Fight
+5 to +7
Doubles size after a loss to win it back, trading the grudge instead of the setup.
Your angry mind is telling you: “I'll show it who's boss.”
Intake 01 · Chief complaint
You already know the problem.
You take the trade that breaks the rules. Not because you forgot them, but because a pattern you've never named fires faster than the part of you that knows better.
You revenge-trade after a loss. Your nervous system is doing what nervous systems do. Discipline coaching doesn't reach that loop.
Your journal is a graveyard. It records what happened. It never records the state you were in, what fired, or what your body was doing 90 seconds before the click.
Intake 02 · History
A day through the instrument.
- 06:40Pre-Market scan runs hot: short sleep, market gapping against yesterday's bias. The morning read says size down today.
- 09:45State check: +4, “Frustrated, or FOMO.” Two minutes after a missed entry. The scale knew before the next order did.
- 09:47The chase never gets clicked. The app is already asking the one question that matters at +4.
- 11:20A stop gets moved anyway. Logged, named, tied to the pattern it came from. No lecture.
- 16:10Debrief: the day's readings laid over the day's trades. The pattern has a name now.
Naming it is the start. Mapping it is the assessment.
Intake 03 · The examination
A clinical instrument for traders
Where are you right now?
This is Steadied's state check, live. Nothing you tap is saved.
Tap the one that recognizes you. Honesty beats accuracy. Nothing is saved.
That was one reading. The app takes them all day, and learns your pattern.

Intake 04 · The cast
Which one is trading?
Every trader has a cast. The same few states take the desk over and over, each with its own voice and its own tell. Steadied learns your cast by name, and meets each state with its own reset.
Judge
+3 to +5
Pushes past the plan's stopping point, because today's number is never enough.
Your demanding mind is telling you: “not enough, you should have made more, everyone else is up bigger, push.”
Control
+3 to +5
Micromanages a working trade until the interference becomes the loss.
Your controlling mind is telling you: “If I don't micromanage this, I'll lose it.”
Fear
+4 to +6, and −3 to −5
Cuts winners early and skips valid setups, whether it runs hot or goes flat.
Your fearful mind is telling you: “If I lose this trade, I'll lose everything.”
Wise
−2 to +2
Trades the plan with the feeling still present, and notices drift early.
This is the part of you that says: “I can't control the market, only my execution.”
Critic
−4 to −6
Replays the last mistake so loudly that the next valid setup goes untaken.
Your critical mind is telling you: “You blew it again.”
Freeze
−3 to −7
Stops caring, and watches setups pass without taking one.
Your detached mind is telling you: “Maybe I should just watch others trade.”
If you are reading these from a heavy place: call or text 988, or text HOME to 741741.
The assessment maps the patterns these states grow from.
Intake 05 · Testing
Nobody asks who you are before telling you how to trade.
At the center of Steadied is a real personality assessment, the kind researchers and clinicians use to map the patterns that drive behavior. Full-length, validated, scored the way those instruments are scored. Not a quiz.
No personality types. No score dump. You get a Pattern Map: the specific patterns showing up in your trading, named in plain language, each tied to the behavior it costs you.
Your answers shape the instrument we build around you.
Steadied doesn't coach you. It measures you, while you trade.
Intake 06 · The builder
Built by a clinician who trades.
The clinical model underneath came from years of watching traders who knew exactly what to do, and still couldn't do it once the money was live.
- A psychotherapist with over 20 years in practice and nearly 10 years of active trading authored the clinical brain and every intervention in it.
- Claude, the AI collaborator translates that clinical reasoning into the engine, shipping improvements week over week.
Built by someone who actually trades. Now at v1.51.0, shipped August 14, 2026. See what shipped →
What we won't promise
No promises we can't measure.
We won't promise calm.
We measure whether you're tradeable with what you're feeling.
We won't promise profits.
We track the behavior that costs you money, and hand it back with a name.
We won't promise a new you.
We map the patterns you already run, so you see them before they click the mouse.
Intake 07 · The plan

How we handle your data
Your reflections are stored on our servers. We don't read them, but our team has standard access through database tools. Encryption-at-rest is on the roadmap.
The crisis-detection system runs on what you type and may pause your account if it sees self-harm or harm-to-others statements; that event becomes a clinician-of-record entry.
AI features (Orient drafts, etc.) send your text to Anthropic for processing. Anthropic doesn't train on API data.
Your data is yours. “Delete my data” in Settings wipes every per-user record. Full notice in Settings →
