# AI Coach

> Personalized, on-demand coaching that reads your Align Score, playbook adherence, and emotional patterns to improve how you execute.

The AI Coach is your personal trading coach inside TradeAlign. It reads your real history — your [TradeAlign Score](/journal/tradealign-score), playbook adherence, emotions, and mistake tags — and helps you fix what's holding your execution back. It coaches your *process*, not the market.

<Note>
  The AI Coach is a **Pro** feature. Free accounts see a preview with the option to upgrade.

## What it does

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Conversational coaching" icon="comments">
    Ask focused questions about your trading and get specific, data-grounded answers — then follow up to go deeper.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Daily Recap" icon="calendar-day">
    An end-of-day read on today's session — how you executed, whether it matched your Game Plan readiness, and one thing to carry into tomorrow.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Weekly Recap" icon="calendar-week">
    A synthesis of your week — Align Score trend, the standout behavioral pattern, a disciplined win to reinforce, and one focus for next week.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Playbook Audit" icon="clipboard-check">
    A rule-by-rule look at how consistently you actually follow your active playbook, and the one breach costing you most.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  The coach keeps running notes on your goals, the patterns it observes, and the commitments you make — so it sounds like it already knows you. The Daily Recap, Weekly Recap, and Playbook Audit each render as a clean, sectioned report card.
</Note>

## Getting set up

The first time you open the AI Coach, you'll answer a few quick questions so it can coach you like it already knows your game:

<Steps>
  <Step title="What you trade">
    Your instruments (e.g. NQ, ES, MES).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Experience">
    How long you've been trading.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Recurring struggles">
    Select **all that apply** — FOMO, revenge trading, early exits, overtrading, and more.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Your goals">
    Add up to **three goals, most important first**. One is enough to start.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your coach">
    Pick the coaching style that fits you (see [Coaching styles](#coaching-styles)).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Coaching styles

Choose the personality that will actually get through to you. All three hold the same line on discipline — they differ only in tone.

| Style                  | Feels like                                                                    |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **The Analyst**        | Clinical and pattern-first. States what the data shows and trusts you to act. |
| **The Mentor**         | Honest but encouraging. Names real progress before naming the gap.            |
| **The Drill Sergeant** | Blunt and accountability-first. Won't let you blame the market.               |

You can change your style anytime — see [Editing your setup](#editing-your-setup).

## Daily conversations

Coaching is built around *conversations*, not single questions.

* You get **3 conversations per day.** Starting a new topic uses one.
* **Follow-up questions within a conversation are free** — keep going as deep as you need.
* A small pill shows how many conversations you have left today. It **resets daily**.
* Pick a starter prompt or type your own question to begin.

<Tip>
  Use the coach **after** you've logged all your trades for the day. The analysis is only as good as your complete, reviewed data — make sure your trades are [marked as reviewed](/journal/tradealign-score) so the coach can see your Align Score.
</Tip>

<Note>
  The **Daily Recap**, **Weekly Recap**, and **Playbook Audit** do **not** count against your 3 daily conversations. Each can be **generated once per day** — but the result is **saved**, so you can re-open today's report as many times as you like for free (the button switches to "View today's…"). A fresh run is available again the next day.
</Note>

## What the coach will and won't do

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="It will" icon="circle-check">
    Diagnose recurring patterns, name them honestly, and give you one concrete adjustment at a time — always grounded in your own data.
  </Card>

  <Card title="It won't" icon="circle-xmark">
    Predict the market, give trade signals or entry/exit calls, or promise profits. It coaches how you execute *your* plan.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  If the data needed to answer isn't there, the coach tells you what to log rather than inventing numbers. It also stays on trading topics — off-topic questions are redirected and don't use a conversation.
</Note>

## Editing your setup

As your trading evolves, keep your coach current. Open the AI Coach and select **Edit setup** to:

* Switch coaching style (for example, if the Drill Sergeant isn't for you)
* Update your struggles
* Refresh your goals

Your existing coaching history and the notes the coach has built about you are **kept** — only your answers change.

## Starting over

If you'd rather wipe the slate clean, **Edit setup** also has a **Start over** option (tap the info icon next to it for details).

<Warning>
  **Starting over** wipes your coach's memory and deletes your past coaching conversations, then takes you back through setup from scratch. Your trades, journal, playbooks, and stats are **not** affected. This can't be undone.
</Warning>

<Check>
  You're set. Open the AI Coach, pick a starter like *"What's my biggest recurring mistake?"*, and start a conversation.
