01 The gap
Most traders already know what they are doing wrong. The hard part is understanding why they keep repeating it, and who they need to become to stop.
First edition
You know your strategy. But do you know yourself?
KATA is a psychology-focused trading journal. Not another trade log. Not another backtesting tool.
The product
One quarter, one volume.02 The practice
KATA is built to close that gap. Two pages a day. One before the session, one after it is over, away from the charts and away from the screen.
03 The format
The format is the point. Writing by hand is slower than typing, and the slowness is the feature. It forces a depth of thought a text field never will. Closing the book and leaving the desk breaks the emotional loop that turns one loss into five.

FAQ
Where does it ship?
For now, the first launch is planned for Australia only. However, depending on demand it can be made internationally available. Join the waitlist to be notified when it's available.
What does it cost?
Less than a prop firm evaluation. Final price to be announced.
When does it launch?
First run coming soon. Join the waitlist to be notified first.
Is this a trade log?
No. Trade logs and data tracking are solved by software. KATA covers what software can't: structured psychological reflection, written by hand, away from the screen.
Do I have to trade every day for this to work?
No. Missing a day or a week does not undo a quarter. Resume at the next session rather than trying to catch up.
What do I get for joining the waitlist?
A free PDF sample of the front matter of the journal, including a rule adherence tracker. Plus first access at launch.
