THE GRADE AND THE SPLIT

Where your edge actually is

Every trader who is losing money asks the same question in the wrong order. They ask what to change before they know what is broken. OTIS answers it the other way round: it grades the system and the operator separately, off your own executed trades, so you can see which one is costing you.

Free. No card. Read-only access, always.

What is the Split?

The Split is two scores out of ten, printed in the same order everywhere you see them: EDGE first, then PSYCHOLOGY. Edge is the quality of what you are trying to do. Psychology is how faithfully you did it.

They are deliberately separate because the fix is different. A strong edge with weak discipline is an execution problem, and no new strategy will touch it. A weak edge with strong discipline is the opposite, and more journaling will not touch that either. Most traders have been buying the wrong one for years.

THE TWELVE AXES

Two questions every trader has to answer

Each axis is graded independently, A+ to F, with the reasoning and the trades behind it. You can be A+ on one and F on another, which is the point. You read the pattern, not one letter.

EDGE · SYSTEM QUALITY

Is the strategy right?

Six axes read from your outcomes against the market context that was actually there.

  • DirectionWhen you enter, does price actually go your way?
  • Trend FollowingDo your trades line up with where the market is already heading?
  • In Sync With the SessionAre you trading the way today's session is actually behaving?
  • Banking Your WinnersWhen you are right, how much of the move do you keep?
  • Cutting Your LosersWhen you are wrong, do you get out before the full loss?
  • Edge ConsistencyDoes your edge repeat across markets and time, or just a few spots?
PSYCHOLOGY · OPERATOR CONTROL

Do you execute it?

Six axes read from your fills alone. Never a questionnaire, never a self-rating.

  • Composure After LossesDoes your trading change after a losing streak?
  • Revenge TradingDo losses pull you back in faster than wins?
  • Steady Position SizeIs your size consistent, or all over the place?
  • OvertradingDo you have blowout days where the trade count explodes?
  • Sizing Up After WinsDo you bet bigger right after a win, the greed trap?
  • Psychology ConsistencyDoes your execution hold up no matter when you trade?

The worst axis in your focus area wears a gold ribbon, so the one thing to fix first is unmistakable. More on The Split

You're a better trader than your account shows.

Here's the proof, and the one fix.

THE LEAK WE'VE OBSERVED SO FAR
Overtrading

On your busiest day you took 52 trades against a typical 12.

It's the engine behind your costliest leak: the Unclassified Loss it produces cost you −$12,716 across 145 trades. Fix this one first and the rest follows.

This is the lynchpin: close it and the rest gets easier.

The public demo report, an anonymized real book read end to end. Yours is built the same way, from your own fills.

What you get back

One export of your broker history returns all of it:

  • Your two scores out of ten, Edge and Psychology
  • Twelve letter grades, one per axis, in plain English rather than engine keys
  • The single axis flagged as your area of focus
  • Your costliest leak named, and priced in your own dollars
  • The thirty-second version at the top, and the evidence underneath it
  • A shareable Edge Card carrying the same two scores

Why the two scores beat one

You stop guessing which half is broken

A single overall score tells you that you are losing, which you already knew. Two scores tell you where to spend the next thirty days.

You find out you are better than your account says

Plenty of traders read a strong Edge score next to a weak Psychology score and see, for the first time, that the idea was never the problem.

Nothing is graded on opinion

Every letter comes off trades you actually filled, measured against the market that was actually there at the time.

The same axes are used again at the end

Because the grader does not move, a re-grade after thirty days is a comparison rather than a claim.

How your grade is built

1

You bring your history

Export from the platform you already trade on, or link your account. No new journal and nothing to keep up with.

2

Every fill is re-read against the market of that moment

Not against a rule of thumb. Against the candles, the session and the regime that were live when you clicked.

3

Twelve axes are scored, and one is named

You get all twelve, and then the one worth working first, so you leave with a priority rather than a list.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

See what is working, and the one thing to fix

Your diagnosis names the leak costing you the most and prices it in your own dollars. If you want a hand closing it, you get thirty days: a daily protocol built from your own leak, two live rooms a week with a clinical psychologist, and a re-grade at the end on the same axes, so you can see whether it moved.

THIRTY DAYS

One leak, worked daily

A protocol built from your own pattern, not a course. One thing to hold each morning, one mark each night, and a re-grade at the end. OTIS Plus is $299, once.

EVERY WEEK

Two rooms, and someone who has heard it before

Monday office hours on your own report, and four Wednesday sessions with Dr. Thébaud. Included, not an add-on.

NO RISK TO YOU

Thirty days money back, for any reason

Not conditional on your grade moving and not conditional on anything else. And the diagnosis itself stays free whatever you decide.

Got questions?

Do I need to have been profitable for this to work?

No. A losing book is often the clearer read, because the pattern is louder. The grade describes how you traded, not how much you made.

How many trades do I need?

There is no fixed number. A stark pattern locks quickly and a diffuse one takes longer, and OTIS will tell you which one you are rather than grade you on too little. Every import sharpens it.

What if it cannot find a leak?

Then it says so and does not sell you a thirty-day fix. A book with no nameable leak is the honest opposite of a problem, and OTIS is built to say that out loud.

Your broker file already has the answer.

One export. Both scores, all twelve grades, your costliest leak priced in your own dollars.
