The live session tracks your account while you trade and warns you when you cross one of the rules you set. It is the only journal feature that steps in before the mistake: everything else analyses a day already written.
Contents
A live session is a watch on your account opened for the length of a trading session. While it runs, your equity, floating P&L and positions are mirrored in the app every two seconds, and each of your rules is checked continuously.
The rules are frozen at session start, and that is deliberate: a rule you can loosen in the middle of a bad day protects against nothing. They are evaluated server side, which is the authority, and every trigger is logged with the time and the channels the alert went out through.
The whole value lies in that shift in timing. A statistic arrives the next day, when the day is written; an alert lands while the decision is still ahead of you. It is the same information, and it is not worth remotely the same thing depending on when it arrives.
An alert is only worth something if the threshold behind it is one you meant to hold. An alert ignored three times stops being one: it becomes background noise, and on the day it really counts it goes unnoticed like the rest. One rule you keep beats five you work around.
Then read the trigger log as data in its own right. The rule that breaks most often, and above all the hour at which it breaks, says more about a practice than the monthly average of the discipline score. The same rule crossed systematically at the end of a session does not describe the same problem as one crossed at the open.
The classic mistake. Setting thresholds you do not intend to respect. An alert ignored three times stops being an alert and becomes background noise, and on the day it really counts it goes unnoticed like the rest. One rule you keep protects more than five you work around, and it is the only setting that asks you to be honest before being precise.
It is a watch on your account opened for the length of a trading session. Your equity, floating P&L and positions are mirrored in the app every two seconds, and your rules are checked continuously to warn you when one of them breaks.
MetaTrader 5 only for now. Other connected accounts continue to be journalled and analysed normally, but they are not tracked second by second during the session.
Yes. Monitoring runs server side, not in your browser: you can close the screen or the tab, the rules keep being checked and the email alert still goes out. Every trigger is logged with its time and the channels used.
No, and that is deliberate. Tradoshi places no orders with any broker. The session warns, the decision to cut or carry on stays entirely yours, and your broker remains the source of truth on your positions and balance.
Rules are frozen when the session starts, so a change only takes effect on the next one. That is deliberate: a rule you can loosen in the middle of a bad day protects against nothing, and the middle of a bad day is exactly when you want to loosen it.
The Live session screen opens the watch and mirrors the account: equity, floating P&L, open positions, the day's trades and the intraday equity curve, refreshed every two seconds. The alert log sits below, each with its time and the channels it went out through.
The rules watched are those in Risk management and Settings, the same ones as the discipline score. The difference is timing: the session checks them during, the score counts them after. Alerts can arrive in the app and by email, and the email path is the one that counts, since it goes out even with the screen closed.
