Mettle feature — Trade Review Scoring

Every trade becomes a score you can learn from

Reading old notes is slow; comparing scores is fast. Mettle turns each reviewed trade into structured execution scores, so a month of trading collapses into patterns you can actually act on.

The problem

Unstructured reviews don't accumulate

Free-text notes are honest in the moment but unsearchable in aggregate. Thirty trades of prose cannot answer "is my stop discipline getting better?" — you would have to reread everything and keep score in your head.

So most traders review for a week, feel no compounding payoff, and quit. The fix is structure: score the same dimensions the same way on every trade, and the patterns surface on their own.

How it works

  1. 1

    Review the session while it's fresh

    The session review walks you through each trade shortly after the close — chart with your entries and exits marked, plan alongside, tags ready.

  2. 2

    Score each trade the same way

    Entry timing, stop discipline, exit discipline, position sizing — scored per trade on a consistent scale, alongside emotion tags and notes for the story behind the numbers.

  3. 3

    Scores roll up automatically

    Trade scores feed session quality, your weekly graded review, and your BRI score, so the same five minutes of scoring powers every higher-level read.

  4. 4

    Patterns jump out

    When one dimension trends down — exits leaking while entries hold — you see it in the trend, name it as the one thing to fix, and check next week whether it moved.

Key benefits

A month of trades, readable in a minute

Scores compress weeks of trading into trends. The question shifts from "what happened?" to "what do I fix first?"

Consistent scale, comparable weeks

Because every trade is scored on the same dimensions, January and June are directly comparable — progress is measurable, not remembered.

The story stays attached

Scores never float free of context: each one sits on a trade page with the chart, the plan, your tags, and your notes.

FAQ

What does a trade score actually measure?

How well you executed your own plan — not whether the trade made money. A disciplined loser scores high; a lucky rule-break scores low. That separation is the whole point: it makes process visible so you can improve the part you control.

Are the execution scores objective or self-reported?

Self-reported, and that is deliberate. No software can see whether you hesitated, chased, or broke your own rule — only you can. Mettle structures that self-report so it is fast, honest, and comparable across weeks, then keeps the analysis grounded in what you actually recorded.

How long does scoring a session take?

A few minutes for a typical session. The review is structured precisely so it stays fast enough to do every trading day — a ritual you keep beats a deep-dive you abandon.

Is Mettle free to start?

Yes. You get full access free for 14 days with no card. We only ask for a card once you have reviewed three sessions — after the product has proven it earns a place in your routine.
