How it works
Fix it one mistake at a time. Inspired by SMB Capital's Momentum Model.
Find it. For 7 trading days you just log your mistakes. No fixing yet – first you learn what you really do wrong.
Pick one. With Jim, your AI coach, you choose the one mistake that costs you most. Usually it's risk management.
Fix it. You find the solution yourself – Jim helps only when you're stuck. Then you live it for 7 trading days.
Repeat. When the 7 days end, Jim scores that mistake. A small win means the next priority comes from those same days. You keep logging the whole time.
Like learning to walk: nobody runs on day one.
Why not just a journal?
Most journals show you stats. TRAID JIM gives you a process – and a coach who keeps you on it. Free, with a demo you can try before you sign up.
Honest by design
We recommend a real or prop account, because demo trading rarely builds discipline. And our guide tells you to pick the smallest account available: cheaper mistakes. Some prop firm links are affiliate links – using them keeps TRAID JIM free, but you never have to.
Not for you if…
- – you're looking for a magic system you learn once and live off forever,
- – you want AI to do the learning – or the trading – for you.
