The problem
Passes and hesitations teach as much as trades.
What the agent does
Records ideas you passed on and later checks whether passing followed your process.
Copy-paste prompt
Log this pass: [idea, why I passed, date]. In [2 weeks], ask me to review: did I pass for a rule-based reason or fear? Format as a journal entry with a review reminder date. Do not give buy/sell/hold advice or price targets; label facts vs. inferences and cite sources.
Works with
Grok, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any similar assistant.

Limitations
Hindsight bias when reviewing. AI can be wrong, so verify before relying on any output.

The Agentic Trader journal setup
Educational only. Not financial advice. The Agentic Trader teaches how to organize AI agents around your own research and review process. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security or asset. We do not endorse any broker, platform, or asset. AI output can be wrong, so verify everything and make your own decisions. Trading and investing involve risk of loss.
