How Points Work
Every score in Marco Ai is transparent. Here is exactly how we calculate your numbers.
Measures trading frequency control and post-trade emotional discipline.
- Trades per day: 1-2/day = 5 pts … 20+/day = 1 pt
- After a loss: stop & review = 10 pts … increase size = 0 pts
- After a win: follow plan = 10 pts … overconfident = 0 pts
Evaluates documentation, review habits, and pre-entry discipline.
- Written trading plan: Yes = 5 pts
- Journaling: every trade = 8 pts … never = 0 pts
- Weekly review: every week = 7 pts … never = 0 pts
- Entry checklist: always = 5 pts … never = 0 pts
Starts at 25 and subtracts penalties for destructive behavioral patterns.
- Overtrading / Revenge / Moving stops = -5 pts each
- Poor risk management / FOMO / Emotional trading = -4 to -5 pts each
- Minimum possible: 0 pts
Based on current profitability with bonuses for structured habits.
- Consistently profitable = 25 pts … significantly losing = 5 pts
- Bonus: +2 pts for written plan
- Bonus: +2 pts for regular journaling
- Bonus: +2 pts for weekly reviews

Reactive Trader0-39 ptsPre-Market: Commitment & Risk
You set a contract/trade limit, loss limit, stop time, and plan for each failure mode before the market opens. A Pre-Market Risk Score (0–100) is calculated from your urge, confidence, importance, first-loss plan, and whether you are trying to recover losses. Lower risk and strong commitments raise your Predicted Success Score for the day.
Post-Market: Failure Review & Accountability
You review the same five failure modes honestly: did you overtrade, oversize, revenge-trade, break your loss limit, or chase/FOMO? Each confirmed failure reduces your Post-Market Discipline Score by 20 points. This produces a Daily Grade (A–F) and a personalized Daily Report that highlights your strongest behavior, biggest risk, and the one thing to interrupt tomorrow.
Other Rule Violations
Beyond the core five, you can log additional violations (e.g., moved stop loss, traded outside hours, ignored checklist). These are tracked in your history, counted in compliance, and surfaced in your Major Weakness analytics.
- Days with zero rule violations (40%)
- Staying within your max trade limit (25%)
- Staying within your daily loss limit (15%)
- Following your trading plan (20%)
- Writing journal / reflection notes (30%)
- Running your checklist before trades (25%)
- Taking only approved setups (20%)
- Completing both daily check-ins (25%)
- Daily mood — calm/focused scores highest (30%)
- Lower stress levels (25%)
- Higher confidence levels (20%)
- Following your focus habit (25%)
- Average daily compliance score (45%)
- Current check-in streak, capped at 30 days (30%)
- Share of days that finished green (25%)
Higher means more danger. The score rises with high urge, ‘must’ importance, recovering from losses, overconfidence, and weak first-loss plans.
- LOW: 0–34 (green)
- MEDIUM: 35–59 (yellow)
- HIGH: 60–100 (red)
- Top risk mode is the failure most likely to surface today.
Inverse of risk, with bonus points for strong commitments.
- Base: 100 − Risk Score
- +8 if you agree to your loss limit
- +6 if you set a cooldown after first loss
- +6 if you commit to wait when ideal setups are absent
- +6 if you refuse to increase size after a loss
- +6 if you plan to wait or reframe a missed entry
You answer one focused question per failure mode.
- Overtrading: max trades, stop conditions, and waiting if setups are absent
- Oversizing: planned size, max size, and whether you increase size after a loss
- Revenge Trading: first-loss plan and cooldown length
- Daily Loss Limit: max loss and the action when you hit it
- FOMO: ideal entry, entering late, and what to do if you miss it
Starts at 100. Each confirmed failure-mode breach subtracts 20 points.
- Overtrading exceeded: −20
- Oversizing exceeded: −20
- Revenge trading: −20
- Broke daily loss limit: −20
- FOMO / chased: −20
Compares your actual trade count to your planned trade count.
- If you take fewer trades than planned, adherence stays at 100%.
- If you exceed the plan, adherence drops to (planned / actual) × 100.
Mapped directly from your discipline score.
- A: 90–100
- B: 80–89
- C: 70–79
- D: 60–69
- F: 0–59
Generated automatically after post-market review.
- Violations count (number of the five failure modes you confirmed)
- Strongest behavior: the highest-priority failure mode you did NOT break
- Biggest risk tomorrow: the highest-priority failure mode you DID break
- Improvement suggestion: pulled from your reflection or the biggest risk
