Questions & answers

A single trade's profit or loss is mostly noise. You can do everything right and lose, or do everything wrong and win. Zanshin scores how you traded, including trend, structure, entry timing and risk, so that over hundreds of trades you reinforce good decisions instead of lucky ones.

A lucky win is a profitable trade that came from a poor process, like chasing an extended move or trading without a stop. It feels great, and that's the problem: it teaches your brain that the mistake works. Hindsight bot, the council's mirror, flags these so you don't build habits that will cost you later.

A losing trade where you followed your plan: a valid setup, a sensible stop and the right size. Zanshin gives it full process credit, because the loss is simply the cost of doing business.

It's the focus you keep after the action is over. For a trader, that's the review once a trade is closed: what you did well, what was luck, and what to fix. That's where improvement happens.

You upload a screenshot. The council uses classic image analysis to find the candles, your entry, stop and target lines, then each bot applies its own rules: Trend bot checks trend, Structure bot structure, FVG bot fair value gaps, Liquidity bot liquidity, Timing bot entry timing, Risk bot risk, and Hindsight bot compares process to outcome.

The council is deterministic and runs offline. The same chart gets the same review every time, and there's no chatbot inventing an opinion. If a bot can't find what it needs on your screenshot, it skips the check and tells you why instead of guessing.

Clean candlestick screenshots with visible entry, stop and target lines, like the long/short position tool in TradingView. Dark or light themes both work. Heavy indicator clutter makes reading harder.
