Playbook and Discipline Rules

A Playbook is the set of strict rules and conditions that define your trading strategy and execution plan. In Kaptur, your rules are not dead text: the system mathematically measures how compliance affects your bottom line.

1. Creating and Customizing Your Trading Rules

Kaptur comes pre-configured with a list of basic disciplinary rules, but it is best to adapt them to your specific plan:

1. Go to the Playbook screen in the bottom menu.
2. In the rules section, tap the Edit button next to the rule you want to modify.
3. Write your custom rule in clear, actionable language (for example, "Wait for the 5-minute candle to close" or "Do not risk more than 1% of capital per trade").
4. Tap Save. You can rewrite your rules at any time.

2. Comparing Performance (The Impact of Discipline)

On the Playbook screen, you will see the main discipline impact card. This card automatically compares two fundamental statistics based on the trades you have audited:

• Win Rate with Playbook: The win rate of trades where you marked that you complied with your trading plan rules.
• Win Rate without Playbook: Your win rate on trades where you operated outside your rules (e.g., chasing price, FOMO, or overtrading).
• Monthly Discipline Rate: Calculates the percentage of disciplined trades for the current month out of the total trades.

TIP

If your win rate with playbook is 68% and your rate without playbook is 35%, Kaptur will prove to you with real, undeniable data that trading outside your rules is equivalent to giving money away to the market.

3. Pre-Market Ritual

Self-control and psychological alignment before the market opens are crucial for consistent trading. Kaptur includes a local Pre-Market Ritual designed to center your mind and protect your capital.

How does the Ritual work?

1. Activating Reminders:
   • On the Playbook screen, activate the Pre-Market Ritual toggle.
   • Define the hour of your ritual (typically 15 to 30 minutes before the market opening bell) and select active days (Monday through Friday by default).
2. Shield Notification:
   • At the scheduled time, your device will launch a local notification: "The opening bell is about to ring. Review your plan."
3. Active Concentration Flow:
   • By tapping the notification, you will enter the Focus Mode, a distraction-free visual space where Kaptur will present your rules (mandaments) one by one.
   • You must swipe up or right to consciously accept each rule before starting your trading session.
4. Privacy Protection:
   • This alert and flow run 100% locally on your device. Kaptur does not use push-marketing servers or gather personal usage data from your reminders.
