I analyzed trading logs and found behavioral patterns behind most losses

I realized my trading losses weren’t from bad picks — they were from bad behavior.

For the longest time I tracked only my PnL.

But after going through my trade history more carefully, I noticed patterns:

• I panic sold during dips

• I overtraded when the market was slow

• I cut winners early but held losers longer

• After a loss, I’d enter another trade almost immediately

None of this was obvious while trading — but it was very obvious in the trade log.

Things like holding time, trade frequency, how quickly you re-enter after a loss, etc. actually reveal a lot about trading psychology.

That made me curious, so I trained a small ML model on investor datasets to detect behavioral patterns like overtrading, panic selling, and short-term bias directly from trade logs.

The result is basically a “behavior score” for your trading history.

Right now I’m just experimenting and trying to see if traders actually find this kind of analysis useful.

If anyone here actively trades and is willing to share a trade log export (Zerodha / broker export etc.), I’d be happy to run it through the model and send back the behavioral report.

Mostly looking for honest feedback.
