How Points Work

Every score in Marco Ai is transparent. Here is exactly how we calculate your numbers.

Onboarding Assessment Score
Your initial score is calculated from 16 questions across 4 pillars, each worth up to 25 points for a total of 100.
Discipline (25 pts)

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
Process (25 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
Psychology (25 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
Consistency (25 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

How Your Classification Evolves
Your onboarding score is just the starting point. As you log daily check-ins, your classification updates to reflect how you're actually trading.

Baseline → Live performance

Each pillar (Discipline, Process, Psychology, Consistency) blends your onboarding baseline with your live performance over the last 30 days of completed check-ins. The more you check in, the more your real behavior takes over — reaching full weight at around 14 check-ins. Before then, the dashboard shows what percentage is live vs. baseline.

Discipline (live)
  • 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%)
Process (live)
  • Writing journal notes (30%)
  • Running your checklist before trades (25%)
  • Taking only approved setups (20%)
  • Completing both daily check-ins (25%)
Psychology (live)
  • Daily mood — calm/focused scores highest (30%)
  • Lower stress levels (25%)
  • Higher confidence levels (20%)
  • Following your focus habit (25%)
Consistency (live)
  • Average daily compliance score (45%)
  • Current check-in streak, capped at 30 days (30%)
  • Share of days that finished green (25%)
Your blended total still maps to the same five tiers shown above — so you can climb from At Risk to Developing Trader (or slip back) based purely on your accountability data.

Dashboard rings use these thresholds to show your status at a glance.

80-100 = Excellent 60-79 = Caution 0-59 = Critical
Streaks & Trends
How your consecutive discipline and recent averages are computed.

Daily Check-In Streak

Consecutive days with a completed post-market check-in. Starts from today (or yesterday if today is not yet done) and counts backwards until a gap is found.

Days Since Last Violation

Number of days since your most recent check-in that logged one or more rule violations. Helps visualize discipline recovery.

7-Day Compliance

Average compliance score across all completed post-market check-ins within the last 7 calendar days.

30-Day Compliance

Same calculation as 7-day but across the last 30 calendar days for trend visibility.
