Trading Psychology Tracker, Log FOMO, Revenge, Discipline

Aurafy is a young, independent trading journal. It earns trust by keeping the local app usable without an account, making desktop data exportable, and being clear about which features are free and which require Pro.

How the tag system works

Four categories: setup (what you were trading), emotion (how you felt), mistake (what went wrong), and custom (anything else). Default tags include breakout, pullback, trend-follow for setups; FOMO, revenge, confident, frustrated for emotions; chased entry, moved stop, ignored plan, oversized for mistakes. You can add your own.

Tagging is faster than journaling

Writing a paragraph about each trade is a chore most traders quit within two weeks. Tagging takes three seconds per trade. Aurafy shows the most-used tags first based on your history, so by trade 50 you're tagging in one click. The friction cost is roughly zero, and the data you get out is actually queryable.

What the stats show

The psychology stats page groups trades by tag and shows per-tag metrics: win rate, average R, expectancy, total P&L. Many traders find their losing tags cluster around one or two emotions. Once a tag has enough sample size, a line like "FOMO trades average -0.4R" is harder to ignore than a journal note that says "be more disciplined." Tagging trades is free; the full mistake-tracking and per-tag breakdown analytics, across your all-time history, are part of Pro.

Tagging honestly

The entire value of a psychology tracker is ruined if you tag trades after you see the outcome. Winner trade with a chase entry? Still tag "chased entry." The only way the data works is if the tags reflect the state of mind at click time, not the post-hoc narrative. This is hard for the first month and gets easier.

Pair with screen recording

Tagging plus screen recording is the full loop. Tag the trade, then if the tag is interesting (first FOMO trade of the day, biggest loss tagged "revenge"), jump to that timestamp in the recording and watch yourself. The behavior becomes visible in a way a written note can't reach.
