I agree with my friend @steenbab. This looks very promising. Developing traders could benefit from more structure and focusing more on process than outcomes. I like the AI overlay to really help hone in on one's process.

Watch how Process > Outcome works — full walkthrough in under 6 minutes.

Traders don’t fail because of bad ideas — they fail from lack of structure.

A strategy might tell you when to enter. But it’s your system that brings clarity — before, during, and after every trade. A system is not a set of fixed rules — it’s a repeatable process that helps you prepare, execute, adapt, and improve.

System ≠ Strategy

  • A strategy is a component — an entry pattern or idea.
  • A system is the full process: planning, journaling, execution rules, review routines, and mental preparation.
  • Your system is what builds consistency — regardless of which strategy you trade.

Concept inspired by Brian McAboy, the "Consistency Coach" at InsideOutTrading.com

“An average or even mediocre strategy executed consistently, will outperform and make more money than a GREAT strategy executed inconsistently.”

— Brian McAboy, InsideOutTrading.com
