What else lives in Journal

Reflection, deepened.

9-category fee breakdown

Commission, Borrow, Extra borrow, ECN, SEC, FINRA, CAT, OCC, Overnight, all itemized per trade. Pattern-level borrow attribution exposes the locate fees on shares you reserved but never traded.

Most journals lump fees. Cortex names the leak.

Pattern Vitals Radar

5-axis radar (Win Rate, Profit Factor, Payoff Ratio, Consistency via σ, Recovery Factor) normalized 0–100. Pattern-level health at a glance.

Rolling Edge Charts

Real-time degradation detection. Rolling N-trade win rate, profit factor, and expectancy. Spot pattern decay before end-of-month statements show it.

Daily P&L Calendar

4 time lenses: daily, weekly, monthly, year-to-date. GitHub-style heatmap with a pulsing gold ring on today. Drill into seasonality to see which months you underperform.

Gain Distribution Histogram

Trade-return frequency with overlaid KPIs (best/worst trades with date+symbol, gross profit %, top 3 winners/losers). Reveals payoff-ratio skew.

Win/Loss Streak Timeline

Visual streak blocks (green/red) with length labels. Current streak, longest win streak, longest loss streak, last-10 window, direction-split (long vs short).

Multi-pattern allocation

One trade. Multiple concurrent patterns. Each pattern tracks its own P&L, win rate, and fee leakage. Exit sequence tracker captures which pattern exited when.

System trader's best friend.

Missed System Entries

Log system trades you identified but didn't take, with reason. Compared side-by-side with taken trades; your discipline tracker, not just your scoreboard.

No competitor does this.

Strategy Statistics

Per-pattern: profit factor, payoff ratio, expectancy, consistency (σ-based), recovery factor. Pattern leaderboard ranks all patterns by win rate.
