Trading checklist & journal

Are you trading –
or are you on tilt?

NoTilt is the 60-second checklist before every trade. It stops FOMO, revenge trades and moved stops before they cost you money. And the journal shows you which mistake costs you the most.

The problem

Your strategy is rarely the problem. The moment before the click is.

Poker players call it “tilt”: emotions take over and you stop playing your game. In trading, tilt looks like this:

FOMOThe coin runs without you

You chase it – right before it turns.

RevengeStraight back in after a loss

You want it back – with more risk and less plan.

HopeThe stop gets moved “just a bit”

A small loss turns into a big one.

FearProfits taken too early

You let losers run and cut your winners short.

“I didn't need another strategy. I needed something between me and the buy button.”
How NoTilt started

I trade crypto futures. Like a lot of people, I started with courses, videos and the routines of experienced traders. I even used AI to build my own backtesting tool to test my strategies.

That's when it clicked: knowledge wasn't the problem. I knew where the stop belongs. I knew you should take a break after a loss. But in the decisive moment, that wasn't always enough – because it's not your head deciding, it's your gut.

So I used AI to build an app that asks the right questions before every trade: How are you feeling right now? Is your setup really complete? Does the risk-reward work? If not, it tells you clearly: No trade.

One principle mattered most: every feature needs a reason from research. No flashy rewards for profits, no signals, no gimmicks. Only what's proven to help you stick to your plan.

Now: NoTiltFor everyone who wants to trade with more discipline

How it works

Under a minute. Before every trade.

Tap TRADE and NoTilt takes you through it step by step: breathe, mind, setup, plan, go. You're only in when everything checks out.

Home screen
0Daily check

Once a day: structure, news, bias. After that you only look in one direction.

Mind check: how are you feeling?
1Breathe & mind

9 seconds of breathing, then name honestly how you feel. FOMO or frustration? Then no trade today.

Setup checklist
2Setup

Your own rules as checkboxes. Different questions for every strategy – you define them yourself.

Stop: FOMO detected
3Plan & stop

Entry, stop, target. NoTilt calculates risk-reward, position size and liquidation – and stops you if it doesn't fit.

Why it works

Every feature has a reason from research.

No gut-feeling features. Here's what NoTilt is built on.

Checklist

Checklists prevent mistakes under pressure

When hospitals around the world introduced a short surgical checklist, mortality dropped from 1.5% to 0.8%. Pilots never fly without one for the same reason. Not because they don't know – but because under pressure you miss things.

Haynes et al., New England Journal of Medicine, 2009
Breathing

A sigh calms you faster than overthinking

Two breaths in, one long breath out: in a Stanford study, this “cyclic sighing” reduced anxiety and lifted mood – more than mindfulness meditation.

Balban et al., Cell Reports Medicine, 2023
Mind check

Naming a feeling calms it down

Putting an emotion into words measurably lowers activity in the amygdala – the brain's alarm center. That's why NoTilt asks: how are you feeling right now?

Lieberman et al., Psychological Science, 2007
Break after a loss

Risk-taking goes up after losses

When you're down, you want to “get back to even” – and take more risk to get there. That's why there's a break after every trade, and a longer one after a loss.

Thaler & Johnson, Management Science, 1990
In the trade

Holding losers, selling winners too early

One of the best-documented investor mistakes. Instead of acting right away, you tap the impulse in NoTilt – and get it reflected back to you.

Shefrin & Statman, Journal of Finance, 1985 · Odean, Journal of Finance, 1998
If-then plans

“If X, then Y” works in the decisive moment

Intentions phrased as if-then plans get carried out far more often than general goals. NoTilt uses them before every trade and for your weekly goal.

Gollwitzer & Sheeran, Advances in Experimental Social Psychology, 2006 (94 studies)
Journal

Tracking your progress helps you reach your goals

An analysis of 138 studies shows: regularly recording your own behavior increases goal attainment – especially when you write it down.

Harkin et al., Psychological Bulletin, 2016
Streak

Habits take time – and forgiveness

It takes around 66 days on average for a behavior to become automatic. Missing a single day barely hurts. That's why your streak has one joker per week.

Lally et al., European Journal of Social Psychology, 2010
To be honest

What NoTilt is not.

No signals

NoTilt never tells you what to buy. It only checks whether you're following your own rules.

Not a broker

No access to your exchange account, no API keys. You keep trading on your exchange.

No profit guarantee

Discipline is a requirement for long-term success – not a promise. Leveraged trading stays risky.

Questions

Good to know.

Do I need an account?

No. You can start right away without an account – your data then stays on this device only. With an account, your journal is the same on all your devices.

Where is my data stored?

Without an account, only on your device. With an account, on servers in Frankfurt, Germany (EU). You can export everything as CSV or a backup at any time and delete your account completely.

Can I add my own strategy?

Yes. Start with templates (e.g. Fair Value Gap, Trend Following, Support & Resistance) or describe your strategy from scratch. Every strategy gets its own questions.

Are there reminders?

Yes – if you want, a daily reminder for your daily check and one for your weekly review. On iPhone this works once NoTilt is on your home screen.

Does NoTilt work offline?

Yes. Changes are saved and synced as soon as you're back online.

Is this investment advice?

No. NoTilt is a tool for discipline and self-observation. It never recommends what or when to trade.

Sometimes the best trade
is the one you don't take.
