After many years of trading, my deepest realization is one sentence: knowing what is right and truly being able to do it are separated by a hundred thousand miles.

I am a trader with a background in programming. At first, I was quite disciplined, but gradually I loosened up—every time I looked at the market, I wanted to trade, often opening positions based on intuition, and the results speak for themselves. After repeatedly falling into the same traps, I realized that my problem was not a lack of trading knowledge, but a lack of execution. Feelings and discipline are always at odds.

Since I am a programmer, I decided to create a tool to "manage" myself. This web tool includes several core features: first, AI-assisted supervision to help identify emotional trading; second, a complete system backtesting module to verify whether your ideas are truly feasible; third, integration with order data from some live traders as a reference and benchmark.

The goal is simple—through external constraints of the tool, force myself to develop the habit of executing according to a system. It is still in the testing phase, and the results are quite good so far.

I want to invite about 10 people with real trading experience to participate in the internal testing. The prerequisite is that you believe trading is fundamentally a probability game, and only by following a system can you achieve stable profits, but you have also been troubled by feelings and impulses. If you have such concerns or are interested in this kind of tool, you are welcome to test and provide feedback. The features will be continuously adjusted based on everyone's experience.

It's free to use. If you're just here to gamble, then forget it.

I understand this pain point too well, it feels like I've been at odds with the system for so many years. The advantage of programmers is that they can automate this kind of self-discipline. Want to give it a try?

I totally understand this pain point; the feeling of being torn apart by the system is really torturous. Knowing alone isn't enough; execution is the key. Saying it is easy, but actually doing it is deadly. The programmer's approach is pretty good; tools can indeed help reduce human interference, much stronger than relying solely on willpower. Backtesting data benchmarking is quite interesting; at least it allows you to see whether your method really works. I feel this internal testing idea is quite practical and not fooling anyone. I'm a bit interested in trying it out, but I want to see if others have given feedback. A small-scale test with ten people is actually easier to achieve results than a large-scale one. The worst are those who know the right direction but can't control their hands—really hard to save. This tool being able to identify emotional trading is worth it; most losses are actually due to this. If it can truly reconcile the war between intuition and discipline, then it’s really something.

Haha, isn't this just my daily routine? I know I need to strictly follow the system, but I forget everything as soon as I start watching the market. This tool's concept is quite interesting; external constraints can indeed save lives. The phrase "a hundred thousand miles away" really hit home, feeling like reason is always tearing apart. I've also been caught by emotional trading quite a few times, and I'm a bit interested in trying out your thing.

I've traveled ten thousand and eighty thousand miles, and I really feel that trading is the biggest killer. Alright, bro, I support this idea. Not many programmers who write tools to regulate their own trading. Backtesting + order data benchmarking is quite interesting, much better than armchair strategizing. To be honest, emotional supervision is the core; everything else is secondary.
