Coach · Nic
Nic's read, with three findings A coaching panel headed "Nic's read", covering the last ninety days. A short written summary says the pattern costing this trader most is holding trades under two minutes, which averaged minus two hundred and eighty-four dollars each against plus ninety-six on everything else. Beneath it, three findings each carry a dollar cost: trades held under two minutes at minus two thousand four hundred and ten, marked new; money lost in the nine to ten o'clock hour at minus one thousand one hundred and eighty, marked as getting worse; and stops widened on losing trades at minus eight hundred and sixty.

It found this without being asked. You never set a rule for it to check.

One finding, from ninety days

You break your own long only above VWAP rule when you're down. It cost −$3,847.50 across 11 trades.

Followed the rule · 143 trades+$1,206.25
Broke it · 11 trades−$3,847.50

Seven percent of the trades, and the only reason the account is down. Compliant trading averages +$8.44 a trade. The breaks average −$349.77.

Nothing here is a threshold we picked. It's the rule you wrote, checked against every trade you took.

Example account. Every figure a whole number of ticks at that contract's real tick value.

It measures the part you cannot see while you are in it

Your platform shows you the market. A journal shows you the damage afterwards. Neither one tells you whether you followed your own plan, or that the trade you are about to take is the one that ends the account.

  1. Before the click

    It warns you while you can still act on it

    Drawdown room, daily loss and profit-target maths sit live beside your charts, tiered at 75% and 90%. The rules fire when a position opens, not when it closes — which is the difference between a warning and a post-mortem.

  2. Across your history

    It tells you which habit is costing you the most, in dollars

    Ten detectors read your whole history against your own baseline — revenge trading, size drift, entry chasing, cutting winners short, exposure before news, drift by time of day. You never have to know what to look for. That is the point.

  3. After every trade

    Six checks against the plan you wrote

    Describe how you trade in plain English and it comes back as structured rules: bias, setup, entry, stop, target, context. Every trade is then graded on all six, each with the specific reason it passed or failed. Not a threshold we picked — the plan you wrote.

  4. The moment you flatten

    What you left on the table

    Where price went at five horizons after your entry and after your exit, plus how far the trade ran your way and against you. This is how you find out you were up twelve ticks and took four.

  5. At the entry

    Early, optimal, or late

    Your entry graded against your own strategy's trigger, so patience becomes something you can measure instead of something you are told to have.

  6. At the fill

    What getting in actually cost you

    How far your fill sat from the quote at that instant, where in the spread you were filled, and whether you crossed it or waited to be hit.

Before the click

The mistake takes ten seconds. So does the warning.

A narrow panel sits beside your charts with the numbers that decide the day — how much drawdown room is left, how close you are to target, what the last fill actually did. Rules fire when a position opens, not when it closes, so the warning arrives while you can still act on it.

It runs alongside whatever you already trade. It is an instrument, not another platform.

The NexTick360 HUD during a live session A tall, narrow panel that docks to the right edge of the screen. A header carries the NexTick360 logo. Below it, a Today section shows four cards: net profit and loss of plus one thousand two hundred and forty dollars across eight trades, a session grade of B plus, an average entry mark-out of plus three point two ticks, and an average one-minute mark-out of minus one point four ticks. An account row names a Take Profit Trader one hundred and fifty thousand dollar evaluation. An Eval section shows a trailing drawdown buffer of plus five thousand seven hundred and forty dollars with eighteen per cent used, and a profit target bar at fourteen per cent. A Coach section shows a warning fired two minutes ago, headed "Size increase after a loss", explaining that the last two entries went twelve lots after a red trade and that the pattern averages minus three hundred and ten dollars. Recent trades list an open position marked live, and two closed trades graded B minus and A minus. A footer shows connections to Rithmic and market data.

Tall and narrow on purpose — it lives beside your charts, not over them.

The daily loop

A circle, not a funnel

See the whole loop
  1. 01

    Before the open

    The morning brief

    Overnight action, today's levels, what's on the calendar, where your evaluation stands.

  2. 02

    At the open

    You write the plan

    Bias, the setups you're hunting, your own levels, and the most you'll lose today.

  3. 03

    The session

    The HUD, beside your charts

    Distance to the floor, coaching as fills land, a warning before a rule breaks.

  4. 04

    After the close

    The debrief

    What you traded, which of your own rules you broke, and what it cost.

  5. 05

    Overnight

    It re-reads everything

    The engine goes back over your whole history and updates what it knows about you.

What it is, and what it is not

If you are shopping for signals or a strategy to copy, this is the wrong product and we would rather say so here than take your card.

What it is not

  • A charting platform
  • A signal service
  • A broker or order-entry tool
  • An indicator pack
  • A copy-trading service

What it is

  • A real-time execution coach
  • A discipline and strategy checker
  • A behavioural guardrail for the account
  • Prop-eval protection — drawdown, limits, targets

Orders and fills come in. Nothing goes back. It cannot place, modify, cancel or route an order — not as a policy, the capability does not exist in the software.

When the warning arrives One trade on a vertical timeline. Two NexTick360 messages arrive inside the window where the outcome can still change; a journal's verdict arrives that evening, far below it.

Pricing

More than a journal, because it isn't one

A journal tells you what happened after it happened. Nothing it shows you arrives in time to change the trade, and nothing in it knows what is normal for you. If a record of your trades is what you want, buy the cheap one — it will do the job.

If you have ever paid for an evaluation retake, you already know what one bad session costs. Compare it to that, not to a journal.

One plan, and everything is in it.

Founding-trader pricing locked in. No card, no spam.

You already know what you do wrong. You don't know what it costs.

Connect it to the platform you already trade and find out, on your own trades, with your own numbers.
