I'm the founder of Mettle. I built it after the realization a lot of traders eventually have: the problem was rarely the strategy. It was doing the same undisciplined thing again after promising myself I wouldn't, with no honest record of it to learn from.
Most journals I tried recorded what happened — entry, exit, P&L — but not why, so nothing actually changed. Mettle is the answer I wanted: a journal built around the review, where you log the play you meant to trade, score your own execution, tag the behavior behind it, and a coach reflects it back against your own history. The point is the feedback loop, not the logbook.
I write the guides and posts here from that seat — a founder building the tool, not a guru selling a system. Everything is grounded in how the product actually works, and I try to be candid about what is measured versus what is self-reported. None of it is financial advice; it's process and craft, the part of trading you can actually control.
