Advanced AI Prompting for Trading Analysis

Getting the Most From the AI Coach

The AI Coach is only as good as the questions you ask it. This lesson covers advanced prompting techniques that extract deeper, more specific insights from your data.

Be Comparative

The AI Coach excels at comparison analysis. Use comparative questions to find your edge:

• "Compare my ORB setup performance in high-volatility markets versus low-volatility markets"
• "How does my performance on Mondays compare to my performance on Fridays?"
• "What's the difference in my average R between trades I entered in the first 30 minutes of the session versus later entries?"

Use Time Constraints

Narrow the analysis to specific periods to track change over time:

• "How has my profit factor changed each month over the past 6 months?"
• "Compare my performance in January to my performance in March — what improved and what got worse?"
• "What's my win rate on the VWAP Reclaim setup in the past 30 days only?"

Ask for Root Cause Analysis

Go beyond describing the problem to identifying the cause:

• "Why do you think my afternoon performance is weaker than my morning performance?"
• "What's causing the drop in my average R on the London FVG setup this month?"
• "What pattern explains my best 10 trades this month?"

Request Specific Metrics

Don't ask open-ended questions if you want specific numbers:

• "What exact percentage of my total losses come from revenge trading?"
• "How many R did I give back in the last month by not reaching targets?"
• "What is my win rate when I enter trades in the first minute of a new 5-minute candle versus mid-candle?"

The Hypothesis Test

When you have a theory about your trading, use the AI to test it:

• "I think I perform worse after two winning trades in a row — is there data to support this?"
• "I believe my stop losses are too tight on the ORB setup — does my data show a high rate of getting stopped out before a move happens?"
• "I feel like Friday trading is my worst day — what does the data actually show?"

This turns the AI Coach into a research partner for hypothesis testing — one of the highest-value use cases available.
