Pseudo Trader

Free trading journal for Indian traders. Works with Zerodha/Kite + Dhan workflows. Kite CLI/Dhan CLI for terminal-first traders.

I built a free trading journal for Indian retail traders.

No ads. No subscriptions. No tracking. Invite-only.

It's called Jorli — and here's why it exists 🧵

Track the pattern across 7 trading days: https://t.co/OeIDUbC668

A trading journal becomes useful when the fields connect:

1. Record the day
2. Add one behavioural observation
3. Attach the evidence
4. Review the pattern after 7 trading days

The point isn't more data. It's a clearer record.

Start the 7-Day Honest Trading Review: https://t.co/yqBNL0vO18

[Pseudo Trader @pseudotrader_]

Before calling the day good or bad, write:
• Plan
• Actual
• First point of divergence
• Next observation

Only then open the P&L.

A review should explain the number, not replace it.

Don't let the result write your whole review.

Log 4 lines:
• Context
• Decision + why
• Execution vs plan
• Next observation

Useful distinction: a flat equity curve can come from market context, execution drift, or a changed edge—and a journal can keep those separate. For each trade, log setup quality, plan adherence, context, and whether you would take it again before looking at the result. Review the group, not one trade. That turns “am I broken?” into a testable question.

[Pseudo Trader @pseudotrader_]

New in Jorli: sync completed trades from Zerodha or Dhan directly into your trading journal.

Use Sync Now or weekday auto-sync when your broker session is active. Open positions are skipped.

Jorli never places, modifies, or cancels orders.

P&L can't show your state before entry.

Log mood, confidence, stress, focus and sleep. Review them beside each decision for 7 days.

Notice context, don't label yourself.

Useful review because it separates setup quality from execution quality. One extra line may make the pattern easier to spot: “At what point did anxiety change my original plan?” Keep the answer observable (partial close, moved stop, changed target), not a character label. That gives you something to compare across sessions.

Loss review ≠ “bad day”.

Log four things:
• feeling
• first unplanned action
• what changed next
• one factual lesson

Friday review question: what did you know before the trade that you ignored after it?

Log two separate lines:
• Plan — the condition you wrote down
• Drift — the first moment the trade stopped matching it

That gap is more useful than calling the day “good” or “bad”.

Keep the note factual. Review it across 7 trading days: https://t.co/XhD8NhGnd8

[Pseudo Trader @pseudotrader_]

Win rate is a clue, not a verdict.

In a weekly review, pair it with:
• average win
• average loss
• number of trades
• max drawdown
• what your journal says about context

One number can flatter. A set of numbers can teach.

Use the 7-Day Honest Trading Review: https://t.co/QMbNMK3K5N

[Pseudo Trader @pseudotrader_]

End-of-day review > end-of-day verdict.

Write 4 lines:
• Planned
• Actual
• Where execution differed
• What to observe tomorrow

P&L is one line, not the whole review.

[Pseudo Trader @pseudotrader_]

One journaling trap: writing conclusions instead of observations.

Instead of “I was undisciplined”, write:
• Observation: entered after the trigger
• Context: felt I was missing the move
• Interpretation: urgency drove the entry

Facts first. Labels later.

Try it on your next trading day.

[Pseudo Trader @pseudotrader_]

Before you call it a discipline problem, check the trigger.

A useful review note has 3 lines:
1. Trigger — what changed? (loss, boredom, missed move)
2. Urge — what did I want to do?
3. Choice — what did I actually do?

After 7 trading days, patterns beat self-judgement.

Which trigger shows up most often in your journal?

[Pseudo Trader @pseudotrader_]

End-of-day review works better when it has a place to land:

1. Open the trading day
2. Attach the chart
3. Note mood, stress, focus
4. Write one behaviour to revisit after 7 trading days

Outcome is the receipt. Context is the review.

@FundedHeroX One useful addition: record the first unplanned action after a loss—not just whether the trade won. “Added size / chased entry / moved exit / stopped” gives the week-end review something concrete to compare with the original plan.

[Pseudo Trader @pseudotrader_]

Tag the decision, not just the result.

After each trade, mark it:
• planned
• adjusted
• impulsive

At week-end, compare the tags with your P&L. The useful question is not “Which trades won?” but “Which decision type keeps costing me attention?”

Try it for 7 trading days.

[Pseudo Trader @pseudotrader_]

Friday review:

Don’t ask only, “Did I make money?”
Ask:
• Which trades were planned?
• Which were added later?
• Which exit changed to avoid discomfort?
• What pattern should I catch sooner?

A green day can still hide a process problem.

Your journal needs one field most P&L sheets skip:

“What would have invalidated this trade?”

Write it before entry if possible. After exit, mark:
• invalidated, but held
• never invalidated, exited early
• thesis changed, documented why
• unclear in hindsight

This turns “I lost” into a reviewable decision.

Compare the notes after 7 trading days.

[Pseudo Trader @pseudotrader_]

Market closed? Try a 5-minute review:
• trade + chart
• mood, stress, focus
• one repeated behaviour

Revisit after 7 trading days. P&L shows outcome; your journal keeps context.
