Welcome to TDLab: the performance loop
Updated Jul 8, 20264 min read
TDLab is a trading performance platform. It connects your real trade history with behavior, rules and historical market context so you can understand what affected your results, decide what deserves attention and test a precise change on your own trades.
The short version
Import and review your trades. Use Discipline OS to prioritize a behavioral correction, Market Lab to compare performance across historical contexts, the Rule Simulator to test the change and Account Rules to measure whether you follow it.The performance loop
Everything in TDLab is organized around one loop you repeat over time:
- Bring in your trades. Add a trading account, then import from a file or connect a broker for auto-sync.
- Journal and review. Use the Daily Journal for context and Trade Review to tag setups, discipline mistakes, execution quality and whether you followed your plan.
- Diagnose behavior and context. Discipline OS finds recurring behavioral patterns. Market Lab keeps COT, seasonality and rates separate and compares each applicable layer with your own trades.
- Test and enforce rules. Use the Rule Simulator to test what-if rules on your real history, then save the ones that help to your Account Rules, where new trades are scored against them.
Where to start
Head to Trading Accounts to create your first account, then open Add trades to import your history. Once you have trades in, the Dashboard becomes your home base.
