How is this different from the daily trade limit checker?

The daily trade limit checker compares your actual trade count today against a numeric limit you set in advance. This checklist scores behavioral warning signs instead, which can show up even before you have technically exceeded a trade count limit.

Do I show the warning signs of overtrading right now?

Q: Do I show the warning signs of overtrading right now?

Check 8 statements about unplanned trades, quick re-entries after stop-outs, restlessness, boredom trading, and losing count of your trades today. The checklist scores how many apply and returns a low, elevated, or high overtrading risk read.

Most traders blow up chasing the setup they missed, not the one in front of them.

How this is calculated

Each checked statement adds one point, out of 8 possible.
A score of 0 to 2 suggests your trading today does not show strong overtrading signals.
A score of 3 to 5 suggests some warning signs are present. Slow down and check each new trade against your written plan before entering.
A score of 6 to 8 suggests several overtrading signals at once. Consider stepping away from the screen for the rest of the session.
This checklist scores behavior patterns, not any single trade's quality. A disciplined trader can still have a rough day. The goal is catching a pattern before it compounds.
