleting it usually archives it so past data is not lost.
How to use it with trading
The demon tracker does not replace your trade journal or PnL — it is about your inner process. The best results come from a short habit: two or three honest minutes after the session, without self-judgment. Use it together with the discipline tracker (rules for what to do right) and demons (what pulled you off course). Together you can see whether rule breaks line up with specific demons.
Where to find it
Open Discipline tracker in the menu and switch to the Demons tab. Data is tied to your user account, not to a single trading account.
