Your Trust Score

A metric built from YOUR data, not ours. It correlates your trading behavior with your results, helping you understand your patterns.

The Trust Score isn't about predicting the future. It's about understanding your past so you can make more informed decisions going forward.

Why This Matters

Your Data Only

No external ratings. No black box algorithms. Just your trades, your patterns.

Behavior + Results

Most tools only track P&L. We also track HOW you trade: emotions, timing, discipline.

Actionable Insights

See exactly what to improve. The score shows where you're strong and where to focus.

What the Trust Score Is NOT

Not a Prediction

A high Trust Score doesn't predict future success. Markets are unpredictable.

Not Investment Advice

This is an educational tool for self-reflection. It doesn't tell you what to buy or sell.

Not a Competition

Your score is private. The only comparison that matters is you vs. your past self.

Not a Guarantee

Past performance does not indicate future results.

Start Building Your Trust Score

Log your trades, track your emotions, and watch your patterns emerge. Your journal becomes your teacher.

Educational only — The Trust Score is a self-assessment tool for educational purposes. It does not constitute investment advice. Past performance does not indicate future results. Always do your own research and consider consulting a qualified financial advisor.
