In our study of thousands of trading sessions, we've identified four persistent behavioral archetypes. Most traders spend their entire careers oscillating between these patterns. Where do you fall?

The Perfectionist

Hates being wrong. Often suffers from Analysis Paralysis. They miss 80% of their trades because the setup wasn't 'perfect,' leading to FOMO entries on the next low-probability candle.

The Over-Sizer

Confuses conviction with reckless exposure. They have a brilliant strategy but ruin their Sharpe Ratio by Emotional Scaling during winning streaks.

The Hesitator

Enters too late and stays too long. They lack the Decisive Edge to pull the trigger when the setup is hot, often chasing the move once the risk/reward is skewed.

The Revenge Seeker

Driven by the Recapture Loop. Their only goal is to reclaim the loss from the previous trade. Their execution is purely reactive, and their stops are nonexistent.
