The Psychology analytics module bridges the gap between trader mindset and mathematical Edge. It quantifies emotional discipline, cognitive bias, and behavioral drift, translating subjective market feelings into rigorous, actionable financial metrics.

1. Stress Assessment & Tilt Circuit Breaker

Monitors execution discipline by tracking the percentage of trades taken under adverse emotional states (such as FOMO, Revenge, Anxiety, or Fear):

Formula / Calculation
Stress Ratio (%) = (Trades Under Emotional Duress / Total Executed Trades) × 100

Risk Thresholds

• Discipline Zone (< 10% Stress): Deliberate, calm execution strictly adhering to your trading playbook.
• Elevated Risk Zone (10% → 20% Stress): Early symptoms of fatigue, minor impatience, or mild revenge sizing.
• The Tilt Circuit Breaker (> 20% Stress, Highlighted in Ruby Red): Statistical danger zone. Accounts exceeding 20% stress suffer severe loss clustering. Mandates an immediate trading halt.

2. Trades by Emotion (psychology_trades_emotion)

Catalogs baseline emotional frequency across core psychological profiles (Calm, Confident, Anxious, FOMO, Fearful, Revenge):

• Bar / Donut Toggle: Switch between horizontal count bars and proportional exposure donut slices.
• Baseline Awareness: Reveals whether emotional discipline is the default state or if impulsive trading constitutes an outsized share of total activity.

3. Profit & Loss by Emotion (psychology_profit_emotion)

Directly attributes realized net monetary return to your psychological state at trade entry:

Formula / Calculation
Emotional Cost = Net PnL (Calm & Disciplined) - Net PnL (Emotional & Tilted)

• Quantifying Tilt: In nearly all trading profiles, Calm trades produce steady positive expectancy, while a small handful of FOMO or Revenge trades create outsized losses that erase weeks of profits.

4. Win Rate by Emotion (psychology_win_rate_emotion)

Maps execution accuracy directly against mental state:

Formula / Calculation
Win Rate (Emotion) = (Winning Trades (Emotion) / Total Trades (Emotion)) × 100

• Accuracy Degradation: Illustrates how emotional distress impairs setup selection and invalidation timing, causing win rates to plummet during tilted executions.

5. Qualitative Cognitive Diagnostics (Word Cloud) (psychology_word_cloud)

An NLP visualizer that parses notes, reflections, and tags from your trade journal:

• Typographic Weight: Words occurring frequently across your log are rendered in larger, prominent fonts.
• Constructive Keywords: "Confluence", "Patience", "Target Reached", "RRR", "Clean Structure".
• Destructive Keywords: "Hesitated", "Chased", "Oversized", "Revenge", "Late Entry", "Frustrated".
