## What it does

trade-performance-coach compares recorded trade plans with actual entries, exits, stop changes, partial closes, and position risk. It checks process adherence, portfolio heat, rule violations, execution quality, and possible patterns such as FOMO entries, revenge trades, hesitation, or size creep. The report can also turn findings into operating rules for the next session and questions for reflection.

The package includes `skills/trade-performance-coach/scripts/review_trade_performance.py`, which works with local JSON or YAML-like records. It accepts a single trade or a monthly aggregate, tolerates partial records, and marks missing evidence as `unclear`. Numeric fields are validated before a report is created; invalid values make the CLI return exit code `2`. No paid API key is required for the script.

- spot recurring rule violations in journal records
- separate execution mistakes from market-environment issues
- create operating rules for the next trading session

## Example prompts
- Review the closed trade in `reports/trade_memory/closed_thesis_EXMPL.json` and write a post-trade coaching report.

- Review my monthly trade aggregate and flag behavior patterns that are supported by the recorded evidence.

# Trade Performance Coach

## Overview

Trade Performance Coach reviews recorded trade outcomes and journal evidence to
help a human trader improve their decision process. It converts closed-trade
records, postmortem findings, risk rules, and optional market-regime context into
an evidence-based coaching report covering:

- process adherence
- risk discipline
- execution quality
- possible trading-behavior patterns
- next-session operating rules
- coach questions for reflection

This skill is intended to fill the support role that a risk manager, desk lead,
or trading coach might provide in a professional trading environment. It is
strictly a process-review skill: it never recommends entering, exiting, buying,
selling, shorting, holding, or sizing a specific security.

## When to Use

Use this skill when any of the following are true:

- A trade has been closed and the user wants a post-trade coaching review.
- A partial close occurred and the user wants to inspect sizing, stop, or exit behavior.
- The user has `trader-memory-core` thesis records and `signal-postmortem` findings and wants next-session operating rules.
- The user wants a monthly review of recurring process, risk, execution, or behavior patterns.
- The user asks for a risk-manager style review of their own recorded trades.
- The user asks whether a loss was a process error, execution error, market environment issue, or acceptable variance.
- The user wants possible FOMO, revenge-trade, overconfidence, hesitation, stop-moving, or size-creep patterns flagged with evidence.

## When Not to Use

Do not use this skill to:

- Pick stocks or rank trade candidates.
- Approve or reject a live trade as financial advice.
- Place orders or draft broker instructions.
- Provide therapy, mental-health diagnosis, or personality assessment.
- Infer private psychological traits beyond the trade evidence supplied.
