The Problem

Prop traders with solid strategies still blow funded accounts. The cause is emotional: FOMO, revenge trades, and tilt. Charting tools don't fix that.

What Shipped

Villain battle system: 8 habit types (FOMO, Revenge, Tilt, Overleverage + more), personalized taunts, HP tracking, boss battle on tilt/loss limit, victory screen with confetti and fanfare
Trade logging with A/B/C/F grading, net P&L loss meter, ATR-based risk calculator (green/red light), pre-trade 3-question gate, rotating trading rules banner
Pre-session checklist (editable in-app), session notes with auto-save, weekly summary, win streak tracker, blackout countdown for economic events
Landing page with Google Form beta funnel, Google Analytics events (session start, onboarding, trade logged, villain defeated), sitemap + robots.txt

How it works

[SETUP] Pick worst habit → become your villain (HP + taunts)
[SESSION] Pre-session checklist · rotating rules · blackout timer on news
[TRADE] Pre-trade gate → log trade (A/B/C/F) → loss meter + risk calculator
[BATTLE] Violations / tilt → villain gains HP · discipline → damage villain
[STATUS] LIVE_BETA · mindvsprofits.com · Supabase + Stripe next

Technical Friction

Making discipline feel like a game without slowing traders down during live sessions, using only browser storage and no backend.

Outcome

Live at mindvsprofits.com (v3.0). Beta recruitment in progress (Discord, LinkedIn, Facebook Groups, Meta Ads). Supabase accounts + Stripe Premium ($19.99/mo) pending beta validation. Broker integrations (TradeStation, NinjaTrader) are on the roadmap.
