Detect your biases before they hit your P&L.

HeuristX analyzes your trading history and monitors behavior in real time to surface costly cognitive and emotional biases—then intervenes before execution.

How HeuristX meets the challenge

The judging brief requires trading history input, detection of 3 biases, and clear feedback with visuals and personalized recommendations—plus speed and scalability. This page mirrors that flow.

1) Input

Trading History Input

CSV/Excel upload or sample trades UI (demo page).

2) Detect

3 required biases

Classifier flags Overtrading, Loss Aversion, Revenge Trading.

3) Visualize

Graphical insights

Timelines, heatmaps, and “Equity vs Emotion” style insights.

4) Coach

Personalized feedback

Tailored suggestions + circuit breaker interventions.

Bias Engine

Each bias is detected using clear signals from trading behavior (frequency, sizing, streak response, and exits).

Overtrading

risk 72/100

You're clustering trades and increasing frequency after volatility spikes.

Signals

High trade count relative to balance
Time-based clustering (too many trades within an hour)
Trading after large wins/losses
Frequent switching of positions

Personalized coaching

Set a daily trade cap (ex: 5 trades/day) and require a short review to unlock more.
Add a “cooldown” timer after a loss (ex: 5-10 minutes).
Pre-commit to entry criteria (checklist) before placing a trade.

Loss Aversion

risk 58/100

You hold losers longer than winners and your risk/reward is skewing negative.

Signals

Losing trades run too long
Winning trades closed too early
Unbalanced risk/reward ratios
Average loss size > average win size

Personalized coaching

Define stop-loss before entry and don't move it wider.
Use a take-profit rule (or trailing) to let winners run.
Review “Hope Trap” moments: what signal made you ignore the exit?

Revenge Trading

risk 81/100

Trade size jumps after a loss streak—classic “win it back” impulse.

Signals

Larger trades immediately after a loss
Increased risk-taking after negative P/L streaks

Personalized coaching

Hard circuit breaker: lock trading for 5-10 minutes after a flagged streak.
Reduce size to 0.5X baseline after losses for the next 3 trades.
Quick check-in: name the emotion before confirming the trade.

Visual insights

The challenge asks for charts/timelines/heatmaps. Our prototype shows what the report will surface after analyzing trades.

Trade Clustering Heatmap

Highlights overtrading windows (too many trades within a short time period).

Example visualization

Equity vs Emotion

Compares actual balance vs a disciplined baseline excluding flagged bias trades.

Makes the Human Tax visible

Bias Breakdown + Discipline Score

A 1–100 Discipline Score (61) and which bias dominated today.

Clear end-of-session summary

Affective labeling (optional): “How do you feel right now?” helps interrupt impulsive actions.

Personalization

We build a “behavioral fingerprint” from your history (when you trade, what you trade, how you size after outcomes), so recommendations adapt to you—not generic tips.

• Different triggers by time-of-day and volatility
• Different biases by asset class
• Dynamic coaching rules based on streak patterns

Real-time extension (Bias Engine)

HeuristX lives on the trading platform and intervenes before the next trade is confirmed: Observer → Classifier → Cost Engine → Intervention UI.

• Observer: watches buy/sell actions and key inputs
• Classifier: flags deviations (e.g., size spike after a loss)
• Cost Engine: estimates “Bias Cost” / “Human Tax”
• Intervention: overlay + cooling-off circuit breaker
